Comment by Daimore Come on, you're just forcing some of those. Storm's End and (especially) the Kingslayer don't have to reference anything other than the fights in WoW themselves. It just so happens such names are also used in the series, they're not necessarily A Song of Ice and Fire references. Comment by Aralnda This is awesome! Can't wait for more game of thrones and wow references to each other! Comment by Yashagoro There were no sad events in season 3, it was my favorite season! The wedding was to die for. (horrible pun intended).\r
Also, not necessarily WoW, but in Warcraft 3 Frozen Throne the final mission is called "A Symphony of Frost and Flame", which is an obvious nod to the book-series. Comment by Grokironhide The first quest Horde do in Frostfire ridge is called "A song of Frost and Fire" Comment by perculia Come on, you're just forcing some of those.

The top rated comment on that page is a Game of Thrones joke - enough players have speculated there's a connection so we wanted to include it :) Comment by kyle123xy Some of those feel a little forced. And I also think you are missing a couple. There's a world quest in Val'sharah that rotates between killing two harpies: Seersei or Maelisandra. One is a coincidence, but two is clearly a reference. Definitely to Cersei and Melisandre. Comment by perculia Some of those feel a little forced. And I also think you are missing a couple.

I think Seersei was a reference to Greek mythology Circe instead (I remember making a similar observation during beta and a lot of people corrected me). Comment by perculia The first quest Horde do in Frostfire ridge is called "A song of Frost and Fire"\r

Yep, that's in the general section. Comment by Sihian I recently started the series and I'm now at the start of season 3 (late to the party I know) and I love it! I never noticed these before! Comment by Komesar Jaime is best... to bad ther is not golden gauntlet for his arm :) Comment by nebocvet I think that the scene when the Night King kills Viserion is more a mix between the moment when Xavius kills Ysera in Val'sharah and when The Lich King raised Sindragosa. Comment by Mightylorddk Some of them look like biased to me (but maybe that's only me). I'd also like to mention Khaliisi. She's been there before GoT series were made so lots of people never noticed her. Comment by sblue One of the orc's racial mounts is a Dire Wolf and has GoT flavor text as well. Horn of the Dire Wolf Comment by aracheb While i agree that some of those are forced, specially the Kingslayer.\r
The rest of them specially the madking was spoke abouth and refenced before the patch came out, so i do believe those were place in there.\r
I also saw many GoT fan in my realm pointing to Amelia Clark and many other stuff like the Mad king spore and others. Comment by aracheb While i agree that some of those are forced, specially the Kingslayer.\r

I will not lie, the first thing that came to my mind when i saw the dragon being resurrected was sindragossa. Comment by Aurleis1 Regarding , which was part of Patch 3.3 (released December of 2009), didn't Game of Thrones season 1 first air in 2011 (two years after the title was available in wow)? Or do I have my dates mixed up regarding the implementation of the title? Or does the above list contain inspirations that Game of Thrones received from wow? Comment by peon1 Have not played my DK all expansion and I laughed when I saw the "White Walker" talent and "Winter is Coming". Good stuff. Comment by BritishVampire the show might have started in 2011 but the books started in the 90's. but i still don,t think its a reference, anyone who kills a king is called a kingslayer Comment by BlueOctopus Come on, you're just forcing some of those.

I quite agree with this. >_> Some of the newer ones maybe but don't force things that are 100% not true. xD Comment by vikingorock You left out Khaliisi it's a clear reference to "khaleesi" the title of Daenerys given by the Dothraki
