Here are detailed steps for Horde to opening Dragonmaw Port in the Twilight Highlands, and unlocking the portal to Orgrimmar.
Level to 84.
Get Warchief's Command: Twilight Highlands! from the Warchief's Command Board, and talk to Garrosh Hellscream in Orgrimmar.Garrosh will give you two chains, which you complete in Orgrimmar:
Inspect the demolishers-
Machines of War
Weapons of Mass Dysfunction
Acquire the map-
Sauranok Will Point the Way
Unfamiliar WatersCompleting these quests will unlock the following, in which you are sent to Bilgewater Harbor in Azshara:
Where Is My Warfleet?Warlord Krogg will then give you the following quests to do in Bilgewater Harbor:
Discipline the grunts-
Ready the Ground Troops
Check the ship-
Ready the Navy
Beating the MarketYou also need to complete Captain Krazz's chain of quests in Bilgewater Harbor:
Ready the Air Force
Smoot's Samophlange
Pre-Flight ChecklistCompleting both Krogg's and Krazz's chains will unlock:
Twilight Skies
Which requires you to ride the zeppelin to the Twilight Highlands. It may take a few minutes for the zeppelin to arrive. You must ride it and watch the full cutscreen in order to progress to the chains to open Dragonmaw Port.Once you've arrived, start the following chain, given by Krazz:
Stalled Negotiations
Madness
Negotiations TerminatedI am not sure whether it's necessary to also do Krogg's little chain to progress, but you may as well, it's all right there:
Emergency Aid
Dangerous CompassionAfter that, Krogg will start you off on the final chain:
You Say You Want a Revolution
Insurrection
Death to Mor'ghor
Securing the Beach Head
Muddied Waters (and also Cementing Our Victory)
The Warchief Will be Pleased
Traitor's Bait
Return to the Highlands
When you return to Dragonmaw Port as the final step, it should be the full version - complete with vendors, questgivers and portal to Orgrimmar. You will now also have unlocked Dragonmaw Clan reputation.
Alliance portal from/to Stormwind opens after completing quest Any Portal in a Storm.
