World maps collects three location-matched map previews from Wowhead's Forever datamining report.[1]
Open the zoomable map viewer to explore these same original images.
Riverglades
The visible Powderfuse Port and neighboring-region labels identify this as the Riverglades preview when compared with Blizzard's setting description.[1][2] The image has no Riverglades title banner; this identification is a comparison of the pictured landmarks with the official description.
Travel evidence · Powderfuse Port · Krol'dok Stronghold
Shen'dralas
This image labels Shen'dralas and the Valley of Bones.[1]
Read the region reference · Desolace
Darkspear Islands
The title banner identifies Darkspear Islands.[1]
Reading these maps
Labels and drawn roads are useful reference points, but a drawn connection does not establish a usable passage. Match an observed route to the map in one recorded Forever build before adding coordinates, entrance pins or travel instructions. Map symbols alone do not identify active vendors, quest givers or dungeon portals.
The originals are retained without added markers or image edits. Source artwork and wiki annotations should remain distinguishable when future observations are added.
Evidence still needed
Record the Forever build for each map; Compare map labels with the in-game map; Verify routes before adding coordinate pins
Record the Forever build, observation date, and a source or screenshot. Update the article and remove only the tasks your evidence resolves.
