WoW Dungeon - "Kurtok's Pass"

“Kurtok’s Pass” takes place in Northshire Valley. After the initial invasion of Blackrock Orc’s into the Vineyard, the Humans plan to stop the second invasion into the Abbey by striking down Kurtok the Slayer while also destroying the passage they made to invade the Valley.

Below, you can find my level design process for this level.
