I know this is a terribly noob question. I started SL in the last couple of days, after doing much of the BfA content. I went through many (?) of the starter quests and am in Bastion ATM. I'm trying to figure out how to get back, ultimately to Orgrimmar. Do I have to finish ALL of the introductory quests? I have three flight paths, but, not all of them. Please point me to a guide if possible.

Can we talk about how useless the outside ring is in Oribos :)
For anyone who is new to the game or on an alt that didn't exist during Shadowlands, if you simply go to Oribos using a portal in Orgrimmar's or Stormwind's portal rooms, you won't see the early quests in Oribos, and you won't see or be able to use the flightmaster/portals. You have to go back to your capital city and pick up the starter quest there.
