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 features several 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, but its availability is delayed post-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 begins immediately. Completion of the leveling or Level 80 campaigns isn't required. For optimal understanding, complete prior storylines to avoid spoilers and gain context. The Lingering Shadows campaign includes:
After "Found Friends," speak with Orweyna. Her quest, though not part of the main campaign, offers insights into future plot developments within The War Within or subsequent World Soul Saga expansions.
Initially, a three-week delay was implemented for the Dalaran Epilogue. As of January 7th, this restriction has been lifted. However, unlocking this campaign requires completion of both The War Within's leveling campaign and the Level 80 campaign (unlocked by achieving at least Renown Four with all four Khaz'algar factions).
To verify completion, visit Foundation Hall (the prologue quest starting point for Patch 11.1). If Khadgar is present (post-January 7th), you can receive a quest from him. His absence indicates unfinished campaign quests. The Dalaran Epilogue quest list is below.
Completing this campaign awards the Fate of the Kirin Tor achievement and the "Witness of the Kirin Tor" title.
