Arthas- The Lich King

After lamenting over his death for the past few days, I took a walk down memory lane to enjoy the Warcraft lore. Without Arthas, Warcraft wouldn't be what it is today. He was the key factor to many conflicts and problems to the world of Azeroth, yet because of him the story develops. You can say he is a necessary evil. Many people simply know Arthas as the paladin who swayed fro mthe Light and became the Lich King. He slayed his own father with Frostmourne before he ascended into total madness. This is as much as the average people know. But in World of Warcraft, Arthas has recently been actively carrying out his plans to wash over the world with his Scourge. As defenders of Azeroth, we have to stop him and eventually kill him. I do not regret downing such an epic figure, but rather, I am upset over the outcome Arthas has received. In the end, nothing just was resolved, for there will always be a Lich King... Frostmourne hungers...

Let's take a look at the past trailers for the Lich King in remembrance to his death.

Warcraft III Frozen Throne Ending

If you don't play WoW. This is probably as far as you know. The birth of the Lich King. Truly Epic. But due tographic constraints at that time, the cgi isn't very good



Wrath of the Lich King Trailer

I have always loved this video, not only was the cgi rendered very well, the whole theme of paradox in comparision with King Terenas' speech and Arthas' actions were very well written. Must watch!


Fall of the Lich King Patch Trailer

This marks the beginning of his end. As the Argent Crusade marched in front of his door. War begins...



And of course, The end of the Lich King...
or is it?



You might be wondering, who the hell is Bolvar Fordragon? He wass the paladin leading the Alliance on the assult to the Citadel very much earlier on. I prefer to call the event "Hour of the Forsaken". Rings a bell? Hehehe, Watch on and find out.




Now all can see, this is the Hour of the Forsaken...
