southwest of the Crossroads. To reach the memorial, follow a ridge to the southeast and half-way up the hill you will find the base of a mound. Go up the short trail to reach the shrine. As a little bonus, if you visit the memorial in spirit form you will find a spirit healer named Koiter.

"Shrine of the Fallen Warrior in World of WarCraft" by René Koiter[]

Where once a hero set foot on his native soil a monument has risen
Where now part of his essence resides a mystical boon will be given

Upon the monument the runic initials MK have been engraved
To honor all the journeys and battles the fallen one has braved

A hero's enduring spirit transcends many worlds beyond our own
Only those with steadfast dedication find a bond with this unknown

Travel the continents and scour the lands for the shrine standing tall
For in the presence of the monolith the warrior will be with you all
