| − | '''Uther's Tomb''' {{coords|52|83|Western Plaguelands}} is a monument dedicated to [[Uther the Lightbringer]], at [[Sorrow Hill]] in what is now [[Western Plaguelands]] - the only bastion of Light in a dying land. |

| − | ==History== |
||
| − | Uther confronted his former student, [[Arthas Menethil|Prince Arthas]], who had become the greatest of the [[Lich King]]'s death knights. Arthas had already destroyed [[Ruins of Lordaeron|the city of Lordaeron]], and continued to spread the [[Scourge]] across the [[Lordaeron|kingdom]]. Tasked by [[Tichondrius]] to find a magical vessel to carry the remains of [[Kel'Thuzad]] to the [[Sunwell]] in [[Quel'Thalas]], Arthas confronted Uther - who was holding the urn of [[King Terenas]] just outside of [[Andorhal]]. Meeting in combat, holy warhammer against evil runeblade [[Frostmourne]], Arthas killed Uther and took possession of the urn for himself. |

||
| − | Uther's body was retrieved by his remaining soldiers, and buried in a great tomb built for him to the south of the ruins of [[Andorhal]], vigilantly guarded by defenders of the [[Alliance]]. The headstone shows him in a heroic pose, a tome of Light in one hand, his warhammer in the other. The marker stone before it, written in the Common tongue, reads: |

| − | First Paladin - Founder of the [[Order of the Silver Hand]]. |

| − | Uther lived and died to defend the [[Kingdom of Lordaeron]]. Though he was betrayed by his most beloved student, we believe that his spirit lives on. He continues to watch over us, even as the shadows close in around our ruined land. His light is the light of all humanity - and so long as we honor his example, it shall never fade.<br> |
