World of Warcraft: The War Within – Patch 11.1 Prologue and Dalaran Epilogue Guide
The narrative of World of Warcraft: The War Within continues! Beyond the Siren Isle update and the anticipated Season 2 launch in late 2025 (introducing new endgame content and the next expansion chapter), Patch 11.0.7 offers crucial story quests. These quests lay the groundwork for Patch 11.1, focusing on the Goblin capital, Undermine, and conclude the tragic tale of Dalaran's destruction. Note that the Dalaran Epilogue wasn't immediately available upon patch launch.
Updated January 7, 2025: The recent campaign quests feel like the end of an era. Dalaran's long history in Warcraft reaches a pivotal point in The War Within, and its recovery remains uncertain. The Dalaran Epilogue questline provides a fitting conclusion to this chapter, offering closure for a significant social hub in Wrath of the Lich King and Legion.
Spoiler Warning: Details below may reveal plot points.
Accessing 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 campaign isn't required, though prior completion is recommended for context and to avoid spoilers. The questline 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 main campaign, offers insights into potential future developments within The War Within or subsequent World Soul Saga expansions.
Unlocking 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). To begin, you must have completed 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 start). Khadgar's presence indicates eligibility. If absent, further campaign quests remain. The Dalaran Epilogue quest list:

- Survivor's Guilt
- The Hardest Part

- A Helping Hand
- Arcane Cold War
