Slaughtered Lamb

The Slaughtered Lamb is a seedy pub in the Mage Quarter of Stormwind City. The top floor is empty except for the bartender Jarel Moor, which advises patrons to "stay away from the shadows".
Beneath the pub, the basement and catacombs serve as host to the warlocks of Stormwind, they are used as training grounds for new recruits in the kingdom, and for transferred students from Khaz Modan. Within the hidden enclave, the warlock community study and practice the dark arts, sheltered from the rest of the population. Among the warlock masters, Demisette Cloyce is one of the oldest and most respected members of their circle, while Spackle Thornberry was once in charge of selling demonic grimoires to the apprentices. To ensure that their lair is not revealed, warlocks are not allowed to tell anyone about it,Gakin's Summons (Voidwalker) and they assassinate those who try to reveal their activities. When asked about, the city guards replied they don't know of any warlock trainers in the city, however, they mentioned some sightings of demonic activity at the Slaughtered Lamb and advised concerned adventurers to check there.Stormwind City Guard (NPC) classic quotes
Rather eerily, below the warlock trainer's area there is another area of the Stormwind catacombs, with some empty, open coffins across the floor.

However, Gakin the Darkbinder expressed his anger since they are limited in terms of rooms and teachers, and because he feared that all the increased traffic would attract attention sooner or later on them.The Slaughtered Lamb (quest)
