Is this a jojo reference?

Comment by Avisrara

Gunpowder, gelatin
Dynamite with a laser beam!

Comment by Orphia

For all you Jojos out there, it's NOT a reference to the stand, so if you came here to nerd over that sorry to burst your bubble. It's a reference to the song "Killer Queen" by Queen, which Kira's stand is in turn named for.

There.

Comment by Bursi

The Warchief Awaits popped up after first login with a level 110 toon one week after prepatch for BfA.
If you completed the story with one character (of the same faction), you can talk to Sylvanas "I have heard this tale before" to skip the chain after accepting The Warchief Commands (step 2). You'll get teleported to the south of Darkshore with access to World Quests.
You will need to complete the previous chapters to unlock the following ones (chapter 1 and The Battle for Lordaeron (chapter 3, step 2) can be skipped).

Chapter 1 (unlocked 07/24/2018):

The Warchief Awaits - meet Lady Sylvanas Windrunner in Undercity (use the middle doorway in the Apothecarium to reach her -> /way Undercity 53.22 62.73 Entrance). Don't use the teleporter from Silvermoon to go to Uc, this might kill you
The Warchief Commands - travel to Crossroads and meet High Overlord Saurfang
A Quick Diversion - travel to Astranaar in Ashenvale and meet Lorash
Everybody Has a Price - dismount and use your extrabutton to mark the guards
A Timely Arrival - meet Lady Sylvanas Windrunner
Zoram'gar Outpost - fly to Zoram'gar Outpost and speak to the mentioned NPC. Return to Astranaar
On The Prowl - turn in at the border between Ashenvale and Darkshore
Into the Woods - kill 6 enemies
Ripe for the Picking - return to Zoram'gar Outpost
A Quick Flyover - speak to Zarvik Blastwix and kill wisps and trees
An Unstoppable Force - return to the border to Darkshore, pass the wall and wait for Sylvanas. Reload, if she doesn't appear for you
A Glaive Misunderstanding - burn glaives with your Everburning Torch
Clearing Them Out - kill 7 elfs
Blurred Vision - kill 8 owls and 10 furbolgs
The Trees Have Ears - kill Burning Ancient (cinematic after turn in)
The Blackwood Den - kill 10 furbolgs
Aggressive Inspiration - place 3 banners
The Start of Something Good - return to Zoram'gar Outpost
A Very Clear Message - kill 10 elfs
Fueling the Horde War Machine - collect Azerite lying around
A Gift of Azerite - turn in at the marked area
A Wild Ride - click Goblin Hellion, it will transport you. Kill enemies
A Looming Threat - return to Sylvanas and click her dialogue
After that 4 World Quests in Darkshore popped up.

It took around 40 minutes.

Chapter 2 (unlocked on 07/31/2018):

Saurfang Returns - find Saurfang (I got this quest after entering Darkshore)
No Small Mercy - click 8 citizens
Seaside Rendezvous - kill 2 named NPC (Caranne Briarbow and Ariel Stagguard)
Driving Them Out - kill 15 defenders
Killer Queen - fly to the marked area, find Saurfang, watch roleplay and meet Sylvanas at the beach (45.52, 18.26). Click her dialogue (cinematic)

It took around 11 minutes, starting at Darkshore's south & without cinematic.

You will gain War-Torn Reins of the Undercity Plaguebat (teaches Undercity Plaguebat) at the end (reward from Killer Queen) and also get Teldrassil Hippogryph (Smoldering Reins of the Teldrassil Hippogryph) for the other faction at the same time. So you only need to complete the quest chain on one faction to get both mounts, but they are bound to their faction.

Chapter 3 (unlocked on 08/07/2018):

It took ca. 27 minutes, starting in Og at Saurfang (ca. 21 without cinematics)

Chapter 4 (unlocked on BfA Release):

A Dying World - travel to Silithus and meet Magni (popped up after login). Speak to Zidormi, if you changed the phasing in Silithus before
The Heart of Azeroth - follow Magni to the translocator and click the console's dialogue (cinematic). Speak to Magni
You will get Heart of Azeroth and Have a Heart
Infusing the Heart - use your extrabutton Heart of Azeroth at the azerite ores to fill the bar, go to the middle and click it again
The Speaker's Imperative - go to Orgrimmar (use the transporter behind Magni) and meet Nathanos Blightcaller
Battle for Azeroth: Mission Statement - enter Grommash Hold (cinematic) and meet your team in the inn
The Stormwind Extraction - click Blightcaller's Easy Death on the table and go to the wall. Click Skyhorn Eagle, it will transport you to the solo scenario:
- destroy the two padlocks and enter Stormwind's sewer
- go to the marked area and meet Rokhan
- click the door, speak to High Overlord Saurfang (wait for his dialogue is complete before you open the next door. Might bug otherwise)
- go to the mark on the other side, click the door to free the Zandalaris. Follow and defend your team on the way to the northeastern part of the dungeon. Click Stormwind Sewer Access
- speak to Rokhan and follow him. Speak to him again after you jumped into the water, follow again
- kill attackers and follow your team and speak to Nathanos Blightcaller. Follow again
- destroy Icy Barrier
- kill enemies on your way to the nothern dock. Enter your ship and speak to Princess Talanji (cinematic)
Welcome to Zuldazar - follow Princess Talanji
Rastakhan - click Enforcer's Pterrordax, it will transport you to the princess. Talk to her (cinematic)
Speaker of the Horde - speak to Zolani and follow her. Use the elevator and click Horde Banner at the balcony
Re-enter the building and visit the tree chambers. Turn in at the other room at the floor
To Matters at Hand - meet the princess
We Need Each Other cinematic. You get Welcome to Zandalar after turning in
Quest line done - now you can chose your preferred quest area at the map on the table

It took ca. 55 minutes (ca. 50 without cinematics)

Thank you, Wowhead, I was spent 30 mins trying to find the next part of the quest...if I had just come here first I'd have found the time delay for the final chain!

Comment by DarknessinZero

Something something Freddie Mercury, something something Yoshikage Kira.

Comment by Xistt

Impeach Sylvanus!

Comment by Nepharius

Not gonna lie, I definitely echo Saurfang's feelings near the end of this, when he goes, "Come, champion. We must follow our warchief to... victory." It's like, he knows this isn't right, but has resigned himself, at this point at least, to the course this is flowing in.

Aside, I'm hoping now, after doing this, that there's something in BfA that has the Queen get her butt kicked all over the place.

Comment by Aiomon

Can someone explain to me what the last cinematic was? I don't get who died and what happened.

Comment by Anaheim12

Any1 know why cant i talk to sylvanas at end?

Comment by Muxtarr

So, what are next steps in that storyline? Will we see them only afer BfA release?

Comment by Zachs

I wish this questline worked like Bites the Dust does, and lets us go back in time afterward to stop it from happening.

Comment by druunah

I've always loved The Dark Lady.

I've followed her loyally for years upon years.

However:

Her cheese has done slid off her cracker.

She has a screw loose.

Her tin foil hat's got tarnish

She's a few fries short of a Happy Meal

She's fruity as a nut cake.

Saurfang sees the dishonor here:

ie: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2&v=aW_h0qf9vpA)

His heart is heavy, his mind is troubled, his conscience is poking his soul with a pointy stick...

Saurfang refused to kill the innocent and sent us "Champions" (after all, we are the champions...) in to save the citizens.

Sadly, (although I smiled a big smile and my heart soared to the heavens when Sylvanas screamed "FOR THE HORDE!" at Lordaeron) The Dark Lady must go..

Be dethroned.

A vote of no confidence,

Impeached.

Put out of power.

And then...?

Saurfang For Warchief!

FOR THE HORDE!

*Edit* Seriously. What's with the "insta-downvotes" on Wowhead lately?

Do you down-voters not like the idea of Saufang for Warchief?

Is Lady Sylvanas honorable and justified in killing untold numbers of innocent noncombatants in your estimates?

Please don't just down-vote and run.

Do tell....

Comment by Rankkor

Meanwhile at Blizzard Entertainment HQ: "So guys, I have this idea. Lets make the next expansion after Legion, to be all about Faction Pride and Patriotism. And here's the kicker, before you even get a chance to play it, we're going to strip away every last ounce of pride and patriotism for your faction, in the most painful, heartbreaking and traumatizing way possible."

"Brilliant. Lets do it".

-_- Seriously, everyone who made this call, kindly go to hell. If your plan was to make me never EVER want to say "For the Horde" again, congratulations. Mission accomplished.

Hope you're proud of yourselves, cuz I sure as #$%& am not.

Comment by FearlessAce

They had best add an alternate quest line that doesn't involve making our characters complicit in genocide.

Blizzard, do you really expect any of my heroes to just stand there on the beach, next to Sylvanas, and let her burn innocents?
Every single one of my characters would gladly face her wrath in an effort to stop her.

Until there's a way around it, I'm roleplaying that they all tried to stop her and she killed them, permadeath, no rez, because they sure as hell aren't allowing outright genocide to occur on their watch. Most especially my Blood Elf Death Knight -- did no one writing this expansion play Wrath of the Lich King? My DK fought hard to regain his free will against this exact kind of thing.

R.I.P. all my hero characters across two servers. And R.I.P. to my subscription until a workaround is released, 'cause I'm not playing Alliance, you can't make me.

Comment by Melandroso

Very strong. Now, we must redeem ourselves.

"Killer Queen has already touched that World Tree!"

*click*

Comment by zharshoul

Tyrande thinking that she "spared" Saurfang. Either she was sweating bullets, bluffing like crazy or just that conceited(she is an elf so probably that).

Later after Saurfang has spared Malfurion after Sylvanas ordered Saurfang to kill him. You can almost see how pissed she is just underneath that she was disobeyed, but what is she gonna do? kill Saurfang?Saurfang does what he wants and I don't even mean that in a meme/chucknorris kinda way, he literally could take either of them on but just has no interest at leading at this time.

Comment by WokkaD

You can't leave Saurfang and Malfurion when Sylvanas leaves.
You need to wait until Saurfang says we leave.

Comment by Aurleis1

Killer Queen
• Accept the quest, Killer Queen, from High Overlord Saurfang at coords 52.1, 22.4 (Lor'danel, Darkshore).
• Travel west to coords 45.8, 23.1.

• After speaking with Lady Sylvanas Windrunner, you will be able to view the Warbringers: Sylvanas cinematic.
• Turn in the quest to Lady Sylvanas Windrunner.

Comment by bulltsamurai

Just a heads up, this quest can't be completed after the release of Battle For Azeroth. If you still have it in your quest log, just abandon it.

Killer Queen

Scour the forest of Darkshore to find the Warchief.

	Find Saurfang in Northern Darkshore (1)
	Assist the Warchief (1)
	Follow Saurfang (1)
	Speak with Sylvanas (1)

Description

Lor'danel is now secure, but something is amiss... there has been no sign of Stormrage. Malfurion would have never let Lor'danel fall without a fight. He must have gone after her. My army has approached from the North, and our reinforcements have arrived from the South -- which means that they are not along any of the roads. Search the forest with me, <name>. We will find them and be done with this once and for all.
