Scarlet Monastery is the Tirisfal Glades's favourite haunt for budding World of Warcraft dungeoneers entering their early-level twenties, and a superb place to pick up a shiny new chapeau.

Though many veteran adventurers of Azeroth might be sick of the sight of the place, they can visit the monastery's real-life inspiration in Staffordshire, the appropriately named and similarly flamboyant Lichfield Cathedral. To paraphrase Lady Whitemane, you will pay... in the gift shop.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
