TheWoWDBIt's an amazing questchain given by Highlord Tirion Fordring after unlocking Crusader's Pinnacle. Nothing special about it other than it touches on Lore real nicely. A selfess Argent Soldier named Crusader Bridenbrad contracted the Plague of Undeath and will become a Servant of Arthas shortly.
Tirion Fordring orders you to ask the aid of the most pure and powerful beings of Life and Light. The Grove-Keeper Remulos,the Dragon Aspect Alexstrasza the Life-Binder and the Naaru A'dal.
Each give their boon to help save Bridenbrad. All however end up purifying Bridenbrad,but not cleansing him of the Plague. Sadly he dies,but A'dal shows up and promises he'll live "Not a soldier of Undeath,but dwell in Paradise for the light takes care of their own".
One of Blizzard's most Lore-wrought quests.

The reason I enjoyed this questline so much was definatly A'dal's involvement. I was expecting him to be written off and just to serve as a reading lamp for Khadgar now that the BC is old news. The fact that Blizz still plans on involving their old NPC's in new content makes me happy.
I like how A'dal has the power to teleport me to Northrend, yet he apparently cant take the time to just send me directly to Bridenbrad

What to do
Description
I am pleased that you have come to me, {name}. I know of Crusader Bridenbrad, and of your travels in hope of saving him. Bridenbrad's valor has sparked remarkable selflessness in you, and this is a miracle unto itself. The Light will take care of its own. I will extend my blessing to Bridenbrad and he shall not endure the corruption of undeath. I shall return you to Dalaran, and you shall return to him. Know that I remain with you.
