Twin Spire Ruins
Twin Spire Ruins are the remains of a holy draenei site in Zangarmarsh now contested by the Alliance and Horde. Two towers flank a burial ground, with the towers being capturable. When both towers are captured by a faction, their battle standards are carried forth and placed in the graveyard, giving complete control. Before the Orc Corruption, they were lighthouses for draenei ships. ( https://twitter.com/DaveKosak/status/399321560344850432 )
Capturing the towers (beacons)[]
The towers (Blizzard calls them "Beacons") use the standard capture system seen throughout the game (in such places as the Eastern Plaguelands and in Terokkar Forest). A bar is shown when inside the tower, with the pointer moving toward whichever faction has the most players within the tower.
Capturing the graveyard (central tower)[]
When both towers are under your faction's control, the Field Scout of your respective faction will hand out a Battle Standard, which can then be placed in the graveyard (Blizzard calls this the "Central Tower"), capturing it for your faction. There is no longer a restriction of not being able to mount while holding the flag. Aspect of the Pack and other speed enhancing skills, including a druid's ground-based shape-shifts, will not cause you to lose the flag either.
