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. Season 2, anticipated later in 2025, promises fresh endgame content and the next chapter of this expansion. However, Patch 11.0.7 introduces crucial story quests laying the groundwork for Patch 11.1, focusing on the Goblin capital, Undermine. A separate questline concludes the tragic saga of Dalaran's destruction, though its availability was initially delayed.
Updated January 7, 2025: The recent campaign quests mark a significant turning point. Dalaran's long history in Warcraft reaches a poignant conclusion in "The War Within." The Dalaran Epilogue provides a fitting farewell to this iconic location, central to Wrath of the Lich King and Legion.
Spoilers Ahead!
Accessing the Patch 11.1 Prologue ("Lingering Shadows")
Unlike the Dalaran Epilogue, the "Lingering Shadows" campaign is immediately accessible. Completion of the leveling or level 80 campaigns isn't required, but recommended for full context. This campaign comprises:
- 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 to Orweyna for additional information relevant to future updates.
Unlocking the Dalaran Epilogue
Initially gated for three weeks, the Dalaran Epilogue is now available (as of January 7th). However, you must complete both the leveling and level 80 campaigns for "The War Within." The level 80 campaign unlocks upon reaching Renown Four with all four Khaz Algar factions.
Check Foundation Hall (Patch 11.1 prologue location). Khadgar's presence indicates readiness. If absent, further campaign quests are needed. The Dalaran Epilogue includes:
