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 includes 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 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 not 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.
Unlike the Dalaran Epilogue, the Lingering Shadows campaign is immediately accessible. Completion of the leveling or Level 80 campaigns isn't required. For optimal context, complete prior storylines to avoid spoilers. The Lingering Shadows campaign comprises:
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.
Initially, this questline had a three-week delay. As of January 7th, this restriction is lifted. However, completing both The War Within leveling campaign and the Level 80 campaign (requiring Renown Four with all four Khaz Algar factions) is necessary.
If unsure about your progress, check Foundation Hall (the prologue quest area for Patch 11.1). Khadgar's presence (after January 7th) indicates readiness. His absence signifies unfinished campaign quests. The Dalaran Epilogue quest list follows:
Completing this unlocks the Fate of the Kirin Tor achievement and the "Witness of the Kirin Tor" title.
