Blizzard releases Bosstiary for the Frozen Halls

The Bosstiaries often have information that the dungeons never really give you; for example, who knew that Auriaya was the Titans' librarian? Nobody, that's who. We just wondered why the heck she was wandering around Ulduar with a bunch of cats and a bad attitude. But now you can go into the Frozen Halls and know exactly who you're fighting and why, replete with marks on the map indicating the position of the bosses and the instance entrance.
The Forge of Souls sees us freeing the souls of innocents from Arthas' Soul Grinder machines, run by Bronjahm, Godfather of Souls. Guarding the machines and preventing souls from escaping is the Devourer of Souls.
The Pit of Saron is Arthas' saronite mining operation; Krick, a leper gnome, oversees the operation from atop his abomination, Ick. Forgemaster Garfrost shapes the saronite into weapons of destruction under Arthas' command, and Scourgelord Tyrannus lords over the pit with his fearsome Scourge powers.
The Halls of Reflection are Arthas' private quarters, guarded by his lieutenants in life, Falric and Marwyn. Inside, Arthas himself keeps Frostmourne locked away from those who would try to use it against him.
Patch 3.3 is the last major patch of Wrath of the Lich King. With the new Icecrown Citadel 5-man dungeons and 10/25-man raid arriving soon, patch 3.3 will deal the final blow to Arthas. WoW.com's Guide to Patch 3.3 will keep you updated with all the latest patch news.Filed under: Patches, News items, Wrath of the Lich King

Auriaya was the Titans' librarian? Uh... why? I don't see any books in the instance that need cataloging...
The Forge of Souls is definitely my favorite of these three instances. The effects in that dungeon are pretty awesome and the bosses are fun.

But that's why she's cranky. Yoggy wanted to go all digital and burned all the books before the new Kindles arrived.

"Krick, a leper gnome, oversees the operation from atop his abomination, Ick. "
Who rule Bartertown?

Is it just me or could Bronjahm, Godfather of Souls actually be a reference to James Brown, who is the the one and only Godfather of Soul?
Raynier Nov 21st 2009 8:35PM
bingo. you're exactly right with the James Brown reference.

@icefox:
This bag actually dropped for me when I ran FoS on the PTR several days ago, although I believe it was called "Papa's Brand New Bag," and it was only a 20 slot bag.
JC_Icefox Nov 22nd 2009 12:42PM
Actually, I had no idea that he did have a bag drop in his loot table, mine was initially intended as a joke. ^^;
Regardless, I'm happy they included something similar, It'd feel like such a waste if they missed on that one...

I've always wondered why he doesn't carry his sword around with him..everyone else carries their weapons on their backs and stuff.
Silly Arthas no wonder you will fall.
Aarkan Nov 21st 2009 7:39PM
It is the sword who carries Arthas, for Frostmourne is the true Lich King.

As someone who's isolated himself from a lot of the spoilers for Icecrown, this was pretty much my reaction to scanning through the bosstiary:
Forge of Souls:
"Meh...meh..."
Pit of Saron:
"Meh...meh...meh..."
Hall of Reflection:
