Ruins of Falthrien Academy
Falthrien Academy was once a prestigious elven school for aspiring magisters located on Sunstrider Isle. Immediately before the opening of the Dark Portal, several warlocks that were in the school took it hostage, and the elf Felendren triggered a massive arcane explosion that left the school grounds twisted and warped by the volatile magic.
Following the invasion, the curious, warped nature of the grounds became a source of curiosity for the Shadowmoon Clan and Twilight's Hammer Clan.
History
Chapter Two: Casting Dice
In the days immediately predating the opening of the Dark Portal, Falthrien Academy was seized by a small contingent of warlocks as the cabal started to grow increasingly desperate to ensure their plan came into fruition. The academy itself was held hostage, though an attempt was made to reclaim it by a group headed by Farstrider Ranger-Captain Nathanos Marris.
In the struggle that resulted, the rogue elf Felendren triggered a massive arcane explosion that left the academy grounds decimated by chaotic, arcane energy. The conflux of energy left the school warped and twisted, and spawned strange creatures that took to haunting the grounds in the aftermath of the disaster.
Chapter Three: The Scales Tip
Following the opening of the Dark Portal and the invasion of the orcish Horde, the academy became a site of interest for both the Shadowmoon and Twilight's Hammer clans due to the chaotic voidal and arcane energy that continued to persist and warp the grounds. The elf Felendren was of particular interest to Keli'dan the Breaker of the Shadowmoon clan, and he tasked Arthak Saurfang and his company with the job of entering the school grounds and capturing Felendren alive, as it was believed the elf had survived the explosion and had taken to hiding somewhere in the grounds.
Layout
Falthrien Academy has expansive grounds that are organized into a variety of different wings located around a centralized, floating spire known as the officiate. Following the arcane explosion that left the school in ruins, the grounds became surrounded by a strange, arcane barrier that serves to keep the unnatural, volatile new denizens of the school contained within, though it did nothing to keep anyone out.

General Library
The general library served as an archive of most of the common literature that was hosted at Falthrien Academy. It housed books of all varieties, though the archives themselves were twisted and damaged in the arcane explosion. The massive book shelves that make up the library now float throughout it, and damaged books drift through the air on their own accord. Like much of the school grounds, arcane wraiths pass through the shelves and walls, and various books inside have attained their own degree of sentience--attacking like predators in their own right.
