The Argent Tournament

The Argent Tournament is a world event that was introduced in patch 3.1 and is found northeast of Sindragosa’s Fall in Icecrown at an area called the Argent Tournament Grounds. On the purpose of the Argent Tournament itself, Highlord Tirion Fordring makes the following announcement from the stage to the east of the Ring of Champions at the top of every hour:


Five minutes before Tirion speaks:

Herald Beluus yells: Highlord Tirion Fordring approaches the stage to address those gathered upon the tournament grounds! Make way to the stage area to attend him!

Combatants of the Alliance and Horde! You are welcome under the banner of the Argent Crusade. To the south lies our goal. We will march to the Citadel and cut out the heart of the Scourge where it dwells. But this is no task to be taken lightly. A massive attack with every able-bodied man would end in needless slaughter. Every soldier lost would rise as the enemy. Azeroth would be left defenseless against the undead threat. Instead, we require a small, concentrated strike force for the attack to succeed. For that reason, we have created the Argent Tournament. Within these walls, you will be tested. Your skill in combat will be matched against the fiercest dangers Northrend has to offer under the watchful eyes of your leaders. Your prowess, your might, and your cunning will be under close watch. These games will determine the best Azeroth has to offer. The victors will take their rightful place in the assault upon the Citadel. We will stand together in the face of evil, and Arthas WILL fall!
