On a quite new character, I had to do some of the old campaign quests (2/9) until helping to free the Runecarver's arm. I got The First Move when I turned in The Weak Link and returned to Oribos.
You can talk to Highlord Bolvar Fordragon instead of Polemarch Adrestes to skip until Korthia.

When I skipped it, I immediately got Call of the Primus. Talk to Tal-Inara in Oribos to start the questline for Zereth Mortis.
She also offers a skip, I've you have done the campaign with an alt before. You'll start there with 3/7 chapters of Secrets of the First Ones and unlocked world quests.

Beware that you will miss the rewards of the first three chapters, if you skip them.
Edit: With the Hotfix for March 18th, players who skip the Zereth Mortis story will get the reputation with the Enlightened.

Campaign:
Chapter 1

Chapter 1 took about 25 minutes with itemlevel <190.

Chapter 2:

Favor of the First Ones - burn 8 objectives
Necessary Harvest - collect 15 protein from enemies
Our Forward Scouts - find and talk to 3 Knight of the Ebon Blade
Knowing is Half the Battle - travel to the marked area, meet Shandris Feathermoon
Scour the Sands - go to the yellow circles to discover the area. If you lose your stealth, talk to Shandris Feathermoon nearby
/way 48.43 47.54 1
/way 51.51 48.59 2
/way 50.60 45.25 3
/way 47.99 44.84 4
Battle for the Forge - kill 8 enemies
Together, We Ride - click 5 Injured Ranger
In Plain Sight - reach the obelisk and kill enemies behind you until Converted Guardian is attackable. Kill it
Reinforcements May Be Necessary - return to Haven
A Break in Communication - give orders to 3 NPC
Nothing is True - kill 4 Jiro Caretaker: throw questitem Tonal Jammer on Jiro Caretaker
This is Your Fault, Fix It - click 5 Forge Defense Node
Doppelganger Duel - go to the marked area in the middle of the map and fight against this person :-)
Fighting for the Forge - talk to Lady Jaina Proudmoore
Seeking Haven - click the teleport to return

Chapter 2 took about 40 minutes with itemlevel <200.
I got several itemlevels, about 1900 rep with The Enlightened, some Anima and 12 renown so far (chapter 1 & 2).

Chapter 3:

Danger Near and Far - go to the marked area and enter the building
A Mysterious Voice - click the door, watch dialogue and kill attacking enemies
Core of the Matter - return to Haven and talk to Elder Kreth
Seeking the Unknown - enter the building at 33.63 65.78 and click the information
Finding Firim - find the NPC, click its corpse and go to the cave
Security Measures - click the Sensory Synchronizer near you. Leave the cave and reset 10 traps
Unseen Agents - kill 3 enemies
Now You May Speak - talk to Firim and click the console
Surveying Cyphers - examine the 3 concordances marked on your map. Visit the fourth location. Kill Maw-Frenzied Lupine and click the item behind him. Return to the cave
Cyphers of the First Ones - click the console again. Unlock the first option and get your Pocopoc
The Way Forward - return to Haven

Chapter 3 took about 30 minutes with itemlevel 200. It gave less rewards than the previous ones.
In total I got about 2k reputation, 15 itemlevels and 15 renown.

Accept Patterns Within Patterns before you go on with anything.

Completing this quest concludes this section of the story line, and unlocks the first part of the next questline, the following three "core" quests

Our Forward Scouts
Necessary Harvest
Favour of the First Ones

However, in addition to this, and apparently not mentioned anywhere that I have seen either here, or in Wowpedia - this also unlocks a bunch of "side" quests as follows:

Legendary Assistance
Wanted: Custos
You Supply the Effort

Enlightened Exodus
this is followed up by: Security Check
then: Trace of Tampering
next is both Broker Decloaker and Xy are you doing this?
then: Following the Leader
and: Technical Difficulties

This last chain counts towards the achievement Path to Enlightenment with Not AI are lost

Links

The Forces Gather

Speak to Elder Kreth in Zereth Mortis.

	Zereth Mortis Portal used (1)
	Speak with Elder Kreth (1)

Description

I am relieved that you survived the passage to Zereth Mortis. From what I've overheard of Pelagos's conversation with Kleia, it sounds like you had an incredible journey. These Enlightened brokers could make valuable allies. Their knowledge of the automa and the land itself should help us against the Jailer. Our forces are gathered and ready to follow you to Zereth Mortis. The final battle lies before us, $p.
