Located in Shadow Hold in Felwood, Lord Banehollow was guarded by a wide variety of warlocks, demons, and his personal attendant Ur'dan. Lord Hel'nurath is his rival. He had in his possession Xorothian stardust which was needed by Gorzeeki Wildeyes. He had a warlock adventurer disguise as a member of the Shadow Council and go to Banehollow to obtain it.[1] To gain his favor, Banehollow sent the adventurer to kill his former servant Ulathek, who was actually a spy for Lord Hel'nurath on Xoroth, and to get his heart, planning to eat it.[2] With the task done, Banehollow allowed the adventurer buy the stardust from Ur'dan.[3]

In the RPG[]

Lord Banehollow, something of a demonic politician (and thus beyond even a normal concept of evil), serves as the emissary between the Burning Legion's remaining leaders and the Shadow Council in Shadow Hold in Felwood. He keeps Fel'dan under watchful eye.[9]
