The War Within is the 10th expansion for World of Warcraft, and it brings the story to a new continent, Khaz Algar. To reach this new land, you will need to own The War Within expansion, which is a separate purchase from the base game.
Before heading to Khaz Algar for the first time, you’ll want to start the story campaign for The War Within. This guide will begin with the introductory quests for the continent. You can skip ahead to the last section, “Portals to Khaz Algar,” if you just want to get there as quickly as possible.
Getting to Khaz Algar in The War Within Beta
Currently in the Beta, you must speak with the temporary NPC Questzertauren in Stormwind or Orgrimmar, and he will teleport you to the Isle of Dorn. This will skip over the introductory quests listed below, which are not available in the Beta.

At this point you will be in Khaz Algar! You can continue the main story campaign, which will soon take you to the city of Dornogal, or you can fly there or to one of the other zones.
How to Get to Dornogal
Getting to Dornogal, the capital city of Khaz Algar, is as simple as flying there once you arrive on the Isle of Dorn. You can also get a Mage to create a portal for you.
How to Get to The Ringing Deeps, Hallowfall, and Azj-Kahet
You’ll land on the Isle of Dorn when you first arrive in Khaz Algar, and the other three zones of this land are buried deep beneath the first. To access them, you’ll need to pass through The Coreway inside the city of Dornogal. Just look for the big hole in the ground in the southwest area of the city and fly all the way down.
The Coreway exits into The Ringing Deeps. Very close to the gate from The Coreway you’ll find another gate that leads to Hallowfall (it will be marked on your map). Azj-Kahet can be reached by flying there from either The Ringing Deeps or Hallowfall.
There is also an elevator to the Ringing Deeps from the Isle of Dorn that can be unlocked by completing quests in the zone. To unlock the elevator, speak with the Oathsworn Earthen at The Orecreg (37.6, 72.7) and complete his quest Passage to the Ringing Deeps. You’ll then be able to use the elevator behind him, which will transport you to Opportunity Point at the south end of The Ringing Deeps, very close to where you can enter Azj-Kahet.
Portals to Khaz Algar
There are a few different ways to get back and forth to Khaz Algar.
Mages can create a portal for their party members with Portal: Dornogal.
For personal use, they also have Teleport: Dornogal.
There is a portal to Dornogal in the Stormwind Portal Room. You’ll find it by going up the stairs in the middle of the main room.
There is a portal to Dornogal in the Orgrimmar Portal Room. Instead of entering the main portal room, head down the stairs to the left to find it in the lower room.
