WOW Gold - The Scholomance and Stratholme Dungeon in WoW

The Scholomance is housed within a series of crypts that lie beneath the ruined keep of Caer Darrow. Once owned by the noble Barov family, Caer Darrow fell to ruin following the Second War. As the wizard Kel'thuzad enlisted followers for his Cult of the Dammed he would often promise immortality in exchange for serving his Lich King. The cultists then killed the Barovs and turned the ancient crypts into a school for necromancy known as the Scholomance. The powerful lich, Ras Frostwhisper, rules over the site and guards it in the Scourge's name while the mortal necromancer, Darkmaster Ganding, serves as the school's insidious headmaster.

Once the jewel of northern Lordaeron, the city of Stratholme is where Prince Arhas turned against his mentor, Uther Light bringer, and slaughtered hundreds of his own subjects who were believed to have contracted the dreaded plague of undeath. Arthas' downward spiral and ultimate surrender to the Lich King soon followed. The broken city is now inhabited by the undead Scourge-led by the powerful lich, Kel'thuzad. A continent of Scarlet Crusaders, led by Grand Crusader Dathrohan, also holds a portion of the ravaged city. The two sides are locked in constant, violent combat. Those adventurers brave enough to enter Stratholme will be forced to contend with both factions before long. It is said that the city is guarded by three massive watchtowers, as well as powerful necromancers, banshees and abominations. There have also been reports of a malefic Death Knight riding atop an unholy steed-dispensing indiscriminate wrath on all those who venture within the realm of the Scourge.
