KarazhanLoC 44 is an abandoned ancient tower made of ivory, located in the
Deadwind Pass. It is a ten man raid dungeon at level 70 in World of Warcraft:
The Burning Crusade. In lore, it was noted for its famous occupant; the last
Guardian of Tirisfal, Medivh. After Medivh had been defeated by the army of
Azeroth during the First War, Karazhan was abandoned and has remained in
that condition. The arcane powers, however, have never abandoned the
tower.

1) General

  • Location: Deadwind Pass
  • # of Players: 10
  • Level: 70
  • Final boss: Nightbane / Prince Malchezaar
  • Released: added in the Burning Crusade
  • 12 bosses.
  • There is a gryphon/wind rider transportation hub at the top of the tower, so players don't have to ascend it every time.
  • Opera house - pulling back curtains reveals a randomly chosen boss mob.
  • "Bizarre" library which doesn't obey the laws of physics.
  • Beneath Karazhan is another tower, a mirror of the one above.
  • A very big, scripted instance - Tigole: "You could fit 20 Shadowfang [Keeps] inside of Karazhan =P"
  • Medivh's staff - [Atiesh, Greatstaff of the Guardian] - can be used to teleport players to the front gate of Karazhan.
  • A non-winged dungeon.
  • It is currently in dispute among the WoW community as to who is the 'true' final boss of Karazhan. Many feel that Prince Malchezaar, as ruler of the tower, is the final boss. Others feel that Nightbane, who is more difficult than Malchezaar and can only be summoned once Malchezaar is defeated, is the real final enemy.
