Legion intro experience

The Legion intro experience takes place in two parts: a shared intro experience for (almost) all classes and players - landing on the Broken Shore, and later, class-and-spec specific quests to acquire an artifact and set up their class hall.

All non-demon hunter characters start Legion by starting where the intro cinematic ends, heading to the Broken Shore.

Demon hunter starting experience

Main article: Demon hunter starting experience

Demon hunters instead begin their existence by revealing what happened to the Illidari during the Sha'tari assault on Black Temple during the invasion of Outland. It turns out that Illidan Stormrage sent the Illidari to a Burning Legion prison world, Mardum, to recover the  [Sargerite Keystone]. After acquiring the keystone and returning to the Black Temple, the Illidari are captured by the Wardens and put into stasis.

Years later, the player is woken up by Maiev Shadowsong, because she's run out of other options, as the Vault of the Wardens has been overrun by the Burning Legion. After retaking the Vault, Archmage Khadgar appears, informing the player of the even greater threat of the Legion and teleports everyone to their faction capitals — Stormwind City and Orgrimmar.

Khadgar's plan

At this point, all characters' storylines are united at the Illidari camps in their faction capitals. Khadgar's Upgraded Servant then appears, offering players to accompany Khadgar as he calls the Council of Six for a vote concerning Dalaran's future. Khadgar and the player then embark on a quest through Ulduar and Karazhan to find means to turn the tide and close the Legion gateway at the Tomb of Sargeras. After Khadgar learns that the key lies in the Pillars of Creation, the Council teleports Dalaran to their presumed location — the Broken Isles.

Azsuna

Archmage Khadgar was planning an expedition to Azsuna - you should seek him out at Krasus' Landing in Dalaran immediately.

Highmountain

Our sources tell us that a Highmountain tauren emissary has recently arrived in Dalaran. We don't know his intentions, but his people could be an invaluable contact in the region.

Stormheim

Alliance

Sky Admiral Rogers has sent word for you to meet her in Dalaran. It sounded important.

Horde

Nathanos Blightcaller, Champion of the Banshee Queen herself, sent for you in Dalaran. He made it sound urgent.

The Kirin Tor have provided a permanent portal to Dalaran that you can use to travel there quickly. He should be waiting for you in the Violet Citadel.

Val'sharah

Archmage Khadgar sent word about Val'Sharah not long ago. It sounds like he has good news.
