yes, but at the point of him getting on northrend, he basicly ditched the alliance and became neutral until he got frostmourn and pwned the demon dude and became possesed by the sword.

he stopped being ont he alliance side when he declined the king's order to stop attacking the undead at stratholme, but he just said screw you and went on anyways

Комментарий от 244300

Has anyone got any knowledge on the story behind Frostmourne and how Arthas came in possession of it? I read that he retrieved it from a solid block of ice, in Northrend, and that the Lich King could communicate to Arthas through it. I am wondering when the story was made up, cuz Steven Erikson tells a story almost identical to this one, in Reaper's Gale which was released a couple of years back.

Комментарий от 243044

COOL can you accually pick up the sword ? lol

Комментарий от 155673

no -.-
It's not there, Arthas took it loong ago.

Комментарий от euebi

For lorefreaks, the conversation that takes place during the cut-scene:

The walls of Frostmourne Cavern shudder and shake.
Prince Arthas says: Behold, Muradin, our salvation, Frostmourne.
Muradin says: Hold, lad. There's an inscription on the dais. It's a warning. It says, "Whomsoever takes up this blade shall wield power eternal. Just as the blade rends flesh, so must power scar the spirit." Oh, I should've known. The blade is cursed! Let's get the hell out of here!
Prince Arthas says: I would gladly bear any curse to save my homeland.
Muradin says: Leave it be, Arthas. Forget this business and lead your men home.
Prince Arthas says: Damn the men! Nothing shall prevent me from having my revenge, old friend. Not even you.
Prince Arthas says: Now, I call out to the spirits of this place. I will give anything or pay any price, if only you will help me save my people.
<a shard of ice falls down and hits Muradin. It looks like he died>

<seconds later after Arthas ran out of the cave>
Muradin says: O' my head... Wh... Where am I?
Muradin says: Who... Who am I?

Looks like Muradin survived after all!

Комментарий от 160603

careful with that subject... there was still that badass questline goign through revealing what lady katrana prestor really was way back when... quest may not be doable now but it was around

Комментарий от 232266

Anyone notice from behind Muradin looks like Yoda? I was like spazzing out on general when I saw this. Nice touch by Blizzard I think.

Комментарий от 86033

Arthas runs away from the quest location at the end of the speech and my instinct was to follow him. If you do that you won't get quest credit. Stay where you are. Arthas just de-spawns before he gets out of the cave.

I went to Frostmourne Cavern as Horde, just because I'm a lore junky. To my surprise, a friendly gnome (PvP server) was turning in this quest, and was nice enough to let me watch the cut-scene. Awesome!

Again, I highly suggest visiting the cavern for both factions, just for the importance it holds.

Wrong. Arthas never died. His soul and flesh deteriorated, and were corrupted. But, he never died.

Комментарий от 150928

And then? This quest chain cant stop like this!
It is too important.

Комментарий от ultralars

wrong again he did die well..atleast he is not arthas since he morphed with the lich king remember?

is frostmourne avaiable to loot does anyone know i heard that it was a ledgendary DK only sword from a dungeon at level 80. can someone verify?

Комментарий от Kazhirran

Ehm? Wasn't Muradin killed by one of the Ice-splinters when Arthas broke the ice, surrounding Frostmourne?

Комментарий от 213301

no he wasnt. he survived and got a memory loss. no1 heard from him ever since... spooky!

Комментарий от 256558

why cant we shove arthas out of the way, grab the sword, and shout: PWNED!

Комментарий от 164711

Its not the first time Blizzard have changed the lore...

Комментарий от 242841

How Arthas claimed Frostmourne:

In the Human Campaign of Warcraft III, Prince Arthas Menethil and Jaina Proudmoore are sent by Lord Uther the Lightbringer to investigate the source of plagued grain being distributed amongst the villagers.
They find out that a cult called the Cult of the Damned is responsible for the grain, and Arthas vows to track down and kill their leader, Kel'thuzad. He and Jaina do so, but before he dies, Kel'thuzad tells them that his death will 'mean little' and that his cult was being commanded by the Dreadlord, Mal'Ganis.

Skipping a few parts here - you can learn a lot more if you play the Caverns of Time: The Culling of Stratholme.

Arthas travels to Northrend, to Mal'Ganis' base of operations. There he meets up with his old friend Muradin Bronzebeard, who tells him about a powerful Runeblade named Frostmourne that his dwarves heard about. Arthas vows to help him find Frostmourne, which they find after killing the Guardian infront of the cave.
Heres a bit of a quote:
Muradin: Hold lad. There's an inscription on the dais. It's a warning. It says, "Whomsoever takes up this blade shall wield power eternal. Just as the blade rends flesh, so musst power scar the spirit." Oh, I should've known. The blade is cursed! Let's get the hell out of here!

Arthas ignores him, and releases the blade from the ice in which it is encased. As Frostmourne bursts free, one of the shards of ice hits Muradin, knocking him unconscious***. Arthas returned to his base and, using Frostmourne, killed Mal'Ganis, just as the Lich King planned.

Hence, Arthas became the first of the Lich King's Death Knights.

***SPOILER***
***In Warcraft 3 it is led to believe that Muradin is dead, but in Wrath of the Lich King it is revealed that he is simply knocked out and now suffers from amnesia. Don't know if this is a retcon, but if someone could post Muradin's new name that would be great. He was found by other dwarves, and now goes by the name Yorg Stormheart.

Edits: Grammar, and added info on Muradin.

Комментарий от AxelF

Beacuase wowaddict1234 you are viewing a event from the past and you are in the present (u havent gone back in time) that is why they cant see you.

I was like Muridan lives! and i think in WC3 the reason why you dont see that part is you are folowing the story of Arthas thus you follow arthas and not stick around to see a body of muradan.

Комментарий от Shadowtion

If you're having trouble with completing this quest, simply do not follow Arthas when he runs outside. I end up asking general chat and stuff on how to complete it.. Then did the dialogue again, seems you only complete it until you await Muradin's return as a ghost.

Also does anyone find it a little lame that Might of Menethil (The hammer that drops from Kel'Thuzad in the old Naxxramas) of which most people thought that it was Arthas' old mace which he threw a way got renamed and has new stats? It drops in the new Naxxramas on 10 man I think. Now it seems Arthas was simply using a crappy old Grand Marshal mace.. That made me shed some tears ^^

Комментарий от 247353

The Splinter SEEMED to kill Muradin, but apparantly It Merely Made him Have Amnesia, And become lost in the Frozen Wastes, never heard from Again.

Комментарий от 230320

Well Blizzard arn't exactly changing the lore there just adding some onto the story.
Good quest for those who havn't played WC3

Комментарий от 150866

He tore his own heart out, so it's clear he's not alive. He still walks around, so he's not dead.

Комментарий от 259126

does this goes further ? i mean i know the chain end there, but does later on in another zone is there a quest chain that continue the story where we left it ? do we ever get news from muradin after that quest ?

And it most likely won't be the last.
Kinda their fault for giving the WoW Lore so much detail in the original Warcraft games; now they can barely do anything without having to worry about contradicting the Lore.

Комментарий от Yuksu93

so horde dont ever get to see this awesome scene? awww lame! i was hoping it to be a CoT quest, not a full instance just a mini quest thing

Комментарий от Squinky001

Go quest in Storm Peaks. >_>

Комментарий от Saigio

You want to do it, roll an Alliance character. You guys get an event that Allies don't

Комментарий от Hunterkllrb

In WC3 they clearly make you believe that Muradin died.
Saying now that he didn't die, is what is called changing the lore.

Комментарий от 264452

of course it goes further... the whole expansion is about this :P

Комментарий от 226428

the questline in oshu'gun is somewhat different from the "real" lore on the area etc, but it is making the lore a little bit different so that it should fit the game better. allthough both of those storyline-quests are fun:)

Комментарий от 95husum

Aw man, do i have to raise an alliance guy from lvl 1 to do this quest? well to every alliance players out there, have fun=)

Комментарий от Tuhljin

Then I guess Tolkien "changed the lore" in The Two Towers since he made you believe that Gandalf died in The Fellowship of the Ring.

Комментарий от Saldar

Roguejedi86, That is the lamest comparison ever.

And Hunterkllrb, Arthas taking up Frostmourne is one of the most historically defining moments in the history of Warcraft, long and varried as it is. There are few things that even come close to comparing that are in the game. One of those might be Medivh opening the Dark Portal for the first time, and that is available to everyone. Horde and Alliance.

I think it is a slap in the face to half their player base.

When and where has blizzard ever stated that they want players to make horde and alliance characters? Everything about this game so polarized between the factions that your statement almost seems idiotic.

And if you think for a second that Arthas taking up Frostmourne doesn't effect horde as much as it affects alliance then you really are idiotic. Now you want to argue logically on this? That is fine with me! Because if you really stop and think, then all of your arguments are contrary to good logic. Since all of this did happen while Arthas was still a prince of Lordaeron, before it's fall, then the Forsaken (who were still his people at the time of this incident), AND ARE NOW MEMBERS OF THE HORDE should be host to this quest line. Not the alliance.

Furthermore, Ner'zhul was once an incredibly powerful Orc Shaman turned warlock. He went back to being a shaman and defied the Burning Legion. When Sargaeras found out he killed Ner'zhul and cursed his spirit to eternally inhabit a suit of armor which was then frozen in Northrend. Frostmourne was a big part of that also makes this event central to the horde storyline.

In reality though I just want everyone to have access to the quest, alliance and horde alike.

Комментарий от Saldar

They didn't. Arthas' voice is different. Muradin's sounds the same though.

Комментарий от Saldar

Remember when you were level 10 and Hogger killed you, but you came back later? Yeah they contradicted the lore there. They should have left you dead.

Комментарий от Saldar

Yeah...

Hey! Remember when you were level 10? And Hogger killed you? But you came back later, didn't you? Hmm. I think the lore was contracted there. You should have stayed dead in my opinion.

Комментарий от SirusStarseeker

Actually, Illidan actually being alive doesn't really contradict the lore, yes Arthas did cut into his chest, but only scarring him and weaking him enough to save his master. It was never said he died till Burning Crusade came out, it can be implied yes, but it was never proven.

Комментарий от 112878

Very epic quest. Shows a good part of the Lore as do many other quests in Northrend.

Комментарий от 146854

Do make sure you hang around Muradin and the sparkly thing after Arthas runs off, to get the 'quest complete'. The first time I did this I chased off after Arthas and wondered why the quest wasn't complete. Muradin has a little more to say ;)

Комментарий от 146854

I'm not big on Lore. But making Frostmourne a raid drop? There are unique items, and there are unique items. I can see the day now, where every bloody warrior and rogue are running around dual-wielding Frostmourne. >_< Actually, if it means rogues become 'possessed' (and have to hand their toons over to Bliz) it might just improve the game ;)

Комментарий от Fruhauf

techincally as far as the story continues on now, Illidan was killed by us, aka black temple raid.

any thoughts on what blizzard could possibly do for another warcraft expansion? they seem to have covered the whole story line now.

Saldar, I really hope that you know inside your head, that you are e-raging over a game.

Комментарий от 284733

The story regarding Muradin picks up in a very nice quest line in the Storm Peaks.

Комментарий от 284781

Muradin eventually dies from his wounds its why magni is so depressed and constantly searching for the 3rd bronzebeard

Комментарий от 99061

Illidan doesn't die, you just put him into a coma untill the following Tuesday as with any other raid boss.

Комментарий от 234461

To be perfectly fair, nothing actually said 'Muradin died'. It could have very well been thier intention from the beginning to have him survive. I just watched the original WC3 Cinematic, and there was no solid evidence showing Muradin death. Just other characters reactions and thier belief that he died. The writers actually do a good job of keeping the lore. Occasionally, they have to retcon stuff, but, that's life.

Комментарий от Kathucka

The last two lines are a retcon.

In Warcraft III, the shards of ice encasing the sword clearly hit him and kill him. He does the whole dwarven death animation and everything.

Комментарий от 291286

You have to stay there the whole time while they talk...I didn't and had to do it again :(

Комментарий от 42243

Okay my guess: Muradin survived yes. When you are going to fight The Lich King then he suddenly will apear in the fight and do anything so you can beat him (kinda like Maeiv).

In the fight:
Mura: "HAARH!" *wound LK*
LK: "YOU! I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD!"
or something like that.

(the funny version of his comeback lol)
Mura: " ARTHAS!"
LK: "Hello Mura how are ya?"
Mura: "Im fine ty you? How's ya dad going? Where is he? Is he fine?"
LK: "Ya know he has a kinda big whole in the breast"
Mura: "Has he now eaten too much? Hehe what an old fart!"
LK: "Yeah... Well right now i think he got the mouth full of dirt"
Mura: "Aye! But how are ya dressed? You look like a tin can! And with those cold and blue eyes!"
LK: "Uuuuh.... New style... i've changed to a Goth-Knight. The blue eyes are kinda contact lences"
Mura: "aaah ok. Say ello to ya dad for me would ya?"
LK: "Yeah i have visit now. We can talk about this later. Cya"
Mura: "Cya. That boy has a heart pure as gold"

Комментарий от 264155

Something that they've left out is a frost revenant called The Guardien, just like Medivh's title. I don't know if that has anything to do with him, but still. He's the one warning them and trying to stop them from the Frostmourne.

Комментарий от 2345

No lore revision there, Gandalf the Grey did die during the timeline of The Fellowship of the Ring. Yes, he survived the fall, but as we learn in The Two Towers he died in the ensuing Battle of the Peak while casting down the Balrog. His spirit left his body on the peak of Zirakzigil, and much later he was “sent back” as Gandalf the White.

Комментарий от 350240

arthus is a human that is controlled by a sword (as in warcraft) he had to kill his friend to wield the sword and with it he is now the lich king which means he is a traitor to both horde and alliance but also is overwhelmed with power so he is not friendly to horde nor alliance so there it is he is not and orc or anything like that he is a human according to warcraft and is friendly to the plague but also is a ruler of many lands.

Комментарий от 305281

Arthas' soul was stolen by Frostmourne which made him a human without a soul. After he "returns" the blade, The Lich King, Ner'zul, uses his body as a host. Arthas doesn't even really exist anymore, he is Ner'zul in the body of Arthas. Therefore I believe that Arthas cannot be released, when Ner'zul dies (if he ever does) so will Arthas. The Lich King is simply Ner'zul, not a paladin/shaman/deathknight/human/undead/orc :P

What you don't see is Arthas then having to run around Howling Fjord for days, killing turkeys to level his Swords skill. He's been using that mace for ages!

Комментарий от RipperGand

I just noticed in the Frostmourne Cavern, if you notice the ground in the area where Frostmourne was, you can see Arthas' old weapon (At least it is the weapon he uses in the CoS, which is http://www.wowhead.com/?item=18867) and Muradin's weapons, the axe and the hammer.

EDIT: Nevermind what was written after this, I had not seen the cutscene from the beggining.

Комментарий от 368312

Don't forget to rush to kill all the Healing, Damaging, and Slowing totems while your dying!

Комментарий от 368312

To sum up the subject -
He's neither Undead or Human.
He really can't be classified because he started out as a human, never technically died but for all intents and purposes became undead, and then merged with the spirit of an undead Orc shaman.

I actually got this straight from WoW-Wiki upon searching the phrase "Frostmourne"

Frostmourne has the ability to drain life from its victims — and to drain the soul of anyone whom it connects to. The Lich King is capable of seeing through the eyes and hearing through the ears of anyone who wields Frostmourne; this ability cannot be stopped by any mortal means. The Lich King can communicate with the wielder at will telepathically, on any plane and at any distance. The Lich King uses this ability to try and corrupt the wielder over time. This has several effects. An individual who wields Frostmourne will not part with it willingly. Over time the person will go from good to neutral and finally to evil. A non-undead evil wielder will then become undead.

http://www.wowwiki.com/Frostmourne
It's under the "Curse" section towards the bottom, I know this could still be debated, but the wiki is derived directly from lore, If you want to contest this, feel free, but please research more on this before you do...

Комментарий от hordman

Arthas was never alliance and Arthas is also undead now since he is a death knight and Ner'zhul was a shaman formerly combined they were a death knight

Look at the bottom of Arthas' wowwiki page http://www.wowwiki.com/Portal:Main as you can see

Years later when Illidan had merged with the skull of Gul'dan

The Forsaken has got alot to do with Arthas, he's the one who created them(In some way), In the WC3 campaign when the Scourge(Arthas) invaded silvermoon to resurrect Kel'thuzard at the Sun well, he met the High elven Ranger General, Sylvanas Windrunner, he eventually killed her and resurrected her as a banshee. Years later when Illidan had merged with the skull of Gul'dan and had called the Naga from the sea, Illidan sat out to Destroy the Frozen Throne(Because of Kil'jaeden's promise of power), the Lich King started to weaken, causing him to loose control of his undead minions, including Sylvanas Windrunner, who broke free from the scourge along with a number of orther undeads who had regained their will, they named themselfs the Forsaken. So my point is, if Arthas had not resurrected Sylvanas she wouldent have created the Forsaken, and that way Arthas created them.

The game takes place over a period or several days not years.

/sigh i read the whole thing on wowwiki there was no ALLIANCE CRAP

It saddens me that they didn't do it exactly as in Warcraft III. I was expecting to see a chunk of ice fly into Muradin as Arthas shatters the ice around Frostmourne. Instead, you see Muradin just "die" when Arthas grabs the weapon, like if he was doing a "DOH!" when Arthas ignores what he says.
They could've put a little more effort in doing this right, since it's pretty lore-relevant.

HAH i know it all! well its true that arthas is not an undead, he is a human with no soul and a being without soul will eventually look corrupted. and to answer you questions about the arthas nerzhul thing, some of you mean that the lich king is part arthas part nezshul but no! they are a hole new guy its like a little party with Nerzhul, Arthas and a nameless guy and they all ended up killing each other and the nameless won the fight and then he eat the other 2 and that would be the Lich king! and in the Wotlk: Halls of Reflection the spirit of Uther the Lightbringer says something about the possibility that the only thing that is stopping the scorge from destroying the world of azeroth is the little good part of Arthas that is left in the lich king. and a little note of you are confused "Frostmourne" stole arthas soul when he picked up the blade his soul were still pure "in a way" when he recieved the blade and its that little part who dont want to destroy all life

Even weakened as he was, Arthas ultimately outmaneuvered Illidan and reached the Frozen Throne first. Using his runeblade, Frostmourne, Arthas shattered the Lich King's icy prison and thereby released Ner'zhul's enchanted helm and breastplate.

Arthas placed the unimaginably powerful helm on his head and became the new Lich King. Ner'zhul and Arthas' spirits fused into a single mighty being, just as Ner'zhul had always planned. Illidan and his troops were forced to flee back to Outland in disgrace, while Arthas became one of the most powerful entities the world had ever known.

Currently Arthas, the new and immortal Lich King, resides in Northrend; he is rumored to be rebuilding the citadel of Icecrown. His trusted lieutenant, Kel'Thuzad, commands the Scourge in the Plaguelands. Sylvanas and her rebel Forsaken hold only the Tirisfal Glades, a small portion of the war-torn kingdom.

actually The Lich King is more Arthas Then Ner'zhul for Arthas overpowered Ner'zhul and is now the true Lich King.

They redubbed Arthas' voice, unfortunately. Here's what the original sounds like:

I can't help but notice how much saronite is in this cave. There's even a green mist.

I Just can't shake the feeling that Yogg'saron had quite a bit of influence in this cave, and that makes me wonder whether or not he had a hand in Arthas' decision to take up Frostmourne. Also, if my memory serves, in Warcraft III Frostmourne was guarded by 'Death Revenants'. Revenants are elementals, which were formerly controlled by the Old Gods, and Yogg Saron is the Old God of Death.

That sword is devoured by the rage of the thousand souls ... It's the true weapon fulled with undead power.. i think it's good looking but don't know it looks little bit a small .. However that sword is one of the most epic Weapons which dates from Warcraft III : frozen throne... The second weapon are Ilidan's Blades .. But that is the best

make sure you don't have The Sacred and the Corrupt in your quest log when you try to do this quest or you will be sent into the instanced version of the cavern with the lich king fight.

I don't care about lore I just want to know why I can't get his hammer laying there on the floor all lonely looking. I wanna smash faces with it, even if it's no Frostmourne it still must be a good epic >_<

In regards to the quest itself -- its important that you remain at the shrine in order to complete the quest -- I made the mistake of following Arthas as he ran from the dialogue sequence in order to see if he did anything else and wasn't standing there when Muradin comes to.

The orb is still viable, however, and you can simply reuse to to start the dialogue sequence again. Once Muradin says, "Who... Who am I?" the quest completes.

Комментарий от Peter4730

EVERYTHING ABOVE IS ELITIST RUBBISH. There is not one comment on how to finish this quest, for n00bs like me. I have the orb, but how can I get down to the altar from the main cave at the same level as the cave-entrance? (Later) AARRRGGGGHHHHHHHHHH bloody Blizzard ! "battle your way to the bottom" RUBBISH, you cannot get to the bottom; a rock wall prevents it. They shoulda sed "battle yer way to the end of the first hall you enter". And even there, the altar is not obvious ! Just get to that green-glow prominence, and keep mincing around till the Orb works. Then stand still and listen to Arthas (the prique) and Muradin argue. GGGGRRRRRR

Комментарий от Zeldax

There is a long argument about if Arthas is undead or not, and so....

JUST TO SET THE FACTS:

Arthas is undead, and like most undead, his soul was taken by Frostmourn. He cut out his heart, and honestly, I never knew I could cut out my heart and still live. So, how could he still be alive and well if he has no heart? Unless Arthas has some sort of machine pumping his blood for him in his armor, kind of like Darth Vader, he can't be alive. It is quiet unlikely that he has this machine considering that the greatest gnomish and goblin engeneers have not gotten far in technology, as of today's standards (in real life).
Arthas and Nur'zhul merged into a single omega being, yes, but then Arthas killed Nur'zhul spirit in a dream after he aquired all he needed from Nur'zhul. Must I quote the book Arthas; Rise of the Lich King?

Arthas's Past?: "You understand, now. Despite all, Arthas, you have not abandoned me. There must be a reason. Arthas Menethil . . . much harm you have done, but there is goodness in you yet. If there was none . . . I would not exist, not even in your dreams. It doesn't have to be too late."

Arthas: "No, it doesn't. But it is."

Frostmourn descended. The boy cried out, his shocked, betrayed, anguished cry--that of the wind ranging outside--and for a moment Arthas saw him standing there, the blade burried in his
check almost as big as he was, and felt one final tremor of remorse as he met his own eyes.

Ner'zhul: "Yes! I knew you would make this choice. For so long you have wrestled with the last dregs of goodness, of humanity in you, but no longer. The boy held you back, and now you are free. We are one, Arthas. Together, we are the Lich King. No more Ner'zhul, no more Arthas--only this one glorious being. With my knolage, we can--"

His eyes bulged as the sword impaled him. Arthas stepped forward, plunging the glittering, hungeing Frostmourn ever deeper into the dreambeing that had once been Ner'zhul, then the Lich King, and was soon to be nothing, nothing at all. He slipped his other arm around the body, pressing his lips so close to the green ear that the gesture was almost intimate, as intimate as the act of taking a life always was and always would be.

Arthas: "No, no we. No one tells me what to do. I've got everything I need from you--now the power is mine and mine alone. Now there is only I. I am the Lich King. And I am ready."

Must I go on?
