With the first playable The War Within Alpha build, the questline for the first zone, Isle of Dorn, is playable. We completed the questline to bring you all the details!
WARNING: The War Within Story Spoilers in this post!
Chapter 1 — Breaking Point
Chapter 1 of the Isle of Dorn starts after the Dalaran scenario. We don't know what happens in the Dalaran scenario, but we arrive rather violently at the Isle of Dorn with a Dalaran crashed (and from the looks of it, competely destroyed).
After reconvening with Jaina and Thrall, our first mission is to help survivors and kill Nerubians, who seem to be the ones responsible for the attack that led to Dalaran's fall. We aid several familiar faces:
- Ritssyn Flamescowl;
- Aethas Sunreaver;
- Meryl Felstorm.
- Marin Noggenfogger;
- Moira Thaurissan and her son, Dagran Thaurissan II;
- Brann Bronzebeard;
Once we find most of the survivors, we locate Magni, who's fighting off against the nerubian leader, Queensguard Zirix. As we damage the massive nerubian, a cutscene plays out.
* Note: Cutscenes are currently not available to view on The War Within Alpha, but there are descriptions on what happens on each, which is what I will be using for this post.
Queensguard Zirix begins to call another swarm to the beach.Magni and his allies brace themselves for one final stand.Suddenly, Baelgrim and the stormriders appear and attack Zirix. Zirix and the nerubians burrow away, retreating.Baelgrim is astonished to see Magni, and begins to interrogate him about his presence here.There is a massive explosion in the distance towards Dornogal, their city.
As the cutscene ends, we're approached by a fleet of earthen stormriders led by Baelgrim the Stormward. We're asked to follow them to their capital, Dornogal. We find out there that the nerubians have also attacked Dornogal, and they are ancient enemies of the earthen. We're asked to ride a storm gryphon and use its abilities to defeat the nerubians infesting the city.
After helping clear the Coreway, the area connecting Dornogal to the underground, we are asked to stay out of the way of the Earthen while they assess what to do, and reconvene with our allies — Jaina, Thrall, Anduin and Alleria. They assess on the origin of the nerubians and how they might be related to Xal'atath, who is seemingly responsible for Dalaran's crash. After a brief dialogue, another cutscene plays, who implies we have lost more than just Dalaran...
Anduin: We brought the nerubians here...
Jaina: No. The nerubians were focused on the Coreway. The attack was another part of Xal'atath's schemes.
