Nice video!
Tol Barad is the first thing I check when there's a new build. I really wonder how it will pan out. I was disappointed when I heard flying wouldn't be disabled there (as I look forward to harass people doing their daily quests), but someone pointed out that it's a prison and as such there should be a lot of indoors stuff there.
And in fact I suspect that they may indeed be planning to create an underground complex there. There are a few small buildings scattered around that look like entrances to a underground place (one can be seen at 0:17 in the video). The terrain clips through them at the moment but if you teleport under the terrain you can see that those things are actually stairways that goes under the ground, there's just nothing at the end of it yet.
Also in the early version of tol barad located in the actual eastern kingdom map (to the west of gilneas), they used crypt entrances as placeholders for those.
Another interesting thing is that the swamp at 1:27 used to have water in the previous build, and it has gone missing in the current build, which makes me wonder if they might have raised the terrain for the whole island (to make more room underground perhaps?) and the water didn't follow.
