Questing in WOTLK has been quite a different experience from that of vanilla WoW, or even The Burning Crusade. In the past, it was an arduous process of reading, killing…. reading, killing… etc. This time around however, the quests have amazing stories coinciding with pinnacle completions and exciting tie-ins with instances and various zones and factions.

I have yet to finish question in each of the Northrend zones, but here is a quick list of the amazing quests that have captured my attention thus far:

Aladin Ain’t Got Nuttin’ on these Digs
One of the very first quest chains that sent me outside of the confines of Warsong Hold didn’t just send me trucking along via land mount. The NPC cast me upon a magical magic carpet that glided through the air, over the invading scourage, viewing the amazing landscapes and landed smack dab in the middle of a mini-questing area. Right then and there I knew that Wrath had some exciting rides in store if the carpet was so far at the beginning of my journey. And thus far I was right.

Arthas’ Frozen Heart
While questing in Icecrown I was directed to blow-up the Citadal. Though the effort was failed, the blast sent me barreling down under the Citadal into a forgotten wasteland filled with faceless nightmarish creatures and loads of Saronite *wink*. Upon gainig my barrings, I arrived to the aid of a small ghostly boy named Mattias Lehner. The boy’s quest was rather disturbing. As he spoke he expressed how scared he was and how he knows that the Lich King is watching.

Through finishing the series of quests that Mattias sends you on you arrive to the conclusion that Mattias is in fact an an anagram of Arthas Menethil, and that the child is an anomaly of Arthas’ frozen heart which he cast away when he merged with the Lich King.

The overall story was very creepy and somewhat sad to know that Arthas’ inner-child is left roaming Icecrown, hiding in plain site and helping others understand what lead fate to Arthas’ frozen thrown.

Dominatrix Vrykul
Upon beginning the quest line to earn faction with Sons of Hodir, I was asked to first gain the trust of a group of Vrykul women in Brunnhildar Village.

One of the first quest allowed me to put my domm corsette and whip some men into submission. The caves outside of the village are filled with men that are beaten and downtrodden. Scared into working for the Brunnhildar women, these men often fall to exhaustion. The quest asked that I find those loafers and zap them. Although, sometimes zapping clearly was not enough. lol Somewhere deep inside it felt good to stick it to those Nordic-80′s-hair-band-looking guys.

On a side note, the Brunnhildar Village quests were rather amusing for me specifically, as a druid. When you enter the village and do quests to aid in gaining respect, you are disguised as one of the villagers themselves. It seems that someone forgot to take into account druid flight form when planning the disguise. While in the village I became superwoman in flight form. Not only was I flying, I was swimming through the air with the greatest of ease. Now, if I only had a red cape!

They Like Me, They Really Like Me!
The series of quests with the Brunnhildar Village of vrykul women and Thorim at the Temple of Storms weave a story of betrayal, rectifying the past, and making piece with the Sons of Hodir.

Upon reaching Neutral with the Sons, their king tasks you with earning more respect by aiding an old warrior in battle. I just have to mention this specific vehicle quest because the graphic has you riding in the giants hand. It was rather King Kong-ish, and gave me quite a tickle.

I hope that your adventures in Northrend have been enjoyable thus far. Mine certainly have been!
