World of Warcraft Dragonflight takes you to the Dragon Isles for the first time—and, of course, there’s a new capital city to visit.
To get there, you must follow a line of quests that begin at your faction’s capital city: Stormwind for Alliance and Orgrimmar for Horde. The quest that takes you to the new zone is called The Dragon Isles Await.
Opening your map and quest log is the best way to follow your progress toward that quest chain. In the top right corner of that page, you’ll see info on the Dragonscale Expedition campaign.
On the Horde side, you pick up The Dragon Isles Await from an NPC named Naleidea Rivergleam. The Alliance gets their quest from Toddy Whiskers. The quests see you taking a zeppelin or boat, respectively, that brings you to The Waking Shores.
This zone is in the northwestern portion of the Dragon Isles, and while it’s where you begin your journey, it’s not where the capital city of the new expansion lies.
