Raven Hill before the Cataclysm.
Raven Hill is an abandoned town located in western Duskwood, north of Addle's Stead and south of the Raven Hill Cemetery. Though once all but empty, several Worgen have taken up residence here in their search for a cure to the Worgen Curse.
History
This ghost town once took pride in its honor for the dead. It held a mortuary school that graduated the finest embalmers in Azeroth. Then the undead rose up and murdered most of the inhabitants. After struggling to combat what had once been their loved ones, most townspeople gave up and fled east to Darkshire. The Defias Brotherhood tried to set up camp in the town in the aftermath of the exodus, but even they could not take the constant attacks by the undead. Some citizens remained, including a master embalmer known as Abercrombie, who lived near Raven Hill cemetery until recently. A serious man, he worked both to stay alive and to stop the undead - or so he claimed. Raven Hill is possibly the origin of the massive Black Riders, huge beings that suddenly appear with hellhounds at their feet to run down frantic travelers. Some nights they skirt the perimeter of Darkshire, howling loudly.[1]
Until recently, the village held only a few living persons - Jitters, an Alliance-friendly NPC, and Bliztik the Goblin vendor, who could be found hiding on the top floor of one of the buildings. However, several, Worgen now reside here.
Possible prior history
Similarly to Darkshire Raven Hill was likely not the original name of this ruined town. In Warcraft 1 there is a town named Sunnyglade which seems to be at the location where Raven Hill is located. The town might have been renamed sometime after the First War like Darkshire.
