Each race has their own unique style of this quest. Knight Commander Plaguefist requests you to execute an Argent Dawn member of the race your Death Knight is. When you confront the prisoners they begin a dialog hinting release from the Lich King and hope.

This is the Undead dialog:

Come to finish the job, have you?
Ironic, isn't it? To be killed...
<name>?
<name>, I'd recognize that decay anywhere... What... What have they done to you, <name>?
You don't remember me, do you? We were humans once - long, long ago - until Lordaeron fell to the Scourge. Your transformation to a Scourge zombie came shortly after my own. Not long after that, our minds were freed by the Dark Lady.
A pact was made, brother! We vowed vengeance against the Lich King! For what he had done to us! We battled the Scourge as Forsaken, pushing them back into the plaguelands and freeing Tirisfal! You and I were champions of the Forsaken!
Listen to me, <name>. You must fight against the Lich King's control. He is a monster that wants to see this world - our world - in ruin. Don't let him use you to accomplish his goals AGAIN. You were once a hero and you can be again. Fight, damn you! Fight his control!
Knight Commander Plaguefist yells: What's going on in there? What's taking so long, <name>?
There... There's no more time for me. I'm done for. Finish me off, <name>. Do it or they'll kill us both. <name>... Remember Tirisfal! This world is worth saving!
Do it, <name>! Put me out of my misery!

He's 100% right! The Forsaken WAS the people of Lordaeron that now is Undercity / Tirisfal... The 1st king of Lordaeon was Terenas Menethil... He died and hi's son took over and guess who it was... ARTHAS! He were once the great and noble human, but became the Lich King because *he* commanded Arthas to kill hi's father and even Lord Uther the Lightbringer! Sad thou... Tried to cleanse the land of Lordaeron, but became the Lich Kings minion and later the Lich King himself...

If youre having a hard time getting the person to talk to you, it might be because someone else was going through the script when you ran up to them. I found that backing away until they respawn, and then running back up to them will solve this :)

undead and night elf got the best dialogue

don't let your ghoul kill him -.-

Comment by dreadblood

hehe.. i think I'm the only one who enjoys this quest.... particularly when u get to do an overkill.... (the NPC has about 5hp and u do about 550 damage to them :D)

Comment by JaxOh1

I dont play horde...but i just read all 10 of this quest, and this definiately is the most dramatic.....having to break free twice from the Lich King's contrul? harsh.....
Gotta say Draunai, NE, and BE are the next most.

When I first did this quest on an undead DK, I let him finish his speech, then did the undead laugh, then struck him down in one shot.

First, abour being the undead of undead, The Lich King, in the specific case of Forsakens, just have to do a little brainwashing and 'Tada: A DK!'
It makes his job really easy, he just have to break the mind from Sylvannas' followers and that was it.

About the Quest, god, this, with the Blood elfs and Night elfs are the sadest. But the Undeads touch more because this time they are falling again, taking revenge of what they do to you and 'Paf!' now you return to your mindless zombie state. Oftenly the Argent and Crusade Dawn undead members seems the most prepared but the ones who suffer with the quest (kill, someone, burn it).

D: This quest is just epic in their race.

"Anotoine Brack dies from his wounds"
I lol'd. If you don't kill him in time, he actually dies from his wounds and you have to wait until he respawns again to complete the quest.

It's like having an evil relapse

Comment by zephar

Remember to set your pet on passive if you do this as unholy after patch 4.0.1 took me a good while to figure that one out. (pet kills the npc instantly when it goes hostile and you dont get credit for the kill)

The Argent Dawn - and Argent Crusade by extension - are AWESOME.

I mean, look at this - there's Orcs up in here and Forsaken and they don't give a damn what people think. The Light is for everyone, and even if you don't follow the Light exactly, so what? If you're a good person who wants to make the world a little better, you get to come party with Tirion.

Epic forever.

A Special Surprise

Knight Commander Plaguefist at the Chapel of the Crimson Flame has ordered you to execute Antoine Brack, an Argent Dawn prisoner inside the nearby prison house.

	Antoine Brack slain (1)

Description

We got here, tore the place apart, and headed toward the prison house. We weren't expecting what we found in there, <name>. Seems the Crusade's been real busy. That whole thing is full of Argent Dawn prisoners. Most of them were already dead by the time we arrived, but a few were still breathing.

I was about to go in there and execute the rest of them, but I think you should have the honors. In particular, there's a real feisty Forsaken in there that I think you'll take great pleasure in executing.
