As stated above, it doesn't matter what choice you select you'll be transported to your chosen faction city.
Transcription below!

You have been marked by the goddess, Player. It is time for you embark on a journey.


My Journey is my own.
(Skips directly to spoken dialouge below.)

If player selects Option 2.
But I want to stay here. With our people.

No, Player, you have been marked by the goddess to have a different fate than the rest of us. Your journey is to take place beyond Harandar, in the world, above the roots. So say the goddess.


I understand, elder.

Spoken Dialouge

Hagar: Keep the rootway open, Orweyna. The outsider, the song, everything that happened here today --
Dalnir: We cannot! Tradition dictates that we remain in Harandar!
Hagar: Tradition dictates that we follow the goddess' song, Dalnir. Player, follow the visions. Follow your heart. Find the Goddess.

Probably the quickest introduction quest, I was shocked at how fast we leave for the capital! Kinda makes me wish for the old days when starting zones would take an hour or so lol

Description

{name}, I see you now for who you are. You are dedicated not just to our people, but to the world. The goddess has acknowledged you as well, and I can not recall such an event--not even Orweyna's ceremony was so eventful. This is where your story begins. It is time for you to take the first steps of your journey.

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.
