The War Within Max Level Campaign Chapters 1 and 2 Playthrough (Story Spoilers)

04.06.2024 - 03:21 / wowhead.com

We have played through Chapters 1 and 2 of the max-level campaign in The War Within Alpha, and bring you all the details!

Chapter 1: Against the Current

The War Within campaign continues at the Weaver's Lair in Azj-Kahet, where Anduin and Alleria are stationed after fleeing the City of Threads in the Azj-Kahet storyline. They request us to return to the surface in Dornogal to meet with Moira Thaurissan and report our findings on Xal'atath and the nerubian empire.

Moira requests us to use a telescope to see if the Alliance and Horde fleets that Jaina and Thrall went to secure all the way back in the Isle of Dorn storyline are here. As we interact with the Telescope, a cutscene plays, giving us the good news we were waiting for.

As the cutscene ends, the armada is teleported to Dornogal by Jaina. In addition to Jaina and Thrall, they're joined by Overlord Geya'rah, Gorgonna, Danath Trollbane, Kurdran Wildhammer and Turalyon.

We're then invited by Councilward Merrix to set up an embassy for our faction in Dornogal. There are separate Horde and Alliance embassies overlooking the Coreway, but as of this Alpha build, you can enter both no matter your faction!

After our embassy is setup, we're tasked to check in with Dagran Thaurissan II and Speaker Brinthe at the Archive in Dornogal. For those who don't remember, the Archive is where the memories of all Earthen are stored once they become deactivated and wait for recharging.

We learn here that Magni's actions in the Ringing Deeps echoed even in Dornogal, with the machines in the Earthen capital functional once more! We're asked to go through a teleport to the Vault of Memory to help Speaker Brinthe sort through the archives, but the location is… let's just say, all too familiar to anyone who played Battle for Azeroth.

In the Vault of Memory, we help Brinthe and Dagran reinitialize the mainframe of the Archive machines, but learn that the information contained within is fragmented, and may take a long time to sort through all of it. With Brinthe and Dagran's work cut out for them, we return to Moira in Dornogal to report our findings.

In the next quest, we're asked to look for pledges to help in the fight against Xal'atath and the nerubians, but this is really just a tutorial to show you where the delve vendors and the item upgrade NPCs are. This intro quest finishes Chapter 1 of the max-level War Within campaign.

Chapter 2: Ties that Bind

Chapter 2 starts with Alleria in Dornogal, asking you to check out on
