Archmage Antonidas was the head of the Kirin Tor of Dalaran. He was also the teacher of Jaina Proudmoore.

The quote is very similar to "The Serenity Prayer", a prayer used by recovering addicts. Ironically, the prayer is also referenced in a male Blood Elf joke, but the Blood Elf breaks down halfway through the prayer because of his intense addiction to magic.

This is accually what various NA and AA(Narcotics and Alcoholics anonymous) groups say after every meeting

Very thorough words, sort of like Gandalf / Obi-wan

Haha, this is the Serenity Prayer most known for being the official Alcoholics/Narcotics Anonymous prayer and used in a number of other 12 step programs. Magic junkie?

He was the leader of Dalaran for so many years, yet he can't even afford to throw a gold coin in his own fountain? What is Azeroth coming to?

When someone is QQ'ing about something, give them this.

Knowing Blizzard, I was expecting some kind of parody. But instead they simply went with the common form of the prayer.

Kommentar von Ainhin

Out of all the coins, I like this one the most. A message where you just sit back and think.

Wait...Antonidas was an alcoholic?

I'm surprised no one has commented on this yet...
The quote itself does indeed ring with wisdom but the fact that Antonidas has wished for this makes him a hypocrite.
Antonidas -wishing for the strength to accept the things he cannot change, the courage to change the things he can and the wisdom to know difference- was instead granted the complete opposite.
Warned by the Prophet Medivh of the coming Burning Legion and its plans of invasion, he ignored the Guardian's plight to band together with the races of Azeroth and arrogantly declared that he had better things to do, shooing Medivh away as nothing more than a psychotic mage and a waste of his time.
He instead turned his attention to the growing plague, a futile effort on his part as the process was so far into motion that it was already too late to stop the distribution of infected goods and with it, the Plague that would kill so many. His demands to quarantine those not yet infected in Lordaeron fell to deaf ears and he was eventually killed by the very force he sought to stop.
In the end, Antonidas did not have the strength to accept the fact that he could do nothing to stop the creeping plague. He did not have the courage to put faith in Medivh's words and work together with the other races of Azeroth to put a halt to the Burning Legion's plans. Finally, he lacked the wisdom to tell apart his futile cause from a more dire (and judging from the battle at the world Tree, Nordrassil, far more effective) calling.
This coin and the well it was thrown in are no doubt silently giggling at the old man's own foolishness.
Or perhaps it was Antonidas' own weariness -and wariness- that was his downfall...

He may was a fool for not listening Medivh, BUT...

Most badass flavor text on coin. EVER.

Kommentar von 337363

i'm just wondering how they write something in a coin before throwing it on the fountain? and how we can catch those coins with a fishing pole.

"Duties I...and Terenas, Light rest his soul...both shirked. Because of his refusal to listen to that strange prophet, he ended up murdered by his son, and his kingdom lies in ruins, inhabited only by the dead. I, too, was asked, and I, too, had the arrogance to assume I knew best. And so, my dear, here we are. We all must live - or die - by our decisions."
-Antonidas in Arthas: Rise of the Lich King

Guess he got his wish after all. In a way.

Why is Antonidas quoting an extremely old Christian prayer?

Kommentar von 936989

Amen.
