'''Andorgos''' is a member of the Brood of [[Malygos]] inside the [[Temple of Ahn'Qiraj]] who gives adventurers [[Temple of Ahn'Qiraj Quest Loot|high level helms and shoulders]] for turning in special loot items. [[Kandrostrasz]] gives adventurers boots and pants while [[Vethsera]] gives chest items. The three are located just past [[The Prophet Skeram]].

Andorgos, along with Kandrostrasz and Vethsera, came to the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj after sensing their enslaved brethren deep inside the Qiraji city. However they are unable to attempt to rescue their flightmembers without also falling prey to same spell which holds [[Caelestrasz]], [[Arygos]], and [[Merithra]] as [[C'thun]]'s slaves. The three wait at the entrance of the temple hoping to find adventurers who will venture into the city to free their brethren, and provide the adventurers with powerful pieces of armor in return for bringing them specific items obtained from defeating C'thun and his minions.

After [[Archimonde]]'s defeat at the [[Battle of Mount Hyjal]], there were several demonic forces still scattered across [[Azeroth (world)|Azeroth]]. Some remained unaware of the defeat of their masters. Many of the dreadlords in [[Lordaeron]] in particular did not know of what had unfolded across the sea, despite a span of many months.
   
  +
[[Arthas]] returned to Lordaeron to claim his throne, but found that the [[Scourge]] was under the dominion of their dreadlord jailors. When Archimonde had been summoned into Azeroth, [[Tichondrius]] had asked that the Scourge be given to him, and thus it was the dreadlords who were the new custodians of the undead.

However, without Archimonde, the dreadlords were exposed. Arthas drove them away, for the time being. Unfortunately for him, the [[Lich King]] was growing weaker. Control over the Scourge was lost, for the most part.

The '''Dreadlord Insurgents''' were the result of the [[Lich King]]'s will weakening, coupled with manipulative power. Most of the undead who were freed were in turn enslaved by the dreadlord custodians who were controlling the [[Scourge]] in Lordaeron. [[Balnazzar]], [[Detheroc]] and [[Varimathras]] were the leaders of this Insurgency.

The weakening of the Lich King was able to free [[Sylvanas Windrunner]] from the scourge, with whom the dreadlords made a pact. With the assistance of Sylvanas, the Dreadlord Insurgents prepared a trap for Arthas. Arthas was ambushed in [[Capital City]] and was separated from his majordomo, [[Kel'thuzad]]. Despite this, he survived the onslaught and Sylvanas' assassination attempts, and sailed to [[Northrend]].
−
==Notes==
 
−
*"-gos" is typical of the ''male'' Blue Dragon, while "gosa" is typical of the ''female''. So, Andorgos is either a male Blue Dragon disguised as a female Gnome, or an exception to this "rule."
 
   
  +
This left a power vacuum in Lordaeron. There were three undead factions at large. One was the Scourge under Kel'thuzad's control. Another was the precursor to the [[Forsaken]]; Sylvanas and her banshees. Finally there were the Dreadlord Insurgents, retaining control over large unholy armies, including the mind controlled soldiers of the [[New Alliance|Lordaeron Resistance]] under [[Garithos]].

Kel'thuzad chose not to interfere and was not seen for the most part of the Scourge Civil War. Sylvanas, on the other hand, was offered a place in the new order that was being forged by the Insurgents. She refused, and Varimathras launched an assault upon her base. Sylvanas improvised, and possessed local creatures using banshees to turn them against the Insurgents. In this manner she swayed [[Zul'rogg]], [[Mug'thol]], [[Blackthorn]], and possibly the [[Murloc Puddle Lord]]. This gave her several factions of beasts to throw against Varimathras. Eventually, she was successful, and Varimathras joined her in exchange for his life.

The Dreadlord Insurgents still controlled much of Lordaeron, however. Detheroc's pet Garithos was protecting his master within a fortified city. With her banshees at hand, Sylvanas possessed the human gate guards and turned them on one another, allowing her army into the city by cover of night. While the soldiers of the Lordaeron Resistance slept, Sylvanas set about killing her enemies and taking the city. By the time they were alerted to her presence, it was too late, and the city was soon taken and Detheroc torn to bloody shreds.

Ultimately, it was in Capital City that the Dreadlord Insurgency met its end.

Balnazzar proved a tenacious foe, throwing both demons and undead at his enemies, but he was surrounded and the city was destined to be taken. Sylvanas ordered Varimathras to kill Balnazzar, and it appeared that he did so. In truth, Balnazzar survived, going on to haunt [[Stratholme]], where he killed [[Saidan Dathrohan]] and possessed his body. Sylvanas betrayed the [[Alliance]] and ordered Varimathras to kill the Grand Marshal, Garithos, which he gladly did. From that moment onward, the [[Forsaken]] were declared, and they became the dominant undead force in Lordaeron. As time passed, Kel'thuzad was to return to action and waged his war against the Forsaken, but by then the rebel undead were firmly entrenched.

This article contains lore taken from Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos, Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, the manuals, and/or official bonus maps.

After Archimonde's defeat at the Battle of Mount Hyjal, there were several demonic forces still scattered across Azeroth. Some remained unaware of the defeat of their masters. Many of the dreadlords in Lordaeron in particular did not know of what had unfolded across the sea, despite a span of many months.

Arthas returned to Lordaeron to claim his throne, but found that the Scourge was under the dominion of their dreadlord jailors. When Archimonde had been summoned into Azeroth, Tichondrius had asked that the Scourge be given to him, and thus it was the dreadlords who were the new custodians of the undead.

However, without Archimonde, the dreadlords were exposed. Arthas drove them away, for the time being. Unfortunately for him, the Lich King was growing weaker. Control over the Scourge was lost, for the most part.

The Dreadlord Insurgents were the result of the Lich King's will weakening, coupled with manipulative power. Most of the undead who were freed were in turn enslaved by the dreadlord custodians who were controlling the Scourge in Lordaeron. Balnazzar, Detheroc and Varimathras were the leaders of this Insurgency.

The weakening of the Lich King was able to free Sylvanas Windrunner from the scourge, with whom the dreadlords made a pact. With the assistance of Sylvanas, the Dreadlord Insurgents prepared a trap for Arthas. Arthas was ambushed in Capital City and was separated from his majordomo, Kel'thuzad.
