To start the Draenor quests in Alliance, pick up the quest The Dark Portal from the Hero’s Call Board in Stormwind, or travel to the Dark Portal in the Blasted Lands and speak with Archmage Khadgar to initiate the quest, which will lead you to the Tanaan Jungle starting zone scenario. This initial step sets the stage for your journey through the Warlords of Draenor expansion, where you will explore the vast lands of Draenor, build your Garrison, and engage in epic battles against the Iron Horde.

Understanding the Journey to Draenor

The path to Draenor for Alliance players begins in Stormwind, where you can access the Hero’s Call Board to find the initial quest that sets your journey in motion. Alternatively, heading directly to the Blasted Lands and interacting with Archmage Khadgar near the Dark Portal can also initiate your questline, especially if the board does not display the quest.

Navigating Through the Questline

As you progress through the Warlords of Draenor questline, you will encounter various characters, zones, and challenges that are crucial to the storyline. Your Garrison plays a central role in this expansion, serving not only as a base of operations but also as a means to recruit followers, engage in missions, and gather resources. Understanding how to navigate and optimize your Garrison is key to advancing through the content efficiently.
