World of Warcraft: Ashbringer
Micky Neilson, Ludo Lullabi, Tony Washington · 2009
As the plague of undeath ravages Lordaeron, a blade is forged in secret and given to Highlord Alexandros Mograine, a paladin of the Silver Hand. The comic follows Mograine and his sons, Renault and Darion, through the war against the Scourge and the rise of the Scarlet Crusade, as the sword earns its name.
What this adds if you've played the games
If you ran Scarlet Monastery, chased the Ashbringer in the original game or started a death knight in Wrath, this is the story behind all three. It explains the Mograine family that the death knight starting zone is built around, and the Scarlet Crusade's leaders get faces. Four issues, so it's a short read. Save it for just before Wrath and the death knight intro lands harder.
Where it fits
- Read beforeWorld of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King
The Mograines' story ends where the death knight starting zone in Wrath picks it up. Read the comic first; it doesn't spoil the game.
