The Argent Tournament is a world event that was introduced in patch 3.1 and is found northeast of Sindragosa's Fall in Icecrown at an area called the Argent Tournament Grounds.

On the purpose of the Argent Tournament itself, Highlord Tirion Fordring makes the following announcement from the stage to the east of the Ring of Champions at the top of every hour:

Five minutes before Tirion speaks:

Herald Beluus yells: Highlord Tirion Fordring approaches the stage to address those gathered upon the tournament grounds! Make way to the stage area to attend him!

Combatants of the Alliance and Horde! You are welcome under the banner of the Argent Crusade.

To the south lies our goal. We will march to the Citadel and cut out the heart of the Scourge where it dwells.

But this is no task to be taken lightly.

A massive attack with every able-bodied man would end in needless slaughter. Every soldier lost would rise as the enemy. Azeroth would be left defenseless against the undead threat.

Instead, we require a small, concentrated strike force for the attack to succeed. For that reason, we have created the Argent Tournament.

Within these walls, you will be tested. Your skill in combat will be matched against the fiercest dangers Northrend has to offer under the watchful eyes of your leaders.

Your prowess, your might, and your cunning will be under close watch. These games will determine the best Azeroth has to offer.

The victors will take their rightful place in the assault upon the Citadel. We will stand together in the face of evil, and Arthas WILL fall!

Quests

Starting the Argent Tournament: Aspirant & Valiant

The quest chain starts in the building to the west of the Crusaders' Coliseum. Justicar Mariel Trueheart directs questers to their faction's respective tents on the east side of the keep, where they must undertake a series of tests to join the tournament proper.

(25 seals at 5 per day)  [80 Daily] A Blade Fit For A Champion -or- The Edge Of Winter -or- A Worthy Weapon  [80 Daily] A Valiant's Field Training  [80 Daily] The Grand Melee  [80 Daily] At The Enemy's Gates  [80] The Valiant's Challenge  [80] A Champion Rises After completing "The Valiant's Challenge", the following quests open up allowing players to repeat the valiant stage of daily quests (steps six and seven) for the other factions with which they have not yet earned the right to champion:  [80] Valiant Of The Exodar  [80] Valiant Of Ironforge  [80] Valiant Of Gnomeregan  [80] Valiant Of Stormwind  [80] Valiant Of Darnassus

Horde  [80] The Argent Tournament  [80] Mastery Of Melee  [80] Mastery Of The Charge  [80] Mastery Of The Shield-Breaker  [80] Up To The Challenge and complete the daily quests listed below to earn enough [Aspirant's Seals] to continue. (15 seals at 5 per day)  [80 Daily] A Blade Fit For A Champion -or- The Edge Of Winter -or- A Worthy Weapon  [80 Daily] Training In The Field  [80 Daily] Learning The Reins  [80] The Aspirant's Challenge Players will be offered one of these quests based on their race:  [80] A Valiant Of Silvermoon  [80] A Valiant Of Undercity  [80] A Valiant Of Orgrimmar  [80] A Valiant Of Thunder Bluff  [80] A Valiant Of Sen'jin  [80] The Valiant's Charge and complete the daily quests listed below to earn enough [Valiant's Seals] to continue. (25 seals at 5 per day)  [80 Daily] A Blade Fit For A Champion -or- The Edge Of Winter -or- A Worthy Weapon  [80 Daily] A Valiant's Field Training  [80 Daily] The Grand Melee  [80 Daily] At The Enemy's Gates  [80] The Valiant's Challenge  [80] A Champion Rises After completing "The Valiant's Challenge", the following quests open up allowing players to repeat the valiant stage of daily quests (steps six and seven) for the other factions with which they have not yet earned the right to champion:  [80] Valiant Of Silvermoon  [80] Valiant Of Undercity  [80] Valiant Of Orgrimmar  [80] Valiant Of Thunder Bluff  [80] Valiant Of Sen'jin

Also note that like the fishing and cooking daily quests, the 3 blade quests (A Blade Fit of a Champion, The Edge of Winter, A Worthy Weapon) are not independent daily quests. Having one of them in your log prevents you from accepting the other two, should it be offered that day. In other words, should you not complete one of them on the day you accept it, you will not be able to do either of the other two quests the following day. This means that you should do all three daily quests on the day you accept them if you want to complete "Up To The Challenge" in three days.

Completing the four available valiant dailies will reward 52 92 and 5x[Valiant's Seal] each day.

Over the course of championing all five faction's cities you can expect to gain 11,250 reputation with each capital city. Keep this in mind when considering champion-level quest rewards. The [Champion's Writ] can only be used to buy reputation tokens worth 250 reputation with one city at a time. Do not purchase reputation with a faction when you can reasonably expect to reach exalted status while doing the valiant chain for the rest of the cities. The [Champion's Purse] is a better alternative for players who already have high reputation with their faction's cities. It is also possible to continue doing a faction's valiant-level quests, earning reputation with that faction, if one does not turn in the "The Valiant's Charge" quest with that faction.

Alliance and Horde leadership

At roughly 10-past, Thrall, Garrosh Hellscream, and a few Kor'kron Elites arrive:

Herald Beluus yells: The Warchief of the Horde, Thrall, and Overlord Garrosh Hellscream have arrived upon the tournament grounds! Clear the way to the entrance!

Thrall, Garrosh and their escort appear from inside the Sunreaver Pavilion and walk along the path following the Ring of Champions. Here, they stop between the Ironforge and Gnomeregan banners and observe.

Thrall says: Garrosh, I expect you to control yourself here. I do not want a repeat of the Violet Citadel.

Garrosh Hellscream says: Pah! That was a show of strength, worthy of a leader. I only regret I did not kill that human before the mage interfered.

Thrall says: We are guests here, Garrosh, and you will conduct yourself honorably.

Garrosh Hellscream says: What honor is there in thrashing about with blunted sticks? This is a waste of time.

The group proceeds to the western entrance of the Crusaders' Coliseum, where Highlord Tirion Fordring awaits.

Highlord Tirion Fordring says: Welcome, Warchief Thrall. Overlord Hellscream.

Thrall says: Thank you for the invitation, Lord Fordring. We look forward to observing these games.

Garrosh Hellscream says: Speak for yourself, Thrall.

Highlord Tirion Fordring says: I hope you'll see the merit of these events in time, Garrosh. We cannot win against the Scourge if we continue to war against one another.

Thrall says: Wise words.

Garrosh Hellscream says: Words of a fool, you mean. The Horde will destroy the undead without your aid, human, or that of the pompous king.

Thrall immediately turns to face Garrosh and rebukes him directly.

Thrall says: Garrosh, enough!

Highlord Tirion Fordring says: Under my roof, gentlemen, I trust you will behave.

Thrall turns back to Tirion.

Thrall says: Of course, Tirion. I apologize for his outburst. It will not be repeated.

Garrosh Hellscream says: Bah.

Highlord Tirion Fordring says: If you will follow me, then.

The group then walks in to the coliseum proper and disappears inside.

At roughly 25-past, Varian Wrynn, Jaina Proudmoore, and a few Stormwind Royal Guards arrive.

Herald Beluus yells: His Majesty, King Varian Wrynn, and Lady Jaina Proudmoore have touched down upon the tournament grounds! Make way!

Varian, Jaina and their escort appear from inside the Silver Covenant Pavilion and walk west towards the Argent Pavilion. Fordring greets them at the entrance to the Coliseum.

King Varian Wrynn says: Tirion.

Highlord Tirion Fordring says: King Varian, Lady Jaina. Welcome to the tournament. Your place in the coliseum is waiting.

Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: Thank you. It's the least I can do to support this; we need to stand together.

King Varian Wrynn says: You ask much of me, Tirion, to sit and watch, trusting the savages to keep themselves in check.

Highlord Tirion Fordring says: My people are here to ensure they honor the rules of engagement. It will do your subjects well to see you in the stands.

Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: I'm sure Thrall will have his people under control...

King Varian Wrynn says: Perhaps. I doubt the effectiveness of this gambit. We would be better served preparing our armies for the final assault.

King Varian Wrynn says: But if my presence is required in these games to gain your support in the battle, then I will remain. For now.

Highlord Tirion Fordring nods and gestures for his guests to follow.

The group then walks in to the coliseum proper and disappears inside.
