It's just a dialogue between Archmage Modera and Aethas Sunreaver. You have to stay and listen to. It takes 1 minute and 40 seconds. Thats fine.
Dialogue is under the spoiler:

Spoiler
Aethas Sunreaver says: Thank you both for meeting me in such an inhospitable location. I assure you that if I were able to join you in Dalaran, I would.
Archmage Modera says: The wounds inflicted by the Divine Bell incident run deep, Aethas. Others in the council are not as forgiving as I.
Aethas Sunreaver says: Precisely why I'm here. If I can't return to my former position, then perhaps the council will at least consider restoring my access to the city. As a show of good faith, I have information to offer.
Archmage Modera says: I will bring your case before the others... but I cannot promise the outcome will be in your favor.
Aethas Sunreaver says: You have my thanks, friend.
Aethas Sunreaver says: I once knew Lyandra Sunstrider, a distant relative of King Anasterian. Though she bore the Sunstrider name, in truth her branch of the family held no claim to the throne.
Aethas Sunreaver says: After Kael'thas's betrayal, she became obsessed with finding Felo'melorn to claim it for her own. I told her it was a fool's errand, that she'd never find the relic. Indeed, it has been many years since I last heard from her.
Aethas Sunreaver says: But with the Legion's coming, I decided to begin my own search for the location of the blade. I saw a vision of Lyandra with the weapon in hand. Around her the land was covered in ice, and an all-too-familiar fortress loomed behind her.
Archmage Modera says: Icecrown. You believe you'll find her there?
Aethas Sunreaver says: Indeed I do. And nothing happens in that citadel unless its master wills it. I would not be surprised to learn he had a hand in this.

Description

Felo'melorn, the runeblade of the kings of Quel'Thalas. It was said to harness the very essence of flame and after being reforged by Kael'thas could even stand against the legendary Frostmourne. We thought that the blade was lost with Kael'thas's death but an associate of mine has a lead on where it may be located. We need every advantage we can get and with Felo'melorn in your hand the Legion surely will tremble! Ah, our company is here.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • An Unexpected MessageLevel 10-45

    Ah, Felo'melorn. I am familiar with this weapon. For ages the Council of Tirisfal attempted to recover the blade. Its control over the primal forces of fire would be devastating in the wrong hands.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Frozen FlameLevel 10-45

    It is time we make our move, <name>. I can conjure a portal that will take you directly inside but it will take some time before I can make another and join you. The Lich King will no doubt sense the magic of your arrival so you will need to move fast to locate Felo'melorn and secure it.

The storyline at a glance

Felo'melorn has 3 steps, from An Unexpected Message to The Frozen Flame.

Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): Hillsbrad Foothills (2), Dalaran (1).
