Opened the portal myself as a mage... Was not amused when the quest was not completed

What to do
Description
You must bring word of what we have uncovered back to Stormwind. 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}.

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>.
