| − | '''Tirion Fordring''' was one of the first five [[Knights of the Silver Hand]] selected by Archbishop [[Alonsus Faol]], and was one of the heroes of the [[Second War]].<ref>''[[Tides of Darkness]]'', 83</ref> He later became Lord of [[Mardenholde Keep]] in [[Hearthglen]] before being stripped of his title and exiled for defending an orc, [[Eitrigg]]. Following the recent death of his son [[Taelan Fordring]], Tirion committed himself to refounding the order of the Silver Hand. He now leads the Argent Crusade, an organization consisting of the old Knights of the Silver Hand and the Argent Dawn, against the [[Lich King]] and the [[Scourge]]. To this day he remains good friends with the orc veteran Eitrigg. |

||
| − | [[File:TirionandEitrigg.JPG|thumb|left|Tirion Fordring helps Eitrigg.]] |
||
| − | {{seealso|Of Blood and Honor}} |
||
| − | As the governor of the Alliance principality of Hearthglen, Tirion lived a comfortable life, well-respected by his subjects and loved by his wife [[Karandra Fordring|Karanda]] and son Taelan. Both a great warrior and a just ruler, Tirion was renowned throughout the Kingdom of [[Lordaeron]]. In spite of his acclaimed military prowess, Tirion's experience as a [[paladin]] during the [[orc]]ish invasions had taught him to value peace. After the wars were over, Tirion prayed every night that no conflict would ever bring harm to his subjects again. |
||
| − | |||
| − | One day, he encountered an old orc hermit living in an abandoned tower. The two immediately battled and traded blows until a piece of the ruined tower collapsed on Tirion, knocking him senseless. He awoke in his bed days later and discovered that he had been found badly beaten, tied to his saddle, and had been healed by his ambitious second, [[Barthilas]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Realizing that the orc had saved him, Tirion set out and retraced his steps back to the tower. The orc [[Eitrigg]] told Tirion that, before the coming to [[Azeroth (world)|Azeroth]], the orcs had been a noble society rooted in [[shaman]]ism. After the war, he had left the corrupt [[History of the Horde|Horde]]. Tirion, seeing great honor in Eitrigg, promised to keep his existence a secret, returning to his people and informing them that the orc had been dealt with and was not a threat. |
||
| − | |||
| − | [[File:TirionEitrigg.JPG|thumb|Tirion Fordring and Eitrigg]] |
||
| − | |||
| − | Barthilas was not so confident, and called [[Saidan Dathrohan]] to come and settle the matter himself. Dathrohan picked up the trail and led a group of hunters into the woods, where they found Eitrigg. During the orc's capture, Tirion fought against Dathrohan's men, prompting Barthilas to gleefully note that his actions were treasonous. Tirion was brought to [[Stratholme]] to stand trial. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Despite Karandra's pleas to forget his honor and tell the jury what they wanted to hear, Tirion, hoping to be an example to his son, told the court exactly what had happened. Ultimately, the jury of Admiral [[Daelin Proudmoore]], Arch-Mage [[Antonidas]], Archbishop [[Alonsus Faol]], and Prince [[Arthas Menethil]] decided that since Tirion had assaulted [[Alliance of Lordaeron|Alliance]] soldiers, he could no longer be a member of the [[Knights of the Silver Hand]] and was doomed to exile. [[Uther Lightbringer|Uther the Lightbringer]] performed a ceremony to strip Tirion of his powers and sent him home to gather some supplies. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Desperate to prevent Eitrigg from being executed for war crimes, Tirion rode back to Stratholme, where he attacked Eitrigg's guards. Surprised, they still managed to subdue him, until a group of orcs stormed into the city. Tirion used the distraction to free Eitrigg and flee the city. |
||
| − | |||
| − | When they were in the wilds, Tirion saw that Eitrigg was near death, and did the only thing he could do; call upon the powers of the Light to heal the orc who had saved him. To his surprise, he still had the powers blessed by the [[Light]] and Eitrigg was saved. |
||
| − | |||
| − | They abruptly found themselves surrounded by orcs and a new [[Warchief]], [[Thrall]], who approached Eitrigg and invited him back into the [[Horde]] — which had since reverted back to its shamanistic roots once more. Eitrigg was thrilled to accept. Before he left with his people, Eitrigg proclaimed that Tirion and he were brothers, bound by blood and honor. Through his actions, Tirion also gain the undying respect of Thrall, one of the few humans he holds in such high regard, and which continues to this day. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Tirion remained in Lordaeron, to watch his son Taelan be inducted into the [[Knights of the Silver Hand|Silver Hand]]. His son later became the lord of Mardenholde. Tirion's wife told his son that Tirion had died, and even took him to a false grave at the [[Undercroft]], where Taelan buried the toy warhammer his father had given him in memory of his father. |
||
| − | |||
| − | === Exile and Return === |
||
| − | Tirion lived out his exile in a small farmstead, in the northwest of what became the [[Eastern Plaguelands]], on the shores of the [[Thondroril River]] with his trusty horse, [[Mirador]]. During the [[Third War]] he often fought off the undead Scourge. |
||
| − | |||
| − | He was dismayed to find later that his son, [[Taelan]], joined the [[Scarlet Crusade]], and even became the highlord of that order. Nonetheless, he kept watching his son from afar, and even enlisted some adventurers to help him as he and a few Crusaders became trapped in the small village of [[Cinderhome]], surrounded by Scourge forces who were interrupting the Crusade's attempt to re-settle the area.<ref>''[[Lands of Conflict]]'', 111</ref> Later, Tirion turned to adventurers yet again to have them collect mementos of his son's past which finally enabled him to convince his son to leave the Crusade, only to see him killed in the attempt. Spurred by his son's death, Tirion resolved to reform the original [[Knights of the Silver Hand|Silver Hand]] as a force of good in the world. |

||
| − | {{Bc-section}} |
||
| − | In ''[[World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade]]'', Tirion Fordring can be found in the [[Old Hillsbrad Foothills]] via the [[Caverns of Time]] as a level 55 NPC. Tirion can be seen in the [[Southshore]] inn wearing the same plate chest he wears nowadays and discussing [[Ashbringer]] with several of his fellow members of the [[Silver Hand]]. He was the first to refer to the future weapon by its legendary name. Sadly, most of the friends assembled here would later turn to bitter enemies, as they embraced the zeal of the Crusade they would later create. |

||
| − | {{Wotlk-section}} |
||
| − | ====The Scarlet Enclave==== |
||
| − | In {{questlong|Neutral|55|The Light of Dawn}}, the last quest of the [[Death knight]] starting area, the player joins [[Highlord Darion Mograine]] leading ten thousand Scourge against three hundred defenders of the Light at the [[Battle for Light's Hope Chapel]]. After a hundred or so defenders die, Tirion appears to confront Darion. [[Alexandros Mograine]], Darion's father, also makes an appearance. |
||
| − | |||
| − | After an interaction between Darion and Tirion, and then Darion and Alexandros, the Lich King will appear and cast a spell that incapacitates Tirion. Darion, wielding the [[Corrupted Ashbringer]] once held by his father, throws the sword to Tirion where it is purified. Tirion then charges towards Arthas who runs and eventually escapes. It is here that Tirion makes his vow to destroy Arthas, thus uniting the Argent Dawn and the Knights of the Silver Hand into the Argent Crusade. Darion also pledges his [[Knights of the Ebon Blade]] to the cause. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ====Northrend==== |
||
| − | Tirion also appears at the port of [[Valgarde]] in [[Northrend]]'s [[Howling Fjord]] as a level 73 quest giver titled Highlord Tirion Fordring. He is marked as "Supreme Commander of the [[Argent Crusade]]". The Argent Crusade (see involvement in the [[death knight]] quest chain above) is the merging of the [[Argent Dawn]] and the Silver Hand. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Tirion can also be found in [[Icecrown]] at the [[Argent Vanguard]], talking to [[the Ebon Watcher]]. Through their dialogue with each other, you learn the Ebon Watcher is actually Darion Mograine. Darion Mograine talks pessimistically, saying they cannot win when the Lich King is not shackled to any virtues of the Light. Tirion states he will not lower himself to the Scourge's level; they will do this with honor or else become the monster they are trying to kill. |

Tirion will be removed from his river-side hovel in the Eastern Plaguelands and will be located in [[Mardenholde Keep]] in Cataclysm.<ref name=WoR>[http://www.worldofraids.com/topic/17178-cataclysm-lore-details/ Cataclysm Lore Details - World of Raids Forums]</ref> |

| − | ==Personality== |
||
| − | [[File:Tirionfordring.JPG|thumb|Tirion slays undead in the Plaguelands.]] |
||
| − | [[File:TirionAshbringerComic.jpg|thumb|Tirion rescues Highlord Mograine during the Second War.]] |
||
| − | Rising from the ranks of a knight and later a paladin, Tirion Fordring was a man of honor — and his commitment to upholding his honor no matter the cost often brought him into conflict with his family and friends. His wife [[Karandra Fordring]] often lamented the sacrifices she had to make in order to adapt to her husband's tendency to place his personal honor above everything else - his family included. So, for instance, when Fordring attempted to explain to his wife and to his long-time friend [[Arden]] that his commitment to saving the life of Eitrigg was a matter of honor, he encountered, for the most part, a total lack of understanding, with both Arden and Karandra arguing that he also has a responsibility to his family and his subjects — a responsibility he should not neglect in the name of honor. Tirion's honor, therefore, was the ultimate cause of his downfall — during his trial, he was offered an opportunity to be restored to good standing within the Alliance if only he would renounce the vow he gave to Eitrigg. Tirion refused, saying that his honor precluded him from doing so. |
||
| − | |||
| − | In the end, Tirion Fordring paid heavily for the honor he held in such high esteem. Not only was he stripped of his office and estates, but his family — Karandra Fordring and [[Taelan]] — refused to accompany him into exile, his wife stating that she would not let him ruin their lives as he had ruined his own. Thus, after his rescue of Eitrigg from the gallows in [[Stratholme]], honor was very much the only thing Tirion still had. |
||
| − | |||
| − | After his exile and the fall of Lordaeron to the Scourge, Tirion fell into inactivity, feeling there was no reason for him to fight. That all changed, however, with the {{quest|In Dreams|death of Taelan}}. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Filled with righteous anger at the loss of his beloved son, Tirion vowed to reestablish the [[Knights of the Silver Hand]], to oppose the spread of evil in the world. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Locations== |
||
| − | Tirion has been seen in many places across both the Eastern Kingdoms and Northrend, spanning the original WoW and all three expansions. These are all of the places where he will appear: |

| − | ===Tirion's Story in his own words=== |
||
| − | After completing his first three quests, this conversation opens with Tirion, as part of the next quest in his chain: |
||
| − | |||
| − | :I must apologize for not being entirely truthful with you in regards to my identity. I had to be certain you could be trusted — few people would have selflessly lent assistance to an old and forgotten hermit. |
||
| − | |||
| − | :You have proven yourself as one of those people: A person of integrity and honor. |
||
| − | |||
| − | [[File:GossipGossipIcon.png]] ''Thank you, Tirion. What of your identity?'' |
||
| − | |||
| − | :My son, Taelan, was only a child when I was found guilty of treason and banished by the Alliance to live a life in exile. I chose to remain here so that I could watch over him; to somehow insure that he would grow up an honorable man. |
||
| − | |||
| − | :As I had hoped, he took my place as lord of [[Mardenholde Keep|Mardenholde]]; but in a cruel twist of fate, joined the ranks of the [[Scarlet Crusade]]. He is now their Highlord, <race>. |
||
| − | |||
| − | [[File:GossipGossipIcon.png]] ''That is terrible.'' |
||
| − | |||
| − | :Indeed. The Scarlet Crusade are an aberration of the [[Order of the Silver Hand]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | :You must believe me, <race>; Taelan is a good man. He needs to remember...remember what it is to be noble and honorable. I know that in his heart, he knows what he does is wrong. Will you help him? Will you help him remember? |
||
| − | |||
| − | [[File:GossipGossipIcon.png]] ''I will, Tirion.'' |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==={{quest|In Dreams|In Dreams}}=== |

An evil that cannot hide behind politics and pleasantries. This I promise...This I vow...}} |
||

||
| − | :"''Rise, [[Darion Mograine|Darion]]...and listen. We have all been witness to a [[Battle for Light's Hope Chapel|terrible tragedy; the blood of good men has been shed upon this soil.]] Honorable [[knights]], slain defending their lives...our lives. And while such things can never be forgotten, we must remain vigilant in our cause. The [[Lich King]] must answer for what he has done and must not be allowed to cause further destruction in our world! I make a promise to you now brothers and sisters: The Lich King will be defeated! On this day, I call for a union! The [[Argent Dawn]] and the Order of the Silver Hand will come together as one! We will succeed where so many before us have failed! We will take the fight to Arthas, and we will tear down the walls of [[Icecrown]]! The [[Argent Crusade]] comes for YOU, [[Arthas]]!''" |

| − | ==Notes== |
||
| − | Strangely enough in the novel ''"Of Blood and Honor"'', Tirion's mount is described as a grey horse, yet in-game it is a chestnut horse. An explanation might be that he just gained another horse after his exile and named it after the previous one. |
