Given that the defense system room is on the same level of elevation as the chained rock in the main hub area, the blind dragons room may be closer to the highways elevation.
Blackwind descent entrance full#
So a room full of books and ancient knowledge might be it. Given that the entrance has a lot of guards, including a molten giant (the only other one in BRD is right before the Emperor himself), it has to be something extremely important. That’s the unfortunate situation with most stuff in WoW things are there with no explanation, and honestly we shouldn’t really need one because it isn’t relevant to the main storyline’s progression - and I get that. Which is odd, because it means the entrance to BWD does not line up with the entrance to BWL, unless you go through a really long corridor that goes around the mountain. There are a few differences, the biggest one is the left path from Burning Steppes to Searing Gorge is missing from the instance version, but the position seems to be mostly the same.Įven the map for Blackwing Decent places the defense system around the stop where I claim it is. The dwarf statues holding the chains are in the same poses and the chain down to Blackrock Depths is in the same space. The angle of the second screenshot is not in the exact angle position of the first.
The first screenshot is taken from inside the raid. Since you can cross reference the placement of the statues and other landmarks from that area from the perspective of the instance and outside of it. It also seems it is on the side to the left, coming from the burning steps entrance. If you look out from the 2nd bosses room, you can see the center of the main area inside the mountain. This is what the complete set of maps look like stacked in place:
Some things I’m noticing while looking at the maps in their raw format is that the Dark Iron Highway in BRD could very well emerge out near the Altar of Storms, and also that the mountain would need to expand far to the east and south if BWL, UBRS/LBRS, and BWD are to fit. Obviously, I’m taking some liberties here and there for the sake of making it work, but the scale should be on the nose at the very least. This is the first of (what will be) three or four maps showing each level of the mountain’s interior: the Core (bottom), the Lower Spire and Shadowforge City (second from the bottom), the Upper Spire (third from the bottom), and then Blackwing Lair & Blackwing Descent (the top). So, I figured it was worth a bit of effort to slap together the maps, spruce it up using Inkarnate, and see just how large the mountain would need be for the dungeons to fit. For the longest time, I’ve wanted a revamp so we can see it fully fleshed out, with all the dungeons connected - but (spoiler) none of the dungeons actually fit inside. Taking a bit of my time off this week to dig a bit deeper into one of my favorite places, Blackrock Mountain.
