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 :)

King Anduin Wrynn, Alleria, and the champions travel deeper into Azeroth, arriving at a place known as Hallowfall. It quickly becomes apparent that this place has also been touched by the machinations of Xal'atath.

Where to go

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.

  • The Hallowed PathHallowfall · Level 75-78

    <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.
