TheWoWDBYou would think Blizzard had surpassed themselves from the unreasonable obsession of forcing players to go to dungeons for character progression, as it was with professions (Draenor) and in other segments of char leveling.
Here you can see -- they haven't. Now the turning down is for the Kirian campaign.
If you selected Kirian as your covenant, you'll reach this block in your progression if you really don't care about dungeon/raids as much as you did years ago, or if you're new and not interested in wasting your time with brats complaining all the time. And also for older players, who aren't that crazy about the group hunt anymore, with all its hassles, this is highly disapointing.
Honestly, I can't think of this game policy as sustainable, as players tend to lose interest in those grouped missions. At least for a good while like myself.
Sadly this is now the case with Kirians, as far as I know. I got 2 alts, one with Night Fae and another with Necrolords. They've gone smoothly in their progression, as well as the renown growth and campaign completion, gear rank raise, etc. But, not the poor Kirian alt... sigh... Truly considering changing covenant.

The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
Devos should have been killed scenario-style in the previous quest, and the dungeon could have some other random guy for an end boss and not been involved in the covenant story-line.
Forcing people in just ONE of the covenants to run a dungeon is just damned stupid.
Sigh
Despise dungeons, raids cuz i suck. Why does Blizzard tend to force persons into doing these just so the storyline can be continued. Just being honest. Please don't flame me to bad. After all I could be in one of your groups and then you would see I wasn't lying. Enjoy the game, just don't like having to burden others with my inept playing. N yes I enjoy Torghast as I can solo play it and suck to my hearts content *grins*

What to do
Plume of the Archon, 51g 48s, 10,200 XPDescription
Our task is not complete yet. We may have pushed back the Forsworn here in Elysian Hold, but it was only a distraction to split our forces. The Archon and the Paragons fight to retake the Spires themselves. We cannot hesitate to aid them in this time of need!

- Forged by Trial
<name>, my friend. I have thought of you as an ally for some time now. The thrill I felt when you decided to join us in Bastion... I knew you would be a boon unto our ranks. Our bond has been forged by the trials we face. Without you, I could have fallen to my newfound knowledge as Achillon did.
