Amnennar the Coldbringer

The lich Amnennar was once a force of reckoning within the Scourge, participating in the assault on Mount Hyjal during the Third War. Afterward, the Lich King instructed his servant to remain in Kalimdor and expand the Scourge's influence. This effort was thwarted by heroes of the Horde and Alliance, however. Now the relative peace that has been brought to Razorfen Downs may be threatened. Death Speaker Blackthorn hopes to revive this powerful lich and renew the assault on the Barrens.

Aarux is a huge spider whose body bristles with toxin filled pustules that burst and ooze noxious liquids. The Arachnomancers now await the opportune moment to unleash their creation.

Death Speaker Blackthorn

Death Speaker Blackthorn rose quickly through the ranks of the Death's Head cult after the defeat of Amnennar the Coldbringer. Shortly after usurping control of the cult, Blackthorn began receiving dark whispers. These whispers promised power and riches beyond belief, if he could return Amnennar to life. Compelled by unnatural energies, Blackthorn discovered the location of Amnennar's Phylactery and has returned to Razorfen Downs to complete the ritual that will return his former master to life once more.
