"Flamestrike" In it's native tongue, Felo'melorn was borne into battle by members of the Sunstrider family as they proved their valor in the War of the Ancients, during the Troll Wars, and against the death knight Arthas Menethil.

Ultimately, the sword was lost in the frigid wastes of Northrend.

Greetings. I am Modera, Archmage of the Council of Six. I've come across a lead on a weapon that could significantly aid you in your fight against the Legion.
My source is...well...unable to join us within the city. I ask that you meet with me at the crater of the city's foundation in Hillsbrad.
Due to the sensitive nature of this matter I also ask for your discretion. If you attempt to speak to me at any other location I will disavow any knowledge of this message.
I await your arrival.

Aethas Sunreaver says: Thank you both for meeting me in such an inhospitable location. I assure you if I was able to join you in Dalaran, I would.
Modera says: The wounds of the Divine Bell incident run deep, Aethas. Others in the council are not as forgiving as I.
Aethas Sunreaver says: Precisely why I'm here. If I can't return to the council then I at least wish to gain access to the city once again in trade for my information.
Modera says: I'll see that I can do.
Aethas Sunreaver says: You have my thanks, friend.
I used to know a distant relative of King Anasterian, Lyandra Sunstrider. She had the Sunstrider name but in truth her branch of the family had no claim to the throne.
After Kael'thas's betrayal, she became obsessed with finding Felo'melorn. I'd thought it was a fool's errand and indeed it has been many years since I last heard from her.
That all changed when I began my own search for the location of the blade. I saw a vision of her with the weapon in hand. Around her the land was covered in ice and a fortress loomed overhead.
Modera says: Icecrown then?
Aethas Sunreaver says: Indeed, and nothing happens in Icecrown unknown to "Him". I'd actually be surprised if he didn't have a hand in this.

The Lich King says: I sense that a foolish mage has come in search of plunder. You underestimate the dangers of Icecrown.
Your thoughts are easily read. I see you are here to take Felo'melorn and use it against the Legion. Interesting.
I wonder...perhaps if you are as powerful as you believe then you may be more worthy than the last mage who came here to claim it.
You have been warned. I will not be responsible for what happens to you or for what happened to the last mage who came to seek her death.
Should you succeed then the blade is yours. Should you fail then you will join the Scourge. Do not expect my protection.

I, too, came to Icecrown in search of Felo'melorn. The Lich King gave me the blade and more, he gave me purpose!
It is only when the blinding pain of life left me did I see the truth, only then did the majesty of the plan become revealed.
You do not realize the you're groping in the darkness! Felo'melorn in your hands would be wasted!
The blade is mine by the will of the master and by blood! If you oppose me you WILL be struck down!

Foolish mortal! You should have left when you had the chance.
Arise ghouls, feast upon the heart of this intruder!
Unacceptable! My minions will rip you apart!
I will not be defeated! Come my pet, sate your hunger with the flesh of the living!
Enough of these games. This ends here!
If you wish for my blade so badly then you shall have it!
Awaken Gorewing! Tear my foe asunder!

I'm with you, hero! I'll hold Lyandra at bay, focus on destroying that monster of hers!
Lyandra yells: Aethas, how DARE you! Have you forgotten who I am?
Aethas yells: I remember who you were, but the creature in front of me now is just another walking corpse.

Artifact Book Text

Felo'melorn

Felo'melorn. Flamestrike. Sword of kings. Bane of trolls. Its legend stretches back through the millennia. It stands as a symbol of hope, loss, and power-of destruction and renewal.

Those who have wielded Felo'melorn have forever etched their names into history. Will you do the same?

Felo'melorn, Part One

Though it is not known for certain, rumors that have passed down through generations suggest that a young Dath'Remar Sunstrider, who would one day become king of the high elves, dreamed of the weapon Felo'melorn. In that dream, the arcane blade burned like the sun and dispatched so many enemies that it created a swift-flowing river of blood.

Dath'Remar would later recount the specifics of the blade's appearance to the renowned magesmith Luminarian as he crafted the weapon on his arcane forge.

Felo'melorn, Part Two

From the personal writings of Serena Everwind, night elf priestess during the War of the Ancients:

""Dath'Remar wielded Felo'melorn, Flamestrike, like an elf possessed. He was an unstoppable force, at once majestic and graceful yet savage and deadly. The runes of the blade seemed to pulse in rhythm with the pounding of Dath'Remar's fierce heart as he separated limb from body and head from shoulders.

""When the fighting was done, Dath'Remar stood painted in demon blood. As night fell, we knew that more battles remained, and yet, with this elf and this blade among us, we held out hope that victory did not lie beyond our grasp.""

Felo'melorn, Part Three

In the hands of Anasterian Sunstrider, great-grandson of the high elf king Dath'Remar, Felo'melorn became a legendary troll-killer.

Among the trolls, whispers spread of a spellbound blade, empowered by arcane magic not only to slay the most formidable and cunning of its enemies, but also to cut through superior numbers and irrigate battlefields with their blood.

Troll witch doctors set about casting hexes and curses against the infamous weapon, but history bears out that even the darkest voodoo did little to negate the effectiveness of Felo'melorn during the Troll Wars.

Felo'melorn, Part Four

An account of the battle between the death knight Arthas and Anasterian Sunstrider during the attack on Quel'Thalas, from the personal writings of the former priestess Liadrin:

""All fighting came to a halt. Silence fell over the battlefield. I watched from a distance, helpless as the former prince Arthas cast a spell freezing Anasterian in a coat of ice. The king cast a counterspell, freeing himself as the death knight advanced. Felo'melorn and Frostmourne met, the strident clash of their impact rolling out over the ice and across the blood-drenched tiles.

""The force of their meeting cleaved Felo'melorn, Flamestrike, in half. Arthas's swing continued, severing the right leg of our aged, beloved king. Even as Anasterian dropped to his remaining knee, he struck out, burying his broken blade in the death knight's thigh. Arthas whirled Frostmourne up, over, and down, thrusting it to the hilt behind Anasterian's collarbone and deep into his chest.

""The death knight yanked his blade free; Anasterian pitched forward onto the ice.

""The great king of the high elves was dead. And for many of us that day, our hopes and our hearts died with him.""

Felo'melorn, Part Five

Excerpt from the journal of Lor'themar Theron, concerning Prince Kael'thas's return in the immediate wake of Quel'Thalas's destruction:

""Our fallen king, Anasterian, lay upon a table in the tavern hall; his broken blade, Felo'melorn, rested upon his chest, the two pieces joined. I told our prince that the weapon had been shattered in the battle with the death knight Arthas.

""Kael'thas walked to his father's body and ran his finger over the fracture, remarking that he did not believe it possible for Flamestrike's blade to be sundered.

""I was left wondering what legacy, if any, awaited our people and the legendary blade that now symbolized not strength or dominance, but fallibility.""

Felo'melorn, Part Six

In the time following the devastating Scourge attack on Quel'Thalas, Prince Kael'thas renamed the high elf survivors the sin'dorei, or blood elves. While the prince and a band of blood elves assisted the human troops of Grand Marshal Garithos against the remaining undead forces, it was rumored that Kael'thas kept the pieces of his father's sword, Felo'melorn, on a sideboard in his dilapidated quarters.

Kael'thas dreamed of making Flamestrike's blade whole again so that it might serve once more as a symbol of hope, to show his people that even in the face of overwhelming hardship, the blood elves would not be broken.

Felo'melorn, Part Seven

In time, Prince Kael'thas Sunstrider realized his dream of rejoining the broken pieces of Felo'melorn.

It is said that the sword was reforged with ""magic, and hatred, and a burning need for revenge.""

There are some who speculate that the sword was taken to a descendant of Luminarian, the magesmith who originally created the weapon on his legendary arcane forge before the War of the Ancients. This assertion has never been independently verified.

Felo'melorn, Part Eight

An account of Kael'thas Sunstrider's battle with the death knight Arthas, from the personal writings of Kael'thas:

""The death knight charged, his blade, Frostmourne, arcing down. I blocked with my staff, but it was no use; the stave shattered. It was then that I revealed my surprise...

""Felo'melorn. Flamestrike, mended, made whole once again. It burned with righteous fury as our two swords clashed. Each of us held steady, blades pressed tight. I smiled and asked Arthas if he remembered Felo'melorn.

""He snidely replied that he saw it snap beneath Frostmourne in the instant before he slew my father. When he shoved me back, I told him that I had found the blade, had it reforged...

""'Broken swords are weak where they are mended, elf,' the despicable former prince said.

""'Human swords, perhaps,' I replied. And I knew... that day I knew this one thing at least: I might not win, but Felo'melorn would not be broken again.

""Filled with renewed purpose, I attacked.""

Felo'melorn, Part Nine

From the journal of Lyandra Sunstrider, distant relative of King Anasterian:

""Today, at last, my efforts to uncover the location of my birthright have borne fruit.

""It is now made known to me that the sword of my ancestors, Felo'melorn, Flamestrike, resides within the Lich King's stronghold of Icecrown Citadel.

""It was there that the blade was taken to after leaving the possession of the traitor Kael'thas Sunstrider.

""At last, I shall validate my claim to the Sunstrider throne. I shall seek out Flamestrike, and I shall realize my destiny.""

Felo'melorn, Part Ten

Last journal entry of Lyandra Sunstrider, distant relative of King Anasterian:

""Icecrown Citadel, I curse your name.

""Along empty halls I made my way, through a twisting labyrinth of black saronite, until I beheld a warm, red glow pouring from a room at the end of a dismal passage.

""I entered and saw... Felo'melorn. Flamestrike, mounted upon a dais. At last, the sword that would solidify my claim to the Sunstrider throne! I approached, awestruck, reached out...

""And the door slammed shut behind me. The prize I had so long sought was at last within my grasp...

""But now... I am trapped. Surely death awaits me. Or perhaps... something worse.""

Felo'melorn, Part Eleven

Excerpt from a speech given by Aethas Sunreaver:

""My brothers, in the time since the Sunreavers' expulsion from the Kirin Tor, we have endeavored to secure readmission. I tell you now that the key to our salvation exists... it exists within the frozen black halls of Icecrown Citadel, in the possession of a fallen elf--Lyandra Sunstrider.

""She dwells there now as a reanimated shell of her former self, but I have learned that it is Lyandra who holds the infamous blade of kings, Felo'melorn. Flamestrike. It has been trusted to remain in her keeping by the Lich King himself, to aid in battle against the Legion. Lyandra was obsessed with the blade while she was among the living, and when she ventured to Icecrown to claim it, that obsession proved to be her downfall. However, Lyandra's tragic misstep provides us with an opportunity...

""An opportunity for the Sunreavers to retake our rightful place... among the Kirin Tor!""

The special conversations are not limited to Dalaran. I saw one in Azsuna, I assume there are more. Cool that they added that for certain artifacts.
