Ruins of Theramore Preview
WARNING! WARNING! - Skip this video if you don't want to see what happens to Theramore!

As always, this is an early version of the area, previewed through unofficial means. This is absolutely not representative of the final version, it's just a preview. We don't have a lot of details about this area, as it is not part of the main map and could be part of a phased event. Keep in mind that the press tour did mention Theramore as a possible scenario for the pre Mists of Pandaria event.
