Dungeons and Raids
Raid: Sanctum of Domination
This is a 10-boss raid, culminating in a fight against Sylvanas Windrunner.

Domination-themed armor and weapon sets will be available, but this will not be Tier Sets - Link to news item with screenshots.
News item with screenshots: Patch 9.1 Chains of Domination Raid is the Sanctum of Domination
Megadungeon: Tazavesh, the Veiled Market
This is an 8-boss Megadungeon with a Broker Trading City theme.
Will launch as Mythic only, without a Mythic+ version, similar to Operation: Mechagon.
Will be presented in two parts, also like Operation: Mechagon. Second part will feature a heist by a broker who has stolen an artifact through a number of portals, locations, and bosses, including a Pirate Dragon of the Infinite Dragonflight.
Torghast
Tarragrue death counter will be gone, since he is now a boss in Sanctum of Domination.
New layers and/or rewards for Twisting Corridors are being explored, but nothing is ready to announce.
New layers and a completely new aesthetic wing will be added.
Mentioned that there may be a new rating or score system that would give you partial credit/rewards for completing floors, even if you don't complete the Torghast run, but no specifics are available at this time.
New Zone: Korthia, the City of Secrets
New outdoor zone pulled in from the In -Between by The Jailer. This area was once inhabited by the ancient caretakers and protectors of The Shadowlands.
Race between The Jailer and the Covenants to reveal the ancient secrets, origins, and workings of The Shadowlands.
The story lines and quests in Korthia will be at least partly opened by building Renown with your Covenant.
New Korthia dailies will appear, focused either on thwarting the Jailer or discovering new secrets in Korthia.
The Dreadlords will play a role in Korthia. During Korthia activities unlocked by Renown, we will learn more about their story, what they are doing in Korthia, and who they are working for.
Shadowlands Season 2
Increased item levels and season-specific items.
Honor talents will be refreshed, as Blizzard examines lesser-used talents.
New Mythic+ Affix for 9.1 called Domination.
Covenants and Covenant Rewards
Covenants will be working together to defeat The Jailer, which will lead to more and different questlines. There will be new 9.1 Covenant Campaign chapters where the stories will cross over more with other Covenants.
40 more Renown levels will be added. These will unlock the new 9.1 Covenant Campaign chapters, as well as other perks, such as Cosmetic Armor sets, flying, flying mounts, and Covenant Pepes.
The Covenant Campaign 9.1 will open accountwide Shadowlands Pathfinder (see Flying and Pathfinder below). These chapters will open like they did in 9.0, triggered by specific Renown levels.
Power levels of lesser-used Covenant/class combinations will be increased.
Blizzard has no firm plans to change how Covenant swapping currently works, but they realize this is a player issue and are looking for feedback. There may be some changes, as they do not want the system to feel too bad for players.
New Cosmetic Covenant Armor sets will be available to purchase at specific Covenant Renown levels. These new sets can be transmogged onto any armor class - Link to news article with screenshots
