Shadow Hold, located in western Felwood, is the main dwelling of the Shadow Council. It is a gigantic subterranean labyrinth roamed by Jaedenar warlocks and their demonic pets.
Night elf Arko'narin is being held captive inside as well as her close friend, a human by the name of Trey Lightforge, who later turns out to have been tortured to death.
The satyr Prince Xavalis and dreadlord Lord Banehollow also reside here.
Mobs[]
The area is heavily populated by humanoids and demons ranging between levels 40 to 60.

Speculation[]
The layout of Shadow Hold and the presence of several named mobs suggest that Blizzard likely considered making this an instanced dungeon, but for some reason decided to make it a unique, uninstanced microdungeon instead.
