The narrative of World of Warcraft: The War Within continues. Beyond the Siren Isle update, Season 2 is slated for a 2025 launch, introducing fresh endgame content and the next chapter of this expansion. However, Patch 11.0.7 features new story quests laying the groundwork for Patch 11.1, centered around the Goblin capital, Undermine. A separate questline concludes the tragic story of Dalaran's destruction, though it wasn't immediately available upon the patch's release.
Updated January 7, 2025, by Paul Woodward: The recent campaign quests mark a significant turning point. Dalaran, a long-standing location in Warcraft lore, may never recover from the events of The War Within. The Dalaran Epilogue questline provides closure to this storyline, offering a fitting farewell to a once-crucial social hub in Wrath of the Lich King and Legion.
Spoilers ahead, reader discretion advised.
How to Begin the Patch 11.1 Prologue
Unlike the Dalaran Epilogue, the "Lingering Shadows" campaign is immediately accessible. Completion of the leveling or Level 80 campaigns isn't required. For optimal understanding, completing prior story content is recommended to avoid spoilers and gain context. The "Lingering Shadows" campaign includes:
- Lingering Shadows
- Price of a Mission
- Standing in the Way
- No Breathing Room
- Together, Alone
- The Voice
- Ringing in the Deeps
- Good Help These Days
- Hey, What's Going On?
- Haywired and Hostile
- Built to Blast
- Bat Versus World
- Found Friends
After "Found Friends," speak with Orweyna. While not part of the main campaign, her quest offers insights into future plot developments within The War Within or subsequent World Soul Saga expansions.
Initiating the Dalaran Epilogue in World of Warcraft: The War Within
Initially, a three-week delay was in place for the Dalaran Epilogue. As of January 7th, this restriction has been lifted. However, unlocking this campaign requires completion of both The War Within's leveling campaign and the Level 80 campaign (unlocked by reaching Renown Four with all four Khaz'algar factions).
To verify completion, visit Foundation Hall, the starting point for Patch 11.1 prologue quests. If Khadgar is present (on or after January 7th), a quest will be available. His absence indicates unfinished campaign quests. The Dalaran Epilogue quest list is below.
