The Dragon Isles are a group of island which is, so far, only represented as a piece of unnamed art in The Art of World of WarcraftAoWoW 140, and as set of unfinished render models hidden in WoW data files called 'Dragon Isles'. The model was in-game during the beta testing in a zone called Designer Island. The art was also used in the original WoW credits.
It is speculated that these might have something to do with Naga, and their capital Nazjatar, although Nazjatar is supposed to be built underwater, not on an island. However, it could as easily be speculated that they have, in fact, something to do with the Dragons (hence the name), and perhaps be home of one of the Dragonflights.
The Dragon Isles most significant feature are shells of monstrous sea creatures. It has also been speculated that, because of their monstrous size and resemblance to what can be found at Master's Glaive, they might have something to do with Old Gods.
The Warcraft RPG book Shadows & Light might hold a clue, one of its short stories was about a group of adventures that had plans to build a device to raise Nazjatar to the surface of the ocean. It raises the question of whether the palace could be brought to the surface. If they managed, it may have become the island in the concept art. Similarity to the dead old god in Master's Glaive hints too to nagas, since they were allies of Old Gods, who were behind their new form
