'''A Mysterious Message''' drops from [[Defias Messenger]] in [[Westfall]] as an objective of [[Quest:The Defias Brotherhood (5)]].
==Background==
 
'''Darkmaster Gandling''' is the final [[boss]] in [[Scholomance]]. He is not, arguably, the hardest boss, nor is he the owner of it like [[Lord Alexei Barov]]. He is, however, the headmaster of the School of Necromancy at [[Caer Darrow]], appointed personally by [[Kel'Thuzad]].
 
   
  +
==Contains==
Gandling appears after six bosses found in the six chambers around the Headmaster's Study are slain ('''and all Trash Mobs in them'''): [[Lord Alexei Barov]], [[Doctor Theolen Krastinov]], [[The Ravenian]], [[Lorekeeper Polkelt]], [[Instructor Malicia]] and the [[Lady Illucia Barov]].

Darkmaster Gandling, is a [[mummy|mummified]] wretch. He teaches students how to raise the dead in the Lich King’s name. Formerly a Dalaran wizard, he betrayed his masters for dark power and now revels in undeath. His graduates go on to Stratholme, the Scourge’s capital in the Eastern Plaguelands.{{Cite|LoC|111}} He apparently teaches at both the [[Scholomance]] in [[Caer Darrow]] and [[School of Necromancy]] in [[Andorhal]].

Gandling is a 61 [[elite]] caster boss. He casts Shadow Portal, a spell that teleports a random member of the group into a room with 3-4 level 60 non-elite mobs. That member must clear the room alone before the door to the rest of the instance opens and he is released. Those mobs do not vanish nor does the room open automatically upon Gandling's death. Despite their high level, each mob can be slain relatively easily, taking only a few hits.
