The narrative of World of Warcraft: The War Within continues. Beyond the Siren Isle update, Season 2 is anticipated in late 2025, introducing new endgame content and the next chapter of this expansion. However, Patch 11.0.7 includes several new story quests paving the way for Patch 11.1, focusing on the Goblin capital, Undermine. A separate questline concludes the tragic destruction of Dalaran, but this won't be immediately accessible upon patch launch.
Updated January 7, 2025, by Paul Woodward: The recent campaign quests feel like a definitive ending. Dalaran, a Warcraft staple for years, may not recover from The War Within's events. The Dalaran Epilogue questline provides closure, bidding farewell to a significant 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 starts immediately. Completion of the leveling or Level 80 campaign isn't required. For optimal context and spoiler avoidance, complete prior story quests first. 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. Her quest, while not part of the campaign, offers insights into future plot points for 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 requires completing The War Within's leveling campaign and the Level 80 campaign (unlocked by reaching Renown Four with all four Khaz Algar factions).
If unsure, check Foundation Hall (where Patch 11.1 prologue quests begin). If Khadgar is present (after January 7th), a quest will be available. His absence indicates unfinished campaign quests. The Dalaran Epilogue quest list is below.
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

- 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
