Scholomance



Scholomance—the infamous located in the dark and foreboding crypts beneath Caer Darrow—trains new necromancers for the Cult of the Damned. Once owned by the noble Barov family, Caer Darrow fell into ruin following the Second War. As the wizard Kel'thuzad enlisted followers for his Cult of the Damned, he would often promise immortality in exchange for serving the Lich King. The Barov family fell to Kel'thuzad's charismatic influence and donated the keep and its crypts to the Scourge. The cultists then killed the Barovs and turned the ancient crypts into a school for necromancy known as the Scholomance. Though Kel'thuzad or Ras Frostwinger no longer reside in the crypts, devoted cultists and instructors still remain: at their head resides Darkmaster Gandling, a particularly sadistic and insidious practitioner of necromantic magic.
