How to Complete Behind Closed Doors in WoW: The War Within

Behind Closed Doors is a questline in WoW: The War Within that isn’t required in order to complete the main campaign. However, it helps you work towards the Sojourner of Isle of Dorn achievement. Here’s how to complete the Behind Closed Doors quest chain in WoW: The War Within.

WoW The War Within: How to Complete Behind Closed Doors

This questline begins in Dornogal with the quest “How Scandalous!” that you pick up from Aldra in Stoneshaper’s Atrium. You can find the exact location circled on the map above. Some players have reported problems with not being able to complete the chain. Since it includes a total of 16 quests, it’s easy to miss one and end up being unable to pick up the next without realizing it. Here’s a full list of the quests and where to pick them up.

1. How Scandalous! – Aldra, Stoneshaper’s Atrium in Dornogal
2. Seizing Evidence – Peacekeeper Kragad, The Foregrounds in Dornogal
3. Withheld Information – Peacekeeper Kragad, The Foregrounds in Dornogal
4. Something Hidden – Peacekeeper Kragad, The Foregrounds in Dornogal
5. Report to the Councilward – Peacekeeper Kragad, The Foregrounds in Dornogal
6. The Councilward’s Summons – Saradi, next to the Dornogal flight path
7. Dornogal’s Benefactor – Merrix, Councilward’s Rise in Dornogal
8. Security Through Trade – Merrix, Keeper’s Terrace in Dornogal
9. The Market Reeve of the Foregrounds – Bevrusi, The Foregrounds in Dornogal
10. Opals and Runes – Bevrusi, The Foregrounds in Dornogal
11. The Machine Speakeasy – Merrix, Stoneshaper’s Atrium
12. Sedition – Angrily-Scrawled Poster, The Foregrounds in Dornogal
13. Damage Mitigation – Merrix, Councilward’s Rise in Dornogal
14. Dispelling Rumors – Merrix, Councilward’s Rise in Dornogal
15. Forcing My Hand – Merrix, Councilward’s Rise in Dornogal
16. Bad Business – Merrix, Councilward’s Rise in Dornogal

Potential Issues in Behind Closed Doors Quests

If you have issues with “Sedition” not appearing, you need to complete The Ringing Deeps campaign quest before it shows up. However, if you’re Level 80, have completed The Ringing Deeps, and it’s not showing up, then you need to use the option to show Low-Level Quests, as it will now be marked as such for you.

Luckily, all these quests and their objectives take place in Dornogal. So, you’ll be traveling within the city for the entire chain. I had an issue a few times where the quest wouldn’t come up when I spoke with the NPC starting it, but this was quickly solved by using the “/reload ui” command. Once complete, you unlock the Earthen as an Allied Race.
