EVIDENCE & TRUST
Every published game claim points to evidence. Official sources and attributed third-party records keep their actual authority; we link to them rather than copying their text.
CURATED REGISTRY / REVIEWED 2026-09-19
BETA EVIDENCE REGISTRY
No beta-client observation has been registered. Announcement articles remain separate from client inspection and third-party datamining.
TALENT ICON ARTWORK
Talent icons are Blizzard Entertainment game artwork. Each icon follows the identifier supplied for that talent in the attributed Talents Forever export ↗. These mappings are source-reported and may change during beta.
The talent dataset is attributed to Talents Forever under CC BY 4.0. That dataset license is separate from Blizzard's ownership of the icon artwork. The icons identify game talents on this independent fan resource and do not imply Blizzard endorsement.
CLASS & LOCATION ARTWORK
Class icons, class artwork, and location previews are credited to Blizzard Entertainment. Image captions link to the original publisher and retain the context of the artwork or announcement.
World of Warcraft class artwork illustrates the class fantasy. It does not confirm playable races or appearances in Forever. Zone and dungeon images follow their named preview subjects; concept art and announcement images may differ from the released game.
Hearthside Codex is an independent fan resource. The game artwork remains Blizzard's property and is separate from this site's original branding and the talent dataset's attribution.
HOW TO READ THE SITE
An official announcement establishes what Blizzard announced; it does not prove that a planned feature has shipped. Beta observations apply to the build observed and can change. Datamined records may never be enabled. Third-party reports are checked against primary evidence rather than treated as equivalent to it.
We keep contradictory or superseded claims in history instead of silently overwriting them. Dates retain their stated precision: a day-only beta start is never given the clock time of a different event. Each visible evidence panel shows the claim, status, confidence, last verification date, and source section.
