Phase 4 of the Zombie invasion begins! [UPDATED x8]

Argent Dawn representatives are being spotted around capital cities. The new raid boss in Karazhan, Tenris Mirkblood, is now active and dropping one Arcanite Ripper (a 2H axe), a Vampiric Batling for each raid member, and two badges for each raid member. You can get to him by going through Attuneman, clearing him, and then moving up the stairs behind his room. We've got a strategy guide up now with details on how to defeat him
You can see the location of the necropolises on the world map - they are indicated by little purple skull icons.
A Haunted Momento has been confirmed to drop from rare spawns around the necropolises- it's a leather ball type item that you throw to someone. Whoever has the momento gets to have a wraith follow you around! Pics after the break and in our gallery.
Big Update: Click the Arcanite Ripper and play it like a guitar!
Late night updates: There are Argent Dawn healers appearing at most flight paths (if not all) around the game. They are making is so the flight path NPC does not become a zombie anymore. We have a semi-confirmation of the Lurch buff increasing in speed to 125%. But we also have conflicting reports.

Got lucky with my brother (pally) and im a mage and found a whole group with no one around. He rounded them up and I AOE'd them down. I wound up with 130 runes and we got 3 summons in. Someone stole one of them though. That part sucks.

Now the infection is 60 secs, and the healer at the FP in org is dead, or was for the majority of the day today. Many people are complaining, which makes trade chat worse than Chuck Norris jokes, murloc movies, and anal ability linkage combined. Zombies are everywhere, dead ones, lurching ones, NPCs, players. Now there's plagued rats and roaches that will infect players too. As if we needed more ways to become a zombie!
