Naxxramas: the Fallen Necropolis is an introductory level-90 dungeon, located amidst the fallen Ruins of Naxxramas in Dragonblight. Once the most powerful fortress of the Scourge, it is a crumbling ruin, largely occupied by the Forsaken and besieged by the Alliance. However, the fallen necropolis still holds great danger...


History[]

The mighty Naxxramas was the dreaded hammer of the Scourge. A floating fortress capable of crossing even the Great Sea, no land was safe from the shadow of the necropolis. Ruled by Kel'Thuzad, Naxxramas was both a deadly weapon and seemingly impregnable fortress used against the enemies of the Scourge during the last war. But heroes from the Alliance and the Horde turned the tables against the Scourge and invaded Naxxramas directly, fighting their way to the very heart of the necropolis and destroying it's master, Kel'Thuzad.

Recent history[]

When the Lich King himself finally fell, Naxxramas lost nearly all of its dark magic, and plummeted from the skies to crash into the Killing Fields of Dragonblight. Its ruins were quickly seized by the Forsaken, who turned away any Alliance forces that tried to secure the fallen necropolis for themselves.

The leader of the Forsaken forces at the Ruins of Naxxramas was Chief Plaguebringer Middleton, one of the Forsaken responsible for the crafting of the Forsaken Blight, although he was cleared of all charges of conspiracy in the rebellion orchestrated by Varimathras. Searching through the crumbling ruins of the necropolis, Middleton discovered the lost phylactery of Kel'Thuzad, a treasure that contain the lich's twisted soul. With the phylactery in his possession, Middleton has fallen under the lich's influence, and now schemes to resurrect his master.

Kel'Thuzad's strength increases every time he returns from the veil of death. Should he rise again, his power will be great enough to threaten all of Northrend, and perhaps all of Azeroth.

Navigating the Necropolis[]

The entrance to the dungeon is in the western wall of the Ruins of Naxxramas is Dragonblight. The twisted corridors lead to the original entrance, 4 portals which lead to the four ruined quarters of Naxxramas. After a boss is defeated, a teleporter will activate that will transport players to the next quarter. Once the first four bosses have been defeated, the next teleporter will take players to Frostwyrm Lair.
