The lower half of the Keep.

Wintergarde Keep is the main Alliance base in Dragonblight, serving as the headquarters for the 7th Legion. The fortress is under siege by the Scourge forces that had taken surrounding village, while Naxxramas defiantly hovers in the skies outside of the keep.

The keep is well-protected behind strong walls and cannon towers. It is made up of barracks and an arcane sanctum.

Background

While the keep was built after the Alliance expeditionary forces entered Northrend in order to fight the Lich King,^[1] it seems part of the village was already there - the base's commanders weren't aware of the existence of Wintergarde Mausoleum.^[2]

The Carrion Fields were previously known as Wintergarde Village^[3]. It was led by Mayor Godfrey and its town hall is currently flooded by the undead.

This base is home to the current only known high elf arcane sanctum.
