Death Knights Accidentally Raise Two-Handed Axe as Fourth Horseman


As a result of a bizarre misunderstanding, the Knights of the Ebon Blade resurrected the final member of their new Four Horsemen yesterday: Trollbane, a two-handed battleaxe.

Trollbane, an epic-quality weapon sporting +20 Agility, +50 Stamina, and two Prismatic Sockets, joins Nazgrim, High Inquisitor Sally Whitemane, and Darion Mograine as the new Four Horsemen, raised to battle the Burning Legion at the behest of the Lich King and his new champion, the Deathlord.

When asked why the death knights would choose a literal axe to be one of their horsemen, Ebon Blade lieutenant Thassarian frowned and rubbed his forehead wearily.

"You know this blade..." he muttered. "Everyone does. A little too well, apparently. See, we actually wanted Whitemane to resurrect Thoras Trollbane, legendary warrior and former king of Stromgarde, to be the last horseman. Unfortunately, it seems there may have been some...miscommunication, somewhere along the way."

Thassarian sighed, watching the other three Horsemen attempt to buckle Trollbane into its new Deathcharger saddle.

"Well, what's done is done," he said. "I guess we'll just have to chalk this up to clerical error."
