TheWoWDBFormerly the location of the Sunwell, this is the isle containing Magisters' Terrace and Sunwell Plateau. Additionally it is the site of the Shattered Sun Offensive's headquarters, Sun's Reach.
The isle can be accessed through flight paths from Silvermoon City (Horde-only), Ironforge (Alliance-only), Light's Hope Chapel in the Eastern Plaguelands (neutral), and Hatchet Hills (by Zul'Aman) in the Ghostlands (also neutral) - at level 70, any player automatically knows these flight paths.
Additionally, after participating in a server-wide event on the island - essentially completing lots of daily quests until the Sun's Reach Sanctum is recovered - a new quest, Intercepting the Mana Cells, becomes available. When this has been completed enough times, a portal will be established from Shattrath City directly to the isle.

For those of us wondering how the heck do I get back to Shattrath City Now! (Because the Portal is a one way trip...)
Do the daily quest: Know Your Ley Lines given by Astromancer Darnarian in Sun's Reach Sanctum south of the Sun's Reach Harbor.
On completion you will be given [item=35230] (and 4g40s) as a reward which has 1 charge to teleport you back to Shattrath City.
[item=35230] apparently stacks in lots of 200!
the Only means of getting back to Shattrath City. vote this up!
also.. need help with formatting. the link for Know Your Ley LinesKnow Your Ley Lines doesn't look right.
Edit: I see how it works now :) (quest=11547) is just symbolic until it gets updated by Wowhead. cool.
The Isle of Quel'Danas is the location the Sunwell, from which the blood elves once drew their power until it was corrupted by Arthas (who used it to resurrect Kel'Thuzad). The remaining energies of the Sunwell exist as Anveena. Kael'thas Sunstrider has reignited the Sunwell in preperation for the arrival of Kil'jaeden.
Horde and Alliance players may fly here from Silvermoon City and Hatchet Hills (outside Zul'Aman), respectively. Neither flight path needs to be discovered at level 70.
The Isle also houses the Shattered Sun Offensive, the forces of the Sryers and the Aldor (finally) united against Kael'thas. Players may complete daily quests to aid the Offensive in retaking the Isle from Kale'thas, the Wretched, and the Burning Legion.
