• Starting the Patch 11.1 Prologue
• Initiating the Dalaran Epilogue

The World of Warcraft: The War Within narrative continues to unfold. Following the Siren Isle update, players can anticipate Season 2 launching later in 2025 with fresh endgame content and the expansion's next chapter. Meanwhile, Patch 11.0.7 introduces new story quests setting the stage for Patch 11.1's Undermine storyline. A special quest chain also provides closure to Dalaran's tragic fate, though this content won't be immediately accessible at launch.

Updated January 7, 2025 by Paul Woodward: The latest campaign quests mark the end of an era. Having been a cornerstone of Warcraft lore since Wrath of the Lich King, Dalaran's magical floating city may never recover from recent events. The Dalaran Epilogue delivers a poignant conclusion to this longstanding story.

Warning: Story spoilers ahead.

How to Start the Patch 11.1 Prologue

Unlike the time-gated Dalaran content, the Lingering Shadows campaign is available immediately. While you can start without completing previous campaigns, finishing both the leveling and Level 80 storylines is recommended for full context. The sequence includes these quests:

• 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 completing Found Friends, speak with Orweyna for bonus lore that foreshadows future expansion content.

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

The Dalaran Epilogue's three-week time restriction expired on January 7th. To access these quests, you must complete both the leveling campaign and reach Renown Four with all Khaz Algar factions during the Level 80 campaign.

Quick check: Visit Foundation Hall. If Khadgar is present after January 7th, you meet the requirements. His absence means you need to progress further in earlier content.
