TheWoWDBLike the quest [Mac'Aree, Jewel of Argus], this cutscene is a scene from the novel Rise of the Horde. Archimonde and Kil'jaeden's lines are even direct quotes from the book.

Description
<Velen continues to stare at the statue as he speaks.> Thousands of years ago, when I was young, I made a choice. A choice that allowed my world to fall to ruin. A choice that made my people exiles. A choice that forever separated me from my beloved brothers. <Velen shakes his head.> I cannot leave, not yet. Not until I have had a chance to reflect.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Talgath's Forces
I must continue to seek the Crest of Knowledge, my friend. Nothing short of the whole Crown of the Triumvirate can turn the tide in the battle we face. Talgath's forces stand between us and that goal. I will need you to clear a path. We can let nothing stand in our way. Not even Talgath.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Across the Universe
Talgath. There was a time I called him an ally, a friend. I put my trust in him when it came time to leave Argus. I asked him to call out to the others who would join me. I gave him all that he needed to betray me and slaughter my followers.
