Strand of the Ancients is an old Titan island and lies off the south coast of the Dragonblight, and it’s here that a new war is raging. Within the battleground, your aim is to either attack, or defend. All attackers will begin the fight in boats which will approach the beach, which is where the defenders will start the fight. As the fight progresses the attackers will have to make their way through three sections of walls, after each being capture points and a graveyard.
Siege weapons will be available throughout the fight, which will prove extremely useful to take advantage of the destructible buildings that can be found within the islands defences.
Information from WWI

- Attackers will come from boats and defenders will start in the middle of the beach.
- There are 3 sections of walls in the Area, after each wall there are capture points and graveyards to make the attack on the next points faster.
- Attackers will get more siege vehicles depending on their progression throughout the siege.
- The battleground will be either 10vs10 or 15vs15, this isn't decided yet.
