So this is more lore stuff but it’s been a while, and since this morning I’ve been getting all juked out over the arena and Wrath of the Lich King PVP stuff I figured it’s a good time for lore now.
The faceless ones are these guys. You can check out the full info in the Wiki but essentially, they’re Old God affiliates and Arthas (with Anub’arak) fought them in a very nasty way during his trek through the underground Nerubian realm trying to reach Icecrown to become the Lich King.There’s only one right now in Northrend we know about and he’s a boss in the larger and scarier underground Ahn’Kahet instance.
Frankly, if the Lich King fears one thing, it’s going to be an Old God. That we’re going to fight these bad boys means a future patch in Wrath of the Lich King similar to the AQ Gates event that happened pre-BC.
I’m psyched, only good and cool things can come of this. Image from WotLKWiki.
The Lich king will kill every faceless ones and old gods are there then he’ll make them all undead fool!
