Terisa Laign

Terisa Laign was an undead in the service of the Burning Legion, under Apoclyon the Corruptor. An ancient undead, the House of Laign were the original rulers of Arath'al many generations ago, under the Arathorian Empire. This bloodline continued into the early days of Stromgarde, ending with Terisa Laign, whom died without heir, as a result, it fell to a cousin family, whom had long since abandoned the name Laign, and ended the House's lineage. Her inability to have an heir haunted Terisa through her lifetime, going through several husbands and many miscarriages.

She was found to have begun to pray to dark forces to allow her to become pregnant, though when this was discovered, Terisa was dragged out by her own servitors and hung atop the rafters for her heresy. These same dark forces returned for Terisa ages later, Apoclyon's forces raiding her ancient burial site.



Little more than a husk when she was found, the Legion's magic revitalized her almost completely, allowing her to take her place at Apoclyon's side. Reborn as an immortal as an undead, she had no need for heirs. She needed only to now reclaim her seat, Arath'al, and aspired to restore Arathor in her dark lord's name. Leading the undead from Riverton, Terisa was a potent warlock.

Terisa led the siege upon Sentinel's Watch in the Northfold Peaks, though she was unable to claim the outpost for the Legion. Her attack was enough to severely destroy the majority of the defending forces, but she was ultimately defeated by the Blades of Greymane and Sons of Strom forces that arrived to reinforce the outpost. While her magic was enough to severely harm the outpost, she was ultimately beheaded, and her undead fully slain.
