Ivar Patch

The Ivar Patch is a pumpkin patch in northern Silverpine Forest. It is named for its owner, a man named Ivar. It is presumed that this was once a prosperous and pleasant farm since Ivar employed many farmhands and servants. In recent times, however, the Scourge ravaged the lands of Lordaeron and Ivar, most of his family and his workers succumbed to the plague becoming terrible ghouls which now stalk the former farm. Ivar himself was transformed into a rotting ghoul and now terrorizes any who come near. The once-proud farmer is now known as Ivar the Foul.

Three agents of the Forsaken, Rane Yorick, Quinn Yorick, and Erland McKree were tasked with a reconaissance mission in northern Silverpine. They were ordered to determine the threat levels of wildlife and the Scourge in the region. They passed through the Dead Field noting the Rot Hide gnoll presence there before arriving at Ivar's farm. The party was ambushed by the ghouls, and Quinn was attacked by Ivar himself and was badly injured. Quinn and Rane took up a defensive position in Ivar's old house while Erland continued with the mission. He discovered a large presence of aggressive worgs who ultimately pinned him in a small farmhouse at Malden's Orchard. These Deathstalkers eventually reunited and sent a report to the Sepulcher which detailed the unsuspectedly large presence of danger in the region.
