It is worth noting that Arthas was full of yearning for strength when he was a child. He once secretly assumed that he was an orc and a brave warrior in front of his armor. After being attracted by Muradin Bronzebeard, Arthas began to learn all kinds of fighting skills and techniques from him. In a sense, the fall of Arthas is not accidental, but directly related to the desire for strength and mission as a powerful guardian since childhood.
When Arthas met Jaina at the prayer ceremony, his whole fate changed.
Jaina is one year younger than Arthas, and her father is Admiral Daelin Proudmoore, the ruler of the famous Kurtiras. Jaina will stay in Lordaeron for a few days, and then go to Dalaran to become a mage apprentice. In these days, Arthas and Jaina have left a deep imprint on each other's hearts-their young hearts can't understand the word love, so at this time they are just simple friends. Camping in the wild secretly, avoiding the guards of the orc concentration camp and watching the orcs together, their meeting is the beginning of romance and tragedy.
As Arthas grew older, he gradually realized his historical mission. This great pressure forced him to exercise himself harder. The pain and tears of my sister being forced to marry a stranger also deeply influenced Arthas' view of love. Seeing Sal become a slave in the Colosseum, Arthas learned about the orcs, which should not be underestimated. At this time, he basically had enough understanding of his own life value. Under the influence of countless people, the prince's life goal was thus established.
A few years later, at the swearing-in ceremony of joining the Knights of silver hand, Arthas and Jaina met again, igniting the fire of love in their hearts-or, in fact, the fire of love has already been planted, just an opportunity to ignite. But anyway, they fell in love. Even though Prince Kael'thas expressed his love for Jaina halfway, Arthas and Jaina fell into the ocean of love and the abyss of pain. On that Halloween night full of bonfires and laughter, they had each other physically and mentally.
However, at the party before the Winter Curtain, Arthas and Jaina had their first argument. Arthas thought that he was not ready to marry Jaina, so he expressed his hope to be friends for the time being. This deeply hurt Jaina, but she decided to follow Arthas' advice and get along with Arthas as good friends for the time being. Arthas and Jaina both believe that this is only a temporary breakup. In the bright future, they will definitely come together and live happily ever after.
A few years later, Kel 'Thuzad made waves in the northern part of the kingdom of Lordaeron. He founded the evil doctrine spread by the so-called "curse school", blinded countless people who longed for happiness and transformed them into walking dead. Natural disasters not only hurt the people in northern Lordaeron, but also shook the foundation of the whole kingdom. In this case, Arthas had to stand up and try to stop the tragedy from getting worse. Because this is his responsibility as a prince and an opportunity.
On the other hand, due to the prophet's warning, Jaina decided to go to northern Lordaeron to investigate the truth of the plague. Arthas and Jaina meet again. After a few years apart, both of them have matured a lot and become more rational about love. Finally, on a starry night, Arthas promised Jaina that he would propose to Jaina after solving the plague in the north, and the gap finally dissipated.
It is only the plague in the north that makes the fate of Arthas fall into eternal punishment forever.
King Terenas did not give up this opportunity to help his son establish his prestige and gain respect. But he made a cautious decision, that is, let the prince help the commander-in-chief army-Wu Xianjian, the messenger of light, instead of replacing him. In real history, this practice is often adopted. The role of the young prince should be a learner. However, we must admit that modesty is a difficult virtue for a young man with lofty aspirations and noble status.
At first, Arthas was able to put himself in the right position, so he respected the Lightbringer very much. But as time went on, the arrogant prince began to find that the elders around him were so pedantic and conservative. On the other hand, the great harm that natural disasters have brought to the people of Lordaeron has also troubled Arthas. A strong sense of responsibility and historical mission made Arthas hate natural disasters. This hatred has also turned into a strong desire.
The events that influenced Arthas' life finally happened. One day, the prince and the Lightbringer received news that Stansom, a city in the kingdom, was poisoned by natural disasters, and many people suddenly lost their souls and became walking dead. Arthas was very worried, and he immediately rushed there with Wuse. However, when he arrived, everything in front of him made Arthas very angry and sad: almost overnight, everyone in Stansomli became zombies (the word was mainly influenced by Resident Evil). Looking at it now, there are still similarities between the two, which is more suitable for application. )。 Love for one's own people and hatred for natural disasters are suddenly intertwined. The prince swore to heaven: No matter how much he paid, he must eradicate the scourge all his life. Unfortunately, he finally couldn't control his anger and vented it on the villagers who were driven out of their wits. He refused to carry out the orders of the Lightbringer and led his followers to start a crazy massacre. The whole city was almost razed to the ground. Intellectually speaking, his behavior was understandable and reasonable under the circumstances at that time. But Uther, the Lightbringer, found that Arthas had a strong desire to kill. Wu Sel was furious, but because of his different status, he could not attack, so he chose to part ways with Arthas.
What Arthas couldn't accept was that Jaina also chose to leave. She thinks Alsace's practice is really unacceptable. Arthas tried to keep Jaina, but in the end Jaina also left him.
Without Uther's supervision and guidance, without Jaina's gentleness and thoughtfulness, no one can stop Arthas' strong inner desire. Through several confrontations with natural disasters, Arthas also realized the strength of the enemy. Therefore, he is determined to strengthen his strength and go to Northrend to fight against the natural disaster of the undead, regardless of his father's withdrawal order. Although the way adopted here is radical, we can still regard him as justice. After all, he is still working hard for a lofty goal of mankind. However, Northrend's number of undead exceeded Arthas' imagination, and they were surrounded. Blinded by hatred and desire, Arthas found his teacher and best friend Muradin Bronzebeard the Dwarf, and began to look for the legendary Excalibur "Frostmourne".
Muradin was also a great warrior, but he lacked insight and judgment as a military prophet. Although he also found Arthas on the verge of danger, he underestimated the terrible consequences because he trusted his friends too much. So, he became the prince's best assistant until they met Frostmourne.
Muradin Bronzebeard read the inscription on the base of the sword and learned that to get this sword, he had to pay the price of his soul, so he suggested that Arthas give up Frostmourne. However, at this time, Arthas was on the verge of collapse. Jaina's departure, the dispute with Wusur and his father's tough orders made the young prince feel desperate, so he decided to cross the rubicon and gamble his soul and everything to unlock the seal of Frostmourne at the expense of his companion's death. But what he didn't expect was that all this was actually planned by Nero Zu, the lich king, the commander of the Natural Disaster Corps. Its purpose is to guide the prince to fall and make him a pawn of the Lich King.
Arthas realized his wish and gained great strength from Frostmourne. However, Arthas, the prince of Lordaeron, was a thing of the past forever from that moment on. Instead, Arthas, a loyal servant of the Lich King and a death knight. At the moment of picking up Frostmourne, the power of the magic sword began to corrode Arthas' will, and Neruzu, the lich king, constantly passed his will to Arthas through the magic sword. While the powerful magic sword was unsealed, Muradin was instantly knocked down by the power released by the magic sword, and fell into a coma for a long time, losing his memory. (See WOW's latest expansion: Wrath of the Lich King)
Later, Arthas, the death knight, returned to Lordaeron and personally killed his father. Terenas, the king of Lordaeron, and Uther, the teacher of light in Alsace, were also killed by Alsace while escorting the ashes of the old king (with the death of Uther, the Knights of the Silver Hand also fell apart). The old king's urn was confiscated by Arthas to hold Kel 'Thuzad's body. Under the guidance of the Lich King, Arthas broke into the Qilintou School of Magic, killed antonidas, the chief wizard of Qilintou, who was also Arthas' magic teacher, and seized the Guardian's Book. Kel 'Thuzad summoned Archimonde. After the Burning Legion was defeated in Mount Hyjal, Arthas recaptured Lordaeron from the remaining Fear Lord of the Burning Legion.
However, because the frozen throne was cracked by the eye of Sargeras used by Illidan, the power of the Lich King began to lose, and the power of Arthas gradually lost. His former subordinate, Traxex Sylvanas Windrunner, gained his will. She betrayed Arthas and joined forces with several fear lords to stage a coup.
In the face of a sudden coup, Arthas successfully returned to Northrend with the help of his loyal subordinate Kel 'Thuzad. There, he got the help of crypt lord Anu Barak, a subordinate of the Lich King, crossed the spider kingdom of Ezra-Nyirabu and even reached the Gate of Wrath. At the bottom of the frozen throne, he met his sworn enemy, Illidan, the demon hunter, and fought him. After defeating Illidan, Arthas ascended the frozen throne and liberated the frozen Lich King. And put on the crown of the Lich King and become one with the Lich King.
When the leaders of the alliance and tribe realized the threat of the Lich King, they formed two armies that were still facing each other. In front of the door of anger, the two armies joined hands and launched a fierce war with the Lich King and his troops. Finally, they were forced to end, because the great pharmacist who defected from the Forgotten threw a poison that could kill all undead and creatures into the battlefield. The Lich King had to return to the frozen throne, and all the allied and tribal armies perished.
