      Talk to Thassarian to fight Prince Valanaar. Note that the prince has an ability called Soul Deflection in which he channels a purple beam to all party members. Stop attacking when he does so, because all damage done on him is reflected to you while he channels.

Fly to Westguard Keep in the Howling Fjord and get Of Traitors and Treason (Note: if you have The Lost Courier in your quest log, you must abandon that first before you can get the quest).
