Karazhan: The Depths.

Background
The tower of Karazhan is filled with secrets. Even those who have dared to trespass through its shadowy halls have encountered only a fraction of the mystery it holds. For Karazhan is not one tower, but two - beneath the tower is another, extending deep underground. Every hall and chamber of the tower above the surface is replicated below, but inverted, reversed. Why this is so is a mystery none know the answer to - Karazhan is filled with secrets...

When the ley lines were re-aligned at the blue dragonflight's Nexus in Coldarra, the Malevolence was freed to escape Northrend's ley lines. He followed the restored network and fled to the true center of all ley lines on Azeroth - the depths of Karazhan. There, the Malevolence seeks to rise and free itself from the ley line network, escaping into Azeroth proper.

Dungeon Journal
The Malevolence is on the rise in the depths of Karazhan. Its presence infects the dark tower, feeding off the tremendous magical energies of the place, and in turn driving the spirits within the tower to rage. The Dark Riders, the undead horsemen of Karazhan, have been brought under the control of the Malevolence to act as its personal guard. They will stand against anyone who seeks to enter the tower.

An enormous vampire bat that roosts in the basement level of Karazhan.
