Along with another area that's being opened up for players, it means the Maw will now be substantially bigger and fighting to survive in it will feel a bit different-and not just in appearance. Korthia isn't exactly a full new zone but more of an expansion to The Maw. So now we get to tell the next chapter in that story, the next act of the play, and so this is all about, now that we've made these individual covenants stronger, how do they work together to take the fight to the Jailer? Before the Maw was a very dangerous place and still will be, but now, with our combined strengths, will be able to make a foothold there.' 'But all the while the jailer and his allies were up to some nefarious things. 'When Shadowlands launched, it was really about choosing a Covenant and helping them grow stronger,' Danuser says. This is an important chapter to further the story.' 'We're going to see the Jailer's plans evolve, we're going to learn more about Sylvanas. 'We intend for Chains of Domination to really be a substantial furtherance of the Shadowlands' storyline,' Danuser tells me.

But Chains of Domination sounds like it's upping the stakes and moving the plot forward toward a major payoff. In my review of Shadowlands, one of my few criticisms was how the story, barring one zone in particular, failed to pull me in. The Jailer is frantically looking for something within that city, and to stop him and save the Shadowlands, the combined might of the four Covenants are staging an assault on the Maw. That landmass is a city called Korthia, and Danuser and lead encounter designer Morgan Day tell me it's the focal point of Chains of Domination.
