Fenris Isle: Ask us About our Peace Talks!
Loyal to distant southern Stormwind, Fenris Isle was an island colony in the large Lordaemere lake. Its location was central to areas of importance, such as Dalaran, Lordaeron, and Alterac.
The keep was built by the first Duke Fenris, who was knighted under the orders of the Arathi kings of Strom long ago. They intended to police the cities in the shores of the lake with a naval base in its middle, but that didn't work and it ended up being the only piece of land belonging to Strom in the area shortly thereafter.
When the Arathi trekked south to establish Stormwind, all of Strom's vassals swore allegiance to the new King Trollbane. The one exception was the Fenris family, whose loyalty remained with the founders of Stormwind and passed from father to son all the way down it’s ruler during the Great
Tabard of Fenris Isle
War, Duke Augustus Fenris.
The Fenris Summit[]
In Stormwind’s name, and in an effort to broker peace when religious tensions were running high, the Duke hosted a peace summit at Fenris Isle. The heads of state of most of the important nations on the planet attended, but the end result was a disaster and a battle broke out.
The battle was costly and resulted in several notable casualties including Thaumas Proudmoore. Duke Augustus is presumed to have survived, but his condition was not disclosed to the general public.
Lease to Ravenholdt[]
After returning to Stormwind, Duke Augusts formed a strong alliance with Travot Ravenholdt. Upon Ravenholdt Proper’s destruction, and having become disillusioned with the realty after the disastrous Summit, Duke Fenris leased Fenris Isle and Fenris Keep to Travot and Ravenholdt for 100 years.
The Keep would become Ravenholdt’s new primary base of Operations.
