Northpass Tower



Northpass Tower is a ruined scout tower located in the Eastern Plaguelands, and an objective in the Game of Towers world PvP event. It is, as the name implies, the farthest north of the towers, lying along the road to the Ghostlands and Quel'thalas. When players capture this tower, members of their faction can use an alter located inside the tower, which grants a 30 minute buff that increases the player's hp by 5%.

Northpass Tower is likely to be regularly fought over between the Alliance and the Horde, as the reward and location are both relevant to groups running Stratholme. The possible presence of spectral reinforcements from Eastwall Tower also make this one of the more contested towers to compete over.

In Cataclysm
The Northpass Tower, along with all the other towers of the Eastern Plaguelands, has been rebuilt by the Argent Crusade and is currently being used as an outpost throughout the region. Like Light's Hope Chapel, there are signs of life around the tower, and there is also a neutral flight master; this tower also has a pit of burning undead at its base. The PvP component has been removed.
