Atramedes bell inscription

[Muhox]

Last week I took a closer look at the bell in the Atramedes encounter. I recognized the inscribed "runes" say: "Too Soon Executus". It was a funny suprise and I wanted to share this with everybody who is interested in such things, especially the people that usually do not click the bell ;-)

Haha! This is brilliant! Great find. I wonder how many have seen it before you, if any.

It's very humorous that they put something like that on the bells



But I don't get it...

It is what Ragnaros Yells when you get to him in MC.

And for the full quote:

Majordomo Executus yells: Imprudent whelps! You've rushed headlong to your own deaths! See now, the master stirs!
Majordomo Executus yells: Behold Ragnaros - the Firelord! He who was ancient when this world was young! Bow before him, mortals! Bow before your ending!
Ragnaros yells: TOO SOON! YOU HAVE AWAKENED ME TOO SOON, EXECUTUS! WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS INTRUSION?
Majordomo Executus yells: These mortal infidels, my lord! They have invaded your sanctum and seek to steal your secrets!
Ragnaros yells: FOOL! YOU ALLOWED THESE INSECTS TO RUN RAMPANT THROUGH THE HALLOW CORE? AND NOW YOU LEAD THEM TO MY VERY LAIR? YOU HAVE FAILED ME, EXECUTUS! JUSTICE SHALL BE MET, INDEED!
Ragnaros kills Executus.
Ragnaros yells: NOW FOR YOU, INSECTS! BOLDLY, YOU SOUGHT THE POWER OF RAGNAROS. NOW YOU SHALL SEE IT FIRSTHAND!

Question is why on Atramedes bell? What is the link between the bells and Atramedes.....

Thanks for sharing!

[Nah]

Wow, I never got close enough to the bell to read the inscription, since someone always sprints over to stop the RP. O.o Seems a little odd to see "TOO SOON EXECUTUS" in BWD.

Not too Odd as MC is underneath the very place that BWD is situated(entrance is in BRD remember)

Question is why on Atramedes bell? What is the link between the bells and Atramedes.....

The reason the Burning Steppes and Searing Gorge is as they are, is because before the Orcs even came to Azeroth, in the War of Three Hammers, the Ironforge and Wildhammer Dwarves were leading a counter-assault on the Dark Iron Dwarves, who had just recently been ousted from the former capital of the Wildhammers, Grim Batol.

In a desperate bid to destroy their enemies, the Dark Iron Dwarves summoned Ragnaros, who's arrival created those fiery-as-hell areas, from what previously were more akin to Redridge/Loch Modan-themed areas.

This explains all the fire elementals in Blackrock Depths, as well as all the Twilight's Hammer. If you do the Dwarven starting zone, you also find out from Moira herself, that while some Dark Iron Dwarves are on the side of the Alliance now, many are still lead by the Twilight's Hammer, hence why we still have BRD as a dungeon, in virtually the same format it always has been. (This is also why Dwarves can be Warlocks and Mages now, through Dark Iron teachings.)

As to the bell and Atramedes himself? Nothing. Blackrock Mountain was a Dwarven city long before the Blackrock Orcs of the First War came to claim it their own (And they took the upper parts), and before Nefarian (aka Blackwing) came much later on (late Second War, around the time of the Through the Dark Portal expansion I believe). The reason the Dwarves only occupy the lowest regions is two-fold:
1: Closer to their lord Ragnaors
2: The Dark Horde (Blackrock Orcs, Smolderthorn Trolls, Stonespire Ogres, and parts of the Black Dragonflight) have kept them thoroughly beat down below, as Ragnaros has been too weak to be summoned back to the mortal plane again.

As to the reason for the inscription is mostly just Blizzard being Blizzard :P
