The narrative of World of Warcraft: The War Within continues. Beyond the Siren Isle update, Season 2 is anticipated in late 2025, introducing fresh endgame content and the next chapter of this expansion. However, Patch 11.0.7 introduces several new story quests setting the stage for Patch 11.1, centered around the Goblin capital, Undermine. A separate questline concludes the tragic destruction of Dalaran, though it wasn't immediately available at the patch's launch.
Updated January 7, 2025, by Paul Woodward: The recent campaign quests mark a significant turning point. Dalaran, a longstanding fixture in Warcraft lore, may never fully recover from the events of The War Within. The Dalaran Epilogue questline provides closure to this storyline and a fitting farewell to a crucial social hub in Wrath of the Lich King and Legion.
Spoilers ahead, read with caution.
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 campaign isn't required. For optimal understanding, newcomers should complete prior storylines to avoid spoilers and gain context. The "Lingering Shadows" campaign comprises:
- 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. Her quest, while not part of the main campaign, 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, this questline had a three-week delay. As of January 7th, this restriction is lifted. However, unlocking this campaign necessitates completion of both The War Within's leveling campaign and the Level 80 campaign (requiring Renown Four with all four Khaz'algar factions).
If your progress is unclear, visit Foundation Hall (the prologue quest starting point for Patch 11.1). Khadgar's presence (after January 7th) indicates readiness for his quest. His absence signals unfinished campaign quests. The Dalaran Epilogue quest list follows:
Dalaran Epilogue Quest List
- Survivor's Guilt
- The Hardest Part
