Start with Khadgar quest Bringer of the Light, after he opens up a portal to Exodar:

Stage 1 – The Prophet and the Butcher: Seek out Prophet Velen in the Vault of Lights.

Simply open your map to find his location.
You can mount but there will be lots of demons so be sure to avoid them until you make your path to Velen
Stage 2 – In Defense of the Exodar:Rescue terrified citizens found throughout the Exodar and destroy Legion fel portals.

BONUS QUEST: Nobundo's Last Stand will appear in your map in this stage. As soon you start it, four(4) weaves of demons will come and then a final Elite Boss Karzak the Impaler. Keep mobs away from Farseer Nobundo and If you are healer remember to heal injuried npcs while you help them to kill demons. ALERT!: You can complete this Bonus Quest ONLY during this Stage 2
A RARE NPC SPAWN Huk'roth the Huntmaster in this stage too. Clear a bit some of its companions. If you destroy the legion fel portal close to its loaction, that will spawn friendly NPCs that can help you to kill, just bring the mobs in their direction
While you destroy Legion Fel Portals, if you don't want waste time killing/clearing demons just avoid or ignore them, keep running, they actually will stop following you at some point, good tip for healers!
For rescue terrified citizens, best and faster spot for me was Trader's Tier, in fact there is a stairs at 69.4 83.0 to a structure where you can find 6-8 of them all together without being attack
Stage 3 – Return to the Prophet:Return to Prophet Velen in the Vault of Lights.
Stage 4 – The Light's Heart:Let Prophet Velen examine the Mysterious Lightbound Object.
Stage 5 – A Long Way Down...:Speak to Prophet Velen, then escort him to the Seat of the Naaru.
Final Stage – Revelations...:Defeat High General Rakeesh.

If you want to restart this scenario just right click your portrait and find the option "Leave Instance Group" to leave and start again.

Velen says to hurry, he cannot hold up the barrier for long. I feel confident now saying that is not true. My kid dropped her pet turtle out the window, and I had to step away to find it. A good ten minutes later, (turtle was fine) we were all still happy and healthy inside the bubble.

I feel foolish for not noticing this sooner, but the Terrified Exodar Citizens show up on your mini-map

Comment by Wyr3d

Don't forget there's a rare mob in here. It's got stupid amounts of health, so kite all the dogs away first to clear a path, and take the gates nearby to up some draeni warrior buddies and banners.

Then kite the big guy over to get them to help out. He drops some nice things D:

Something I noticed... while channeling the destruction of the Legion Portals, if you look closely within the lightning/spell effect, you can see the silhouette of a rabbit.

Comment by Kaelbrig

This quest bugged for me after escorting Velen to the seat of the Naaru. Once we arrived...........nothing. Gah! Anyone else faced this issue and, if so, how did you remedy it?

Comment by xylotism

At the very end of the scenario Velen tells you to take Light's Heart and return to Khadgar -- you don't actually need to take anything, just use the portal spell that shows up in your quest tracker to return to Dalaran/Khadgar.

Comment by oozie

warning - I did the bit destroying 8 thingies and rescuing 12 people, then returned to velen, but had to go to lunch - so logged out - when I returned after lunch my character was back in dalaran and I had to restart the whole thing again - in other words you must do all of this exodar thing in one go !

Comment by xylotism

I had a bug happen when I did this scenario on my Demon Hunter - did everything (including optional wave quest and elite mob), got all the way to the part where Velen clears the big spiral staircase/ramp of all the green goop, then... he fell through the floor. Green goop didn't get cleared, I tried to dash down to the bottom before it killed me but he wasn't there -- just stuck somewhere in the middle of the ramp.

I couldn't figure out any way to fix it (including /reload) so I had to abandon the quest and start the entire scenario over. Not fun.

Comment by LiriellGarrosh

On one of my previous runs through this scenario, my son asked why I stayed inside Velen's bubble, and I said that it's what they quest text said to do. However, this last time (I have a lot of alts, lol) I sort of trailed behind, just outside of the green fel crap on the floor. When I got to the bottom, Velen was there briefly, then he decided to go about halfway up to the top and hang out, just out of reach. I tried jumping over the wall and was unable to clear any part of it. I logged out, and when I logged in again, I was back in Dalaran, and had to start the scenario over again.

TLDR: Don't get too far behind Velen while he's in his cleansing bubble.

Comment by MarcusMaximi

Same issue for me, I checked support forums. 10 months ago it was reported on US forums, 3 pages of people moaning and not onesingle blue response.
EU forums same time scales but the thread swiftly locked by Kiemmaki without a resolution - tw*t

Comment by hovardbehunt

As of 7.2.5, if you die going down the ramp (in my case, I got fancy and flew down as a demon hunter, couldn't find Velen, and ran back up through the green, dying), you res on the main floor, and Velen is waiting for you halfway down having cleaned to there. So you only have to repeat the last bit of ramp.

Comment by Wimbleton

So thrilled to be back here again. If only Irvine would help out our alts just a little bit more, maybe by skipping buggy things like this? Forgot my can of Raid. Rogues - many of the hostiles in this scenario can see through stealth. Yup, I made the same short Anglo-Saxon observation. Also, the Invasion Point "gates" you're supposed to destroy aren't actually physically there, so you can't hide behind them while trying to hide from creatures that can see through stealth. Hostiles won't go around them while chasing you either; they'll just motor right on through. So stealth is not an option.

Vanish seems to work but the twenty-minute cooldown makes it almost useless. All your other abilities work most of the time. Good luck.

Comment by Vulger81

If you fail at the "A Long Way Down..." stage, after you rez, just run back to where Velen was channeling the shield. You should find him in a little hallway just before that big open room.

Comment by PrefeX

This scenario contains two special, semi-hidden quests, as well as a special dialogue event between Prophet Velen and the members of "Light's Chosen" after completing the scenario.
Both the quests and the event can be really easy to miss, so here they are, so you don't miss out.

Quests:

During the scenario, there are two special quests available, that can only be accepted and completed while inside the scenario. Please note that these quests become unobtainable once you start on stage 4. Your best bet is to complete then during stage 2.

These are the two quests:

Special encounter:

After you have completed the final stage (defeat High General Rakeesh), you are given Khadgar's Beacon (check your bags) that you can use to teleport back to Dalaran.
When you use the item, you start a special, "secret", dialogue event. This event only seems to appear it you start casting the teleportation on Khadgar's Beacon, and quickly cancel the casting before you are teleported out of the scenario.

The event starts the second you use the item, but the dialogue is delayed due to NPC interactions, so if you don't know it's there, you are likely to have teleported out before you can see anything happening.

NB:
The special event ONLY seems to start if you attempt to leave the scenario by using Khadgar's Beacon. Trying to wait, using the "Leave instance group", or attempting to use of any type of hearthstone, teleportation or portal don't seem to activate the event.

Event dialogue:

Divinius says: We came as soon as we were able! Thank the Light that you are safe, prophet!
Prophet Velen says: I am neither prophet nor pawn. Not any longer.
Prophet Velen says: Did Romuul survive?
Divinius says: Grand Artificer Romuul yet lives, sir!
Prophet Velen says: Good. Find Romuul. Tell him to begin repairs on the vessel. We are going home.

You should note that if you leave the scenario and hand in the quest, you can't access it later. If you haven't handed in the quest, and missed out on the quests or the encounter, and want to complete these, you have to abandon your quest, and do the scenario again.

Running this questline and scenario as a Lightforged Draenei...priceless loregasm.

Comment by Basalina

I completed this entire scenario as a Druid in Cat form using Prowl. I crept behind the green portals to break them with out alerting the Fel dogs. Heart pounding all the time but was so much fun. Obviously you cannot take down the end boss in stealth but quite easy anyway. Thank you to all of the people who leave such handy hints and way points. Happy hunting

Comment by CindriKat

Just ran this scenario on a rogue; draenei NPCs pulled extra mobs just after I destroyed a portal before they could place a banner, they died and I was shortly overwhelm and died too. Once I made it to Revelations, Garona commented: "Rumors of your death are greatly exaggerated, Shadowblade. They said the demons got you. We came to make sure."
Can anyone confirm if this is rogue specific dialogue or if it only shows up if you die earlier in the scenario?

Comment by Noswaith

Not sure if its warlock exclusive or if Demon Hunters get a similiar dialogue, but I saw a funny exchange:

Ritssyn Flamescowl: This imbecile, Calydus, insisted I bring him along. I refused. He followed me anyway. Let's get this over with before I lose my patience and incinerate him.

Prophet Velen: This is awkward.
