Line 29:
** The end of the final battle with the Lich King {{spoiler|in which he declares that [[Xanatos Gambit|he allowed Tirion to lay siege to Icecrown Citadel so that whatever champions Tirion brought with him, the greatest of all of Azeroth's adventurers, the Lich King could kill and raise them as the generals of his army.]]}} At first it sounds like just an excuse for the Argent Crusade getting as far into his territory as they did; but then this troper realized that the Lich King has been operating under a "survival of the fittest" pattern for new recruits ''ever since the beginning''; it's how Death Knight initiates determined ranking, and how his Vrykul servants determined who would become elite guard and who would be shamed as zombies.
** There's also the fact that undead that are too weak to use in combat get fed to Gluth, a fairly difficult raid boss in Naxxramas, and when Tyrannus dismisses Jaina/Sylvanas' men as "not even fit to labor in the quarry" before making them mindless undead. The Lich King does not just amass large armies with his ability to raise the dead, but also is quite discerning about who would be best suited to serve him after being reanimated.
* Anyone who played around the initial release date of ''Wrath of the Lich King'' will begrudgingly recall how overpowered Death Knights were. They were given buffs, debuffs, pets, powerful armor, a starting level of 55, and were even, at one point, able to keep fighting for a while after death. Nearly every [[
* In the Storm Peaks, all of the Keepers of Ulduar were situated in some form of tower, most of them were elevated or up very high, save for Thorim and Freya. Thorim's tower was highest of all, which makes sense, since he is the keeper of thunder, so he can be closer to the clouds and lightning. While Freya's tower was completely on the ground, not elevated at all. Why? She is the keeper of life, and earth, so she can be on the earth so that things can grow.
* There was no draenei [[Retcon]]. The story of the eredar being complicit in the corruption of Sargeras was created and deliberately disseminated by Kil'jaeden. And because he's such an apt...well, ''[[Meaningful Name|deceiver]]'', people in-universe actually thought that it was the truth, and that's why it appears in historical texts (which is how the WCIII game manual should be viewed). — [[User:Farseer Lolotea]]
