Darkspear Islands PvP #
Darkspear Islands is announced as a 15-versus-15 battleground off Kalimdor. Blizzard describes strategic control points with Arathi Basin-style flag capture and defense.
That description does not establish scoring rates, queue requirements, match rewards or Honor progression. A tactical guide needs a verified map and the live rule set.

What your group can settle now #
Do not carry over attunement routes, dungeon keys or loot tables from other WoW versions without a Forever-specific check.
- Separate interest in 10-, 20- and 40-player raid groups. Recheck encounter and roster rules before assigning fixed roles.
- Agree on faction and a shared start date. The reviewed sources do not establish cross-realm or cross-faction grouping rules.
- Record December 9 as the announced raid milestone, without inventing an opening hour.
- Before setting an equipment requirement, check a current Forever guide with item sources and encounter evidence.
