Corrupted ASHBRINGER

ASHBRINGER
装备Ashbringer后进入Scarlet Monastery
[SWF]http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId=5979063928675969991&hl=en[/SWF]
Ashbringer was the sword of Scarlet Highlord Mograine. He was betrayed and murdered by his own son, and was resurrected as one of Kel'Thuzad's death knights.
Looting
Corrupted Ashbringer drops from the cache of the Four Horsemen in Naxxramus.
Drop rate is independent of kill order.
Effects
"Call of the Ashbringer" is an effect whereby Highlord Mograine whispers to the wielder. Exact quotes:
-"I was pure once."
-"Fought for righteousness."
-"I was called Ashbringer."
-"Betrayed by my order."
-"Destroyed by Kel'Thuzad."
-"Made to serve."
-"My son watched me die."
-"Crusades fed his rage."
-"Truth is unknown to him."
-"Scarlet Crusade is pure no longer."
-"Balnazaar's crusade corrupted my son."
-"Kill them all!"
"Will of the Ashbringer" is an effect which makes you exhalted with the Scarlet Crusade (although it does not appear in your reputation window) and hated by the Argent Dawn. Members of the Scarlet Crusade will face and kneel before you when in close proximity. This is effect occurs on equip; you regain your hated status with the Scarlet Crusade and normal status with Argent Dawn when it is unequipped.
Unique Scripted Encounter
Entering the Scarlet Monestary Cathedral with Corrupted Ashbringer equipped triggers a scripted event (see below for synopsis).
Lore
Ashbringer was crafted by Timolain, an Archmage of the Scarlet Crusade. However, Timolain was secretely a member of the Cult of Damned, and this eventually became known to the Crusade, and hence, Timolain was executed (speculation). Kel'Thuzad then resurrected him as a Lich like himself. However, he was again killed at the hands of the Crusade, leaving only his phylactery behind (a phylactery allows a lich to regenerate himself over time if it is not destroyed). A large vile slime consumed the phylactery and took on some of Timolain's powers.
Side Note: Timolain's Phylactery no longer drops from Large Vile Slimes as of patch 1.6. It may have originally been planned to be used in the Ashbringer questline, but when Naxxramus was in its inital planning stages Ashbringer may have been delayed as it would better coincide with Naxxramus content.
The sword crafted by Timolain took on the name of its wielder, Scarlet Highlord Mograine, The Ashbringer. His title is derived from his uncanny ability to smite undead; Mograine could slay them so fast that they would vaporize, surrounding him in a cloud of ash.
Highlord Mograine's son, Renault was a young member of the Scarlet Crusade. However, he secretly struck a bargain with Kel'Thuzad to eliminate his father. Presumably, in exchange Renault would take his father's place as commander of the Crusade.
During the invasion of Stratholme, Mograine easily pummeled through waves of the Scourge. However, he did not receive reinforcements and was eventually overrun. Even after dropping his sword, the Scourge forces were not enough to kill him. Others in battle, presuming he was dead, sent Renault to retrieve his father's sword. Renault instead took up the sword and drove it through his weakened father. He left the sword and reported to his comrades that it had been lost.
Kel'Thuzad then resurrected Highlord Mograine as a death knight, which also corrupted the sword.
Renault's betrayal was witnessed only by Inquisitor Fairbanks, Mograine's advisor, who was trapped under a pile of corpses. A few days later, Fairbanks escaped Stratholme and returned to the Scarlet Monestary, recounting Mograine's cold-blooded murder to any who would listen.
Renault had already assumed the position of Scarlet Commander at this time, and dismissed Fairbanks accusations. Fairbanks was taken into a secret room (where we find him in SM Cathedral) and murdered. Those members of the Crusade that heard and believed Fairbanks' story left the Monestary and formed the Argent Dawn.
Renault is the "Scarlet Commander" you face in SM Cathedral. Fairbanks was replaced by High Inquisitor Whitemane. Fairbanks was probably infected with undeath while in Stratholme, which is why you face him as an undead in SM Cathedral.
During the scripted event (see above), Highlord Mograine's ghost appears in full dreadnaught. He confronts his son, kills him, and removes Fairbanks' undeath. Highlord Mograine despawns, and Fairbanks tells you the story of Ashbringer (which you have just read).
Fairbanks goes on to tell you that the Corrupted Ashbringer cannot be purified-- the corruption is too deeply ingrained. However, Highlord Mograine's other, more pure son can craft a new Ashbringer. He resides in Outland.
Miscellaneous
Ashbringer has been in the game files (and thus datamined) since release. It's been a popular "carrot-on-a-stick" that Blizzard has held in front of player's noses. Despite this, Blizzard remained silent on whether it was actually obtainable, leading many players to think that it could be obtained via a secret quest line that noone had discovered yet.
On February 24th, 2006, Eyonix stated on the official forums that "It’s true that currently Ashbringer is not in the game, although one day in the future it will be, but not until after there is an awesome legendary item for casters.
" -- a now obvious refence to Atiesh.
Ashbringer is mentioned by several NPCs and items:
-Shendralar Zealots in Dire Maul will tell you that Prince Thortheldrin will reveal the location of the Ashbringer if you defeat Nefarion. However, even once Blackwing Lair was released, the Prince's lips remained sealed. This was probably part of the original questline involving Timolain's Phylactery.
-Nat Pagles Guide to Extreme Anglin' describes the location of Ashbringer (flavor item)
-Narain Soothfancy
-Bardu Sharpeye
-Caretaker Alen
-Alexia Ironknife
On the day that patch 1.11 went live, the WoW Chinese site had a picture of a paladin wielding Ashbringer (not corrupted). This image was removed shortly thereafter.
