Khaz Algar

Khaz Algar is a long-forgotten island and underground continent off the north-western coast of Pandaria, south-east of Kalimdor. On the surface there is only the Isle of Dorn, but below it the land spreads far wider, ringed by a huge Undersea. The titan-forged earthen were sent here long ago, and their capital Dornogal is the main hub of The War Within.

In the story, Dalaran is teleported over the Isle of Dorn and destroyed from within by Xal'atath and her nerubian forces. Players then side with the Nation of Dornogal, the Arathi of Hallowfall and the Severed Threads, and Alliance and Horde troops join the locals in the Algari Offensive.

The zones go downward: you begin on the surface of the Isle of Dorn and travel deeper until you reach Azj-Kahet. Later patches added more areas.

Dornogal stands in the middle of the Isle of Dorn. It is the capital of the earthen, a sanctuary city, and it was first built as the fortress of the Coreway. It is named after the titan watchers Dornic and Galan and is ruled by the Council of Dornogal. After the Alliance and Horde armies arrived, both opened embassies in the city. Its design reflects the crafting and profession work the earthen are known for.

• You fly to Dornogal after crash-landing on the Isle of Dorn at the start of the campaign.
• Foundation Hall has portals to Stormwind City and Orgrimmar; the capitals also have portals back to Dornogal.
• The Coreway leads down to the Ringing Deeps, and later in the campaign portals open to Azj-Kahet, Undermine and K'aresh.

Khaz Algar is also the home of the first Delves, such as Earthcrawl Mines, Fungal Folly, Kriegval's Rest, Nightfall Sanctum, The Spiral Weave and The Waterworks, with more added in later patches. All three raids also offer a Story Mode.

Khaz Algar opens during the intro of The War Within, with the quest To Khaz Algar! for levels 68-70. After that, the portals in the Pathfinder's Den in Orgrimmar and the Wizard's Sanctum in Stormwind City lead to Dornogal.
