Purgation Isle
Last wiki revision 2022-04-01
Purgation Isle is an island south of the shores of Hillsbrad Foothills, in a shape of a towering spiral. It contains a cemetery and a ruined scout tower. Once haunted by ghosts unable to find peace in death, the island serves as a base of operations for the Stormpike clan and the Bloodfang pack in the region since the Cataclysm.
Prior to the First War, Purgation Isle was a territory of the Kingdom of Kul Tiras.
The island has a mysterious, unknown history. It is haunted by the ghosts of renegade paladins of the Silver Hand, priests of the Church of Light, but also monks and mages, that for some reason were condemned to be banished on the island and since cannot find peace in death. It seems that Kormok is the cause of the isles ghosts as it is said that he delighted in summoning forth the souls of the banished dead.
Since the Cataclysm, the ghosts of the Isle appear to have disappeared and the land has been claimed by members of the Stormpike clan working together with the Bloodfang pack. It should be noted that, though the mobs are Alliance-friendly, no quests or resources exist here for that faction.
During the quests They Will Never Expect This... and Heroes of the Horde!, the island is attacked by Kingslayer Orkus and a Horde adventurer on the frost wyrm Kasha, here to steal Alliance battle plans from Ivar Bloodfang, Balinda Stonehearth and Vanndar Stormpike present to discuss strategies to re-taking Hillsbrad from the Horde. They managed to steal the plans but at the cost of the life of Kingslayer Orkus, fatally injured during the battle.
Purgation Isle is present as part of the Escape from Durnholde Keep Caverns of Time instance. When viewed with a map viewer, the island appears 'new' and looks like it's been updated. However, when in the actual instance, the island is not accessible due to an invisible wall.

- Before patch 1.10, the mobs on the Isle were only level 20-30. After that, the mobs were replaced with 57+ elites, and became part of the Tier 0.5 armor quest.
- The Isle was also a renowned place to farm money, before patch 2.0, due to the fact that the mobs may drop up to 30 silver each.
- The Bloodcurse Isle has the exact same terrain as Purgation Isle, but with different props and colors.
Purgation Isle may be part of the Channel Islands, or even being Zul'Dare.
