Arugal's summoning brought the ravenous worgen into the world of Azeroth. Frustrated by their lack of progress (and against the advice of his peers) the Archmage, Arugal elected to summon extra-dimensional entities to bolster Dalaran's diminishing ranks. When the wizards of Dalaran died in battle, they would rise soon after - adding their former might to the growing Scourge. Following this, the only denizens of the keep in the years to follow were the Crown Chemical Co., who used the location as a base of operations for their schemes.ĭuring the Third War, the wizards of the Kirin Tor battled against the undead armies of the Scourge. Īrugal was eventually defeated and beheaded by agents of the Horde. After it was discovered that Arugal had transformed him into a worgen, the Forsaken assassinated the council. The Forsaken became increasingly suspicious of their activities, especially after the disappearance of one of their apothecaries, Apothecary Berard. They were led by the Pyrewood Council, who were all servants of Arugal. During the day, they were human and willing to provide supplies to Alliance travelers, though the keep was never friendly to these adventurers. Īfter sometime, the entire Pyrewood Village was turned to the worgen curse, turning into the beasts at night. Protected by his worgen minions as well as the ghosts of the fallen Baron and his household, Arugal served his master in converting most of the forest's remaining denizens to the curse, with locations such as Deep Elem Mine falling as well as Pyrewood. Communing with Alpha Prime, he became a key servant of the Wolf Cult, converting the humans of Silverpine into worgen, namely the Moonrage and Shadowfang packs. Distraught and broken, Arugal accepted the worgen as his children and retreated into the keep and named the place Shadowfang Keep. After this, Arugal's worgen ran rampant through Silverpine, eventually overwhelming the keep, killing Baron Silverlaine and his family. The worgen successfully turned the tide against the Scourge, but became uncontrollable, attacking the Gilnean military. With the sorcerer's knowledge, Arugal summoned the worgen with the blessings of Genn Greymane and against the advice of the Kirin Tor. When the Scourge washed over Lordaeron, the Gilnean Archmage, Arugal, investigated the research of the mage Ur. Landen Stilwell was still here years later. Jordan Stilwell and Daphne Stilwell used to live and work here before the Third War. The lord of the castle was Baron Silverlaine and his forces were led by Commander Springvale, a paladin of the Silver Hand. It was the home to the lords of Pyrewood Village, who answered to Darius Crowley's family. Shadowfang Keep was previously a part of the kingdom of Gilneas. By the end of the war, the Bloodfang pack had taken control of the keep, moving most of its artifacts to Fenris Keep to be guarded closely. The keep was then occupied by the Scourge remnants and followers of the renegade Gilnean nobleman Vincent Godfrey, traitor to both his homeland and to the Forsaken who returned him from death.ĭuring the Fourth War, the keep was in the hands of the Forsaken, who have captured it and are using it as a bio-weapons facility to wage war against Gilneas. It was named for the forces of its former master, the demented Archmage Arugal, who wrested the keep from Baron Silverlaine with his worgen " children" and held it until he was defeated by a group of Horde heroes. Shadowfang Keep is a haunted keep not far from the borders of Gilneas in southern Silverpine Forest, on a high bluff overlooking Pyrewood Village. Once the domain of the archmage Arugal, the keep's new lord and master is the renegade forsaken Lord Vincent Godfrey.
