Faith. Faith is the source of all the pleasure we find in submission. Faith can keep us warm even on Northrend's coldest nights. Faith will save us. Faith can grant us eternal life.-"Propaganda pamphlet," issue 1.
The Lich King is our only master. He is our faith. His most loyal servant, our great lord Kel'Thuzad, is assembling an army, an army that believes in the Lich King alone.
