(Edit: as of this point in Shadowlands, it appears they've stripped away most of the prereqs for the allied races, and you should be able to get this at level 50 without needing to do Nazjatar.)

----

In order to get this quest for the Tauren heritage armor, you need:


  • to be level 120

  • to be exalted with the Thunder Bluff faction

  • to have completed the "Stay of Execution" scenario, as part of the 8.2 Nazjatar questline

Some good news about the last part: if you've completed the Baine scenario on any character, you don't have to re-do everything on your Tauren -- if you're 120 and exalted with Thunder Bluff, you'll find this quest waiting for you at the Orgrimmar embassy.

    As you know, the spiritwalkers commune with our ancestors and maintain balance within the spirit realm. It is a sacred duty that links our present to our past. But lately the spiritwalkers have been troubled by visions of chaos and turmoil. Of a rising darkness.
