The History of Naxxramas: Every Wing, Every Boss, Explained (Warcraft Lore)

Naxxramas is the flying necropolis of the Scourge, and it is still hanging in the sky over Dragonblight. This is the full lore of Naxxramas from the door to the last room: where the citadel came from, why every wing exists, and who every boss was before Kel'Thuzad put them there. It began as a nerubian ziggurat under the ice of Northrend, taken by Anub'arak for the Lich King and torn out of the earth to fly to Lordaeron. Inside, each wing built one part of the army of the dead: the poison of the Arachnid Quarter, the plague of the Plague Quarter, the death knights of the Military Quarter, the abominations of the Construct Quarter, and the frost of Sapphiron's lair, guarding Kel'Thuzad himself. On the way: Noth, who doubted; Sir Zeliek, who still prays; and Highlord Alexandros Mograine, freed by his own son. 0:00 The building in the sky 1:11 The origin 6:48 The arachnid quarter 9:40 The plague quarter 13:02 The military quarter 17:56 The construct quarter 20:45 The frostwyrm lair 22:53 What came after Which wing would you never want to walk into, and which boss deserved better?
