What is the Ashbringer?

Ashbringer may not yet ring a bell for all World of Warcraft newbie players. So what is Ashbringer and what is the story behind it? Ashbringer is actually a sword of Alexandros Mograine of the Silver Hand who is a former Highlord. The blade was named after Alexandros "The Ashbringer" and his mysterious capability to chop the undead into ashes. Alexandros Mograine has a son named Renault who betrayed and murdered him using the sword.

It was then discovered that Mograine was ressurected as a Death Knight and he still kept the sword Ashbringer in his possession. However, the sword has already been defiled due to his murder and is now transformed and called the Corrupted Ashbringer. Later on, his son Darion was forced to kill his soul using the sword and killed himself as well. But when Darion betrayed Lich King, the sword was purified and was relinquished to Tirion Fordring.

Many players of World of Warcraft agree that the Ashbringer is one of the most hyped and lore-rich items in the game. Nevertheless, players still don't have the ability to obtain this item. He revealed facts about this item are expected to change in the future as the sword's story is slowly being revealed to players especially with the release of World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King.

So for those who would like to know more about the Ashbringer, here are some background information about this item. After the betrayal of Artha, the Silver Hand was dissolved while the leaders that remained gathered to form the Scarlet Crusade. The Highlord position was assigned to Mograine, while the Ashbringer became the most deadly weapon in their arsenal.

Then Balnazzar wanted to use the Scarlet Crusade as his weapon against the Scourge and set right the past failure of the Burning Legion to conquer the Lich King. But Mograine endangered the plans of Balnazzar. As a result, Balnazzar made an agreement with Kel'Thuzad to defeat the Highlord Mograine.

Balnazzar tried to corrupt the mind of Mograine's son, Renault. They connived and set up a trap in Stratholme for Mograine in order to kill him. Renault led his father there together with High Inquisitor Fairbanks, where the gang of Scourge awaited. While Mograine and Fairbanks are defending themselves against the enemy, Renault fled the scene.

As the fighting continues, Fairbanks got trapped under a pile of dead bodies while Mograine continued to battle the undead easily. However, Mograine finally got tired and dropped his blade due to fatigue. This was the time when his son Renault came out of nowhere, grabbed his father's sword Ashbringer and killed him.

As a result of his treacherous act, the blade was simultaneously corrupted. Renault then left the blade with his father's corpse and told the Crusade that it had been lost. The only witness to this heinous act was Fairbanks who could only hear it happen.
