Don't do this quest the long way - Don't collect Coalesced Light orbs around the zone for Latent Arcana!
TL;DR - Use the coins from from Lord Sathriel to get quests from the guests - The quests reward 25 Latent Arcana per quest = the 100 Latent Arcana required for the Runestone!

In contrast to other comments, this was a very easy and quick quest to complete solo (except for the very final kill - read on).

Each week you select a sub-faction from Lord Sathriel, two of which offer a bonus coin (this week for me it showed the bonus coin for Blood Knights and Shades of the Row, not sure if this changes week to week)

You receive 3 coins by default, and an extra coin if you choose a faction with a bonus as above - This week, I chose Blood Knights, hence why I'm commenting on this quest.

With each coin, you speak to the four faction representatives in the same area (they have progress bars above their heads), and offer them a coin.
In return, they offer you a quest - Each quest rewards 25 Latent Arcana - 4 tokens (if you pick the bonus) = 100 Latent Arcana
These quests are very simple kill/collect quests around Eversong with minimal requirements.

You take your 100 Latent Arcana rewarded from the 4 quests to a Runestone and repeatedly click the button in the popup window - 100 Latent Arcana = 100% progress bar on the Runestone

Once the Runestone is at 100%, a heap of mobs will spawn, you kill a bunch of them to get another progress bar to 100%

Everything has been easily and quickly solo-able so far

Now an elite spawns - It is only for this final elite where a group would be handy, but in my case, there were a heap of players who happened to instantly turned up and it was all over in a few minutes.

This is probably the hands down worst event ive done in wow in my 20 years of playing the game. Good job blizzard.
Maybe this is supposed to be done as a group thing and i did it early in the morning so i had to charge these stones totally by my self, which takes AGES.
For the record you have to collect those small yellow orbs around Eversong then go back to the runestone to charge it. One orb give you about 5% progress on the stone, and i think i have found one of these orbs every 10min or so.
I will be humble and say that, maybe im just terrible at the game, but this is honestly just garbage quest/event design imo.

edit: i have since writing calmed down a bit, and this is infinitely easier when there are players around.
TLDR: Dont try to do this event alone in the middle of the night is my tip to others.

Description

The Magisters placed a number of runestones throughout Eversong Woods, each one charged with protective arcane magic intended to ward off the Lightbloom. Naturally, the runestones require an immense amount of power to function. They can be fed with latent arcana, but that power draws enemies seeking to claim it. As Blood Knights, it is our duty to defend the runestones--especially when the eyes of this Haven are upon us. Recharge their arcane power and defend them from those who would threaten us.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Fortify the Runestones: MagistersEversong Woods · Level 80-90

    We placed a number of runestones throughout Eversong Woods, each one charged with protective arcane magic intended to ward off the Lightbloom. While highly effective, the runestones require an immense amount of power to function. They must be regularly fed with latent arcana lest they weaken.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Fortify the Runestones: FarstridersEversong Woods · Level 80-90

    The Magisters placed a handful of runestones across Eversong, each one charged with arcane magic that wards off the Lightbloom. As you might guess, the runestones require a huge amount of power to function. The Magisters feed them with latent arcana, but that kind of power draws a lot of attention.
