This set was part of the Scourge Invasion event that heralded the launch of Naxxramas. Each part of the four sets (Cloth, Leather, Mail, Plate) being obtained in a different way, the gloves as a quest reward from the Argent Dawn (in return for turning in Necrotic Runes), the bracers as a drop from four different rare elite undead, and the chest piece from the Shadows of Doom.
