Nethergarde

Nethergarde Keep is a dam holding back the evils of a blighted land. It was built by the Archmage Khadgar, who led an expedition into Draenor long ago and was lost. The mages who occupy it today serve in honor of his memory. This medium-sized keep sits at the very north of the Blasted Lands, guarding the sole road into the region. Its mages and warriors have given up fun for duty and a constant struggle against demons and ogres. Some may think they are losing, but they continue to fight to protect the portal and the rest of Azeroth from Lord Kazzak’s forces. However, the Keep’s greatest problem is not the threat from the outside but the apparent threat from inside. Thas’ranan and Lordenson share leadership, the first leading the mages and the second the warriors. They are rarely at odds, but when they are, the other inhabitants make themselves scarce as the sparks fly. The Keep’s people are a solitary bunch under a great deal of stress. The only building for miles, the Keep stands stark and alone by the road. Warriors man the walls at all times, watching for movement to welcome ambassadors or food trains from Stormwind, to turn back travelers, or to mount a defense against ogres or demons. A portion of the Mage Tower within Nethergarde Keep was at one time the Labratory of Lashela Alania but now lays deserted.
