Take the staff to Stratholme. It is there that you will find a piece of consecrated earth: ground where the greatest knights of Lordaeron were murdered. Place the befouled staff upon the holy ground and prepare for an entity of immense power to break from within... Defeat the demonic being that controls the staff and return to me.

Comment by ahunter8056This is a brilliant idea. A very enjoyable read. Looking forward to more of this.Comment by ArrayaIt'd be nice if this could somehow become an HD appearance of a Mage Artifact Weapon.Comment by BReal85And the good news (gossip) is that the Director's Cut version of the movie for discs can be up to 40 minutes longer. Yamee!Comment by EighjanBy 'he', does Nielas mean Sargeras...?Comment by perculiaAnd the good news (gossip) is that the Director's Cut version of the movie for discs can be up to 40 minutes longer.

Yep, we covered this yesterday :)Comment by EighjanMedivh's significance would depend a lot on when in the lore the film takes place... as far as opening the Dark Portal is concerned, that is - that and mentoring Khadgar are pretty much all (OK; both pretty major events) he did.Comment by EighjanBTW (and kinda off-topic) - while Atiesh is in the frame, am I right in thinking that someone referred to Gul'dan as a MAGE, in an interview a while back...?Comment by BReal85BTW, I hope there will be a code for a companion pet in the BD steelbook case. :PComment by InterestTraitor's staff.Comment by KenjiT28BTW (and kinda off-topic) - while Atiesh is in the frame, am I right in thinking that someone referred to Gul'dan as a MAGE, in an interview a while back...?Comment by ShinyhunterLoboBy 'he', does Nielas mean Sargeras...?Comment by AenuirOne of my favorite characters, and I never play as casters! lolComment by remotettlsadly, no thunderfury was involved in movie :)Comment by davemacawesomeIt'd be nice if this could somehow become an HD appearance of a Mage Artifact Weapon.Comment by RheahsQuite interesting! A rare legendary with an epic questline. It was available during burning crusade, but either due to selfishness of pugs (40 splinters was a lot, and they weren't quest drops), outright bugs, or it actually still being hard (got to consider: raids went from 40 to 25, by the time Naxx pugs were happening people were 'set' for the 25 groups), not a lot were created!

During this expansion I ran into just one person other than myself who has one (a warlock). I'm a druid (guardian, off-course, pun intended), and I'm kind of looking forward to see if the portal will become useful again in Legion.

Interesting tidbits:

The portal used to be insta-cast for the druid staff only, the warlock staff (my former GM, he's not the one I encountered in WoD) didn't have that bug. It got fixed in (I believe) patch 2.3

As of 6.2.4 the little RP event in Karazan still works: shade of Aran still is... startled...

The druid version shows the ravens through shapeshifts, bears with ravens floating over them!
