However KoS does suggest that Argrath had a clear plan. Of course the history is written after the event, but it seems a key component of the "double quest" that he embarked upon.

I would agree that Harmast didn't appear to clearly know what he was seeking. Although possibly his second quest was more specific.

In the analogous quest of the Seven Mothers, their quest seemed to be targeted, so maybe Argrath learnt from this.
