Araj the Summoner was a lich in the service of Ner'zhul, the Lich King, who became regional commander of Scourge forces in the Western Plaguelands. It is known that he was the former leader of Scholomance before aiding the Scourge invasion of Caer Darrow and later claiming the city of Andorhal as his own.

Headquartered in the ruined city of Andorhal, Araj had two primary responsibilities: spread the Plague of Undeath via massive Plague Cauldrons situated at various points throughout the area, and continue to pound at the Forsaken defenses at the strategic pass known as the Bulwark. These duties kept him busy for some time after the end of the Third War, but ultimately it was the spreading of his resources that spelt his doom. Considering the Forsaken to be the most necessary target of Scourge forces, he left his southern flank far less guarded than was wise, perhaps not considering an Alliance incursion likely.

Araj the Summoner was also one of the randomly picked names for the Lich hero in Warcraft 3.

Notes

Attuned Dampeners are specifically designed to work against Araj. Chromie in Andorhal provides these dampeners as a reward for  [56] Counting Out Time. Effect: Inflict 1400 to 1800 arcane damage on the attuned target, and lower the damage it deals by 25%.
