Shadowfang Keep Rethilgore Razorclaw the Butcher Baron Silverlaine Commander Springvale Odo the Blindwatcher Fenrus the Devourer Wolf Master Nandos Archmage Arugal Shadowfang Keep is a haunted castle fort in southern Silverpine Forest, near Pyrewood Village. It is the base of operations for the evil Archmage Arugal and his worgen progeny. Pyrewood Village is shadowed to the north by Shadowfang Keep, once a bastion of Alliance power but now the dark residence of a mad former mage of the Kirin Tor. The worgen that stalk the Keep, as well as the cursed villagers of Pyrewood are the doings of this madman - Arugal. During the Third War, Arugal made these Worgen as allies but they could not be controlled and turned on him and the other soldiers. He went mad after this and now accepts them as his "children." His worgen run rampant throughout much of the forest. Sorcerer Ashcrombe and Deathstalker Adamant, both sent to Shadowfang Keep to investigate Argual's actions, are held as prisoners in the keep. Upon slaying the first boss, Rethilgore <The Cell Keeper>, they can be freed (or killed) and enable access to the rest of the instance.
