===In Warcraft I===
−
During ''World of Warcraft'', members of the [[Red Team]] and [[Blue Team]] would fight each other, seemingly to train. Unfortunately after a patch a bug occured resulting in Captain Andrews attacking Alliance players. Unfortunately most players would first encounter [[Theramore Isle]] in their early level 30 and upon going near the keep would be set upon by Captain Andrews, who had a remarkable aggro radius due to his high level. In order to prevent him from slaing players, the Red and Blue teams no longer combat each other.

When Arthas was slain by a band of heroes led by Tirion Fordring, it was revealed that there must always be a Lich King to control the Scourge; thus Bolvar Fordragon donned the cursed helm and named himself jailer of the damned.[2]
  • Mob IconSmall NagaSeaWitch Queen Azshara - Formerly the queen of the night elves, Azshara is the progenitor of the naga, night elves who were transformed into serpentine, aquatic creatures when they were banished to the bottom of the Great Sea after the Sundering.
