The War Within campaign

The War Within campaign covers all of the story in the The War Within expansion, the beginning of the Worldsoul Saga trilogy.
Prelude: Hunt for the Harbinger
Added in patch 10.2.7 as part of the Dark Heart campaign, Khadgar has asked players to come to Dalaran to figure out what's going on with the Harbinger after they claimed the Dark Heart. This questline is not required to start the War Within intro, but it does provide context.

Leveling
Isle of Dorn
- Main article: Isle of Dorn storyline
Dalaran has been brought down by Xal'atath and the nerubians, landing on the Isle of Dorn, surface of the continent of Khaz Algar. The local earthen are none-too-pleased by this turn of events, but they begrudgingly ask adventurers for help pushing the nerubian attackers out of their capital of Dornogal. After that, they need to get the Council of Dornogal back together after a schism splintered the four parties.
The Ringing Deeps
- Main article: Ringing Deeps storyline
After reopening the Coreway in Dornogal down to the Ringing Deeps that was damaged in the initial nerubian attack, players come across the Machine Speakers also patching themselves up from a nerubian attack. The High Speaker hasn't been seen in ages, as he's too focused on restoring the Hall of Awakening, a device that wakens earthen from their stasis. Without it, the earthen numbers have been dropping precipitously over the years.
Hallowfall
- Main article: Hallowfall storyline
After solving the High Speaker problem, players (and Anduin Wrynn) push through to Hallowfall, the light-filled cavern that the Arathi settled in to 15 years ago after getting teleported there while searching for the emperor's prophecy. Beledar has been shifting between Light and Shadow without rhyme or reason, which has not been helping the Arathi fend off against more nerubian attackers and the kobyss from the Undersea.
Azj-Kahet
- Main article: Azj-Kahet storyline
The nerubians were, of course, prepared for an assault from the Arathi—as the webbed-up Reckoning airship can attest to—scattering the Arathi and Anduin across the zone. Help the fighters get their feet under them and gather some new allies to take down Queen Ansurek and Xal'atath.
Completion
At the end of the leveling campaign, [78-80] Surface Bound becomes available to unlock Khaz Algar world quests and Adventure Mode.
Alternatively, alts of players who've previously completed the leveling campaign can skip the leveling campaign via [80] A Time to Come Together. This will put the character at the start of the max-level campaign.
Max-level storylines
- Main article: The War Within endgame
At level 80, the campaign continues with 5 chapters in 
[The War Within]. After completing the campaign, a short storyline directs players into Nerub-ar Palace storyline, the first raid of the expansion. Multiple end-game quests and activities also unlock at max-level.
New Awakenings
Following the max-level portion of the campaign, and after completing the 
[Allied Races: Earthen] achievement, the earthen playable race becomes available with their own introduction questline.
