A replica of Arthas' Frostmourne sword was recently auctioned off, ending up in the hands of wealthy Italian Warcraft fan Xeophonix for the sum of $20,700.
Along with this gorgeous steel reproduction of the famed weapon, Xeophonix also earned a spot in Arthas' Army of Disciples, though whether this guarantees him any dark powers or hordes of undead followers is still in question.
For those not up on their Warcraft lore, Arthas was a virtuous Paladin before taking up Frostmourne to protect his land from the rampaging undead. While it served that purpose, it also had the side effect of twisting his noble values and turning him into a megalomaniacal Death Knight.
Xeophonix's identity is unknown, though the high price tag comes as no surprise in light of World of Warcraft's epic playerbase which includes many wealthy celebrities (and not so wealthy, yet stunningly attractive Game|Life writers).
