One Other Card...Bolfang

A very interesting article was presented at WoW Insider some time ago.

Someone had a thought about the fate of both Bolvar Fordragon and Saurfang the Younger.

As most everyone knows right now, these two did not meet with a happy ending during the events of the Wrathgate. Poor Saurfang got his soul sucked out by Frostmourne, and Bolvar died from the Forsaken plague cloud, and both were left there in front of the gate. Now, I had thought that all the greenery created by Alexstrasza had shielded both of their bodies, but that doesn't seem to be the case from some evidence given to us by none other than Yogg-Saron.

One of his memories is of the Lich King torturing an unknown individual. It is widely speculated that this being is an undead Bolvar, who is slowly and systematically being converted into Scourge. Now couple that with the fact that Arthas possesses the soul of Saurfang the Younger and put them together. The very first death knights were created by Gul'Dan during the second war between orcs and humans. He did it by taking the souls of dead orc warlocks and stuffing them into the bodies of slain Stormwind knights, creating guys like Teron Gorefiend and the others.

See the connection yet?

I consider the Scourge to be a nation of its own rights, one made up of undead mostly, but still a nation. It has a capitol in Icecrown, it has a king in Arthas, and it has its people. Most nations also have champions as well. Stormwind had Lord Lothar and Bolvar, Lordaeron had Uther the Lightbringer, etc.

I have a feeling that when Arthas opens the gates of Icecrown and pwns the living fuck out of the Argent Crusade (iterated on in my previous post), the Scourge forces are going to be led by their new champion.

Bolfang the Uber-DK, a possible new boss in Icecrown Citadel itself.

Scary.
