* The sword crafted by Timolain took on the name of its wielder, Scarlet Highlord Mograine, The Ashbringer.


It may have originally been planned to be used in the Ashbringer questline, but when Naxxramus was in its inital planning stages Ashbringer may have been delayed as it would better coincide with Naxxramas content. * Side Note: Timolain's Phylactery no longer drops from Large Vile Slimes as of patch 1.6. A large vile slime consumed the phylactery and took on some of Timolain's powers. However, he was again killed at the hands of the Crusade, leaving only his phylactery behind (a phylactery allows a lich to regenerate himself over time if it is not destroyed). Kel'Thuzad then resurrected him as a Lich like himself. However, Timolain was secretely a member of the Cult of Damned, and this eventually became known to the Crusade, and hence, Timolain was executed (this is somewhat speculative). * Ashbringer was crafted by Timolain, an Archmage of the Scarlet Crusade. (This can be seen in the Burning Crusade in the Southshore inn in the Caverns of Time: "Thrall's Escape"). The Order of the Silver Hand agreed to use the crystal to craft a weapon to be the bane of the Scourge: The Ashbringer. The crystal was originally from Draenor and was a "living embodiment of darkness." However, upon placing a spell upon it, it became its polar opposite- a manifestation of pure light. * During an expedition in Blackrock Spire, Commander Mograine (later Highlord Mograine, not the one in SM) took a unique crystal from a dead orc lieutenant.
