With Sanctum of Domination raid testing starting later today, we're taking an early look at the zone environment.
Sanctum of Domination Encounter Journal
The aesthetics of the zone are similar to what we've already seen in Torghast, with many spikes and architectural details reminiscent of Icecrown Citadel.
There is also an interesting set of models depicting the top of Torghast and the Arbiter's Chambers, which likely serve as start and end locations for the Sylvanas encounter:
Top of Torghast
Comparison of datamined chamber to the Arbiter's Chamber in
The Looming Dark
Stage One: A Cycle of Hatred: "We have forgotten what makes us strong." Players battle against Sylvanas
atop Torghast
while the Jailer remains elusive.
Intermission: A Monument to our Suffering: "You are unfit to wear this crown." Upon reaching 80% health, Sylvanas chains all players with , then casts , destroying the tower itself.
Stage Two: The Banshee Queen: "What are we if not slaves to this torment?" Sylvanas enters , taking to the skies to waylay players' persuit of the Jailer as he ascends. Thrall and Jaina lend their aid by casting and , respectively, but must be kept free from interruptions while doing so.
Stage Three: The Freedom of Choice: "Nothing can stop what is to come." Sylvanas follows the players' traversal, greeting them for the
final showdown between Death and inevitability
in the Jailer's master plan.

Hmm. Chains exist within the veil between the Maw and Azeroth...
"This
world
is a prison".
Makes me wonder if Sylvanas was being literal...
She was always right, because she had SEEN this long before. Right after the Lich King defeat which took place before the Sundering, before Pandaria, before time twisters on alternative Draenor, before Legion attack and ultimate defeat. Three Horde warchiefs and two Orgrimmar sieges ago. We just didn't listen.
I still hope she's not dying in this raid. t would be so lame to turn the all-round positive character into a villain.

Positive? Wtf?
Anyways, no one knows about Sylvanas' fate. We DO however assume the Jailer's gonna win.
