The narrative of World of Warcraft: The War Within continues to unfold. 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 laying the groundwork for Patch 11.1, centered around the Goblin capital, Undermine. A separate questline concludes the tragic destruction of Dalaran, though this won't be immediately accessible upon patch launch.
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 fully recover from the events of The War Within. The Dalaran Epilogue questline provides a fitting conclusion to this storyline and a proper farewell to a once-important 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 available. Completion of the leveling or Level 80 campaigns isn't required. For a complete understanding and to avoid spoilers, it's recommended to catch up on the story beforehand. The "Lingering Shadows" campaign encompasses these quests:
- 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 potential future developments within The War Within or subsequent World Soul Saga expansions.
Unlocking the Dalaran Epilogue in World of Warcraft: The War Within
Initially, a three-week delay was implemented for the Dalaran Epilogue. As of January 7th, this restriction has been lifted. However, accessing 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 detailed below.
