Ashbringer/Old Hillsbrad Ashbringer event

In the Southshore inn within the Old Hillsbrad Foothills instance, many of the leaders of the Silver Hand (and some of the future leaders of the Scarlet Crusade)—Commander Mograine, Arcanist Doan, Isillien, Tirion Fordring, Abbendis, and Fairbanks—can be seen gathered around a table with a large chest on it. When a player enters the inn, they will begin discussing the impending Scourge invasion from Northrend, and reveal the origin of the Ashbringer.

This event is portrayed very differently in Death is Contagious, the first issue of the Ashbringer comic.

• In the comic, the meeting takes place much later: a few days after the Culling of Stratholme instead of during Thrall's escape.
• Tirion Fordring had already been exiled from the Silver Hand, meaning he was not present at the event.
• Brigitte Abbendis was not present either; instead, her father High General Abbendis was.
• The name "Ashbringer" was not coined by Alexandros until much later, after Magni Bronzebeard had forged it into a sword and Alexandros saw the effect it had on the undead.
