What’s the lore behind the Argent Tournament?

What’s the lore behind the Argent Tournament? Granted, I’m not on the PTR, but right now it seems to be just some random thing Blizzard tossed in to keep people interested. I mean, the Argent Crusade must have their hands full with the Lich King, so is it really that prudent to be throwing a big party in the heart of his kingdom?

It’s hardly a party. They’re war games, blood sport, a promise of glory to all able-bodied fighters. It’s a disguised recruitment drive, in other words. They’re attracting more fighters to their cause in Icecrown, and using the tournament to weed out those that would just get themselves undeadified on the battlefield. It’s also something of a ’screw you Lich King’ move, because they’re building this awesome colosseum right on the Scourge’s front yard, which is a huge boost to morale.
