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 several story quests crucial to setting the stage for Patch 11.1, focusing on the Goblin capital, Undermine. A separate questline concludes the tragic destruction of Dalaran.

Updated January 7, 2025: The recent campaign quests mark a significant turning point. Dalaran's long history in Warcraft may never fully recover from the events of The War Within. The Dalaran Epilogue provides closure to this storyline and a fitting farewell to a once-important social hub.

Spoiler Warning: Details below may reveal plot points.

How to Begin the Patch 11.1 Prologue ("Lingering Shadows" Campaign)

Unlike the Dalaran Epilogue, the "Lingering Shadows" campaign is immediately accessible. Completion of the leveling or Level 80 campaigns isn't required. However, completing prior storylines is recommended to avoid spoilers and enhance understanding. The 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 for additional context relevant to future updates.

How to Begin the Dalaran Epilogue in World of Warcraft: The War Within

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 (achieved by reaching Renown Four with all four Khaz'algar factions).

Check Foundation Hall (where Patch 11.1 prologue quests begin). Khadgar's presence indicates readiness to receive the quest (post-January 7th). His absence signifies 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 magical 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.
