'''Light's Hope Chapel''' {{coords|75|52|Eastern Plaguelands}} is the [[Argent Crusade]] (formerly [[Argent Dawn]]) base of operations in the [[Eastern Plaguelands]]. Located in the far east of the region, it serves as quest hub for both [[Horde]] and [[Alliance]] heroes. Originally, as the name implies, a mere chapel, it expanded into a full-fledged fortified outpost after the end of the [[war against the Lich King|Northrend campaign]].

Underneath the chapel is a catacomb which houses the remains of the heroes of Lordaeron. Many of the remains were exhumed and moved to the chapel so they could not be resurrected in the service of the Lich King.<ref>[[Dust to Dust|World of Warcraft: Ashbringer, Issue 4 - Dust to Dust]]</ref>
'''Arcanagos''' was a powerful [[blue dragon]] who traveled to [[Karazhan]] back during/prior to the [[First War]] to warn [[Medivh]] and the surrounding village that something dark and sinister was happening in the area of the tower. He sensed Medivh was being used by a dark and sinister force. Arcanagos pleaded with Medivh to abandon the tower before the situation escalated out of control. When Medivh refused to leave his residence, the blue dragon attempted to remove him by force. The two masters of the arcane fought briefly, trading blows, but the blue wyrm met his match in the corrupted Titan-imbued [[Guardian of Tirisfal]]. Burning from a horrific spell from the inside out, Arcanagos frantically flew off and crashed into the mountains of [[Deadwind Pass]], dying a painful death, his bones shattering and falling down to scatter the surrounding area.

The spell Medivh used against the dragon imparted some of his own essence into Arcanagos. In order to divine information about Medivh, the [[Violet Eye]] has adventurers resurrect the dead dragon in order extract the arcane essence. Arcanagos appears, now as a fiery skeletal monstrosity known as [[Nightbane (boss)|Nightbane]], and proceeds to attack those who summon him.

Comics title This section concerns content related to the Warcraft manga or comics.

Revealed in the fourth and final volume of the World of Warcraft: Ashbringer comic mini-series, Dust to Dust, is the truth about what is buried beneath Light's Hope chapel. Lord Maxwell Tyrosus takes Darion Mograine to the catacombs beneath and tells him the story of how, during Arthas's rampage through Lordaeron, Tyrosus and a few others were chosen for the secret task of unearthing the bodies of a thousand fallen heroes of the Light and bringing them to Light's Hope Chapel. It is here they were interred once more in sacred ground. This was done to protect the honored dead from being raised as nothing more than cogs in the Lich King's undead army.

During the battle that followed, Darion ran the Ashbringer through his own body as a final act of faith and love to free his father's soul. The spirits of those thousand heroes brought forth a reckoning against the Scourge then, decimating the undead ranks surrounding the troops of the Argent Dawn. Unfortunately, the price for Alexandros Mograine's soul was high--the soul of his only remaining son, Darion Mograine.
