Game of Thrones Easter Egg!

Unread post by Silivren »

So I noticed while I was questing that a GoT easter egg has worked itself into WoW. The Shado-Pan are the Black Brotherhood or the Night Watch! Think about it, they guard a giant wall from the mantids as the Night Watch guard their wall. If that wasnt enough I clicked an npc to hear him say "We are the watchers on the walls, we are the swords in the darkness." or something like that. They have a few other quotes that seem very watch-ish and if that wasnt enough heres the direct oath that all Black Brothers take before joining the Night Watch.

Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the fire that burns against the cold, the light that brings the dawn, the horn that wakes the sleepers, the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come.

There is also a pair of BoE leather gloves called Syrio's Gloves of Tutelage (http://www.wowhead.com/item=87443#dropped-by) With a flavor text "What do we say to death?" Obviously taking the quote from Syrio Forel in Book 1 of "A Song of Ice and Fire." "What do we say to the god of death? Not today." I squeed with joy when I randomly came upon these gloves when I was leveling in the Dread Wastes.
