Day and night the ground trembles under lumbering siege vehicles while monstrous airships pummel enemy positions with fiery cannons. Both factions have deployed devastating weapons to drive each other from this strategic location. Known as the Isle of Conquest, this rocky battleground's proximity to Icecrown makes it a highly prized base in the war against the Lich King. Off the coast of Northrend, Horde and Alliance forces are locked in an epic struggle for a tiny island rich in resources. Few will survive the coliseum's perils, but the Argent Crusade is confident that the worthy heroes who do emerge victorious will be ready to join the offensive against Icecrown Citadel and end the Lich King's reign of terror. Formidable Horde and Alliance champions, ferocious beasts, and Scourge lieutenants are just some of the opponents awaiting adventurers in this gladiatorial arena. Yet these heroes have yet to face the greatest challenge of all: the Crusaders' Coliseum.
Under thundering skies the tournament's participants hone the arts of war and face off in bone-shattering jousting matches to earn the right to be called champions. Since the opening of the Argent Tournament in northeastern Icecrown, adventurers have journeyed from across Azeroth and beyond to prove their worth in the heart of the Lich King's domain.
