Welcome back to Know Your Lore, WoW.com’s column about the story behind the game we all play. A featured questline in Patch 3.3 , the story of Quel’delar is available to any player who attains the Battered Hilt , which can drop from any mob in the Icecrown Citadel 5-man dungeons. But what’s the story behind this ancient and powerful weapon? Long ago, the night elves and the five Dragonflights worked together with great ceremony to forge a set of incredibly powerful prismatic swords, intended to be the first line of defense against any evil that would challenge the races of Azeroth: Quel’serrar , the High Blade, and Quel’delar , the Sister Blade. Quel’serrar was gifted to the night elves, but ultimately nearly destroyed. For thousands of years it remained partially intact with the Shen’dralar of Eldre’thalas, who anticipated that one day it’d be possible to reforge the blade. Only recently did this occur, with heroes reforging the blade in the flames and black heart of Onyxia, broodmother of the Black Dragonflight. The blade’s triumphant return to its full glory brought great joy to the night elves, who thought the blade lost forever. Its sister blade, however, followed a different path. This writeup contains spoilers from the Quel’delar questline and should be avoided if you want to be surprised when Patch 3.3 launches.

Today, All the World’s a Stage continues with steps 7 and 8 of a series on ” how to be evil : bringing the bad guy back into your fantasy roleplaying,” complete with ideas, methods, warnings, and practical examples. Be sure not to miss steps 1-3 and steps 4-6 on the path to evil! So, you want to be evil? It’s not as easy as it seems. Perhaps you’ve watched a lot of movies or TV shows in which the bad guy has amazing powers, threatens human civilization, and nearly destroys the universe in his quest for domination. Perhaps you were playing Warcraft and saw characters like Arthas and Archimonde wrecking things up pretty bad and said to yourself, “I wanna be just like them when I grow up!” You open up your copy of World of Warcraft and find that you can’t play a Lich King or Eredar Overlord, so you just click on the “forsaken” or “draenei” options as the next best things available. “Yup! I’m all ready to go!” you say to yourself. Everyone is just gonna love my idea about being an immortal demigod out to destroy the universe! But it turns out no one believes you’re actually the Lich Prince instead of just another forsaken dude. And people just roll their eyes whenever you reveal your draenei’s secret eredar affiliation. A lot of people want to play a raid boss, but the fact remains, you’re just not. You’re a generic adventurer like everyone else. That doesn’t mean you can’t be bad… it just means can’t be 20 feet tall and out whole cities with a flick of your hand. Once you start thinking practically, about doing something with what you’ve actually got, then you can start getting somewhere. One of the most practical tools you can have for playing a bad guy is the disposable low-level character. Keeping your villain at a low level means you don’t need to hesitate when he’s been defeated, you can roleplay his glorious death and delete him. Your friends save the day — you save a lot of leveling time. How is it done? Read on.
