Ashbringer is a powerful and legendary sword known for its use against the undead. Upon being forged, the sword was named after its original wielder, Alexandros Mograine, former Highlord of the Silver Hand, who was known as The Ashbringer during the wars against the Undead. Alexandros' oldest son, Renault betrayed and murdered him using the sword, transforming it into [Corrupted Ashbringer]. Alexandros was resurrected as a death knight and kept it in his possession until his younger son Darion was forced to kill him. Darion then used the sword to kill himself, attempting to free his father's soul which became trapped in the sword, and consequently became a death knight himself. The sword became purified after Darion betrayed the Lich King. He relinquished it to Tirion Fordring.
