Find the Sunreaver Mage inside the Sunreaver Pavilion at the Argent Tournament Grounds. She is to the right as you enter the pavilion. Click on her and she will create a portal to Orgrimmar.
Be careful when you get to Orgrimmar. Do not click the portal (as I did) or you'll wind up back in the tournament grounds.

If you are alliance, obviously you go to stormwind. You do not end up in the portal room, but opposite the guy in sw that gave out the icecrown quest.
You turn in this quest to where the whole quest chain starteed with Genn at the memorial area in sw.The argent guy gives you the quest to go kill nathanile blightcaller next.
The portal in org now takes you back directly to the portal TO org that you just created in Sunreaver Pavilion :) I did the same thing as you and luckily they had changed it lol

What to do
Description
You must bring word of what we have uncovered back to Orgrimmar. One of our mages can open a portal for you at the tournament grounds. As for the Argent Crusade, we must remain a bulwark against the Scourge. If you wish to continue aiding us, I will see to it that your skills are put to good use. May the Light protect you, {name}.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Message from Above
This is troubling news, <name>. Whoever this "Banished One" may be, it is clear he is behind the Scourge's return. That the undead are amassing in great numbers outside Icecrown Citadel cannot be a coincidence. Lead our hippogryph riders in surveying the area from above.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Only Shadows Remain
We may not know who this dark herald serves, but it is clear that the message she brings has emboldened the Scourge and the Cult of the Damned alike. This cannot be allowed to continue. We must vanquish her and strike a definitive blow against her master's new minions. Lead the charge, <name>.
