World of Warcraft: The War Within - Patch 11.1 Prologue and Dalaran Epilogue Guide
The narrative of World of Warcraft: The War Within continues to unfold. 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 crucial story quests setting the stage for Patch 11.1, focusing on the Goblin capital, Undermine. A separate questline concludes the tragic destruction of Dalaran.
Updated January 7, 2025: The recent campaign quests feel like a definitive ending. Dalaran's fate, after years in Warcraft lore, is sealed by The War Within's events. The Dalaran Epilogue provides closure and a farewell to this significant social hub from Wrath of the Lich King and Legion.
Spoilers Ahead!
