How to get to WoW Dragonflight’s capital city, Valdrakken

The new home for all of our Dragonflight adventures.

World of Warcraft Dragonflight takes you to the Dragon Isles for the first time—and, of course, there’s a new capital city to visit.

To get there, you must follow a line of quests that begin at your faction’s capital city: Stormwind for Alliance and Orgrimmar for Horde. The quest that takes you to the new zone is called The Dragon Isles Await.

Opening your map and quest log is the best way to follow your progress toward that quest chain. In the top right corner of that page, you’ll see info on the Dragonscale Expedition campaign.

On the Horde side, you pick up The Dragon Isles Await from an NPC named Naleidea Rivergleam. The Alliance gets their quest from Toddy Whiskers. The quests see you taking a zeppelin or boat, respectively, that brings you to The Waking Shores.

This zone is in the northwestern portion of the Dragon Isles, and while it’s where you begin your journey, it’s not where the capital city of the new expansion lies.

What is the capital city in WoW Dragonflight?

The capital city of the Dragon Isles in WoW Dragonflight is Valdrakken, home to all five of the expansion’s Dragonflight races (Red, Blue, Bronze, Black, and Green). The city is neutral and does not allow for cross-faction PvP.

Valdrakken location in WoW Dragonflight

Valdrakken is located near the center of the Dragon Isles and in the northwestern corner of Thaldraszus. You can easily reach Valdrakken using Dragonriding or with a regular flying mount. You just have to unlock the ability to fly first.

If you want to walk into Valdrakken, you can easily do so by going to Shadow Pass in Thaldraszus. There, you will find a bridge leading to the city around the coordinates 41, 67.
