Alterac palace

The Kingdom of Alterac had its own palace, nested in its capital of Alterac City. It housed the Perenolde family, which had its own personal guard of twenty soldiers in addition to the standing military garrison.

The palace had its own map room, that also doubled as a war room. An impressive tapestry-map covered its far wall. It showed Alterac from edge to edge, with towns and forts picked out in silver thread and the building itself in gold. King Perenolde murdered a messenger from the Alliance here before hiding his body in the garderobe.

After the Second War, the traitorous king was placed under house arrest by Alliance authorities, confining him to his palace and the rest of his family to close watch. A party of orcs from the Horde of Draenor eventually infiltrated the palace, killing its defenders so they could access the imprisoned king.

In modern times, the palace houses the Crushridge ogre leader Mug'thol after his rebellion from the Forsaken. It is the only relatively intact building left in the city's ruins.

• The palace was represented by a Castle building in Warcraft II, was said to be a castle in Tides of Darkness, and is represented by a barracks model in World of Warcraft since there is no intact keep model.
• Deathwing was said to be as large as the palace in his draconic form.
