Dalaran's Epilogue, Undermine's Prologue Unveiled in WoW: Shadowlands

World of Warcraft: The War Within – Patch 11.1 Prologue and Dalaran Epilogue Guide

World of Warcraft: The War Within's narrative continues beyond the Siren Isle update. Season 2, anticipated for late 2025, promises new endgame content and the expansion's next chapter. However, Patch 11.0.7 introduces key story quests setting the stage for Patch 11.1, focusing on the Goblin capital, Undermine. A separate questline concludes the tragic story of Dalaran's destruction, though its availability was initially delayed.

Updated January 7, 2025: The recent campaign quests mark a significant turning point. Dalaran, a long-standing location in Warcraft lore, may never recover from the events of The War Within. The Dalaran Epilogue questline provides closure and a fitting farewell to this crucial social hub in Wrath of the Lich King and Legion.

Spoiler warning: Details below may reveal plot points.

Starting the Patch 11.1 Prologue: Lingering Shadows

Unlike the Dalaran Epilogue, the "Lingering Shadows" campaign begins immediately. Completion of the leveling or Level 80 campaigns isn't required, but recommended for context. 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 to Orweyna for additional information relevant to future War Within updates or other World Soul Saga expansions.

Starting the Dalaran Epilogue

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 begin the Epilogue (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 magic 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.
