Corrupted Ashbringer is an epic two-handed sword that could be looted in Naxxramas prior to patch 3.0.2.

Death knight and former Scarlet Highlord Alexandros Mograine could be seen wielding Corrupted Ashbringer in Naxxramas, and it could be looted from the Horsemen's cache. It was once [Ashbringer], but became corrupted by Mograine's assassination. It is unique in that it triggers a scripted event within the Scarlet Monastery, and the whispers of Alexandros can be heard by the wielder.

In Wrath of the Lich King, Corrupted Ashbringer is wielded by Alexandros' son, Highlord Darion Mograine.

This item drops from the cache of the Four Horsemen in the Deathknight Wing of Naxxramas. Its drop rate is independent of kill order.

Equipping Corrupted Ashbringer will buff the player with Will of the Ashbringer, which makes Argent Dawn NPCs hostile, Scarlet Crusade NPCs friendly, and makes the player appear slightly darker. Furthermore, it enables a proc for the deceased Highlord Mograine to whisper one of twelve sayings to the wielder:

  • "I... was... pure... once."
  • "Fought... for... righteousness."
  • "I... was... once... called... Ashbringer."
  • "Betrayed... by... my... order."
  • "Destroyed... by... Kel'Thuzad."
  • "Made... to serve."
  • "My... son... watched... me... die."
  • "Crusades... fed his rage."
  • "Truth... is... unknown... to him."
  • "Scarlet... Crusade ... is pure... no longer."
  • "Balnazzar's... crusade... corrupted... my son."
  • "Kill... them... all!"

Mograine's whispers may also be heard by directly entering the following code:

  • /script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Creature\\Ashbringer\\ASH_SPEAK_01.wav")
  • /script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Creature\\Ashbringer\\ASH_SPEAK_02.wav")
  • /script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Creature\\Ashbringer\\ASH_SPEAK_03.wav")
  • /script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Creature\\Ashbringer\\ASH_SPEAK_04.wav")
  • /script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Creature\\Ashbringer\\ASH_SPEAK_05.wav")
  • /script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Creature\\Ashbringer\\ASH_SPEAK_06.wav")
  • /script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Creature\\Ashbringer\\ASH_SPEAK_07.wav")
  • /script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Creature\\Ashbringer\\ASH_SPEAK_08.wav")
  • /script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Creature\\Ashbringer\\ASH_SPEAK_09.wav")
  • /script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Creature\\Ashbringer\\ASH_SPEAK_10.wav")
  • /script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Creature\\Ashbringer\\ASH_SPEAK_11.wav")
  • /script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Creature\\Ashbringer\\ASH_SPEAK_12.wav")

His whispers recount the tale of his war against the Scourge, his betrayal by his son and the Crusade, and his resurrection as a death knight by Kel'Thuzad. He describes how his son, Renault, is blind to the truth that the Scarlet Crusade has become a vehicle for the Burning Legion's vengeance against the Scourge through Saidan Dathrohan. In the end, he asks you to kill them all, but it's unknown whether he means the Scarlet Crusade, the Scourge, or both.

There is also a second voice in the background, possibly that of the Lich King, Kel'Thuzad, or even Renault, but it is more difficult to discern what is being said. However, in the final clip both voices are united in saying "Kill... them... all!"

Scarlet Monastery event

See also: Corrupted Ashbringer/Scarlet Monastery Event.

A scripted event can be triggered upon entering the Cathedral wing of the Scarlet Monastery with Corrupted Ashbringer equipped.

Scarlet Commander Renault Mograine welcomes the player as the crusaders bow before him or her. Unexpectedly, his father Highlord Mograine's spirit appears in full Dreadnaught armor, revives High Inquisitor Fairbanks, and smites and kills his son (Renault, the Scarlet Commander) for murdering him. Fairbanks proceeds to tell the story of Renault's betrayal and that the Corrupted Ashbringer is beyond redeeming. Luckily, Mograine has another son who resides in Outland and has the ability to forge a new Ashbringer. Fairbanks does not give any quests.

In Wrath of the Lich King

Wrath-Logo-Small This section concerns content related to Wrath of the Lich King.

In contrast to Fairbanks' words, it is revealed in Wrath of the Lich King that Alexandros' second son is Darion Mograine, death knight and Highlord of the Knights of the Ebon Blade. He wields Corrupted Ashbringer.

Darion somehow came into possession of Corrupted Ashbringer and used it to kill himself in order to free his father's spirit. Darion was resurrected as a death knight of the Scourge.

At the Lich King's command, Darion launched an attack on the Argent Dawn at Light's Hope Chapel. In the battle that ensued, Corrupted Ashbringer began to turn on Darion. When the death knights were forced to surrender, Tirion Fordring revealed that the Lich King knowingly sent Darion and his knights into a trap. Shortly thereafter, the Lich King himself appeared. Darion throws Ashbringer to Tirion, which becomes purified in his grasp, forcing the Lich King to retreat.
