Alcaz Prison

Alcaz Island lies off the northeast coast of Dustwallow Marsh. Unlike the marsh, it is covered in tropical plants like those of the nearby Echo Isles. The Strashaz naga once held the island.

Some years after the Third War, King Varian Wrynn of Stormwind set out for a meeting at Theramore. The Defias Brotherhood seized him on the way and held him captive on Alcaz Island. There the black dragon Onyxia worked a ritual that split the king in two: his will, strength and confidence became a separate being called Lo'Gosh, and what remained was a Varian who was easy to control. Before Lo'Gosh could be killed, naga led by Morgala Darksquall attacked Onyxia's dragonspawn. In the fight Lo'Gosh was knocked off a cliff into the sea, where the naga captured him, and Onyxia believed him dead.

The island's prison is famous. Rumor says the Defias once held high-ranking nobles there for ransom, and even King Varian himself. Now the Defias and the naga inside seem to be fighting each other, which makes this a good moment to go in and clear the place out.
