[SPECULATION}Quel'Delar?

Сообщение от Thrakin

Figured I'd post this here since if my theory is true, then it's very lore-related.

While flying through Icecrown today I stumbled onto an interesting patch of ice.

http://i492.photobucket.com/albums/rr285/Imwatchingyou/WoWScrnShot_041709_053300.jpg

As you can see, for those not trusting keyloggers, it is a sword of the Northrend 1h sword model stuck into a patch of shattered, glowing ice. The subzone is named 'Quel'Delar's Rest', implying that the sword in question is QUel'Delar (hereby QD).

Now, I don't know if this has been added in this patch - nobody else seems to have noticed it. I have a few theories about it, though...

It could be...

- A future DPS legendary (melee or caster)?
- Involved in a Tournament quest (Lots of Qs there involve running to the end of the world and back for random weapons, though it's quite nearby)?
- Involved in the fight against Arthas in some way?

If it's any help, the blade's name translates to 'High Ancient Keepers' or 'The High Ancient Keeper' (Quel = High, Delar = Ancient Keepers)

I like the idea of #1, making it a Thori'dal #2 for melees or casters if introduced with 3.3. What do you think? I'm rather puzzled...

I've checked around; There's presently no lore around it. But the fact that it's seemingly magical / Stuck into Icecrown leads me to believe it's more than just a fluff item.

O_o
What I noticed about the sword is it is stuck IN the ice...Excalibur rip-off much?

That's pretty much the whole intention of the Argent Tournament. I wouldn't call them rip-offs though, but more references.

The best ones is the Black Knight though. Gotta love it. :)

I'd recommend you take a look at the wowwiki article of Quel'Serrar.

Quel'delar is probably this legendary sword imbued by all five dragonflights. My best guess is though that it will only be used to kill the Dark Knight in the Argent Tournament, as lame as it might sound. But - who knows. It'll be revealed in due time. I'm 100% certain though that retrieving it will be part of Argent Tournament, but doubtful it'll happen before the coliseum is built (=not during this patch) .

I was just trying to figure out something that sword...

All you've mentioned so far looks nice and alrighty, but I can't shake the impression that this sword is somewhat related to Frostmourne. The way it's stuck in the ice reminds too much of the way the Lich King drove Frostmourne through the ice just a few hundred yards south, to awaken Sindragosa.

It was probably the sword of a wanabe Lich King trying to raise a Frost Whrym of his own:

Wanabe: Behold, Arthas, I am more powerful then you!

Original: *The Lich King raises 100 Frost Whryms!*

Wanabe: ... damn...

Maybe perhaps, in future patches, this argent tournament will produce a "hero", who eventually helps you in the battle against arthas, using this sword. "Sword in the stone"-ish

Сообщение от dumac

hm it looks like the sword is in the dragonskull thru the ice and it is also glowing with magic in the bottom.

Perhaps if you pull out the sword you awaken the dragon. Possible New outdoor raid boss?

Anyone believe me if I said I stuck it there cause I wanted to do an epic super-hero-paladin seen in Icecrown? Didn't think so.... qq moar Leu, qq moar.

Anywho, I am positive that it's stuck in a giant skull, as to why? Who knows. Hopefully it turns out to be an interesting quest chain, or even an outdoor boss. It doesn't look anything like Quel'Serrar though, which King Varian and myself happen to have (he's got two).
