If anyone is blocked in TWW from entering the ShadowLands expansions via the intro questline, I have the solution.
If you are +lev70, the problem is MOST LIKELY the TWW intro quest that asks you to Portal to Silithus, do this quest -> skip -> get ported to Dorn = Success.

As of 11/11/24, Blizzard states the issue regarding being unable to begin the Shadowlands campaign if you skip the Maw is a known issue and will be fixed in the 11.0.7 patch.
If you have issues with this quest to just get an alt to Shadowlands and can't get the flightmaster in Oribos, just go to Dornogal. In Dornogal just north of the bank is the Portal to the Timeways. It's marked on the map but it's in a building guarded by Temporal Guardians and you can see it through the doorway. After clicking the portal you'll see more portals. I needed to get to Ardenweald for the Secrets of Azeroth 20th Anniversary stuff so that is the first portal down the stairs to the left. Hope this helps anyone in a search.

After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Through the Shattered Sky
When Sylvanas shattered the Helm of Domination, she was touched by the power it released. I can sense the echoes of that power, and I know where she has gone. If you wish to rescue your leaders, the shattered helm can open a path. It cannot bring you back, however. That you must do on your own.
