UTHER THE LIGHTBRINGER

The Memorial of Uther the Lightbringer may be found at the Sorrow Hill, south of Andorhal in Western Plaguelands. Alliance players visit this place once a year during Hallow’s End to pay tribute to the fallen heroes. However, World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade introduced a new quest given by a Blood Elf at the Bulwark in Tirisfal Glades. In this quest, you are sent to defile the memorial monument of Uther, and this trigger a short event where the ghost of Uther Lightbringer floats in front of the statue. He doesn’t offer a quest, but in general channel you may read a text sending you back to the Blood Elf, delivering a message where he forgives his old student for wishing to defile his monument.

THE SO-CALLED MARK OF THE LIGHTBRINGER

Mehlar Dawnblade: I WILL have my revenge! I was once a pupil of Uther Lightbringer, founder of the Knights of the Silver Hand. I saw how he mishandled Prince Arthas’s training. It led to the destruction of my homeland, Quel’Thalas, and I blame Uther and his incompetence for all of it! And now he has a tomb in his honor - how lovely.

My sources tell me that the scarlet fools are keeping one of his “holy” relics atop their guard tower near the gates of Hearthglen.

Go to the Western Plaguelands and retrieve it for me.

QUEST OBJECTIVES

Obtain the Mark of the Lightbringer and return it to Mehlar Dawnblade at the Bulwark in the Western Plaguelands.

Rewards: 37S 50C

Mehlar Dawnblade: When you’ve managed to retrieve his ‘mark’, we’re going to change it a bit; make it better.

The first step is complete. Hand me the Mark of the Lightbringer and I will transform it into something more suitable.

Then my revenge will begin in earnest!

DEFILING UTHER’S TOMB

There, that’s better. I’ve added a little fel magic to it.

Now, you must take it to his resting place in the Western Plaguelands. Use the corrupted holy symbol in the presence of Uther’s statue to defile his tomb! You’ll have to get close for it to work.

QUEST OBJECTIVES

Defile Uther’s Tomb and return to Mehlar Dawnblade at the Bulwark in the Western Plaguelands within 30 minutes.

Rewards: 46S 50C


Ghost of Uther Lightbringer: Why do you do this? Did I somehow wrong you in life? Ah, I see it now in your mind. This is the work of one of my former students ... Mehlar Dawnblade. It is sad to know that his heart has turned so dark. Return to him. Return to Mehlar and tell him that I forgive him and that I understand why he believes what he does.

Mehlar Dawnblade: It is done, then? Uther’s Tomb is defiled?

Forgives me? He FORGIVES ME?!!!

I don’t care what that old ghost had to say - it was his fault! Everything that’s happened to Quel’Thalas was a result of his incompetence!

It is clear that the defiling did not work. Go, be gone from my sight! I must think this through.
