I'm in Stormwind and the quest says to take the portal to Dornogal. Well I'm standing on what the minimap shows to be the portal location but it's not there and it appears to be underground. Anyone know of a fix for this?

Later: Ok, I found it. There's a portal on the upper floor of the Wizards Sanctum.

Some good comments already, just bringing them together in the one comment :

After accepting this quest, proceed to the rooftop ( not via the stairs, as that way is blocked ). The correct way to access the terrace is by using the [object=441897] https://www.wowhead.com/object=441897/earthen-teleporteras per comment from Rapscallion001. This Teleporter is next to the Stormwind Portal down the small stairs from the quest giver ( on the left looking down the stairs).

Once on the ledge you will see a quick exchange between the two NPC's and they will proceed to fly off in the direction of Adelgonn. There is no indication at this point as to what to do.. so taking JDLKY's advice, mount up on a Dragon-Style Flying mount and off the ledge you go, but to add to that comment, if you so feel inclined ( and its what I did ) ... Have Faith !.. .I launched myself off the ledge with an old style flying mount ( Sandstone Drake ) and although it didn't "fly", as I expected it too it was gracious enough to glide a considerable distance in the air , almost to the required Adelgonn location..

Face your fear !... it requires a leap of faith..

but for those that are lacking faith, just use "jump" and it will 'regardless of old or new' flying mount use [order-advancement=2093] Vigor https://www.wowhead.com/order-advancement=2093/vigor to cast
Skyward Ascent [spell=372610]https://www.wowhead.com/spell=372610/skyward-ascent giving you a boost in the air ( point dirtecly up to maximise distance "gliding" )

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • State of the UnionIsle of Dorn · Level 70-73

    I hate to admit it, but we have been caught unprepared by the nerubians. Our processes focused on sustaining Dornogal and our declining population. Stormward Baelgrim's stalwart pride has kept him and the Stormriders capable fighters, but they are already stretched thin, and they are not builders.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Delve into the EarthIsle of Dorn · Level 70-73

    The nerubian attack, your meteoric fall... And now Baelgrim is here? Baelgrim needs more hands for his Coreway, but I couldn't help even if I wanted to. My people are dying as we speak. Some were abducted by the nerubians during the attack. You're not the first outlander I've met.
