Vice

Stretching across the southern stretches of Deadwind Pass, the Vice is defined by barren earth, jagged rock faces, and crude mounds erected by the Deadwind ogre clan. While the surrounding canyon is largely abandoned to vengeful ghosts and scavenger vultures, these ogres have carved out a stubborn foothold directly beside the main path approaching Karazhan. Why they chose such a bleak and magically scarred waste remains an enduring mystery, but any traveler passing between Duskwood and the Swamp of Sorrows quickly learns they defend their camps with fierce territorial violence.

Unlike mere highwaymen, the ogres dwelling in the Vice possess both heavy martial strength and dangerous arcane talent. Alongside hulking bruisers, Deadwind warlocks practice crude yet lethal fel sorceries among the earthen mounds. Their presence so close to the abandoned seat of Medivh suggests a hunger for residual magical power, making the canyon a lethal gauntlet for wandering scholars and solitary scouts alike.
