Shadowfang Tower, The Return of Archmage Arugal

admin July 2 2008 8:48 pm 12 Comments

I don’t know all of the specifics of the tower, but it looks like Archmage Arugal is returning from the dead to assist the Lich King. It is located on a smal island off the coast of Grizzly Hills. Direct all question to this forum thread. The first three images are from a sandbox server, the last three are from alpha.

funny, it says “shade of arugal” in the screenshot, implying that he’s still dead and that’s just his spirit. if you’re gonna accuse blizz of screwing up their own lore, at least pay attention first lol

No, they completely fucked their lore in that Arugal summoned the worgen to battle the scourge, and is now joining the scourge and employing his worgen as well. Retarded.

They can’t fuck up their own lore. It’s their lore. They can do with it as they please.

Besides, at least find out the story of why Arugal is there before proclaiming that everything is all fucked up.

Fuckin’ some people just can’t handle change of any kind.

Remember… Arthas sought Frostmourne to fight the scourge, and look what happened to him.

Just because that’s what Arugal started out intending doesn’t mean that, along the way, he couldn’t be corrupted.

Think about it, the Lich King can raises the dead, seeing Arugals potential he ressurected him as scourge heance “shade of arugal” and due to that possibility he would be under the control of the Lich King, working for the scourge anyway so weather he choose to fight against and was corrupted or was brought back as a slave to the Lich King they both explain a reason for his transfer onto the scourge’s side

I sincerely hope that the “Shade of Arugal” isn’t the only Arugal encounter. I hope that there’s a questline that will take us to the front door of some epic Shadowfang Keep v2.0 instance.

I’d be a tad disappointed to see one of my favorite villians resurrected just to be on some crappy little uninstanced tower off of the coast.

Is it an instance like SFK or a Micro dungeon like Alcaz Island. I really hope it’s an instance it would be really cool if they made the whole island an instance and not just the Tower.
