s that the tower, where you take some quests for the Black Qiraji Resonating Crystal legendary questline? Or I'm wrong?
If that's the place, then no nerubians there, I guess?

Well, the tower's architecture hints towards Silithus...

Shifting sand is renamed by me to post this tower model. actually i determined to export and edit it after seeing this tower at Cenarion Hold. also it use the same model as the tower near the position of map entrance of silithus.

Hello! I've downloaded your model and I can offer my review:

You are using an asset that has been added in Reforged update, which crashes the editor if the map is saved with this model placed and since it can be used mostly as a doodad it will be always placed on the map:
- Please upload a version of the model that doesn't contain any reforged additions and I will set this to Approved.

Optional: you can attach a camera to the model easily using Magos Model Editor

i checked used textures and only the team glow texture and flare.blp are from WC3. Both of them exist in pre-1.30 WC3 path with low res version. I'm wondering which part only belongs to Reforged-only assets. I will test it later in classic.

Tested in classic graphic version of 1.35
load successfully, Game doesnt crash.
I haven't tested it in pre-1.30 WC3 environment.

my bad, the crashes had nothing to do with the tower

please attach a camera portrait and I will set it to approved

can be done easily in less than a minute with Magos or Retera
