I was walking about in Old Hillsbrad Foothills getting some rumsey rum for my twink, when i noticed a few names talking around a table behind me.
I wasn't paying much attention at first but then i realised i was watching the unfolding of part of the Ashbringer storyline, it involved alot of names i remembered seeing throughout the game including:
Fairbanks
AKA High Inquisitor Fairbanks
Now an undead boss in Scarlet monastary, however when Mograine was killed by his son, Fairbanks saw this and was hence locked up behind the cathedral in Scarlet Monastary. In the scripted event that happens when one enters Scarlet Monastary with the Ashbringer equiped Fairbanks is ressurected as a human.
Commander Mograine
AKA Commander Mograine: In the future he became one of the four horsemen in the encounter in the old 40 man Naxxramas, he has since been replaced with Baron Rivendare because Ashbringer was given to Tirion Fordring in the quest The Light of Dawn, one of the last quests in the Death Knight starting area.
