Quote:Have you played through the DK area? If so, then you would know what happened with the Ashbringer. The actions at Light's Hope dictate that *this* cannot be Ashbringer. And the actions at Light's Hope occur just before the Alliance and Horde launch their assault on Northrend. Either Blizzard's quest designers and story line people didn't communicate properly or the blade in question *cannot* be Ashbringer.
Tirion <span style="color:#32270e">cleanses Ashbringer at Light's Hope Chapel and uses it against Arthas (spoilers masked). That's the ONLY Ashbringer-related lore during the DK quest. As long as Tirion sent someone else to take Ashbringer to Northrend (as the text I quoted heavily implies), there's absolutely no reason why that blade cannot be Ashbringer.
In fact, I'll go so far as to say it doesn't make sense UNLESS it is the Ashbringer they are talking about.
