Return to Dornogal is a quest for level 80 in Hallowfall, added in The War Within. It is step 6 of 6 in the A Light in the Dark storyline, the final step. It rewards 1,450 experience and money. Completing it counts toward 2 achievements.
The battle is finally over and I suppose it's time we lick our wounds.
Head back to Dornogal, Champion.
I'll be right there as soon as Khadgar is healthy enough to withstand travel.

If you came here from seeing just a single entry on the achievement Allied Races: Earthen, brace yourself. This may look like a single quest but you cannot finish the Allied Race achievement without first doing this: The War Within. This is confusing because I'm 80 and I've completed the "main campaign" quests with also takes you "back to Dornogal" and also ends with talking to Alleria, but apparently that was a "different" war within campaign by a similar name. Who knew.
It is also confusing that the entry on Allied Races: Earthen for "The War Within Campaign" links back to this quest and NOT to the actual war within campaign achievement The War Within. So the war within campaign portion of the Earthen achievement looks just like the other three things, which are actually just three short storylines (broken tools, merrix and steelvein, and mourning rise). But no, the war within campaign line refers to a whole separate achievement.
Before you run off to start your new Earthen alt, stop for a moment and use the "stay awhile and listen." It is one of the first times that I've seen them use mocap or something similar in the game to really try to get the voice actors onto the NPC models rather than just reuse a standard jaw movement 2-3x while the audio plays. Anduin looks hella goofy with his nose and jaw cutting into his clothes at times but I can see progress and hope for how much better the non-video cut scenes could become. Good job team and keep improving inch by inch!
After you complete this quest, there is a nice follow up "Stay a while and listen" with Alleria and Khadgar (sporting his new mode of transport) in Foundation Hall, Dornogal.

Storyline order is the client’s own QuestLine data from the current retail build.
Step 2 of 2. Chain order is read from the prerequisite data in the current retail client build, so it reflects what the game requires, not a curated storyline.
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
Something is very wrong. As the battle continues, each side has become more aggressive. Alleria seems to know something - she ran off at one point during the battle. We've been giving chase, but I cannot leave these soldiers to die. She's just ahead, we can reconvene with her together.
