Not sure if it's of interest to anyone, but when talking to Magister Umbric outside the dungeon entrance, there is an additional dialogue option for Void Elves only, to "tell Umbric you understand the feeling". It reads:
"Thank you, [name].
I hope you do not regret the path that led you here with me. If you'll forgive me a moment of sentimentality... I'm very happy you're here.
We've lost many along the way. Those who have succumbed to the Void, those that have lost themselves in the madness...
But you are here. If ever you doubt your strength, your resilience, remember:
You are here. And that is enough.
Thank you."

Description
We know there's land inside the Voidstorm, through its massive portal. If we can reach it, we can take the fight to Xal'atath. I have found the key. It is a relic known as the Cynosure of Twilight. For ages, it has mystified us by revealing unreachable pathways to infinite unknowns. My research tells me I can use it to open a path to the storm. There's just one problem: it's in Magisters' Terrace. And I'm not exactly... in their good graces, at the moment.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Rising Storm
That was an entropic wave. We felt them just before Xal'atath launched her assault on the Sunwell. Champion, you move faster than my best messengers. I need you to check in with the Vanguard commanders and see if their defenses will hold against this latest assault by Xal'atath's Devouring Host.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- No Fear of the Dark
Against all odds, we made it. I can open a way into the storm, but it will be a tenuous connection. We can only get a small team through the portal. We have no idea what awaits us on the other side. We must be prepared. I can use the Cynosure to bind us to Magisters' Terrace.
