The Ashbringer...
This legendary blade was forged with a strange dark crystal found on the body of a dead orcish
warlock.
It was picked up by Alexandros Mograine, turned from the shadow and purified by the Light.
As the scourge ran rampent acros the lands of Lordaeron and prince Arthas had picked
up Frostmourne, Mograine took the crystal to Ironforge where Magni bronzebeard turned
it into a weapon.
He believed that his Muradin had died when Arthas picked up the cursed blade so when
he used the great forge to make this weapon, he harnessed all of his rage, his fury, his
desire for vengeance.
He called upon them, willed them into being and with a warcry that bellow through the
vastness of the great forge, he brought the hammer down again, and again and again...
There are those who believe that master dwarven blacksmiths possess the ability to impart
their emotions into the blades they shape.
A finer blade has never been crafted by Magni’s hands and with Alexander Mograine turned the
undead enemy forces into ash, earning the name for the weapon and its wielder...Ashbringer...
For a time things were going well for the forces of the Light, until Mograine was betrayed
by his eldest son Renault who picked up the blade and stabbed his father in the back.
This action corrupted the blade and Alexandros was taken by Kel’thuzad and turned into
one of the 4 horseman.
Darion Mograine, his youngest son, went on a quest of saving his father which lead him
into naxxramas and into battle with his own family.
Darion was able to bring his father down, but his spirit was connected to the blade
and could not find rest.
It whispered to take the corrupted Ashbringer to the scarlet monastery where the spirit
of the father brought sweet justice to the treacherous son.
With that, Darion found himself in the possession of a dark corrupted blade, but he couldn’t
linger too much on it since the forces of Kel’thuzad were getting ready for an assault
on Lights Hope Chappel.
Tirion Fordring has told the boy that only an act of love greater than the act of evil
that corrupted the sword would be powerful enough to free his father’s soul, but be
warned: Such an act is often the ultimate test of faith.
In the face of the scourge army aproaching them, Darion decided to make that ultimate
sacrifice as he grabbed the blade and used it to take his own life, his soul for that
of his fathers and just before oblivion takes him, he glimpses the heavens opening up in
response.
The light crashes down decimating kelthuzads forces and saving the day, but not all was
lost for kel’thuzad.
With Darion’s sacrifice he had found a new victim to join the scourge ranks and lead
the corrupted Ashbringer into battle.
Fast forward a little to the wrath of the lich king time period where the Lich King
had his troops assault light’s hope chappel again only this time Darion wasn’t there
to protect it, instead he lead the charge.
The chappel resides on holy ground and the undead forces don’t stand a chance.
They’re brought before the chappel where TIrion Fordring himself explains that the
Lich King had send them to their doom.
The Lich King himself even shows up confirming that his death knights lives are meaningless
to him, but Tiron’s...Ahh how easy it was to draw the great Tirion Fordring out of hiding.
“apocalyps – TIrion catch – arthas!!!
What?!
SMACK DOWN”
Darion throws the corrupted ashbringer to Tirion and upon touching
it, the corruption is cleansed and used to not only force the Lich King to retreat on
that day, but also shatter Arthas’ heart and even Frostmourne itself giving heroes
the oppertunity to end Arthas’ reign as the lich king.
There must always be a lich king though and Highlord Tirion Fordring nearly took the job,
but luckily for him Bolvar Fordragon showed up claiming that :
“You and these heroes have your own destinty to fullfill – i will be the jailor of the
damned”
We leave Bolvar behind and after this moment, we can find Tirion and the Ashbringer within
Hearthglen but they haven’t really done much for the story.
Surely now with the Legion trying to invade azeroth once again, surely now will be the
time of destiny.
“Heroes – stay back it’s a trap.
The light...will.....ahhhhhhh”
For weeks the world believed Tirion to be dead and the ashbringer to be gone, but with
our war against the legion, this blades power would devastate the demonic forces.
Lord Maxwell believes that an old friend might be able to help us locate the weapon so we
travel to Uther’s tomb in the plaguelands to seek answers.
“It seems the Highlord’s absence has affected more than just the living”
We purify the graves and exorcise 9 spirits who are simply looking for a little bit of
comfort after Tirion’s passing.
Even Cannonneer Dargal, a character that helped Arthas and Jaina fight the scourge during
Warcraft 3, has apperantly died and now joins the other spirits in being disturbed.
After giving them all some peace with the grace of the light, it’s time to perform
the ceremony and ask the Lightbringer for guidance.
“Uther’s resting place lies just ahead” Begin when you
are ready.
Light, hear our prayers...for shadows close in around us.
Grant us this one audience, so the Ashbringer may yet save our world.
Maxwell, my old friend.
It’s been too long!
Uther, it’s really you!
You’re both doing the Light’s work, but if you seek to recover the ashbringer, you
must hurry.
Do you know where it is, Uther?
We risk everything if we return to that place.
I can feel the Ashbringer calling out from an island that lies close to the tomb of the
evil one.
And the blade is not alone...
Tirion still lives, but his light is fading.
You must move swiftly, or he will perish!
THat is all I can tell you.
GOod luck, friends.
Walk always in the Light.
Uther, wait!
I have more to ask you!
Uther!
If Tirion is still alive, we will save him... or die trying.
Tirion someway somehow has survived the events on the broken shores and has now for weeks
been in the hands of the legion...
Who knows what kind of torment has been inflicted upon his soul, time to ride out and save him.
“You brave souls have been chosen to strike into the depths of hell itself to rescue Highlord
Tirion.
This is your last chance to turn back.”
-- fly in to the broken shores, ready for battle!
“The demons before us are all that stand between us and the Ashbringer.
Regardless of the outcome, our families will know that we fought for the freedom and safety
of our world.
“Argent crusade – Chaaarge” Such arrogance...must be punished.
Our troops charge in to battle with the demons, but infernals crashing out of the sky obliterate
our forces and leave only the champion and lord Maxxwell standing.
He will signal for our hippogryph riders to get our fallen to Light’s hope chapel while
we forge ahead and find the Highlord!
With felfire raining from the sky, waves of demons trying to stoip us and dark inquisitors
tormenting alliance troops, we make our way Jailer Zerus and the highlord.
“Screams ... omg those screams.
The sundering of this one’s soul has been....taxing.
But he will be ours soon.”
No!
The Light burns in my heart...I will never surrender!
You will surrfer for a thousand lifetimes.
Nobbel!
By the light...
No!
The Ashbringer...must not...
Tirion.
By all that is holy...what have they done to you?
I’ll break Tirion free.
You must find the Ashbringer while there’s still time.
We travel through the tunnel and on the other side awaits the Dreadlord Balnazzar.
He was the one who so many years ago, turned Renault against his father and had him stab
him in the back.
He’s also responsible for the scarlet crusade as we see it today, fanatics who can no longer
see the difference between the living or the dead and even the headless horseman is because
of his doing.
Despite being taken down several days, being the demon that he is he returned and now he
has come to turn the ashbringer, both the wielder and the weapon, into a pawn for the
Legion:
“Ah, the light’s greatest champion has arrived to claim the holy Ashbringer and lay
waste to my kin.
They say only the pure can wield the highblade.
Come champion.
Claim your destiny Fly in - sparkly ashbringer – pick it up
I’ve been waiting for you, paladin.
Know that I will rip the soul from your flesh and make your body my own.
I will turn you into a weapon of the Legion.
I will use your hollow shell to corrupt and destroy everything you have ever loved, piece
by piece.
Noww, kneel.
Kneel before your new master.
Give me the strength...to shatter these bonds...
Cast unbreakable will, COMING FOR YA You can not fight my will.
You are mine.
Very well.
This will be a fine test.
Know that I am Balnazzar.
You are here because I will it . You live because I wil it.
And you will serve because I will it.
Do you think me so foolish as to stand alone?
Burn everything my pets.
Leave only ash.
Impressive.
I did not expect you to attune to the ashbringer so quickly.
No matter, I will finish you off personaly.
smak smack smack Enough.
Never again will that damned blade slay my brethren.
YOU...WILL...DIE!
You think this is over, paladin?
Our journey together has just begun...
“Our journey has just begun young prince”
Nobbel, you must come quickly.
Tirion called for you by name.
I fear he does not have long for this world.
Hurry!
Nobbel....come closer...
You must...wield the blade...you must...stop the legion...
You must become...the aaaashhbringer.
Highlord Tirion Fordring’s last light fades.
You will be missed, brother.
Highlord Tirion Fordring has passed away and the weapon, the title, the destiny of the
Ashbringer has been passed on to the champion to keep its legacy going.
Paladins from all of the world gather at Light’s Hope Chappel to join the ceremony and say
a final good bye before Tirion is to put to rest amongst the ancients heroes of the light.
The order of of the silver hand is reborn and under our leadership, it will venture
forth into the broken shores, find out about allies in the twisting nether and take the
battle to the legion, but that’s a story for another day.
For now thank you very much for watching everyone.
