We took notice of this in an earlier edition of the Queue (http://www.wow.com/2009/12/29/the-queue-allie-gets-lost-in-icecrown-edition/), but I thought this little bit of news merited its own article for the benefit of lore junkies, raid leaders, or anyone who just might have missed it. After being asked a question over where Angrathar was really located in the larger Icecrown raid complex, I flew out to no-man's-land of southern Icecrown/northwestern Dragonblight and tried to get a good handle on the architecture. While doing so, I noticed a new and extremely tall spire nestled in the mountain range past the Wrath Gate and flew over to investigate. At the top of a saronite spire is huge chunk of misty ice capped by a flat surface with a black design vaguely reminiscent of the one on the Lordaeron throne room (http://www.wow.com/2009/09/30/shifting-perspectives-leveling-71-80/) (although for all I know this is entirely unintended). From above, it bears a startling resemblance to an image datamined by Boubouille (http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2009/december/throne_first.jpg) some time ago that was guessed to be the location of the eventual fight with the Lich King -- and I think this exterior "set" could be quite useful for any raid attempting to work on positioning once details of the fight become known. Curiously enough, the Throne itself doesn't appear to be present in-game at the moment, but that might change soon.Filed under: News items (http://www.wow.com/category/news-items/), Raiding (http://www.wow.com/category/raiding/), Lore (http://www.wow.com/category/lore/), Bosses (http://www.wow.com/category/bosses/)
