What we know
One of the nine dungeons announced for World of Warcraft: Forever. The picture is from Blizzard's reveal press pack.
What is confirmed. Blizzard's reveal fact sheet says Forever launches with nine new dungeons and a level cap of 60. The press pack contains a screenshot of each of the nine, and this is one of them.
What is reported but not verified. The location and the level range below come from our own research notes of 14 September, compiled from panel coverage rather than from the game. Nothing here has been checked against a build.
What we do not have. No boss list, no loot, no quest chain. The current client catalog can include encounter names, but these may be events rather than bosses. A client record does not establish that an instance is open or what it drops. Follow its build-specific record for the available evidence.
Getting there
This is the client map of Stranglethorn Vale, the reported location. The entrance is not marked, because we do not have a verified position for it.
