I think that the "Ranger- Protector of Umar Hills" in your journal is the start of the Ranger stronghold. In that case I think you have to go to the Merella's cabin and someone approaches you and the quest begins(about three days after you complete the shade lord quest). If you've taken too long you may have lost your stronghold.
I don't want to spoil anything but you should not have gave the kids swords and beer either. PM me if you want more information.
