World of Warcraft: The War Within - Patch 11.1 Prologue and Dalaran Epilogue Guide
The narrative of World of Warcraft: The War Within continues to unfold. Beyond the Siren Isle update, Season 2 (anticipated later in 2025) promises new endgame content and the next chapter of this expansion. However, Patch 11.0.7 introduces crucial 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 this wasn't immediately available at launch.
Updated January 7, 2025: 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 a fitting conclusion to this chapter, offering a proper farewell to a once-important social hub in Wrath of the Lich King and Legion.
Spoilers ahead!
Starting the Patch 11.1 Prologue: Lingering Shadows
Unlike the Dalaran Epilogue, the "Lingering Shadows" campaign begins immediately. Completion of the leveling or Level 80 campaign isn't required, but recommended for context. This 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 to Orweyna for additional information on plot points relevant to future War Within updates or other World Soul Saga expansions.
Starting the Dalaran Epilogue
Initially gated for three weeks, the Dalaran Epilogue is now accessible (as of January 7th). Unlocking requires completion of both The War Within's leveling campaign and the Level 80 campaign (requiring Renown Four with all four Khaz Algar factions).
Check Foundation Hall (where Patch 11.1 prologue quests begin). If Khadgar is present post-January 7th, you can receive his quest. His absence indicates unfinished campaign quests.
Dalaran Epilogue Quest List:
- Survivor's Guilt
- The Hardest Part
- Arcane Wasteland
- Lessons in Defensive Magic
- Feeling Blue
- Magic-Stealing Kobolds
- Trinkets, Curios, and Other Powerful Objects
- Mysterious Necklace (near Kalecgos; look for a Kobold in a magic field)
- Maybe You Shouldn't Touch That
- Trapped Between Life and Death
- Somehow We Survived
- A Helping Hand
- Arcane Cold War
- Critical Mass
- Preserve the Legacy
- Too Powerful, Too Dangerous
- Farewell, City of Magic
Completing this unlocks the "Fate of the Kirin Tor" achievement and the "Witness of the Kirin Tor" title.
