Nethergarde Keep[[:File:|[, ]]], a Dalaran fortress of dour mages and paladins, keeps watch over the Dark Portal, and the demons and ogres that would abuse its power. (WoWRPG 13) The keep is a heavily defended Alliance town located in the Blasted Lands, home to a detachment of 300. Though technically it is a castle like Northwatch Hold in the Barrens, none of the Guards are PvP-enabled except the Gryphon Master and a few questgivers. The castle features two barracks, a stable, a mage tower and a blacksmith.
