Fully revealed map assembled from client map and exploration textures. Artwork from build 1.60.1.69977. Associated by the client filename Interface/WorldMap/Silithus_c60, not by a direct map-art foreign key. This is client artwork, not a verified in-game map. Artwork © Blizzard Entertainment.

This map's artwork has not been found unchanged in this page's build 1.60.1.70790, so its markers may sit slightly off. The coordinates are listed with the map.
