Caer Darrow

In the middle of Darrowmere Lake is a solitary island: The Isle of Darrow. The keep of Caer Darrow, perhaps the oldest human monument in the world, stands upon this isle. The people of Caer Darrow survived within their small town for several months after the fall of Lordaeron. When the Scourge invaded Andorhal however, a large host attacked Caer Darrow. Aided by troops from the Scholomance, it was then that the town finally came to an end.

Since its fall, the island and surrounding lake have become lifeless and still. Only meager fish are still able to survive in the murky waters and the towering fortress seems to suck hope itself from the surrounding air. Every year or so new students can be seen entering the manor, or graduates grimly sulking out.

Few know what lies within the ruins, but the spirits of many of the island's inhabitants remain, seeking justice for the monstrous wrongs committed there. Initially, the spirits will hide themselves from the party except for Magistrate Marduke who will attempt to determine the adventurers' reason for setting foot on the accursed island. See "The Specters of Caer Darrow" for descriptions of the town's ghosts.

The Keep

Perched atop the northern bluffs of the Isle of Darrow is the Keep of Caer Darrow. While a shadow of its former self, its faded facade still casts a dark shadow over the town below. Outside the structure, wagons and crates emblazoned with the insignia of the Scourge are scattered about. While there are signs of necromantic activity, the entrance of the Keep seems to be currently abandoned.

Once inside, the hall forks. To the right leads to the upper floors of the keep. These forgotten halls house only bones and rats. There are a few signs of necromantic activity found here and there but, just like the entrance it seems abandoned.

The left fork leads down to the lower levels of the keep and within them the ancestral crypts of the family of Barov. Unlike the rest of the keep, these crypts are currently in use. Within in them lies the Scholomance.

Descending down into these crypts leads first to a thick dark iron gate. On the other side is the Ossuary.

1. The Reliquary

The shallowest tombs underneath Caer Darrow are known as the Reliquary. Citizens of the town and distant relatives of the Barov family are interred here. In these chambers, the Cult of the Damned established a library where new recruits are taught their first, sometimes fatal, lessons.

1b. The Library

The western entrance of the Library leads out to a double staircase descending into the chamber. The entirety of the chamber can be seen from the top of the staircase. Wooden tables and bookshelves the walls holding the numerous magical tomes used to teach the students of the dark academy. A dozen or so of these students are currently here. Among the books is In the Shadow of the Light, one of the tomes the Talking Skull has tasked the party with destroying. At the far eastern end of the room is another iron gate through which is a ramp down into the Hall of Illusions.

An imposing iron chandelier hangs over the center of the room, its dozens of candles casting light and shadows out to the edges to the chamber. Directly beneath it is an arcane construct of crystal and iron, the phylactery of Instructor Chillheart. The cold-hearted lich is currently channeling shadowfrost magic into the phylactery along with a small group of her top students. Roll from The Library's Random Encounter Table to determine these students.

Shadow Bolt (Wander's Colossal Book of Shadow Puppets only). Ranged Spell Attack: +7 to hit, range 120 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d10) necrotic damage

2. Hall of Illusions

A dimly lit ramp patrolled by a single Risen Guard leads down from the Reliquary into the Hall of Illusions. The Talking Skull will be hesitant to enter the room, but will follow the party nonetheless.

Green light emanating from braziers throughout the hall gives the chamber a sickly glow. The eastern half of the room is divided by two rows of four square columns. Connecting the columns are multitiered stone slabs covered in skeletal remains. On one of these slabs is Kel'Thuzad's Dark Magic, one of the tomes the Talking Skull wishes to see destroyed.

Two pairs of Reanimated Corpses shamble mindlessly along the northern and southern walls of the chamber. Between the two rows of columns is a seven-foot-tall candle made of green wax. A pair of Candlestick Mages stand next to it, channeling its unholy light into the nearby skeletons. Another Candlestick Mage draws power from an identical candle in the center of the western half of the room.

Once the Candlestick Mages are defeated and their candles put out, the braziers in the hall will shift from green to dark violet. Between two of them at the far western end of the room, the specter of Jandice Barov, daughter of Lord Alexei Barov, will materialize and challenge any intruders.

Jandice Barov

"Ooh, it takes some real stones to challenge the Mistress of Illusion. Well? Show me what you got!"

Course: Advanced Illusions — Barov's spirit lurked in the recesses of Scholomance for years, but now she has taken a more active role in educating the next generation of magi. Her vast knowledge of illusions has made her both a valued educator and a dangerous opponent to anyone foolish enough to draw her ire.

Jandice Barov (marked by a blue skull on the map) is a talented illusionist who prefers to confound her foes with a thousand arcane cuts rather than attacking directly.

When Jandice Barov is defeated, the party can loot Phantasmal Drape.

3. Chamber of Summoning

Stepping into the Chamber of Summoning, the adventurers witness a frantic battle unfolding. In the center of the stone chamber is Lilian Voss, now wielding the Runeblades of the Anointed, currently locked in furious battle with 5 (2d4) Boneguards. Four Boneweavers are spread through the room, summoning more Boneguards from the eight bone piles arranged in a square around the chamber (see map for specific locations).

At the far side of the room hovers the Headmaster of this vile academy, Darkmaster Gandling, throwing fire and taunts at Lilian Voss. A swirling shield of shadow and bones surrounds him making him immune to all damage and conditions.

Upon entering the room, the Talking Skull will identify the Darkmaster for the party and urge them to kill him. Lilian, recognizing the adventurers, tells them to focus on taking down the Boneweavers before they are completely overrun. Each time a Boneweaver is defeated Gandling divides their souls among the remaining ones, instantly recharging their Weave Bones action.

Once all the Boneweavers have been defeated, Darkmaster Gandling flees with Lilian Voss in hot pursuit, sealing the gate behind them. Before the party can follow, a storm of rust and bone forms in the middle of the room violently arranging itself into Rattlegore who immediately charges the party.

While Rattlegore is active, coming within 5 ft. of a bone pile will cause a non-undead creature to gain Bone Armor. Each bone pile can only give this effect once. When Rattlegore is defeated, all Bone Armor effects immediately end.

Once the unholy guardian is defeated, the Talking Skull will frantically open the gate for the adventurers to pursue the Darkmaster deeper into the Scholomance.

4. Butcher's Sanctum

Past the Chamber of Summoning is a cavernous chamber whose tall stone walls are stained scarlet. At first blush, one might assume the red hue is due to the hundreds of crimson colored candles burning around the room. Then comes the horrific smell. Strewn about the room are piles of rotting flesh and mangled corpses, all leaving pools of blood adding to a sickening mural on the stone floor. Scattered amongst the carnage are a number of blood-stained books and diagrams including Forbidden Rites and Other Rituals Necromantic, one of the tomes the Talking Skull has designated for destruction.

The creators and creations of this foul art wander the gore-soaked room. Roll from Butcher's Sanctum's Random Encounter Table twice to determine the current occupants, once for the northern end of the room and again for the southern end. These two groups can be engaged separately. Doctor Theolen Krastinov can only appear once and is always in the southern end of his sanctum.

5. The Bone Vault

The Bone Vault is a massive ossuary deep within the Barov Family Crypts. Within are the remains of distant relatives and other nobles loyal to the Barovs. Their bones fill the towering walls, reaching over 60 ft. into the air.

It is in this lofty chamber where the party catches up to Darkmaster Gandling, still protected by his shield of bone and shadow, and Lilian Voss currently locked in combat. The entrance of the adventurers distracts Lilian just long enough for the Darkmaster to gain the upper hand, binding her with dark magic and raising her up into the air.

"Did you forget, girl? I am the Darkmaster! I command the undead! Now turn your lovely runeblades on our guests, and fetch me their bones!"

Gandling breaks the undead assassin's will, turning her against her former allies. During the battle, the necromancer remains in the room taunting the party as Lilian turns her unrelenting blades against them.

Runeblades of the Anointed. Lilian's attacks are magical and any creatures she kills cannot be resurrected.

Unwilling Vessel. When Lilian is reduced to 0 hit points, Lilian's Soul materializes above her corpse.

Actions

Multiattack. Lilian Voss makes two attacks.

Shadow Shiv. Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (1d6+6) piercing damage. Hit or miss, all creatures within 5 feet of the target must succeed on a DC 14 Wisdom saving throw or take 7 (2d6) necrotic damage.

Death's Grasp. All hostile targets within 40 ft. must succeed on a DC 14 Strength saving throw or are pulled into melee range of Lilian.

Dark Blaze. A 10 ft. circle of dark flames pools beneath a hostile target within 60 ft. When a creature starts its turn in the circle or enters it for the first time that turn, it takes 14 (4d6) fire damage. The flames burn for one minute before dissipating.

Lilian Voss

"I can't... fight him..."

Course: Reeducation — The undead Lilian Voss strangled her father--a high priest of the Scarlet Crusade--for treachery, and then started a rampage that eventually led her into the shadowy corridors of Scholomance. Rather than destroy the intruder, Darkmaster Gandling graciously decided to show Voss how to embrace her grim fate. The anger and runeblades she had once directed at the school are now turned toward Gandling's enemies.

Lilian Voss (marked by a violet skull on the map) is a skilled and determined assassin. Neither death nor undeath will stop her quest for vengeance.

When Lilian Voss is defeated, the party may loot the Runeblades of the Anointed. The runeblades are currently broken and must be reforged by a skilled blacksmith (such as Magnus Frostwake) before they can be used.

6. The Viewing Room

The party enters the top of a multitiered lecture hall. A narrow set of stairs descends through the three raised levels in the room to the ground floor. Carved into the walls and ceiling of this chamber are thousands of stone skulls, their green glowing eyes illuminating the room and keeping a stern eye on any within. On the raised platforms are 3 (2d2) wooden lab tables, covered in lab equipment, books, and notes. At each table are a pair of Scholomance students, brewing fiery red concoctions in preparation for any intruders.

At the front of the lecture hall stands Professor Slate behind a table filled with many different potions. Behind him is a large bookcase filled with tomes and a huge portrait of Jandice Barov, from when she was still alive. The Dark Grimoire, one of the books the Talking Skull wishes to see destroyed, is on this bookshelf.

Floating within Professor Slate's largest beaker is the Talking Skull. It has found itself in hot water, or acid rather, having been captured by the fiendish potion master.

Once the Talking Skull has been saved it shakes itself dry, sending sizzling acid droplets around the room. Once it has recollected itself, the Talking Skull opens up the gate at the front of the room. Through which is a ramp descending into the Headmaster's Retreat.

7. Headmaster's Retreat

The deepest chambers of the Scholomance were once elaborate tombs for the Barov Family. When the crypts were converted into a necromantic academy, these tombs became the personal lairs of the school's most vile faculty and monstrosities, including members of the former ruling family. With the decline of the Scourge, many of these horrors no longer reside within the tombs leaving only the headmaster to manage the academy. Despite their absence, their dark influence can still be felt by the current inhabitants.

Darkmaster Gandling has retreated to this place to recover from Lilian Voss' final attack. Shadowflame magic swirls around the main room in a violent torrent as the dark necromancer desperately rips the souls from any students unfortunate enough to be here to fuel his vile ritual.

The adventurers will immediately enter initiative when they enter this room. Darkmaster Gandling will threaten and taunt them but will not attack until they attack him, instead preferring to continue channeling his ritual. At the start of his turn, Darkmaster Gandling will deal 3 necrotic damage plus 3 fire damage to all hostile targets in the room until he is attacked.

7a. Upper Study

The ramp down from the Viewing Room leads onto the northern side of the Upper Study. A stone balcony with angular iron railing wraps around the square chamber, allowing any on it to look down into the Headmaster's Study beneath them. Small multitiered tables sit in the outer corners of the balcony, each with dozens of candles burning on them. A massive iron wrought chandelier hangs over the center of the chamber above where Darkmaster Gandling is currently channeling his ritual. A narrow staircase on the northern side of the room leads down to the lower level.

Three side chambers, their iron gates currently magically sealed, are connected to this balcony. To the west is the Coven, to the south is the Hall of the Damned, and the Hall of Secrets is to the east. The gate for each room is sealed until all Failed Students inside are defeated or the Talking Skull opens it by succeeding on a DC 15 Arcana check (it has +5 Arcana).

7b. Headmaster's Study

Descending down the stone steps from the Upper Study leads into the Headmaster's Study. The Darkmaster, himself, currently stands atop a deep purple rug of Dalaran design frantically channeling swirling shadowflame magic in an attempt to rebuild his barrier before the party arrives. Around him are the desiccated remains of the students foolish enough to draw the necromancer's ire or unlucky enough to be here for his hasty return. Deep alcoves filled with bones cover the stone walls

Mirroring the Upper Study, three side chambers with magically sealed gates are connected to this level. To the west is the Vault of the Ravenian, to the south is the Barov Family Vault, and the Shadow Vault is to the east. Identical to the upper chambers, the gate for each room is sealed until all Failed Students inside are defeated or the Talking Skull opens it by succeeding on a DC 15 Arcana check.

7c. The Coven

Through the western gate in the Upper Study is the Coven. The floor of the chamber is slightly recessed with a pair of steep stairs leading to the entrance. The room is unadorned except for two purple banners with green flaming skulls emblazoned on them. An eerie purple light seems to glow from every stone within.

This vault was once the lair of Instructor Malicia, a high elf necromancer who joined the Scourge of her volition. Vestiges of her magic empower the 3 Failed Students in this room, giving them the Call of the Grave ability.

7d. Hall of the Damned

Through the southern gate in the Upper Study is the Hall of the Damned. Dozens of candles, red and white, illuminate this room casting shadows across long stone plinths built through the chamber. Atop these platforms are piles of rotting flesh, brutally mutilated.

This was originally the operating room of Doctor Theolen Krastinov before moving his activities to the Butcher's Sanctum. The 3 Failed Students in this room wield his wicked tools, gaining the Rusted Blades ability.

7e. Hall of Secrets

Through the eastern gate in the Upper Study is the Hall of Secrets. Ornamented stone plinths are spaced evenly along the walls of the chamber with tattered dark violet banners hung above them. Burning braziers in the corners of the room cast a dim violet light.

Lorekeeper Polkelt once resided within this chamber. The 3 Failed Students in this room have been imbued with his acidic blood giving them the Corrosive Acid ability.

7f. Vault of the Ravenian

Through the western gate in the Headmaster's Study is the Vault of the Ravenian. The musty chamber is adorned with green lamps, rugs, and fraying banners. In the back of the vault are three open pools of chest deep water.

While the eponymous creature no longer resides within the chamber, the 2 Failed Students here are molded in his image, granting them the Monstrous Strength ability.

7g. Barov Family Vault

Through the southern gate in the Headmaster's Study is the Barov Family Vault, the tomb of Lord Alexei Barov. His massive sarcophagus with a statue of him laying on top of it is the centerpiece of the room. Behind the sarcophagus is a pool of waist-deep water.

Lord Alexei Barov was raised as a death knight and part of his power has been passed to the 3 Failed Students in this room, granting them the Unholy Aura ability.

7h. The Shadow Vault

Through the eastern gate in the Headmaster's Study is the Shadow Vault, the tomb of Lady Illucia Barov. The room has flooded submerging a number of sarcophagi in ankle deep water. The raised alcove in the back of the chamber which housed the remains of Illucia is still above water.

While Lady Barov no longer haunts her own tomb, her influence remains giving the 3 Failed Students in this room the Mind Shriek ability.

Vengeance is Theirs

"Behold my true form. I owe you a debt, one which I can never repay. But, I thank you for lifting the curse off of my family. Kel'Thuzad, the Lich King, and now Darkmaster Gandling -- all are dead. Perhaps now I too can find some semblance of peace." — Spirit of Lord Alexei Barov

Once the Headmaster is defeated, the Talking Skull will reveal its true identity, the Spirit of Lord Alexei Barov. He will thank the party and lead them to the Barov Family Vault. Inside is a small fortune and the deed to Caer Darrow. Having no need for either, he offers both to the adventurers. His vengeance served and his family avenged, he then dissipates, leaving the party to find their own way out of the labrynthian crypts.

As the adventurers pass through the Bone Vault, they may notice that Lilian Voss is nowhere to be found. What became of her is a mystery for now.

Ascending from the tunnels beneath Caer Darrow, the party reemerges atop the bluff overlooking the rest of Caer Darrow. It's subtle, but the veil of despair that once gripped the island seems to have lost its strength. Looking beyond the shores of Lake Darrowmere, the adventurers can see the Western Plaguelands. While the healing of these lands has been a slow process, patches of green grass and new saplings now dot the scarred landscape. The actions of the party within Scholomance will certainly contribute to this healing. Caer Darrow and the rest of the Western Plaguelands will one day be free of the blight of the Scourge.
