Bugged “Return to Lordaeron” Quest – NPCs Turn Hostile and Quest Progress Stuck

Community General Discussion

I’m having an issue with the Return to Lordaeron questline. After completing the Desolate Council part, Dark Ranger Velonara suddenly turned hostile and attacked me. After I died and revived, I returned to the quest area only to find that all the NPCs had turned red and continued to attack me.

I’ve tried switching timelines using Zidormi, but that didn’t resolve the issue. In the present timeline, I can see a yellow exclamation mark at the Undercity on the map, but when I click on it, I get redirected to Stormwind and told to leave the Wizard’s Sanctum.

I’m stuck and unsure how to proceed. Has anyone encountered this bug or know a workaround? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

It’s been so long since I’ve played that part of the game, I can’t really recall it and I don’t recall ever hearing about this particular bug, either.

Anyway, here’s to hoping someone who knows something will respond. GL, OP.

I encountered this issue a couple years ago on an alt I had race changed at some point. So I assumed it had something to do with that. Had to give up and ignore the questline. Glad to hear blizz never bothered to fix it even after reporting it to them years ago.
