World of Warcraft Heritage Quest Has Big News for the Draenei

The Draenei Heritage quest from World of Warcraft Patch 10.2.7 confirms plans to build a new city on Azeroth. This new World of Warcraft city is a huge deal for the Draenei, who have been without a true home for about 17 years, both in and out of the game.

World of Warcraft Patch 10.2.7, Dark Heart, is the final content update before The War Within’s pre-patch.

While all of these new questlines have been popular among fans, the Draenei quest in particular has a huge revelation that could spell something big for the race's future. At the end of their new Heritage quest, shortly before they unlock the World of Warcraft Heritage Armor rewards, players are treated to a short cinematic where Velen addresses the crowd gathered for the Tishamaat – a ceremony of remembrance revived during the quest – during which the Draenei leader reveals they are building a new city to live in on Azuremyst Isle.

When the Draenei were first introduced in World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade, they crash-landed on Azuremyst Isle. Their starting experience largely involved navigating the wreckage of the Exodar and establishing a foothold. However, in the 17 real years since the expansion was released, and the over 15 in-game years since their crash, the Draenei have not had a true home beyond the wreckage of the Exodar.

Players have been hoping the Draenei would finally set down roots now that the Burning Legion is gone, and most agree the Heritage questline was the perfect place to do that. What’s more, the announcement of this new city has some fans wondering if the Azuremyst and Bloodmist Isles will eventually get a revamp, like how
