Raven Hill Cemetery
Raven Hill Cemetery is the sprawling graveyard located north of the Alliance controlled town of Raven Hill in Duskwood. The cemetery is crawling with scores of undead as well as massive spiders and gangs of grave robbers who will attack anyone interrupting their morbid tasks. The hill in the northwest corner of the cemetery is Forlorn Rowe, once the home of Morbent Fel. Through the cemetery, the undead Mor'Ladim patrols the cemetery and spells certain doom for adventurers he catches unaware.
At the northeast corner, past the quarter of the cemetery containing the entrance to Dawning Woods Catacombs, were the small shack of the Hermit Abercrombie, but since the Cataclysm he relocated closer to Darkshire to Beggar's Haunt.[1]
The cemetery wasn't always so big, growing to dominate much of the area only after the region's corruption by dark forces. It is also currently abandoned, but wasn't always as such. When Morgan Ladimore came back from the Third War and saw the grave of his wife and children, he wept and murdered a trio of the cemetery's attendants.[2]
At the time of the third invasion of the Burning Legion, the few remaining followers of the Cult of Forgotten Shadows were lingering at the Raven Hill Cemetery, near the grave of their leader, Natalie Seline.[3] The Conclave later sent here the High Priest to restore the cult. After her spirit was pulled from the Void and restored to her body, Natalie and the cultists traveled to the Netherlight Temple.[4]
Following Morbent Fel's defeat, the Torch of Holy Flame has been placed by Commander Ladimore in front of the necromancer's home to dispelling dark enchantments and keeping the undead docile in the cemetery.[5]
Some time after the Fourth War, a necromancer came to the cemetery to steal and corrupt the holy torch, her army of undead then left Raven Hill Cemetery towards Darkshire, before being stopped by Mathias Shaw and Flynn Fairwind who brought back the purified holy torch to make the undead docile again.[5]
