How do I get back to Draenor starting zone?

To get back to the Draenor starting zone, you can travel through the Dark Portal in the Blasted Lands, which will take you directly to the Tanaan Jungle starting zone scenario, or use the portals to Draenor created by Mages with Portal: Stormshield (Alliance) or Portal: Warspear (Horde), or use the Teleport: Stormshield (Alliance) and Teleport: Warspear (Horde) for personal use. Alternatively, you can pick up the quest The Dark Portal from the Hero’s Call Board in Stormwind or the Warchief’s Command Board in Orgrimmar, which will lead you to Archmage Khadgar and the Assault on the Dark Portal.
