'''''UNDER CONSTRUCTION''''' related to [[User:GoldenYak/Spider_Kingdom_Expansion_Concept|Spider Kingdom Expansion Concept]]
āˆ’
'''Raise Ally''' is a level 72 [[Death knight]] ability that allows the death knight to raise a fallen raid or party member to fight for a limited time. This creature can perform a number of attacks including Fear, apply disease, stun, cause a target bleed and pummel.
 
   
  +
'''The Forge of Souls''' was a massive production facility that built Soul Grinders, a fiendish construct in the arsenal of the previous [[Lich King]]. Now, the Soul Grinders are silent, but the forces of Twilight seek to awaken them. The [[User:GoldenYak/The_Scourge_Remnants#Amal.27thazad_and_the_Cult_of_the_Endless_Cold_Scourge|Scourge Remnants]] who have allied themselves with [[User:GoldenYak/Twilight's_Hammer_of_Northrend|Velius and the Twilight's Hammer]] have been sent to the Forge to oversee their takeover. Here, [[Amal'thazad]] and [[Prince Theraldis]] await all comers. Their dreams of conquest crushed beneath the heel of Velius and the Twilight's Hammer, they are eager to vent their frustrations.

===Playstyle===

==Lore==
  +
Serving as the first wing in this expansive dungeon, the Forge of Souls will quickly put players to the test of carving through the Scourge stronghold into deeper, more treacherous locations. Jaina will command Alliance forces, and Sylvanas will direct Horde forces. The goal is to ruin the twisted engines known as soul grinders found in this portion of the citadel, and then players can advance -- that is, if the Horde and Alliance forces can overcome the foes who confront them.
āˆ’
As soon as someone is turned into a ghoul he will get a vehicle-bar containing the above abilities. The basic rotoation should be: Leap, Claw x3, Thrash. (or 4-1-1-1-2-1-1-1-2 ...}

===Bosses===

;{{NPC||Prince Theraldis}} - The last of the San'layn.

Deranged by his abject failure, Prince Theraldis seeks only to destroy any living thing that intrudes into the Forge.
