Stay awhile dialogue differences:

Non-Loyalist
"I have made many foes on the path that brought me here. Most of them once called me an ally.
I do not regret the choices I made, nor do I bear ill will toward those who met me with their fangs bared.
But know this: I cannot stop now. I MUST NOT stop now, or all I have done will have been for naught.
Return to Azeroth. Fight the battles ahead of you. One day, our paths will cross again."

Loyalist
"It has been many years since you chose to follow me, despite where I led you.
Know this. I do not deal in regrets. For all that has happened, and all we have done... It would be a greater crime still, to falter now.
Return to Azeroth, my champion. You will be of more use there, in the days to come. And should any of our allies ask...
Tell them that the Dark Lady watches, even now."

Upon Completion you get:

Non-loyalist

"Needless to say, you and I have not always seen eye to eye. All the same, I owe you thanks. Arator is a naive fool, but he is family."
"Now go. See to it that he returns home safely. "

Loyalist

"I am not certain what it says about you, that you have remained loyal to me even now. But I am grateful, for all that you have done. For better or worse, I would not be where I am now without your assistance and counsel."
"Given your position in the world, it would be unwise for me to say such things while others linger. But know this: I am grateful that you chose to stand with me."

I skipped most of the cut scenes, for this one I did not skip it, I wasn't able to see her playing the music earlier and I can't hear her voice, so it appeared that I wasn't able to do the turn in. After standing at 26.21, 31.71 for about 3 minutes the yellow question mark appeared above her head.

I assume she was just talking the entire time and this is a bug that blizz hasn't fixed yet.

I played loyalist and I think so? She says "it has been many years since you chose to follow me, despite where I led you. " Then the turn-in quest box says "I'm not certain what it says about you, that you have remained loyal to me even now, but I am grateful for all that you have done..." And more, for loyalists only.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Repent of the HighborneThe Maw · Level 80

    The reagents are gathered, and the lingering souls have been put at ease for the moment. We do not have long. Stand back, while I send them to where they are meant to dwell.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Returning to LifeThe Maw · Level 80

    When I decided to come here, I have to admit that I wasn't sure what I would find. There's no disputing the terrible things that Sylvanas has done, and it's a burden that she will have to bear for the rest of her days. But seeing her, like this... Come. We've been here too long as it is.
