What, pray tell, is Quel’Delar? That’s a good question, and as of Patch 3.3, we’re about to become far more intimate with it. At present all we know about Quel’Delar is the area near the Argent Tournament called Quel’Delar’s Rest (as seen above), where a massive dragon skull seems impaled on a sword half buried in the ice. Speculation on the sword, the thing it is impaling, and whether or not we’d get to pull it out of the ice (as well as to links to Quel’Serrar/Quel’Zaram, famous swords with the Quel prefix meaning High in Thalassian/Darnassian) look to be on the verge of being solved. It seems that MMO-Champion has found a whole series of spells related to Quel’Delar and the new Icecrown instances in the latest PTR build. You apparently need to bring the blade into the Forge of Souls and temper it, then bring the tempered blade to someone , possibly Krasus , which then possibly phases you into a battle to cleanse an evil form of the sword . Please keep in mind this is all speculation based on spell descriptions, but at the very least we know that there’s more to that patch of barren ice near the Tournament than we’d been led to believe. It’s apparent from the descriptive text on this spell that Quel’Delar is deeply connected to Icecrown Citadel. Is Quel’Delar eventually going to be a player item? Is it connected to Quel’Serrar, as was speculated? Does it want to help or hinder the Lich King, or is it connected to some other denizen of Icecrown? We don’t know yet, but the time till we find out seems fast approaching.

The patch 3.3 PTR is up (as you must have noticed if you’re reading the same site I’m writing on), and among other things, it contains a battery of crafted gear that confers nature resistance for users of the various armor classes. There’s leg and foot wear for all armor types, in various versions where appropriate (like DPS/tanking/spell for plate). This is a pretty good sign that we’re going to want/need nature resist somewhere in Icecrown Citadel. The mats list is another hint in that direction, calling as it does for Icecrown Thing of Crafting Things [PH] . It’s a good thing they put “PH” there, or I might not have known the name was a placeholder. But seriously folks, get ready to craft another set of resistance gear. I’m not particularly jazzed about this myself – I mostly raid as a druid these days, and we have little enough bag space as it is – but I guess it’s one way to make sure players don’t consume the content too quickly (if they have to stock up on Things of Crafting Things from earlier bosses first). Still seems like a silly hoop to make us jump through.
