Medivh hid this corruption behind a lavish lifestyle, inviting many nobles to party down in Karazhan. Ĭorrupting Medivh more and more, Sargeras eventually opened the Dark Portal to allow the orcs to wage war upon the kingdoms of Azeroth, while also himself murdering the suspecting members of the Order of Tirisfal. The spy Keanna was also present in the tower, where she was staying up at the guest chambers. Among their agents sent inside, Koren the blacksmith was under their pay, and pretended to serve Medivh. The Violet Eye, a secret sect founded by the Kirin Tor of Dalaran, was later assigned to keep an eye on Karazhan and to spy on the Guardian and his works.
The spies, however, always left empty-handed - Medivh made sure of it. Īt the Council of Six's behest, the Kirin Tor sent agents to infiltrate Karazhan and spy on the young Medivh, taking parts in his parties in the magical tower. But another time, Medivh also revealed himself to be very influenced by the demon when he cursed a group of charlatan merchants who tried to sell him fraudulent magical artifacts by transforming them into the Dark Riders. This led him to sometimes being sick and indisposed, and as such a group of would-be clerics once came to the tower to minister to his needs, but also to steal some of his valuables.

Īs the structure was built atop a nexus of potent ley lines, the energies that coursed through Karazhan sometimes warped reality in the region. Aegwynn's son Medivh eventually took up residence in Karazhan, but mused that the explosion and the construction only happened because he would eventually arrive. The tower acted both as a refuge from the council and as a conduit for the potent ley lines in the region, through which Aegwynn could siphon power as needed. The tower was built in secret by the Guardian Aegwynn using Aluneth around 600 years before the First War, after she grew increasingly paranoid and hostile to her fellow members in the Council of Tirisfal - a result of the dark influence that the spirit of Sargeras was exerting over her. Karazhan's history begins with an explosion that carved out Deadwind Pass and weakened the fabric of reality in the region, which was caused by Sataiel draining the land of life with Ulthalesh, the Deadwind Harvester.

The tower is vast, dangerous, with ghosts everywhere, and where some of the world's most powerful and dangerous artifacts are stored, brought for years by the Dark Riders. As befitting his title, the Last Guardian of Tirisfal had amassed a vast collection of writings and artifacts that dwarfs even that of the Kirin Tor. It is impossible to set eyes upon Karazhan without reflecting on the dark saga of its master. But recently, Karazhan has reawakened - an evil presence has taken the tower as its own, its halls crawling with spirits and demons, and with the Shade of Medivh, his power being so great that his magic still echoes through the halls of Karazhan.
