The map on the robe is surrounded by tentacles, which in the visual language of Warcraft means Old Gods. One of the relevant pieces of gear in the PTR contains a map stitched into the side of a robe’s skirt (weird fashion choice) that looks an awful lot like a new World of Warcraft area. The island isn’t even on the world map anymore after the events of “Cataclysm” reshaped the world, but some Kul’Tiras soldiers appear in certain “Legion” quests, so it almost certainly still exists somewhere in the ocean.

Kul’Tiras helped out the Alliance during the plots of Warcraft 2 and Warcraft 3, but aside from a few scattered references over the years, the nation itself has never appeared in World of Warcraft. It’s the homeland of Jaina Proudmoore, a major Alliance character who angrily teleported away at the beginning of the “Legion” story arc and hasn’t been seen since. Kul’Tiras is an independent human city-state that formerly existed off the western coast of the Eastern Kingdoms. If you’re not up on your Warcraft lore, allow me to explain. There’s a ton to consider here, but in short, the current build of World of Warcraft in the PTR contains data for a set of questing gear based on the lost human nation of Kul’Tiras.

Thanks to PC Gamer for spotting this and to YouTube user Bellular for the impressive video above.
