I'd probably say Temple at Senntisten and Heart of Stone as suggested quests personally (they already are indirectly, but I mean, more pronounced), that gives them the chance to both meet Azzanadra in full, and learn about the threat of the Elder Gods. Also lets them get the Blank Observation (I think?).
Nothing substitutes just doing all of the 5th age quests and the previous 6th age quests, of course, but this would give them a good middle-way point between not understanding anything and at least being pretty familiar with the direct characters and the premise the quest is about. Temple at Senntisten is a pretty big ask, but since people already typically aim for that for curses anyway, and this does already require level 70 in a skill, it's not like it's for completely brand new players.
