Mengeath

Mengeath is a fictional location featured in the *World of Warcraft* multimedia franchise, developed by Blizzard Entertainment. It is a ruined city located in the Eastern Kingdoms, specifically within the region of Lordaeron. The city was once a thriving metropolis under the rule of the human kingdom of Lordaeron, but it fell into ruin following the Scourge’s invasion during the Third War.

Originally established as a center of learning and culture, Mengeath was home to the prestigious Mage College, which trained many of the kingdom’s most skilled mages. However, its fate was sealed when the undead Legion, led by the Lich King, overran the city. The Scourge’s corruption transformed the once-great city into a desolate wasteland, with crumbling buildings, twisted architecture, and eerie, undead remnants lingering in its ruins.

Mengeath is notable for its dark and atmospheric setting, often described as a haunting blend of gothic and decaying elegance. The area is populated by undead creatures, including skeletal warriors, corrupted mages, and other horrors, making it a dangerous location for adventurers. Players exploring the region in *World of Warcraft* may encounter quests related to the Scourge’s remnants, including the recovery of lost artifacts or the slaying of undead threats.

The city’s name is derived from the Old English word *meng*, meaning "mixed" or "confused," reflecting its chaotic and unsettling state. While Mengeath is not a major hub in the game’s lore, it serves as a grim reminder of Lordaeron’s fall and the Scourge’s enduring influence. Its ruins remain a symbol of the kingdom’s tragic decline and the lingering presence of the undead in the Eastern Kingdoms.
