I'm stuck on both "Return to Dornogal" and the part "Consult the Tome to learn more about Arathis fight", logging in or out doesn't solve it nor does abandoning the quests. Hours wasted </3

Update: I tried the whole questline again on an alt since 12.0.0 update, and it worked flawlessly, so it seems to be fixed :)

    <name>, I'm glad our paths have crossed. Adelgonn has been telling me about a cavern called Hallowfall. She's told me the people there are called the Arathi. I cannot imagine that they are related to the ancient human kingdom, but it can't be a coincidence.
