In the Caverns of Time, there is a portal that leads into the past, where you must help free Thrall from Durnholde Keep in Southshore, soon after the end of the Second War, when Southshore was still held by the humans of Lorderon. Here's a conversation that occurs in the inn as a group of allies examine an evil artifact and attempt to alter it's nature for good.
 

Commander Mograine: "Keep your voices down. There are strangers about..."
CM: "Brothers and sisters, I have called you here today to discuss the fate of Lordaeron."
Commonder Mograine lowers his voice to a whisper.
CM: "I hear things... THings that should not be."
CM: "The dead rise... Undead, from the frozen northlands. Whole cities have gone missing. I..."
CM: "I have heard that Northrend is lost..."
Gasps are heard throughout the room.
CM: "We must stand at the read. I have faced undead before. They are ruthless killing machines, devoid of any emotion or compassion."
Tirion Fordring nods.
Tirion Fordring: "Aye, I've battled them as well. We are ill-prepared as a kingdome to withstand such an assault."
Arcanist Doan: "What do you propose, Mograine?"
CM: "Propose? I propose that we prepare. That we prepare our loved ones, family, and friends for the possibility of an undead holocaust."
CM: "And there is this..."
Commander Mograine unlocks the chest.
Abbandis : "By the Light! What is it?"
CM: "I have had this object in my posession for 10 years. Since Blackrock Spire..."
CM: "I wrested it free from the remains of an orc lieutenant - a dark caster... It is from their homeworld."
CM: "Do not get to close. I laid a hand upon it once... Only once and never again. The memories of that day still linger."
Commander Mograine removes the gauntlet from his right arm and shows everyone his mangled hand.
CM: " I surmise that this object is the living embodiment of shadows... darkness... It is a minifestation. It is a void."
Isillien: "I do not see how this evil artifact is relevant to the undead. We must destroy it!"
Commander Mograine shakes his head.
CM: " No, old friend, it is very relevant."
CM: "Let me ask you this, brothers and sisters : Can good exist without evil? Can there be light without dark?"
CM: "And if that answer is no, then could it be possible that because this artifact exists, its polar opposite must also exist?"
CM: "Could you imagine what the material manifestation of the Light could do against the undead?"
Isillien: "Nonsense, Mograine! It must be destroyed!"
