Line 48:
* Shatter Point, Hellfire Peninsula. An Alliance quest hub. Avoid going there at all costs if you're afraid of heights because it is a small asteroid floating in space over a pitch black and bottomless abyss.
** ''Canted slightly to one side so the ground is tilted.''
** A currently unopened crypt near Karazhan has, among its many sections, a huge underwater area filled with dead corpses hanging upside down from huge chains, appropriately named ''[[Shout-Out|The Upside-Down]]'' ''[[Big Trouble in Little China|Sinners]]''.
*** Don't forget the part where if you turn off the music and turn the sound up, you can hear the sound of a muffled heartbeat in the background.
*** Another creepy part of Karazhan are the opera event bosses Romulo and Julianne. You can tell Karazhan is a messed-up and nightmarish place when it can turn two characters from one of the most well-known plays in Western literature into evil monsters.
***** Not to mention the "Tonight we plumb the depths of the human soul as a girl tries desperately to get home" narration before...heck, the whole Wizard of Oz opera which does the same thing to Dorothy and the gang.
*** "Oh I wish I had a heart... Say, can I have yours?"
*** "Oh at last, at last. I can go home..." * Shudders*
*** And don't forget the Lovecraftian beasts in the tower leading up to the terrace where Prince Malchezaar waits brooding...the way he always warn new players, "Don't go into the rooms! Go straight to the top!" is like something out of a horror novel.
* If you think about it, Kael'thas' transformation from a brutal but well meaning ruler to a twisted, hateful, batshit insane warlord who reveres the [[Big Bad]] with a blind, almost ''loving'' zeal can be more than a little disturbing. The fact that his lines in Magister's Terrace, including his last words, are little more than insane ramblings and praises to Kil'jaeden does little to help.
