'''Shadowfang Keep''' is a haunted [[keep]] near the borders of [[Gilneas]] in southern [[Silverpine Forest]] {{coords|45|68|Silverpine Forest}}, on a high bluff overlooking [[Pyrewood Village]]. It is named for the forces of its former master<ref>http://us.battle.net/wow/en/zone/shadowfang-keep/</ref>, the demented [[archmage Arugal]], who wrested the keep from [[Baron Silverlaine]] with his [[worgen]] "[[Son of Arugal|children]]" and held it until he was [[Quest:Arugal Must Die|defeated]] by a group of heroes. The keep is now occupied by the Scourge remnants and followers of renegade Gilnean nobleman [[Vincent Godfrey]], traitor to both his homeland and to the [[Forsaken]] who returned him from death.<ref>http://youtu.be/vCnJo633c7U</ref>

Shadowfang Keep is a haunted keep near the borders of Gilneas in southern Silverpine Forest [45, 68]VZ-Silverpine ForestBlip, on a high bluff overlooking Pyrewood Village. It is named for the forces of its former master[1], the demented archmage Arugal, who wrested the keep from Baron Silverlaine with his worgen "children" and held it until he was defeated by a group of heroes. The keep is now occupied by the Scourge remnants and followers of renegade Gilnean nobleman Vincent Godfrey, traitor to both his homeland and to the Forsaken who returned him from death.[2]

With patch 4.0.3a, the dungeon was completely revamped with new encounters. The most notable feature was the addition of a Heroic mode for level 85 players.
