History

WoW Icon update.png This section concerns content related to the original World of Warcraft.

Banehollow in Felwood.

Located in Shadow Hold in Felwood, Lord Banehollow was guarded by a wide variety of warlocks, demons, and his personal attendant Ur'dan. Lord Hel'nurath is his rival. He had in his possession Xorothian stardust which was needed by Gorzeeki Wildeyes. He had a warlock adventurer disguise as a member of the Shadow Council and go to Banehollow to obtain it.[1] To gain his favor, Banehollow sent the adventurer to kill his former servant Ulathek, who was actually a spy for Lord Hel'nurath on Xoroth, and to get his heart, planning to eat it.[2] With the task done, Banehollow allowed the adventurer buy the stardust from Ur'dan.[3]

Wanting to dismantle Shadow Hold, the druid Farlus Wildheart of the Emerald Circle worked with adventurers to eliminate the leaders of the area. The druid sent them to kill Shadow Lord Fel'dan, who the dreadlord viewed as an instrument to prepare the land for another invasion of the Burning Legion. Once the orc was slain, the next target was Lord Banehollow himself.[4]

Years later, Banehollow disguised himself as Madam Shadow on the Darkmoon Island and lured new warlocks to his side in order to obtain their souls.[6] He had a bargain with Phineas, who delivered him the warlocks, but eventually the dreadlord killed him for his servitude.[7] After obtaining some of the souls, the adventurer revealed the true identity of Madam Shadow, and the nathrezim retreated to the Tainted Scar in the Blasted Lands, where the adventurer and Initiate Oman defeated Banehollow, with his last words being that he'll be back.[8]

In the RPG

Lord Banehollow, something of a demonic politician (and thus beyond even a normal concept of evil), serves as the emissary between the Burning Legion's remaining leaders and the Shadow Council in Shadow Hold in Felwood. He keeps Fel'dan under watchful eye.[9]
