Before Burning Crusade came out, all World of Warcraft players had of Uther Lightbringer was lore and a grave in Andorhal. The addition of the Paladin class to the Horde with World of Warcraft's first expansion opened up the potential of giving both factions the chance to meet with the man (or at least his ghost) so crucial to the history of Azeroth. Today's One Shots comes to us from one of our very own Massively writers, Colin Brennan, who sent in this lovely shot he took honoring Uther.

All you have to do is email it to us at oneshots AT massively DOT com along with your name, the game it's from, and a quick note about what we're seeing. We'll post it out here and give you credit for sending it in!

I've never understood why blizzard didn't like "resurrect" him when wotlk launched because when you played as arthas in WC3 Uther was a major lore character and he really felt like a father figure. Maybe they'll do something with him when the Icecrown patch goes live.

I'd say Uther's death was relatively permanent, as they go, even in Warcraft. Plus, having his tomb there throughout all of Vanilla WoW kinda means they can't bring him back, unless in spirit.
It wouldn't surprise me if Arthas still hears Uther's voice in his head sometimes.
He had a great last confrontation though...
To Arthas: "What? Have you come to piss in your father's ashes one last time?"
