TheWoWDBAs for now on 22/04/2026, interacting with the stone just put me on a limbo state that I cannot proceed to the quest. Though if you are just after the chronicler objective, you can go into the cave and get them.

I had this bug, but I didn't abandon the quest. I logged out of the affected character completely and logged back in, at which point the quest was marked as complete and ready for turn-in.
had the same issue, abandoned the quest and picked it up again, and now it works

Description
The Root of the World stands as it did before--ancient, unbowed--yet the soil breathes differently today. Beneath your feet, the pulse of Harandar quickens, as though eager to share another verse of its oldest story. You have seen through Ruilla the Huntress's eyes once before. But the Rootways are never walked the same way twice. Go again, and let the land decide which truths it will show you now.
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.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Story of Russula's Outreach
The spear still waits where you last left it, pale threads of mushroom slowly weaving new patterns into its grain. The culling grounds draw you again. Walk their softened paths, follow what spores still rise, and let the visions show what time has chosen to reveal this season.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Story of Sky's Hope
Sky's Hope rests in its cradle as before, yet the heavens above seem sharper tonight. You have traced Awe'ohna's path once, but the tale shifts with every telling. Walk the path again, and perhaps the sky will tilt just so, revealing a truth you missed before.
