In the Barrens, on a hill southwest of Crossroads there is a small shrine. On it there is a memorial dedicated to an Orc with the initials 'M-K'. M K was Michel Koiter, a Blizzard illustrator who passed away during the development of World of Warcraft. If you visit the memorial you'll find a spirit healer named Koiter.

I made a video/tribute in case anyone wants to see the shrine and not make the trip out there. I think its a wonderful thing that Blizzard did this for Michel.
First one on YouTube.
Found here:

Nice to see that the flight path from Thunder Bluff to Crossroads go over this as well. That is what made me see the name.
Well done indeed.

I'm Alliance but that doesn't mean that I can't go to the barrens.
I went to the shrine with my rogue and it looked great, the orc looked really cool the way he held his sword, and everything had perfect Graphics.
It was really nice of Blizzard to do this for Michel.

Its a very very sad story and a great read. More people should know of the shrine and the story behind it. Maybe it would make the game play that much more.

Another thing to post is that Koiter's spirit can be targeted even when you are dead,and is friendly for both alliance and horde.

I heard from a friend of mine that the developers made that shrine in memory of a developer who passed away while the game was being developed.

The NPC Koiter (spirit healer) is now visible while alive.

Thottbot
I'm standing right in front of the shrine right now and he's not visible (killed myself a minute ago and he was in ghost form).
评论来自
Thottbot
Well, I came up here a couple days after patch 1.12, and Koiter's now visable when alive. So... *shurg* Maybe it was changed in 1.12...dunno.

I hang around Xr alot, and never saw him before. But I'm lvl 40 now and on my mount and he is righ there, I thought it was a quest or something so I searched on this site. He is visible to me alive.

just flew over xr and saw it, yep its VISIBLE!

Thottbot
He does have a perpose jerk. Its to remember the memory of someone very dear to his friends, family, and World of WarCraft. If it wasnt for him, you probably wouldn't be playing this game.

to come up you must first climb up the big mountain then the little one :)
评论来自
Thottbot
So I'm a level 16 Undead Mage, and I can see him without any quest or being dead or anything.
(And yes to get up you do need to go up the big mountain to where Falla Sagewind is and then down to the smaller mountain)

May he rest in peace.

a blizzard employee named koiter died during production...
评论来自
Thottbot
He was NOT an employee, he was an employee's brother who played WoW.
its a really sad and creepy story all at the same time.
What happened was the brother had fallen ill with an apparent fever, and over the course of 4 days it had escalated and he succumbed in the emergency room from heart failure. The doctors have no idea what he suffered from or why, and after several autopsies the only thing anyone could agree on was that he was dead.
When his brother, the blizzard illustrator, logged onto his brother's account to /gquit and say goodbye for him, his character, a lvl 60 orc warrior, was for some reason in the barrens, dead with out spirit released. The shrine stands today at the location his orc had died.
The orc was in ogrimmar the last Koiter played it. How it got to the barrens, and died, is as much a mystery as how Koiter himself died.

Damn... horrible thing to happen... really hope everyone that knew him, family and friends are alright :(

This Website explains the reason the shrine is there and why the NPC is named "Koiter"

"koiter" aka shrine of the fallen warrior is a wow memorial in detication of one of the artist of wow's twin brother.
quote
"my twin brother Michel passed away because of a heart failure. In a matter of three days he progressed from a simple fever to a life-threatening situation which, in the end, took his life at the age of 19." "To this day, the doctors have no clue on the cause of his heart failure and his passing remains a quick and mysterious one..."
Any how to get there all you have to do is go to wailing caverns and climb up and behind the entrance. Fallow it all the way up then you will see a tiny mountain with a spirit heeler on it. That is the spirit heeler "koiter" that watches over Michel. His initials are carved into the shrine. Theres no quest or anything but there should! :(
R.I.P.

Michael Koiter was a illustrator for Blizzard who passed away during the production of WoW. The shrine and the spirit healer are in memory of him. A really cool memorial, if you ask me.

yeah..i was alive, but the memorial thing is pretty kewl! does it serve any other purpose than a memorial? i dont mean offence to Mr. Koiter but i wonder what it is for?....

I can see the Spirit Healer when I'm alive if I go to the shrine on my 60 human Priest.
When I went to visit the Shrine on my 20 Undead Priest, I couldn't see the angel. Hmm.
Maybe it's level based?

I've been there all the time on different characters, but as my Undead, I saw the Spirit Healer... So I guess that counts as 'dead' too.

The memorial of Michel Koiter can be found in the Shrine of the Fallen Hero, on top of a small hill in Barrens. Michel Koiter (along with his twin-brother René Koiter) was an influential and much loved artist for Blizzard at the time of his death (March 18, 2004). He dies due to a heart failure, caused by a fever, at the age of 19.

The first time I saw him/her/it, I was riding a wyvern. Later, I
climbed up to the Shrine to investigate
.
In fact, I don't think you
can
see it if you're dead. I later visited the Shrine in ghost form—no Koiter.
And as evidenced by the pronouns, I'd describe spirit healers as androgynous.

In the Barrens, south-west of the Crossroads on a hill is a memorial dedicated to an orc with the initials "M-K". Michel Koiter was an illustrator at Blizzard who died during the making of the game. To reach the memorial, follow a ridge to the southeast of the hill. Half-way up, you will find the base of a mound. Go up the trail to reach the memorial. If you visit the memorial in spirit form, you’ll find a spirit healer named Koiter. --Wikipedia
To see the orc and shrine with the initials, look behind the spirit healer.
EDIT: I did a little research and made sure it was Michel, not Michael. And I also came up with this site, where his twin brother, René, talks about Michel.

I think it is great that Blizzard did this for an illustrator tat wasn't able to see how WoW came out... =( Movie Made here by someone.... Youtube.

he looks like a spirit healer, you can't see him unless you're dead. cool place though =)

as my lvl 51 undead lock I saw him without being dead. He looks just like a regular spirit healer but named Koiter. I will experiment on him to see if he can resurrect like a normal spirit healer and more...

Was walking back from a quest and noticed something up on the hill that I never saw before. Turned on Eagle Eye and checked it out. I saw the shrine and then a few seconds later I saw the Spirit Healer. I walked up there, same thing, waited a few seconds and the SH showed up.

I submitted a screenshot and it wasn't in spirit form. Hopefully they put it up.
