I Thought They Were On Our Side…

With the next major patch coming which will include the dual talent spec feature and also quite a number of changes for all classes, the main feature of this upcoming patch will be the Ulduar raid dungeon release.Blizzard poster Daelo announced that the Ulduar raid dungeon will begin PTR testing soon and that some boss encounters will be available during the test.


Four bosses were listed for the upcoming PTR testing and what I saw shocked quite a bit and maybe you guys too. Three of the names are very familiar to anyone who has been around doing the quests and they presented themselves to be on our side or least have ties to doing so. According to Daelo, the following will be Ulduar bosses: Freya, Thorim, Hodir, and Iron Council.


Freya


You encounter the Avatar of Freya in Sholazar Basin where she sends you off to do some quests and eventually to use the secret weapon, the Etymidian to battle some elite scourge baddies. After this you'd think she's on your side. Or maybe it's because it's just her avatar so the real deal has managed to have an issue with us heroes. We'll find out the story soon.


Thorim


Thorim became pretty convincing to get you to help him defeat his deceptive brother Loken. After his capture at the hands of his brother, that was the last we heard of him or his dragon. We managed to own Loken in the Halls of Lightning but apparently our problem with this family isn't over. I thought that we'd see more of Thorim in Ulduar but as a friend not a foe. Has the deception of his brother passed on to him too or is he being made to fight us heroes against his will? We'll find out soon enough.


Hodir


We don't know much about this guy but we do know that there's a friendly faction in the game named the Sons of Hodir. They give us cool shoulder enchants and even a cool mammoth mounts. So why does their creator hate us heroes? We'll soon find out.


So as you can see, I'm pretty confused. The story in Storm Peaks seemed quite complicated to me already and this just makes me even more confused.
