The '''Pit of Saron''' is a great [[saronite]] quarry located in the mountains surrounding [[User:GoldenYak/New_Icecrown|Icecrown Citadel]]. Enshrouded in unnatural fog, the quarry is almost impossible to locate from the air, and only by passing through the twisting tunnels and dark halls of the citadel itself can one find it. Beyond the quarry is a gate leading into the hidden, inner sanctum of the Lich King - the [[Frozen Halls]]. Passing through the pit is the only way to breach these forbidden portions of the citadel.

The Pit of Saron was once a place where captives of the [[Alliance]] and the [[Horde]] were worked to death by cruel Scourge overseers, and then raised into undeath and forced to continue their labor. Massive quantities of saronite ore were extracted from the Pit and used in the construction of the Lich King's most fiendish weapons. The [[User:GoldenYak/Twilight's_Hammer_of_Northrend|Twilight's Hammer]] have secured this quarry and have continued the Scourge mining operations under the command of [[User:GoldenYak/Forgemaster_Balehammer|Forgemaster Balehammer]]. The Hammer stands guard over the entrance to the innermost reaches of Icecrown Citadel, the Frozen Halls, where [[User:GoldenYak/Twilight's_Hammer_of_Northrend#Twilight_Master_Velius|Velius]] has gone. Velius seeks the dread saronite necropolis, [[Malykriss]], which was completed shortly before the death of the Lich King but never unleashed.

The Pit of Saron is a great saronite quarry located in the mountains surrounding Icecrown Citadel. Enshrouded in unnatural fog, the quarry is almost impossible to locate from the air, and only by passing through the twisting tunnels and dark halls of the citadel itself can one find it. Beyond the quarry is a gate leading into the hidden, inner sanctum of the Lich King - the Frozen Halls. Passing through the pit is the only way to breach these forbidden portions of the citadel.

Lore

The Pit of Saron was once a place where captives of the Alliance and the Horde were worked to death by cruel Scourge overseers, and then raised into undeath and forced to continue their labor. Massive quantities of saronite ore were extracted from the Pit and used in the construction of the Lich King's most fiendish weapons. The Twilight's Hammer have secured this quarry and have continued the Scourge mining operations under the command of Forgemaster Balehammer. The Hammer stands guard over the entrance to the innermost reaches of Icecrown Citadel, the Frozen Halls, where Velius has gone. Velius seeks the dread saronite necropolis, Malykriss, which was completed shortly before the death of the Lich King but never unleashed.
