Morgan Ladimore Morgan Ladimore was a soldier of what has become Darkshire . As he went to help fight in Lordaeron , his homeland was laid waste , and he could not find his wife and children . He went mad , and in his madness killed several innocents . When he came to his senses , he saw what had come to pass and committed suicide . His reanimated body roams Raven Hill and kills indiscriminately . The Story of Morgan Ladimore . Morgan Ladimore was a great and noble knight who fought in defense of the innocent , the poor , and the afflicted . For many years , he worked diligently throughout the outlying areas of Azeroth , bringing relief to the suffering and swift justice to evildoers . He was married to a young girl named Lys in the summer of his eighteenth year . They were much in love with each other and would eventually produce three children , a son and two daughters . Morgan was thirty - two when war broke out in Lordaeron . Morgan was called to the side of the legendary paladin Uther the Lightbringer to fight against the orcs and the undead . Leaving his wife and children in the safety of his home , Morgan left for war . The years passed and the war dragged on , and Morgan would witness many horrific events , including the disbanding of the Paladins of the Silver Hand , the death of Uther and the spread of the plague . The only thing that kept him from the brink of madness was the knowledge that he would someday be reunited with his wife and children . Morgan would eventually return to his homeland , but find it nothing like how he remembered it . The once verdant forest was corrupted and teemed with the undead and other dark forces . Destroyed houses and farms could be found everywhere , and the cemetery near Raven ' s Hill now dominated much of the area . A shocked and bewildered Morgan eventually made his way to his home , only to find it in ruins . Not knowing what had befallen his homeland , he headed towards the village to find answers , and , he hoped , his wife and children . Morgan inquired about his family , but could not find any answers . A priest in Darkshire , as it was now called , said that he might search the cemetery at Raven Hill for a gravestone . Morgan refused to believe that his family was dead , and continued to search every farm and house in Duskwood , but to no avail . Morgan rode from Darkshire to nearby Lakeshire , thinking that perhaps his family had fled . On his way there , he decided , against his better judgement , to stop by the Raven Hill cemetery . Morgan spent hours walking amongst the gravestones . He recognized many names of people that he knew and became more and more distraught . Then he saw them : a small , untended plot amongst the many with three small gravestones . A feeling of dread washed over him as he approached . Morgan brushed off the dust of the most prominent gravestone to reveal the name on it . Simply carved upon the grave , letters spelled out his worst fear : Lys Ladimore Beloved Wife and Mother Morgan ' s apprehension turned to dismay and then to grief , and he fell to his knees weeping . For hours he stared at that one grave , begging the cold stone for forgiveness and sobbing apologies . Then , hours later , something in him snapped and he began to lash out . He brought his sword out of its scabbard and began to rain blows on the gravestones , screaming in rage . Blind in his fury , he lashed out and swung wildly , catching the notice of a trio of the cemetery ' s attendants . As they turned to restrain him , he turned his focus to them , hurling accusations of guilt upon the innocent attendants , then killed them all . Later , when the rage had passed , realization crept into Morgan ' s mind , and he saw his bloody sword driven into the chests of one of the attendants . Driven to the brink by his emotions , he removed his belt knife and plunged it into his heart . Morgan Ladimore ' s body and the three bodies of his victims were found the next day . He was quickly buried , without ceremony , in a hastily dug grave on the outskirts of the cemetery . Because Morgan committed murder against innocents , something that went completely against his beliefs and his nature , and because of the grief that he held in being unable to save his family , Morgan could not die a peaceful death , and lived on as one of the restless dead . Only days later , his grave was disturbed , and his body could not be found . The being that was Morgan now wanders Duskwood , consumed by his grief over the loss of his wife and children and his own self - hatred . Mor ' Ladim , as he now calls himself , roams Duskwood with mindless vengeance and hatred , and has been known to commit murder indiscriminately . A Daughter ' s Love . Upon quest completion , Morgan Ladimore appears as a spirit and speaks to the player : " My sword Archeus served me well in life , but as at last my spirit may pass from the unhappy existence , I need it no longer . I shall cling to the love of my daughter and hope that I will find forgiveness under the Light for my sins . "
