* When Balnazzar begins to corrupt the paladin, the Ashbringer takes on its Fallen Hope appearance.
* Several lines in this quest are homages to past events.
** Maxwell Tyrosus closely quotes Tirion Fordring's monologue in Light's Hammer.
** is verbatim what Tirion Fordring prayed to the Light in order to escape the Lich King's ice prison and save the heroes.
** Balnazzar declaring that is in reference to Mal'Ganis' words to Arthas in the Culling of Stratholme.
** Balnazzar also very closely matches Kairozdormu's words to Garrosh Hellscream while he was held prisoner in .
