Lore[]

Wowpedia iconThis section uses content from Wowpedia.
Archmage Vargoth is a level 70 quest giver located inside the Violet Tower in the contested territory of Netherstorm. Throughout most of the questline, he interacts with questers using a projection.
Vargoth was the leader of the mages of the Kirin Tor that accompanied the Alliance Expedition to Draenor and founded Kirin'Var Village in Farahlon, later known as Netherstorm. While there he worked with the mages to study the Ley lines and heard of the alliance between the human and orcs from the Laughing Skull clan. At some point, he sent a report with General Turalyon to Dalaran with reports, apparently not knowing about the Alliance heroes that stayed here after the explosion of Draenor.
The village has survived the following years until the attack of Kael'thas Sunstrider and his blood elves that killed all people in the village except himself; since he was locked up in a magical way in the The Violet Tower and guarded by Ar'kelos. He sensed that Ravandwyr, his apprentice who he sent away with his staff during the attack, was still alive. Through his staff he worked with the adventurers to free himself.
Vargoth took up residence in the Violet Citadel of Dalaran, in Archmage Vargoth's Retreat. The room is accessible only via the book The Schools of Arcane Magic - Mastery, from the achievement Higher Learning. Vargoth will give you a Kirin Tor Familiar if you talk to him.
Vargoth later sent his image to aid adventurers in Mount Hyjal during the quest The Protectors of Hyjal, and then again on the Violet Rise on the Isle of Thunder.
Vargoth sent various artifacts from the main timeline into the alternate timeline of Draenor. Adventurers collected them and brought to Zooti Fizzlefury, Vargoth's most trusted friend and confidant, who summoned Vargoth's image to Draenor. The image then joined the adventurers as a follower in their Garrisons in order to assist in his research of Draenor's past.
He notes that his image is still very "outdated" and that he has traded up those old robes for much better looking ones.
Vargoth appears in-person once more, having joined the Council of Six. Vargoth voted in favor to allow the Horde into the Kirin Tor and was present when the spell to teleport Dalaran to the Broken Isles was cast. When Aethas Sunreaver asked the council to allow him to rejoin the Kirin Tor, Vargoth voted yes.
Vargoth is later revealed to have ties with the Empyrean Society, an organization of mages looking into forbidden magics such as fel. Rise of ShadowsKhadgar states that because Vargoth has proven his loyalty to the Kirin Tor many times in the past, he will be given the benefit of the doubt. Nevertheless, Khadgar is obligated to share the concerns about Vargoth with the rest of the Council of Six. Rise of ShadowsKalecgos and Karlain, two other members of the council, also noted that they had seen Vargoth behaving oddly. As Vargoth has been absent for a while, the Conjuror of the Tirisgarde takes a look through his room in the Violet Citadel alongside Kalec and discovers his journal, within which they find notes about the Nightborne Soulstone, which can channel the power of the souls captured within it.
The Tirisgarde later discover that Vargoth has been possessed by Kathra'natir. He is freed and Kathra'natir is imprisoned in the Nightborne Soulstone that he had been using to drain Meryl Felstorm. Vargoth has since been absent, not attending the Council meetings.
When Magni called upon the champions of the Armies of Legionfall to draw the corruption out of the Sword of Sargeras, Vargoth carried Kobolds & CatacombsAluneth, representing the Tirisgarde for non-mage players.
