Brill Brill is a small town in the Tirisfal Glades of northern Lordaeron . Like Tirisfal itself , the town is controlled by the Forsaken . Upon leaving Deathknell , new Forsaken players will be directed to Brill where they will continue the Forsaken ' s war against both the Scarlet Crusade and ever - present Scourge . It is located in the center of Tirisfal , directly north of the Capital City of Lordaeron . History . Brill was once a small town within the human kingdom of Lordaeron . It was one of the earliest towns to become afflicted with the Plague of Undeath that would eventually cripple the northern lands . It was at Brill that the necromancer Kel ' Thuzad , still a living man , first started his experiments with the Plague that would come to be the demise of the kingdom of Lordaeron . The success of the infestation was such that it allowed Kel ' Thuzad to convince the Lich King to launch the invasion even before it was planned . The mass - graveyard just outside of Brill was made to accommodate the large number of deaths Tirisfal suffered when the Plague first came . The town was investigated by Prince Arthas during his mission to uncover the source of the Plague . Following the weakening of the Lich King due to the spell cast by Illidan , Sylvanas ' s rebel Forsaken were able to quickly assume control of the village , along with numerous other sites in Tirisfal Glades . The citizens of Brill now fight daily to preserve their freedom against their enemies . Cataclysm . In " " , Brill will be updated with the new Forsaken architecture seen in Northrend . Brill will also gain a statue of the Dark Lady . Inhabitants . At zeppelin tower : Vendors . At Cold Hearth Manor : At camp southeast of Brill : Trainers . At Cold Hearth Manor : At Brightwater Lake : At camp southeast of Brill : Primary enemies of Brill . The Scourge . Like all Forsaken , the citizens of Brill are in a constant battle against their former master , the Lich King . Occasionally Scourge will slip past the defenders of the Bulwark , the protectors of Tirisfal from the Plaguelands to the east . The citizens of Brill have taken it upon themselves to be the Bulwark ' s rear guard , since success at the Bulwark depends on a one - front battle , as well as protecting the supply lines to the Bulwark . They focus their attentions particularly on the Balnir Farmstead to the east , which has become a haven for interloping Scourge . The scourge have also trickled in to Tirisfal Glades and infested the area west of Brill , near the old bridge . In addition , the Scourge use the Rot Hide Gnolls at Garren ' s Haunt to further their cause . The most significant threat from the Scourge comes from the Agamand Mills to the northwest , which have become a foothold for the Scourge , led by a skeleton named Captain Dargol . Dargol uses the Agamand Family Crypt to raise the ancestors of the Agamands and use them against the citizens of Brill , who must be constantly alert for their attacks . Rot Hide gnolls . The Rot Hide gnolls are a group of undead gnolls , controlled by the Scourge , that have set up camp at Garren ' s Haunt to the north of Brill . Their primary mission is to steal corpses from the mass graves just outside of Brill so that the Scourge may use them to bolster their forces . They are led by a vile gnoll named Maggot Eye . Scarlet Crusade . The Scarlet Crusade have set up their base of operations in Tirisfal Glades at the Scarlet Monastery , high on a hill to the northeast of Brill . In addition , they have a number of outposts throughout Tirisfal Glades ( mostly ruined towers from the last war ) from which to engage their attacks and raids against the Scourge and Forsaken . The humans at the Solliden Farmstead to the west of Brill aid the Scarlet Crusade in their fight against the undead . Alliance . Although Brill is located deep within Horde territory , there is still the threat of occasional Alliance forces attacking from Silverpine Forest and the southern lands . This has increased after the removal of dishonorable kills from the World PvP system , as formerly Brill would be avoided due to the huge amounts of civilian s present there . Now , however , there is little to stop willing raiding parties emerging from the south ; provided they do not fear the inhabitants of the Undercity nearby . Notes . It is of interest to note that Brill was shown in two locations in Warcraft III maps : in one , it was between Andorhal ( to its north ) and Strahnbrad ( to its south ) , southeast of Capital City of Lordaeron in the Alterac Mountains , and in another map , it was directly east of Capital City , northwest of Andorhal and northeast of Lordamere Lake . It was moved to a location immediately north of the ruins of Lordaeron ' s Capital City for " World of Warcraft " .
