Q u o t e:
Terenas was ceremonially cremated and ensconced within a magical urn. Uther, dismayed at having lost two friends to the darkness, volunteered to personally guard the urn in Andorhal. The town was raided by Arthas and his undead minions, who sought the magical urn for necromantic purposes. Uther stood against Arthas and his minions, but after an epic battle he was defeated - slain by the hands of his former pupil, whom he loved dearly.
Uther's body was recovered after the battle with Arthas by followers of the Alliance and laid to rest in a great tomb. The tomb is located in the Western Plaguelands, east of Chillwind Camp - the only light in a land of darkness.
The marker stone in the tomb reads:
Here lies Uther the Lightbringer
First Paladin — Founder of the Order of the Silver Hand
Uther lived and died to defend the kingdom of Lordaeron. Though he was betrayed by his most beloved student, we believe that his spirit lives on. He continues to watch over us, even as the shadows close in around our ruined land. His light is the light of all humanity - and so long as we honor his example, it shall never fade.

Now I've never really done quests in WPL because I hate the zone so much, so I'm not sure if there's anything that would contradict the following theory. But if there isnt, it's really something to think about in my oppinion.
Surrounding Uther's tomb is a very large amount of Scourge. Like I said, I've never actually quested there so I dont really know why they're there. But is it possible that Arthas sent them to recover the Paladin's body? Is it possible that he could have been reanimated and made into a Death Knight?
It says in the lore that Fallen Paladins were the FIRST CURRENT Death Knights (The Real FIRST Death Knights were Orcs placed in Human bodies). If you were Arthas, wouldnt the FIRST Paladin be something you'd want on your team? Your mentor raised again to serve you?
Blizzard is really building this Ice Crown encounter up. It's been almost a year since Wrath has been released and we still havent been able to get into Ice Crown. I just dont see them releasing it without catering to the true fans of the series. Who here wouldnt want to not only SEE Uther but have to fight him as a Death Knight?
BTW. Who is Anonymous?
Thoughts?
