~~According to the Armory this awesome weapon now has a third red socket!~~ Wowhead has been updated to reflect the change.

As of 3.3.2, this is Second-BiS until Shadowmourne is available to your character, likely to remain this way for the remainder of WotLK.

Kommentar von Orranis

Though I see no particular named weapon such as this in regular lore, the Knight's of the Silver Hand is an organization of Paladins formed after the first war, and battling through the second. It was destroyed by the Plague around the time of the Third War. Some broke off and created the Scarlet Crusade. Right now, it is in the combined force of the Argent Dawn and the Silver Hand, called the Argent Crusade, attacking the Lich King in Northrend. Arthas was once a Paladin of the Silver Hand, however he betrayed them when his soul was taken by Frostmourne, killing many of their highest members, including Uther the Lightbringer himself.

It could be a placeholder model, folks...

Kommentar von 339075

Shadowmourne also has 25 more Strength.

Kommentar von midnightstar

disappointing? shadowmourne has more strength and more sockets, as well as ArP instead of Expertise (which is a debatably good change depending on how close to the cap you are... and you should damn well be capped if you're doing the lich king on heroic)

furthermore, the difference between thunderfury and other L60 tanking swords: the amazing proc.
The difference between val'anyr and other ilvl-245 healing maces: the amazing proc
the difference between the glaives of azzinoth and other L70 dps swords: the amazing proc (on the set bonus)

and shadowmourne's proc is nothing if not amazing.

Kommentar von 469068

You can see why it's held together by duct tape. THE END IS BREAKING OFF... or at least, floating slowly away.

Kommentar von Invulon

Honestly expertise seems rather unnecessary. Cap isnt that high and most people whos raiding ICC with their planned setup should be capped anyway. Model isnt that great im hoping that its just a placeholder. Its supposed to be "High-Blade of the Silver Hand". It should look.. more paladin ish.

Kommentar von terranor

I was hopping those weapons would at least get a unique model :/
Maybe it's a PH? Please let it be a PH...

Kommentar von Bareno

This version of the sword on wowhead is missing a red socket... Link

Kommentar von 410547

Almost all weapons dropped by the Lich King make reference to Arthas Menethil in his path of destruction before becoming the Lich King.

This weapon makes reference to the Knights of the Silver Hand, a faction who's leader was Uther Lightbringer, whom was killed by Arthas to retrieve Terena's Urn.

In-deep lore: http://www.wowwiki.com/Uther_the_Lightbringer

Im just trying to imagine how Fury warriors with Titan's Grip feel.
Glorenzelg, High-Blade of the Silver Hand + Shadowmourne... why did I role priest?

Kommentar von LordSothe

Why is there a skull on the Highblade of the Silver Hand?

Kommentar von 384662

Why, oh why, does it have to have expertise? :(

Kommentar von 263972

Lol
random facts

Blizz maybe didnt noticed it, or maybe they does.

This sword stats is an Almost Exact opposite of Shadowmourne
just missing 1 str tho..

Kommentar von nikbos

Which makes this the BiS DK tanking Wep!
All other classes should not roll on this wep. (=

Kommentar von 53867

Apparently, even loot that drops from the very last boss in this expansion, on heroic mode no less, includes duct tape.

Everything in WotLK is made better by duct tape. Could you imagine these weapons without duct tape? They would be horrible.

Kommentar von 445357

When its on a filter, it turns out as:

Glorenzelg, High-blade of the Silver HaHeroic

Kommentar von 268602

glorenzelg,highblade of the lazy devs who couldn't be arsed to give the weapon,which drops of the lich king,an epic encounter who is also the last boss of an expansion,a unique model....of the whale

Kommentar von zomg5

actually the argent crusade was made up from the argent dawn, knights of the silver hand and a small portion of the scarlet crusade thats what it said while the rest of the scarlet crusader becomes the scarlet onslaught
and now the AC and KotEB joined forces to become the ashen verdict to bring some justice to the lich king.

well we all know that arthas is dead and hopefully we wont have to fight the new much more powerful lich king formerly known as highlord Bolvar Fordragon

Kommentar von 122372

Wow...judging from the graphics LET PLAYERS DESIGN SOME ITEMS! I think it would be a great way to encourage artists to come out of the woodwork. Cataclysm would then be this amazing place, where instead of duct tape there are magical, elemental reagents and nearly every item is unique because the design team = 100,000 something people that know how to use photoshop.

Just my opinion, but these lame models have GOT to stop.

Kommentar von LordSothe

This is the weapon wielded by Darion Mograine in Icecrown Citadel. Same model, at least.

Kommentar von 150795

considering the flavor text anyone else find it ironic that the world first 25 normal LK kill was achieved by the guild Paragon?

Kommentar von 425938

parries in power with shadowmourne. i have a lvl 80 fury warrior, and the size of the q line to get shadowmourne, i would gladly choose this instead.

Kommentar von 425938

3d image looks @#$%ing sweet =O red model ftw

Kommentar von 481166

I Like it. Shadowmourne is very hard to get, and b/c you have to fight LK in Heroic mode, it makes this pretty hard to get as well. But if I had no money to get all the saronite, not to have the time to kill 1,000 undead in ICC, get the blood, stand infront of Sindragosa's frost breath 4 times, and all that other crap, and i was geared to fight the LK, i would go after this weapon. The only difference between the two weapon is the fact this has Expertise instead of ArP, and it doesnt have the proc. But All in All, this is a kick ass weapon, but if i did have all that awesomeness required for Shadowmourne, it would look nice hanging from my wall.

Kommentar von Megamoose

I came a little bit.

Kommentar von 242777

Given the difficulty of the heroic Lich King encounter it is highly likely that less of these swords will exist than Shadowmournes.

Kommentar von Nedjen

Ppl are commenting this, but the Lich King won't be the last boss of the expansion.

In 3.3.5 we will have the Ruby Sanctum (in the chamber of the aspects). Thus, I really believe we will have some patch to introduce cataclysm before it patches in.

Yes, the LK is the protagonist of the expansion, but not the last boss :P (may be the harder too, but still, not last!)

Kommentar von Imortalius

no socket bonus?

Kommentar von Matt327

'Paragon of the Light, lead our armies against the coming darkness"
World first guild to get this was Paragon

Just a Fun fact, And a weird coincidence. O.o

Kommentar von 363245

First person to get this amazing sword.
http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Lightning%27s+Blade&n=Mancheese

I like how the flavor text reads "Paragon of the Light, lead us..." and it was Paragon that got the world first kill of 25 H LK and got this sword for one of their players.

Kommentar von Rocker742

Now.. If you notice.. Arthas was formerly a paladin (cough silver hand) and took up frostmourne (cough ebon blade)

am sowwy wut?

Kommentar von xfloggingkylex

Interesting bit of information, the world first heroic lich king kill by Paragon of EU-Lightning's blade had this drop. Funny that the first guild to have this weapon drop is mentioned in the yellow text on the blade.

http://www.mmo-champion.com/news-2/lich-king-25-heroic-world-first-kill-by-paragon/

Kommentar von 517387

Interesting fact regarding this weapon: far too many has pointed out the coincidence of this dropping on the world first kill for Paragon!

Kommentar von 553566

"Paragon of the Light, lead my soul against the coming darkness"

Kommentar von zawyer

Coincidence that Paragon, who got LK hc world first is mentioned in the yellow text?:p

Kommentar von 569581

i love how this weapon is the high-blade of the most holy group of npc's since
the argent crusade and it has skulls and death and destruction written all over it....would arthas have anything to do with that....i dont know

Kommentar von 570991

I've heard many wondering about the meaning of the word "Glorenzelg". Although it might be thought up at random by a Blizzard employee (and there's a fair chance that's the case), I've done some researching into it, and have come to an interesting translation.

It would seam the word "Glorenzelg" can be derived from the old-Dutch/High German words 'gloren' and 'telg'. Gloren refers to the light of the morning dawn. Even in contemporary Dutch 'ochtendgloren' means 'dawn'. 'Zelg' (or 'telg') is somewhat more difficult to translate. In both old and contemporary Dutch 'telg' refers to the offspring of a nobleman or family. Whether it be a prince or just a child. However, it is very likely that in old-Dutch and High German, both extinct languages of over 1000 years old, 'telg' could have referred to child in general.

Regarding this, I think I can come to a sound and plausible conclusion that the word "Glorenzelg" may be freely translated to "Child of Dawn's Light". Also regarding the context of the blade (High-Blade of the Silver Hand), this translation seems correct.

Kommentar von Mystery21

This sword has the same item lvl as shadowmourne, so for those who hate doing long questlines and don't care about LEGENDARY items, this is the weapon for you! (even though the proc from shadowmourne is verry verrry good), this sword has ABOUT the same goodness as the Shadowmourne.

by "ABOUT" i mean sorta close, but not 2 good. and with the proc, shadowmourne is like 2x better, mayb 1/2. (with the proc effect currently on)

Kommentar von 403107

The Lich King was probably drunk and him and Professor Putricide were having a laugh...so they wrapped this weapon in duct tape...and put a couple of skulls on.

Kommentar von 129936

Very interesting.. Anyone can can read this sword said "Paragon of the Light, lead our armies against the coming darkness." As real guild name Paragon is the first world killed LK 25 on hard modes.

Kommentar von 543619

..................Hunter loot?....

Kommentar von 293098

BiS for Dk tanking, together with the ilvl 277 PvP axe (PvP weapon EH wise, this threat wise).
This and 2nd tier PvP weapon are both better than shadowmourne for DK tanks.
Ofcourse other classes are able to roll on this, because well.. it's an upgrade for almost every Melee DPS in you raid that uses 2 handers.

Kommentar von icritmypants

non-unique? that can mean only one thing...someone has to duel wield.

Kommentar von yojimbo

If you look at the flavor text for another Lich King drop Oathbinder, Charge of the Ranger-General you can surmise that he has taken some liberty modifying these items after he took ownership of them.

Kommentar von 121242

how is it that this weapon gets a higher gearscore than shadowmourne for a ret pally? does not make sense. I mean it's still a great weapon, but I thought was shadowmourne was BiS, other than the fact that it's legendary

Kommentar von olle981

"Paragon of the Light, lead our armies against the coming darkness." This the mount and the staff was the items that dropped from Paragon when they had him down first time. "PARAGON of the Light, lead our armies against the coming darkness." Am glad that For The Horde did't get the boss down fist ''For the Horde of the Light, lead our armies against the coming darkness."

Kommentar von switch97

Obviously a reference to The Wallace Sword in "Braveheart", as this weapon is a sword, and William Wallace used a sword

This is quite possibly the best wowhead comment I have ever read.

Kommentar von lordhakera32

"Paragon of the Light, lead our armies against the coming darkness."

Strangely enough (for those who were living under a rock at the time), it was indeed the guild Paragon that got the World First LK 25 Hero kill and they did get this drop...Very fitting with the flavor text!

Kommentar von Kuja

too bad level 83 blues might look like this :P

Kommentar von fokis

Looks like citadel enforcer's claymore, just on another colour.

Kommentar von 60430

"Paragon of the Light, lead our armies against the coming darkness."

Fitting that on the world first kill of The Lich King in Heroic 25-man, the guild Paragon had this as their reward.

Kommentar von 611733

At least they changed the color from the normal version
Look like the one Darion Mograine is using

Kommentar von Grim32

The thought of dual-wielding two of these bad boys as a fury warrior makes me drool!

Kommentar von Laume

This sword reminds me of Apolyon, der Seelenspalter , the Glorenzelg its upgraded version of Apolyon, and they are like the same, endgame best sword :P

Kommentar von Vivii

You know what I find disturbing? ( Cata version )

This thing has 4101 Feral attack power.

So, can Druids finally use swords ?

Kommentar von 164363

Anyone notice that the skull hanging off of the end, just like names and the pics on portals, always has it's front facing toward you? I thought that was the weirdest thing.

Kommentar von agentex50

I'll probably get downranked for this, but it has to be said. for Human characters Glorenzelg is made slightly better than Shadowmourne due to the racial bonus. Shadowmourne having the proc only makes it even with this. Glorenzelg is also better for (DK) tanking due to the increased stamina. So yeah, if you can get your hands on Glorenzelg, you may find yourself not even replacing it with Shadowmourne. But, again, this is my opinion.

Kommentar von Rimlord

This weapon is not indeed unique confirming warriors could have 2 of these equipped at one time.

Kommentar von 617782

BiS for paladins? Definitely has better pally stats but with all the procs from shadowmourn which one is better?

Kommentar von 607391

Def a hunter weapon.

Edit: I mean what else? You think this would be good for ret pallies? Hahh.. this is hunter weapon. i mean honestly why else do you think its 3 socket slots? Its so huntards *cough* hunters can put gems in them! You think a ret pally would? Or a Dee Kay? Or A Fury warr? lol a Dee Kay, ret pally or fury warr doesnt even know what socket slots is! I say again this weapon, like all other weapons in world of warcraft, is a hunta.. hunter weapon!

Kommentar von 658053

When I clicked the 'find upgrades' button, this ranked a teensy bit higher than Shadowmourne on the Unholy DK DPS page, but only barely. Is it true that this is better than Shadowmourne, or is the axe better?

Kommentar von WingedReaver

What's duct tape doing on that sword I don't even...

Kommentar von sorsa

The blade looks as if it had once ended in a sharp tip like a normal two-handed sword, but after being corrupted the entire front of the sword was shattered by a mallet of some kind, and the shattered pieces are now orbiting around a sphere of some unholy fog left behind by whatever force shattered the blade.
