{{about||the large building complex|Icecrown Citadel|the raid instance|Icecrown Citadel (instance)}}
'''Crewman Pipewrench''' are level 26 [[goblin]]s that are apart of the crew of ''[[The Zephyr]]''.
 
   
  +
'''Icecrown''', also known as '''Ice Crown'''<ref>"Ice Crown", [[Warcraft III]] map.</ref>, is a [[zone]] composed of mostly [[Icecrown Glacier]] and the immediate area around it. In [[Lands of Mystery]], the whole zone was called "Icecrown Glacier". Icecrown is surrounded by mountains. The ground is neither frozen earth nor covered with snow; it is solid ice. Hence, nothing grows here.

==History==
==Patches and hotfixes==
 
  +
The name of Icecrown became infamous when [[Kil'jaeden]] hurled the [[Lich King]] back into the mortal world. [[Ner'zhul|Ner'zhul's]] prison slammed into the glacier and created the [[Frozen Throne]]. The impact was seen as far away as the [[Grizzly Hills]]. Here the Lich King remained until freed by [[Arthas]], and the two beings merged into Arthas' body. From the [[Icecrown Citadel]], he commands the [[Scourge]].
{{Patch 3.2.0|note=Added}
 
  +
  +
Apparently, troops of the [[Scarlet Crusade]] succeeded in approaching the stronghold during a counter offensive, but in the end were repelled by the Scourge. [[Orman of Stromgarde]] was the highest-ranking human among the countless casualties of this failed assault.
  +
  +
In ''[[World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King]]'', Icecrown, previously ravaged by the tremendous force unleashed when Arthas and the Lich King merged into a single being, has been heavily fortified by the Scourge. Massive walls and ramparts have been erected throughout the region and [[Angrathar the Wrathgate]] bars entry from the bordering [[Dragonblight]], while the reconstructed [[Icecrown Citadel]] looms overhead.

Icecrown, also known as Ice Crown[2], is a zone composed of mostly Icecrown Glacier and the immediate area around it. In Lands of Mystery, the whole zone was called "Icecrown Glacier". Icecrown is surrounded by mountains. The ground is neither frozen earth nor covered with snow; it is solid ice. Hence, nothing grows here.

History

The name of Icecrown became infamous when Kil'jaeden hurled the Lich King back into the mortal world. Ner'zhul's prison slammed into the glacier and created the Frozen Throne. The impact was seen as far away as the Grizzly Hills. Here the Lich King remained until freed by Arthas, and the two beings merged into Arthas' body. From the Icecrown Citadel, he commands the Scourge.

Apparently, troops of the Scarlet Crusade succeeded in approaching the stronghold during a counter offensive, but in the end were repelled by the Scourge. Orman of Stromgarde was the highest-ranking human among the countless casualties of this failed assault.

In World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King, Icecrown, previously ravaged by the tremendous force unleashed when Arthas and the Lich King merged into a single being, has been heavily fortified by the Scourge. Massive walls and ramparts have been erected throughout the region and Angrathar the Wrathgate bars entry from the bordering Dragonblight, while the reconstructed Icecrown Citadel looms overhead.
