Aldur'thar: The Desolation Gate

Aldur'thar: The Desolation Gate is the second line of defense used by the Scourge in Icecrown. Its gate and walls are made almost entirely of saronite, near indestructible, and manned by massive Scourge constructs.Exploring Azeroth: Northrend, pg. 140 Behind this gate lies the Valley of Fallen Heroes.
Both the Alliance and the Horde built a small air base on top of Aldur'thar, which they used as a staging point for bombing runs at The Bombardment and the Valley of Fallen Heroes. These camps have remained undetected because they use the newfound infra-green energy, becoming invisible to the naked eye.Killohertz

The death knights sent the adventurers to investigate the Cult of the Damned activities,Sneak Preview then to sabotage Aldur'thar by killing Dark Subjugators,Drag and Drop and later the overseers Faedris, Jhaeqon, Veraj and Savryn.Chain of Command The adventurers also had to sabotage the concoctions the cultists make, and later gathered more information by placing a Dark Messenger spyNot a Bug and collecting the :Cult of the Damned Thesis.Need More Info This information led to the death of a very powerful cultist, Alumeth the Ascended.No Rest For The Wicked Once all the missions were completed, the death knights considered the gate to be weakened enough for the main armies to take over, and sent the adventurers further into Icecrown to conquer the Valley of Fallen Heroes and secure the Ironwall Rampart.The Ironwall Rampart
