Mograine knew he couldn't allow his native land to be destroyed by the foul forces of undeath any more than he could the orcs before them, and so he gathered those men and women of good conscience and strong faith in the light to meet him in Southshore, and presented them with the shadow orb he'd wrested from the orc warlock at Blackrock Spire. ![]() So he chose to keep it hidden in a locked iron chest.Īfter the battle with the orcs, Alexandros Mograine retired to a rural life, doing his best to raise his sons alone in the absence of his deceased wife. This crystalline orb seemed to contain a shadow magic of unheard of power, and Mograine, despite having been maimed and withered in the hand that grasped it, believed there was merit in the item. At this battle, while the orcs were being routed by Turalyon, Mograine encountered an orc warlock wielding a dread crystal that was suffused with such terrible fel energies that even after striking the warlock down, Alexandros was damaged merely by touching the item. Alexandros was one of the paladins who fought at the battle of Blackrock Spire. We know that Mograine had two sons, Darion and Renault, and that he was married to Elenam who died after giving birth to his younger son Darion. But to speak of the blade, first we have to speak of the man - for it was by the actions of Alexandros Mograine that the blade came into existence. We speak of both, for both were the Ashbringer. The man was a tireless crusader for his people, who stood against the forces of the Scourge - and when he did, whole armies of the undead were as ash. The weapon is one of the most powerful ever forged, crafted by the hand of a dwarven king mourning a brother he believed slain, made with a chunk of crystal from another world. Unlike other KYL's we've written here, this one's actually about two things - a person, and a weapon. You're playing the game, you're fighting the bosses, you know the how - but do you know the why? Each week, Matthew Rossi and Anne Stickney make sure you Know Your Lore by covering the history of the story behind World of Warcraft. ![]() The World of Warcraft is an expansive universe.
