TheWoWDBIf you attempt to talk with Forgelite Sophone and Clora off to the side, you will find you can't on account of them being too high up. Using Wild Charge in Druid Mount Form, I was able to get the dialogue with a recording and screenshot of the frame. Its not enlightening dialogue or reveals some hidden truth, but its a shame that in game this dialogue is barely visible. I'd include the screenshots for veracity but it seems like it would be against the guidelines. Anyways this is what they say:
Forgelite Sophone:
"My forge has been nothing bustling! The push into Korthia has provided us with more than enough work to do, helping to equip kyrian for the efforts there.Next we must prepare for the return of the forsworn aspirants, as well as forging whatever may be necessary for any new trials for the Path.
Of course, with more work comes more chaos. I've got stewards and spirants alike contributing to the cause however they can. Perhaps one day, new aspirants will start flooding in once more... but for now we have plenty on our hands."
Clora:
"Maw Walker! Thank you for all you have done. If it were not for you, I may never have received my wings... and, of course, the Shadowlands may have fallen to a darkness from which it could never recover.There is much to be done, to be sure, but I am confident that together with the other covenants, we will see to the end of this crisis--and be all the better for it."

There is a portal to Oribos on the floor off the the right at you look at the Archon at the end of this bit. You don't talk to anyone about it, and it doesn't give you a hint like 'Optional - take the portal to Oribos'. It just says, 'leave...'.
So this is for all those who ended up using their hearthstone to get out of there :)
If you are a bit too fast like I was and accidentally take the portal to Oribos before handing in the quest, you can simply abandon the quest, fly to Elysian Hold in Bastion (using a flying mount if you aren't kyrian, as there will not be a flight path to there), and then talk to the NPC Polemarch Kalisthene (37.17 61.45) which will tp you back to the Seat of the Archon.
Here you will pick up the quest (that you just abandoned), and then you will take the portal away from there.I tried going to Elysian hold after abandoning the quest and apparently the NPC with the quest is actually there, but unfortunately that doesn't work, as the objective of the quest is to Leave the Seat of the Archon quite literally.
