The skeletal Scourge Converters actively stalk and attack the distracted Spirits one at a time. The Spirit under attack seems immobilized by the Scourge Converter's frost spells and does not take defensive action. The Fallen Hero's Spirit is transformed into Scourge and is renamed a
Converted Hero Newly Converted From Doloria |
The transformation is immediate. The Converted Hero is mind controlled and reprogrammed and immediately runs south to join one of the fighting units controlled by a Scourge Banner-Bearer. Converted to Scourge, the Converted Heroes have enhanced individual fighting abilities and group buffs. They fight as a unit, swarming any attacker.

From Doloria: Newly Converted Heroes Run South to Join the Scourge Fighting Units |
The Converted Heroes that run South actually despawn at (46,49) Icecrown which is very close to the nearest fighting units led by Scourge Banner-Bearers (47:48). It's strange that they shed their chains before disappearing, but this programming glitch shouldn't break the illusion.Sometimes the spawning of a Fallen Hero's Spirit or Converted Hero is marked by yellow electrical charges. | From Doloria: Spirit of Fallen Hero Spawns |
Mercy: The Fate Of The Fallen
Crusader SilverdawnArgent CrusadeFrom Doloria |
Crusader Silverdawn at the Argent Tournament gives Crusaders the quest The Fate Of The Fallen.
The Argent Crusade is hardly the first force to challenge the Lich King. Our enemy turns spirits of the fallen against us.
Their spirits wander the Valley of Fallen Heroes, southwest of the grounds and between Aldur'thar and the Ironwall Rampart. The area is littered with discarded soul crystals, used by the Scourge to control the spirits. Gather those soul crystals and use them with this Light-blessed relic to bestow the blessing of peace upon the spirits. They have more than earned their rest.

Based on what you're telling me, it sounds like there aren't many survivors... just restless spirits. The least we can do is give them their rest.
Head back to the Shattershore and vanquish the worgen ghosts that still remain. Doing so should release their spirit from this world and allow them to pass into the next.
The Relic & Discarded Soul Crystals

Tactics
praeditus said: Once you have collected a crystal left click on a fallen hero (so you don't initiate an attack) and when you are in range, click on the Light-Blessed Relic. ashadiel said: If a Fallen Hero's Spirit has already been converted by a Scourge Converter, you will not be able to free it. However, if you can stop a converter from finishing its cast of Grip of the Scourge or use your Light-Blessed Relic before the cast completes, you'll be successful. conformity said: I can't be the only one who rushes to kill the converters when I see them running towards a spirit right? |

As each Fallen Hero's Spirit receives the Blessing of Peace, bright wings like those of an angel appear. The Spirit speaks of exhaustion, nightmares or combatting friends, often grimacing in the telling. (There are five randomized statements.) The bright wings fade leaving the blue aura, but the Spririt is no longer agitated. Each Spirit bows to an unseen presence and then vanishes. |

As an Undead, I loved this quest because it fit my character's personality / story perfectly. My character is a kind and compassionate soul, and he wants to either cure undeath or release those afflicted (Forsaken excluded, he wants to cure them). Finally, a quest where my character is doing something that isn't against his code.
Can I get the armor? | Go to Top |
There is a good equivalent for the female Dark Ranger's armor available from Vanilla leatherworkers, although the background color is navy instead of black. However, the armor of the male ranger and druid is NPC only. The plate armor of the Valiance Expedition is still sold as level 60 PVP gear to Alliance Warriors and Paladins in Champion's Hall, Stormwind. The Horde equivalent is very different. The catch is that this armor is not transmogrifiable and replicas are available only to Vanilla PVP players who earned the achievement Knight-Captain / Legionnaire or higher. |

Understated and elegant NPC only armor. Compare the armor of High Elf Archmage Maenius in Winterspring (54,58). The difference suggests the Ranger is not a mage. |

On buying replicas Wigglemonster said: You need Knight-Captain / Legionnaire or higher under the old PvP system....This limitation was created so only characters with the feat of strength could wear this gear in transmog form because the actual gear is available for purchase with honor points to everyone. The transmog-able gear can be bought in Area 52. Blue post on blizzard’s forum: Rationale |

Nearby Scourge Soulbinders Raise Corpses | Go to Top |
From Doloria: Scourge Soulbinder before Corp'rethar, the Horror Gate | Just South of the Converted Heroes, between the Conflagration and Corp'rethar (Horror Gate) Scourge Soulbinders raise Vargul Wanderers and Ravaged Ghouls. These beings have a very short existence above ground, often only two minutes. The Ravaged Ghoul looks and sounds like the ghoul of a Death Knight. The Vargul Wanderer speaks in an English accent and has delicious things to say such as: "I will feed you to the dogs" and "Your entrails will make a fine necklace". All three humanoids count as Scourge for the quest: Training In The Field / Training In The Field. The Wanderer is a Vrykul who was defeated in a combat challenge at Jotunheim in Northwest Icecrown (44,25) and reduced to the status of a Vargul Scourge. The winners go to Ymirheim to serve as the Lich King's elite warrior caste, the Ymirjar. Players can visit Jotunheim in the quest Eliminate the Competition. The quest requires defeating four champions. It's part of a chain that starts with It's All Fun and Games / It's All Fun and Games and ends with a Ring of Blood style series of challenges in the battle pit of Valhalas (31,29) in northern Jotunheim — without the goblin fight promoter, high traffic and casual pick-up groups that made See Gurgthock forRing of Blood:BrokentoeFrom zenvirus 58275 |

Conclusion | Go to Top |
The Vargul Wanderer has other choice greetings such as "Die maggot", but "I'll eat your heart" is a good place to end this Guide. Back to the Tournament to hand in A Valiant's Field Training / A Valiant's Field Training or The Fate Of The Fallen and the many dailies. Time to feast, joust and listen to the conjured strains of the "Slaughtered Lamb".

Arthas and Elric
- Arthas: Rise of the Lich King by Christie Golden (World of Warcraft)
- Elric, The Stealer of Souls: Chronicles of the Last Emperor of Meliborné, Volume I, by Michael Moorcock, illustrated by John Picacio. This edition is published by Ballantine Books (Del Ray) and includes a foreword by the author. It contains the first Elric fantasy series, The Stealer of Souls and Stormbringer, published in the 1960s. Some concepts are used in the Arthas chronicle: a ruler without a realm, a runed blade that derives it powers from the souls of its victims. There are warriors, sorcerers and priests that invoke the assistance of a deity (old gods/Light) and fate and powerful externalities shape events. Did I mention the winged dragons, elementals, and steeds that gallop over/through water and air?

THOUGHTS ON CODING |
I, Doloria, am not a programmer, and learned how to write BBCode for this Guide from these Wowhead Guides with detailed threads:

Troubleshooting was slow. What to do when all of the text turned bold, or my Guide completely disappeared below the point I was coding, or the text below a table merged into it. Ugh. The answers were usually the same: I was missing an opening tag or a closing tag or the closing tags weren't in the opposite order of the opening tags. Along the way I starting creating Tooltips using icons and screenshots (based on wolfr's idea above). I figured out a quick way to resize screenshots and a method for stabilizing text in tables without setting the table width to 100%. The code used for gold was: \text\ as in Vargul Wanderers. |
