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 setting the stage 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 available upon patch launch.
Updated January 7, 2025, by Paul Woodward: The recent campaign quests feel like a definitive ending. Dalaran, a long-standing location in Warcraft lore, may never recover from the events of The War Within. The Dalaran Epilogue questline provides closure and a fitting farewell to this 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 accessible. Completion of the leveling or Level 80 campaign isn't required. However, catching up on the story beforehand is recommended to avoid spoilers and enhance understanding. The "Lingering Shadows" campaign comprises 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 plot developments within The War Within or other 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 completing both the leveling campaign and the Level 80 campaign (requiring Renown Four with all four Khaz Algar factions).
If unsure about your progress, visit Foundation Hall (the prologue quest starting point for Patch 11.1). If Khadgar is present (on or after January 7th), you can receive a quest from him. His absence indicates unfinished campaign quests. The Dalaran Epilogue quest list is detailed 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
