The journey might seem daunting at first, but with a clear understanding of the required steps, you’ll be traversing the new lands in no time. This article breaks down the process into simple instructions, ensuring both new and returning players can easily find their way.
The direct answer is: To get to the Broken Isles from Orgrimmar, you must first use the portal to Azsuna located in the Orgrimmar Portal Room, also known as Pathfinder’s Den. Once in Azsuna, fly eastward to Dalaran, which is a floating city. Then, you need to start the questline, which will eventually lead you to the Broken Shore and the rest of the Broken Isles.
Let’s dive into the step-by-step process, and then address common questions.
Step-by-Step Guide to the Broken Isles
Finding the Portal Room
First, locate the Orgrimmar Portal Room, also referred to as Pathfinder’s Den. It’s situated inside the main gate of Orgrimmar. Once you pass through the gate, look for a doorway on your left. This portal room is your gateway to various locations, including the Broken Isles.
Taking the Azsuna Portal
Inside the portal room, find the portal labeled “Azsuna”. Click this portal, and you will be instantly transported to Azsuna, a zone within the Broken Isles.
Flying to Dalaran
Once in Azsuna, open your map. You’ll notice the city of Dalaran floating to the east of your current location. Use a flying mount to fly directly toward Dalaran.
Starting the Broken Shore Questline
Once you arrive in Dalaran, you need to start the Legion introduction questline. To do this, you need to pick up the quest “Uniting the Isles.” This quest is usually given by Khadgar in Dalaran. If not, you may need to check the hero’s call board for a quest to initiate the event. Once you pick this up, you will go through a series of short quests.
Reaching the Broken Shore
Once “Uniting the Isles” is complete, Khadgar will give you the quest “Armies of Legionfall”. Turn this quest in to him again, and this will teleport you to the Broken Shore. The Broken Shore serves as the starting area for the Legion content.
Unlocking the Broken Isles
Now you are ready to begin the questing and content for the Broken Isles. From here, you will be able to progress through your class hall and obtain your artifact weapon.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Here are some common questions and answers that may arise during your journey to the Broken Isles:
1. Where is the Portal to Dalaran in Orgrimmar?
The portal to Dalaran itself is not directly in Orgrimmar. You take the portal to Azsuna from the Orgrimmar Portal Room and fly to Dalaran from there.
2. Why can’t I use the portals in Orgrimmar?
If the portals are missing from the Orgrimmar Portal Room, you likely haven’t completed the Legion introductory questline. Make sure to start and complete the quest “The Legion Returns” to unlock the portals.
3. How do I start the Broken Isles questline as Horde?
After entering Dalaran, find and accept the quest “Uniting the Isles”. Completing this questline will lead you to the Broken Shore and open up the Broken Isles.
4. How do I get to Old Dalaran from Orgrimmar?
You cannot directly portal to old Dalaran from Orgrimmar. The Dalaran portal in the portal room leads you to Legion Dalaran in Broken Isles. Old Dalaran is located in Northrend. To reach old Dalaran, you would need to take the boat from Orgrimmar to Borean Tundra in Northrend and fly from there.
5. How do I unlock World Quests in the Broken Isles?
To unlock World Quests, you must reach level 45 (or the appropriate level cap of the expansion when it was released) and complete the quest “Uniting the Isles.” You will also need to have at least Friendly standing with the Broken Isles factions.
6. Where is the Broken Isles Located?
The Broken Isles are located northeast of the Maelstrom, south of Borean Tundra (Northrend), and west of the northern part of the Eastern Kingdoms.
7. How do I get to Draenor from Orgrimmar?
You can begin the questline for Draenor by picking up “The Dark Portal” from the Warchief’s Command Board in Orgrimmar. Alternatively, you can travel directly to the Dark Portal in the Blasted Lands and speak with Khadgar.
8. How do I complete “Defending Broken Isles”?
The quest “Defending Broken Isles” is completed by finishing the questline associated with a zone experiencing a Legion Assault. This includes completing the scenario quest that usually follows the naming scheme “Battle for (Zone name)”, e.g., “Battle for Azsuna”.
9. Can I get to Dalaran before level 74?
You can technically get to Dalaran before level 74 if a mage or warlock summons you there, but without the portal it is difficult to reach. Additionally, mages can’t get the teleport spell for Dalaran until level 74.

The Broken Shore scenario begins after completing the initial quests in Dalaran, particularly the quest “Uniting the Isles”. The quest “Armies of Legionfall”, will teleport you to the Broken Shore.

The Orgrimmar Skyway is the area with the zeppelin towers and the flight master located just outside of the main gates of Orgrimmar.
14. Why can’t I see anyone outside Orgrimmar?
If you cannot see other players outside Orgrimmar, it’s likely due to phasing. Make sure you have completed the Legion introduction quest “The Legion Returns”.
