Artist Santiago Reyes Maps WoW Forever's New Dungeons
1. Halls of the Thane (Hall of the Thanes)
The dwarven subterranean stronghold beneath Khaz Modan features intricate stonework, deep forge corridors, and fortified royal burial vaults. Reyes's map captures the sprawling multi-wing layout, providing clear pathways through ancient dwarf-carved halls.
2. Ruins of Lordaeron / Under-Lordaeron (New Horde Dungeon)
Deep beneath the ruined capital city of Lordaeron lies a treacherous network of crypts, sewage waterways, and forgotten royal catacombs. This map charts the hazardous descent from the surface ruins into the shadowy domain below.
3. New Dalaran & The Violet Citadel
The arcane enclave of Dalaran—reconstructed before its eventual skyward ascension in later eras—stands protected behind towering towers and arcane wards. Reyes's rendering maps out the streets, libraries, and inner sanctums of the Kirin Tor's stronghold.

A Community Scribe Tradition
In original 2004 World of Warcraft, players explored sprawling instances like Sunken Temple, Wailing Caverns, and Blackrock Depths without the aid of built-in dungeon maps—relying entirely on printed strategy guides, fan drawings, or sheer memory.Santiago Reyes's work taps directly into that golden age of community-driven exploration. By publishing high-resolution illustrations directly to his X profile (@SR433_20) ↗, he gives beta testers and future launch raiders the strategic insight they need while preserving the classic aesthetic that defines WoW: Forever.
As more beta testing phases unfold and the remaining four dungeon layouts are unveiled, the entire realm will be watching to see what uncharted territory Santiago maps next!
