This article is about the retribution paladin artifact from World of Warcraft: Legion. For history of the sword, see Ashbringer. For other uses, see Ashbringer (disambiguation).
Inv sword 2h artifactashbringer d 01

The Ashbringer is the artifact used by retribution paladins in World of Warcraft: Legion.

Source[]

This item is a quest reward from N Paladin [10-45] The Search for the Highlord.

Background[]

King Magni Bronzebeard forged the Ashbringer from a piece of crystal purified by wielders of the Holy Light. This gave the sword strange Light-bearing powers. It was named for its ability to slaughter undead, leaving nothing but ash in its wake. Ashbringer passed through several hands, serving both Light and Shadow, before it came to the legendary paladin Tirion Fordring, who used it to shatter the Lich King’s runeblade, Frostmourne, on the top of Icecrown Citadel. Tirion has carried Ashbringer with him ever since.[1]

Quotes[]

Upon killing enemies, very rarely the Ashbringer can speak to you, though it is not shown in text chat.

  • Courage is your greatest weapon.
  • Find the strength within.
  • Put your faith in the Light.
  • The Ashbringer...
  • Ashes to ashes.
  • In the Light, we are one.
  • Remain vigilant.
  • Unbreakable.
  • We stand together.
  • Hope... never dies.
  • Light, grant me one final blessing.
  • Do not lose faith.
  • This is our final stand.
  • The hour of justice has come.
  • We must unite.
  • Together.

I was a part of the community dedicated to figuring out how to obtain the Ashbringer, so those quests were really special to me. I did the hidden Ashbringer appearance as a tribute to those old clues!"
