Crusaders' Pinnacle (or Crusaders' Spire)[1] is a small mountain plateau northwest of Argent Vanguard and north of Dalaran in Icecrown. Once controlled by the Scourge, it was taken over by the Argent Crusade, who built Justice Keep there. Since then, the area is supporting a mailbox, vendor, and a flight master, as well as several quests. While there's no innkeeper the inside does act as an inn.
History
Prior to the The Battle For Crusaders' Pinnacle, the area was undeveloped, except for a Scourge tent, a few dead trees, and a platform.
Pressing their advantage after they defeated the Scourge at Scourgeholme, the Argent Crusade assaulted Crusaders' Pinnacle, and held the position against repeated Scourge counterattacks. Having sanctified the once-blighted ground, the Argent Crusade began construction of a new fortification, Justice Keep, atop the Pinnacle. The base would mark the Crusade's establishment inside Icecrown, and stand in direct defiance to the Lich King and the Scourge.[2][3]

Notes and trivia
- Crusaders' Pinnacle is linked with the subzones Valley of Echoes, Argent Vanguard, Scourgeholme, The Breach, and Pit of Fiends.
- Prior to the phasing of the area, flying over the platform will dismount the player as if you were to enter a building.
- "Justice Keep" was originally a name given to what became Valiance Keep by the time Wrath of the Lich King was released.
- The name can be seen while doing the quest [20-30] Argent Crusade, We Are Leaving!. Argent Soldiers told to retreat sometimes talk about "retreating to Justice Keep", even though using the in-game timeline, it isn't even built yet.
- The name can be seen while doing the quest
