The War Within (Alliance)

The War Within is an Alliance-only quest for level 70 in Silithus: The Wound. It is step 2 of 16 in the Visions of Azeroth storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Silithus at 41.9, 45.1. It rewards 1,200 experience and money.

Description

People are experiencing visions of a "Radiant Song" all across Azeroth. We have reason to believe it's a warning of some kind.

Meet me in Silithus. Perhaps Azeroth's Speaker can shed some light on what this warning might mean.

You can skip the intro quest and skip the Harbringer quest on Alts if you completed them once on your main.

1. Open your Adventure Guide (default bound to Shift + J).
2. Click the tab for Suggested Content
3. Click "Accept Quest" for The War Within. (Might have to use left/right arrows if the quest is not the first one.)
3. Use the Teleporation Scroll. (If you don't see Jaina, follow the other tip in the comments about Zidormi.)
4. Turn in the Quest.
5. Accept the next Quest Jaina offers.
5. Click the "I have heard this tale before" to Skip the Dalaran Introduction and travel to Dornogal.
6. It will teleport you to Dornogal.

I tested this on multiple newly 70 Timewalking characters that had not done a single other quest.

Right now Jaina is disappearing upon arrival in the area for a lot of people, due to some sort of phasing issue. The thing that solved this for me was going to Zidormi, having her send me to the past Silithus, then return to the present Silithus, then use the teleport scroll to go back to Jaina's location and she stuck around this time long enough to interact with. If you don't have the teleport scroll you should be able to pick The War Within back up from the adventurer's journal and that'll give you the scroll back.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Poor ReceptionSilithus: The Wound · Level 70

    There's strong evidence that the Radiant Song is a warning from Azeroth herself. A cry for help. That's why we're here. If this vision truly is Azeroth's message, Magni will know what she's trying to tell us. He should be in the Chamber of the Heart. Let's go.
