Interesting Speculation

Here is the Video of the Cutscene for the Horde.

Sylvanas – I… I don’t believe it! Frostmourne stands before us, unguarded! Just as the Gnome claimed. Come, heroes!
Sylvanas – Standing this close to the blade that ended my life… And the pain… It is renewed!
Sylvanas – I dare not touch it. Stand back! Stand back! As I attempt to commune with the blade. Perhaps our salvation lies within.
Uther – Careful, girl! I’ve heard talk of that cursed blade saving us before. Look around you, and see what has been born of Frostmourne!
Sylvanas- Uther! Uther the Light Bringer! How…
Uther – You haven’t much time. The Lich King sees what the sword sees. He will be here shortly!
Sylvanas – The Lich King is here? Then my destiny shall be fulfilled on this day!
Uther – You cannot defeat the Lich King! Not here. You would be a fool to try! He will kill those that follow you and raise them as powerful soldiers of the scourge! But for you, Sylvanas. His reward for you will be worst than the last.
Sylvanas – There must be a way!
Uther – Perhaps, but know this. There must always be a Lich King. Even if you were to strike down Arthas, another would have to take his place. For without the control of the Lich King, the scourge would wash over the world like locusts, destroying all that they touched.
Sylvanas – Who could bear such a burden?
Uther – I do not know, banshee queen. I suspect that the piece of Arthas that might be left inside the Lich King is all that holds the scourge from annihilating Azeroth.
Uther – Alas, the only way to defeat the Lich King is to destroy him at the place where he was created.
Sylvanas – The Frozen Throne!
Uther – I… Aargh… He… He is coming… You… You must…
Sylvanas – You will not escape me that easily, Arthas! I will have my vengeance.
Sylvanas – He’s… Too powerful! Heroes, quickly, come to me! We must leave this place at once! I will do what I can to hold him in place while we flee.
Sylvanas – There’s an opening up ahead. Go, now!
Sylvanas – We’re almost there, don’t give up!
Sylvanas – Blasted, dead end! So this is how it ends. Prepare yourselves heroes, for today we make our final stand!
Sylvanas – We are safe, for now. His strength has increased ten-fold since our last battle! It will take a mighty army to destroy the Lich King, an army greater than even the Horde can rouse.
Sylvanas – Champions, to my aid! Keep the Lich Kings scourge from interfering, and I shall break down this barrier!
Sylvanas – No wall can hold the banshee queen! Keep the undead at bay heroes, I will tear this barrier down!
Sylvanas – Another barrier? Stand strong, champions! I will bring the wall down!
Sylvanas – I grow tired of these games, Arthas! Your walls can’t stop me!
Sylvanas – You won’t impede our escape, fiend. Keep the undead off me while I bring this barrier down!

Uther – Perhaps, but know this. There must always be a Lich King. Even if you were to strike down Arthas, another would have to take his place. For without the control of the Lich King, the scourge would wash over the world like locusts, destroying all that they touched.
Sylvanas – Who could bear such a burden?
Uther – I do not know, banshee queen. I suspect that the piece of Arthas that might be left inside the Lich King is all that holds the scourge from annihilating Azeroth.
Uther – Alas, the only way to defeat the Lich King is to destroy him at the place where he was created.
Sylvanas – The Frozen Throne!

Notice that uther mentions that there must always be a lich king no matter what. Also that If it wasn’t for The Lich King the scourge would wipe out the world pretty much. Then Uther goes on to mention that it is the small piece of Arthas inside the Lich King that is keeping the scourge from completely annihilating Azeroth. So if you think about it, even though Arthas has done all these bad things, he is doing the greater good deed by not allowing the scourge to reign of Azeroth and completely destroying it.

Pretty interesting stuff just thought I would share with you guys!

The Feast of Winter Veil

  • Vitals
Type: Holiday
Date: December 15 – January 2
Location: Most Major Cities
Available to:

The Feast of Winter Veil is a yearly World Event that occurs around the time typically celebrated as Christmas around the world.  It involves gift-giving, holiday revelers, and visits from an NPC dressed similarly to the famed Father Christmas.

The event typically includes many quests, special holiday items, unique boss drops through its duration, and now with Wrath of the Lich King, special achievements created specifically for the Feast of Winter Veil.  On this page you can find a bevy of information on the event to help you along the way as you participate.  The tabbed section below can be navigated to browse that particular section of content.


Greatfather Winter

Greatfather Winter is visiting the great cities of Ironforge and Orgrimmar – courtesy of the fine folks of Smokywood Pastures and he’s spreading cheer in celebration for the Feast of Winter Veil. But, all the cheer-spreading is making Greatfather Winter hungry, and he’s looking for adventurers to get him his daily fix of milk and cookies.

Revelers

During the Feast of Winter Veil, the innkeepers bring out holiday decorations to provide a festive atmosphere for their patrons. Who knows what might happen if you /kiss a reveler standing near a sprig of mistletoe….

Gift-Giving

In the quiet, early hours of the 25th of December, the industrious goblins of Smokywood Pastures are already awake. As a much-deserved reward for the noble adventurers throughout Azeroth, these generous harbingers of the holidays deposit gifts underneath the decorated trees in Orgrimmar and Ironforge. Keep a keen eye out for these presents, as they’re there for the taking!

Starts: December 25
Ends: January 2

Gift Contains
Special 2009 Winter Veil gift

Jinglepocket Goblins’ Fare Shops

The Jinglepocket Goblins have set up their seasonal fare shops in major cities. Adventurers can purchase many holiday favorites – including Greatfather’s Winter ale, candy canes, gingerbread cookie recipes, and mistletoes.

Snowballs

Whether you pick them up from your local vendor or ask a friendly engineer to craft them for you, no feast of Winter Veil is complete without some frozen projectile-weapons. Get your mitts on some snowballs and say, “Merry Feast of Winter Veil” the old-fashioned way!

Snowmen

Accompanying Greatfather Winter in his journeys across Azeroth are his loyal troops of snowmen. They can be found wandering around Ironforge and Orgrimmar, bringing with them the chill breath of winter into even the warmest climates.

With the Feast of Winter Veil after the release of Wrath of the Lich King, you can now find the winter hats on the Northrend bosses listed below.

The history of the Feast of Winter Veil, taken from the official Feast of Winter Veil page.

Quote from: Blizzard (Source)

The later seasons of Azeroth are marked as a time of change in many cultures. The Dwarves and the Tauren especially look to a legend of the coming Winter Veil – the blanketing of the land in snow, thus heralding a time of renewal – as a time for celebration.

The term “Winter Veil” is said to stem from a supernatural being referred in many cultures to as Greatfather Winter. As he would walk the land late in the seasons, winter itself would be his billowing cloak. In his wake was the blanketing of the land in snow, and thus it is said that Greatfather Winter would cast his wintry veil over the land. Though parts of Azeroth may lie in snow, it gives the land time for rebirth and renewal.

The idea of feasting during this time of year is one that traces its origins to the legend itself. As Greatfather Winter walked Azeroth, it is said he would provide a bounty for those who welcomed his presence. As such, the idea of feasting during the winter veil would bring together communities as they shared whatever they had. Typically, a single day of merriment and feasting welcomed the change, all in anticipation of the land’s renewal.

Other cultures have begun to recognize the Feast of Winter Veil as a time of great celebration, though not in the same traditions as the legend bases it in. Customs, often unrelated to anything other than a chance for celebration and gift exchange, have made their way into modern observation of the season. Even the image of Greatfather Winter is sometimes used, but more as a harbringer of commercial exploit rather than as a supernatural titan.

Grom Hellscream and his clan had rallied with the up-and-coming chieftain Thrall in the battles to free themselves from the humans and in the journey to Kalimdor. Mannoroth, the demon Pit Lord and master of the Fel Orcs, wanted to curse Grom and his clan again with his demon blood to make them Fel Orc savages once more under his command.

However, Thrall was able to get to Grom in time to purge the demon blood once again and to cleanse him, but Mannoroth would not give up his orc servants so easily.

Mannoroth, had started to work his fell magic again on him and his clan. This time, Grom would not fall again under the curse, no matter the cost…

Rare Spawn Raptor Nests
The rare raptors that dropped the raptor non-combat pets, will not drop them anymore in 3.3. The pets will now spawn in a lootable nest nearby. Here is a blue post related to it.

Item

  • Hatchlings: Leaping, Darting, Razormaw, and Ravasaur Hatchlings no longer drop from their associated rare creatures. Instead, there are now rare nests that spawn which contain these hatchlings. For example, the Leaping Hatchling can now be found in Takk’s Nest rather than as a drop from Takk the Leaper.
