SS Dalaran

Photonic Playground is an art gallery in Dalaran. A Pilgrim Shrine from the can be found upstairs.

There are several paintings of note here, including:

  • A painting of a female gnome in a sitting position — a reference to Leonardo da Vinci's .
  • A painting of a male goblin - a reference to the of William Shakespeare.
  • A painting of a pot of sunflowers (with a single Singing Sunflower in the bunch)—a reference to Vincent Van Gogh's .
  • A pair of paintings portraying the orc and human from the box art for Warcraft: Orcs & Humans.
  • And a painting of Kur'talos Ravencrest wielding Ravencrest's Legacy leaning in the corner of the store.

Several paintings seem to move or come alive. The female gnome can move her eyes, disappear entirely, fall asleep, or get red evil eyes with a dark grin.

  • It's a reference to the real life Photonic Playground art gallery, founded by Blizzard employees David Luong and Steven Dowling Jr.
  • It is located where the Threads of Fate shop used to be before Legion.
