Overview

Off the shores of Dustwallow Marsh, the Darkspear Raiders and the Theramore Expeditionary Force fight over the Darkspear Islands. Fifteen players a side hold capture points and fight for a flag.

Objective
Control the four capture points — the Abandoned Tower, Camp, Ruins and Shipwreck Cove — and take the flag at the center of the map to a base your team holds.
How to win
The first team to 2,000 points wins.

How to get there

Queue with a battlemaster in a capital city, or in the Barrens at the Darkspear Raiders' base on the Merchant Coast (Horde) or the Theramore Expeditionary Force's base at Northwatch (Alliance), where a portal takes you in.
