• In the story, Aurora Skycaller and Renthar Hawkspear tell Lor'themar that Nathanos Marris died at the hands of the Scourge but never became Scourge himself, instead being called to Sylvanas' service before Arthas had a chance to sway his will. However, Nathanos himself told Horde players that he was raised as a member of the Scourge before later being freed by Sylvanas, a version of events supported by Dark Mirror and World of Warcraft: Sylvanas.
