Barony of Greenard

= History = The Barony of Greenard, formerly known as the Duchy of Greenard, was a lush and green environment located in Deadwind Pass. The Barony sits on the lands surronding a massive spring that provided nutrients that were infused with the arcane energy that diffused from the nexus of Karazhan.

The first humans to settle those lands was the House of Cawstark, who settled those lands and built a mighty castle, afforded to them by the wealth and prosperity of Greenard. Their castle rested in the middle island of the spring and named it Castle Edge--for it was on the edge of the spring itself!

This abbundance created peace and prosperity for the Duke Ottoman Cawstark, who ruled those lands until the Second War. However, the dead of Medivh drained much of the life out of the Deadwind Pass, forcing the once great House of Cawstark to abandon their wealth and riches. The once bustling cities and towns have all vanished as the remains of the civilization, crumbled into stone. However, many claim that the voices of the once proud citizens can still be heard as restless spirits now roam their forgotten homes. Yet, the cruelty of fate has no limits for the wealthy Ottoman Castark and his family were forced by the powers of Karazhan to remain in its tower, away from the undead cries of its citizens. Fortunately, they were granted rest from their eternal turmoil when a group of adventurers had slain their spirit during the Legion assault of Karazhan.

Now, all that remains of Greenard is the once sacred spring that still contains its magical powers and the castle that was once tasked with protecting it. Despite this source of power, Greenard and Deadwind Pass have become too dangerous and without enough natural resources to currently warrant anyone to attempt to reclaim the lands for Stormwind.

= Recent events = Reports from The First Regiment revealed the location of the Ogres, specifically an ogre warlock who had acquired an imp that was left over from the Legion attack on Karazhan. Furthermore, it was determined that said Warlock was the leader of the remaining ogres. A section lead by Sergeant Hugo Cornelius Renfield snuck into the castle, retrieved the imp, and slay the powerful Ogre Warlock. However in the course of the battle, the Ogre Warlock had torn out a wall and created a mighty crated in the throne room of Castle Edge.
