TheWoWDBIf you click the NPCs and get no speech box, its the addon Immersion that's breaking it. Took a bit of testing but turning that off briefly fixed the issue.

If you are unable to progress this quest as of writing this comment, there is a post on the blizzard support forums and they have confirmed a bug and no current work around for the issue currently.
I am at the last step of this quest, choose your Covenant and the map is highlighted but I can't interact with it. Disabled all addons, reset my client, different /scripts found online, nothing works. Raised a ticket which was automatically answered with a list of troubleshooting steps which i already did. I have raised another now, waiting for response. I'm so pissed it stops me from continuing the story...
Not sure if it's pre patch that did something but looking at previous comments there seems to be issues with this quest since it got added.
EDIT 29/07: got this response from GM responding to my ticket:
We have received several reports of this issue and can confirm it is not working as intended. Currently, we do not have a workaround or resolution that can be provided. We apologize for any inconvenience while our developers work as quickly as possible to resolve the issue.
so they aren't able to choose the covenant for me, just asking to wait and not confirming whether it will be sorted or not
EDIT NO 2: 30/07
thanks to another user in the comments i can continue now, thanks jorank94!Just to follow up on this as this character at level 70 that got stuck on this quest. Set your hearthstone to Ring of Fates, Oribos. Visit Chromie back in Stormwind/Orgrimmar and select, 7. I want to explore the afterlives. Hearth to Oribos, hopefully you should see the hand to interact with the table.

Description
Each covenant is vital to the Shadowlands. Though they often seem at odds with one another, this too is part of the Purpose. All the covenants need to grow strong to face the threat of the Jailer. But your efforts cannot be divided. They must be focused upon a single path. Other mortals may make a different choice. The time has come for you to take a side. Speak to your allies. Then make your choice at the map of the Shadowlands before me.

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.
