- Kill him to loot Ogmot's Dream Journal
- Wowhead has some speculation on the meaning of the journal entries that will likely contain spoilers. Check it out here.
I have outlined some additional story below. However, be warned it may contain spoilers.
After we killed Argus, Sargeras stabbed Azeroth, wounding Silithus. Don't worry, the gigantic sword is still sticking out in all of its glory. Azeroth will need to be healed which has already begun. Alliance and Horde have set up shop near the wound to help mine the newly sprouted Azerite nodes all around the wound and help heal the wound. While doing this small quest chain, we will see Dadgar of course along with good ole Magni.
Speaking of Magni, for the quest "A Speaker's Perspective," he is located (42,43) on the upper, left side of the wound.

- If you no longer have it, the quest giver will give you a new one when prompted.
- Original filters are included with the new camera.
- The quest givers are located in Stormwind & Orgrimmar
- The new camera has a new ability for background filters.
- In order to use the background filters, you will need to collect them.
- Collecting them is similar to how we collected the jukebox music scrolls.
- The ones we know of so far are:
- Firelands Filter
- Viewing the Firelands sky.
- How to get: Take a selfie with Ragnaros in Firelands.
- Frostmourne Filter
- Viewing the souls trapped within Frostmourne.

The full breakdown of the Leveling Updates can be found here: Leveling Updates Breakdown.
- Zone Scaling
- Leveling Changes
- Flying Changes
- Artifact Weapons
- With the datamined dialogue, cutscene, and other information, it is likely this will happen either at the end of Patch 7.3.5 or a pre-expansion patch. My guess is something like a 7.4 patch perhaps.
- Unlocking Allied Races
- We know we will be able to unlock Allied Races with the Battle For Azeroth pre-order.
- This suggests that some of the Allied Races will be playable either at the end of Patch 7.3.5 or a pre-expansion patch.
- It stands to reason that Blizzard would want us to be able to unlock the Allied Races so that we can level them for use in BFA.
