Raven Hill
Last wiki revision 2023-08-19
Raven Hill is an abandoned town located in western Duskwood, north of Addle's Stead and south of the Raven Hill Cemetery. Though once all but empty, several worgen have taken up residence here in their search for a cure to the worgen curse.
Until recently, the village held only a few living persons - Jitters, and Bliztik the goblin vendor, who could be found hiding on the top floor of one of the buildings.
It was also haunted by the Unseen.
Some Gilnean worgen now reside here in tents and wagons, including Oliver Harris, who is trying to catch and test solutions on mindless Nightbane worgen.
During the Burning Legion's third invasion of Azeroth, cultists of the Veiled Hand led by Felcaller Whitley took shelter in an abandoned building.
During the Fourth War, Tess Greymane found Vassandra Stormclaw here seeking a cure to the worgen curse.
During the war against the Primalists, Count Clessington bought a manor at Raven Hill. As part of the investigation of the theft of the Drakefire Amulet, a Stormwind champion entered the manor and found Cecilia Clessington and her attendants. As they questioned Cecilia about the amulet, the attendants overheard the question and quickly attacked the champion, but they were defeated. It turned out, the manor had been bought to keep Cecilia away. Outside the manor, Vanessa VanCleef awaited them and questioned Cecilia further.

This ghost town once took pride in its honor for the dead. It held a mortuary school that graduated the finest embalmers in Azeroth. Then the undead rose up and murdered most of the inhabitants. After struggling to combat what had once been their loved ones, most townspeople gave up and fled east to Darkshire. The Defias Brotherhood tried to set up camp in the town in the aftermath of the exodus, but even they could not take the constant attacks by the undead. Some citizens remained, including a master embalmer known as, who lived near Raven Hill cemetery until recently. A serious man, he worked both to stay alive and to stop the undead - or so he claimed. Raven Hill is possibly the origin of the massive Black Riders, huge beings that suddenly appear with hellhounds at their feet to run down frantic travelers. Some nights they skirt the perimeter of Darkshire, howling loudly.
In Warcraft: Orcs & Humans, there was a town named Sunnyglade which was situated where Raven Hill is located in World of Warcraft. They might be one and the same, as is the case with Darkshire having once been Grand Hamlet.
