After beating back the Iron Horde Incursion to the Tanaan Valley, Archmage Khadgar led a coalition of Azeroth's heroes in holding off the Iron Horde until they find a way to disable the Dark Portal. A heroic champion of the Azeroth coalition acquired intel from the enemy regarding the inner workings of the Dark Portal,[2] and from the intel, the coalition discovered that the Dark Portal is fueled by the felmagic of Gul'dan and his Shadow Council. After freeing the imprisoned Shadow Council,[3][4] the Dark Portal was shut down,[5] allowing the coalition to go on the offensive.
The Assault of the Dark Portal is a roughly hour-long directed questing experience that sends players on a counterclockwise loop of the zone. Once done, players will be awarded the [Welcome to Draenor] achievement and sent onward to the Frostfire Ridge storyline or the Shadowmoon Valley storyline, for Horde and Alliance players respectively.
