Uther's soul (thanks to the Light) split into 2 parts. The first (merciful) went to Frostmourne, and the second (wanting justice) to Shadowlands. After defeating the Lich King, the First Part forgave Arthas and stayed on Azeroth, and what happened to the Second Part you just saw.

Edit: Oh, I almost forgot. Only the First Part knows that Arthas (as LK) was keeping the Scourge from destroying Azertoth. Normally, Arthas would be brought before an Arbitrator after his death, who would decide his fate (most likely to Revendreth where he would repent for his actions). Instead, Uther stole his soul and threw him without judgment into The Maw, where Arthas would suffer for eternity. This makes Uther's act REVENGE, not JUSTICE.

I don't play WoW and even i like Arthas :D

[Tijuanabill]

A literal angel playing the role of literal devil over the shoulder. Amazing.

Arthus has always been my favorite character in warcraft. I got into WC back in wc3 and just loved his story and I also have the book about him. I'm also a huge Star Wars fan and I always compare Arthus to Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader. He kind of has a similar story and fall to darkness but unlike Anakin who's trying to save Padme from dying. He's trying to keep the citizens in his kingdom from being wiped out by a plague and is slowly corrupted throughout the journey by the people who are behind the plague just like the Emperor slowly corrupted Anakin and turned him against the Jedi.

It’s later in game where Uther talks how he regrets sending Arthas down in Maw, saying it wasn’t justice as it was vengeance that consumed him.

As Uther talks about how Arthas didn’t deserve such punishment when it wasnt his fault being controlled.

[magnushaveland]

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Arthas thirst for vengeance and justice, led to a dark path. The irony is that this part of Uthers soul seem to follow that same path, which is foreboding to say the least... The people in Bastion seem to represent to typical angel justice, blindly following ancient rules deemed the path. No one questions the laws, which leads to the hubris that make them turn a blind eye to injustice. This is the same story as with the Jedi and their fall in Star Wars. Lawful good entities often become lawful blind...

Ellie plays Warcraft 3, if you want to know more about this incredible story first-person. If you like it, can get the books for more details.

[qiancai]

So good to see you guys reaction on WOW stories!

[massey]

Seeing Larry connect the dots was great

[abdulsadek]

Her reaction at 5:51 is literally all of us just watching the cinematic

[margisama]

On one hand, you could argue that if he'd been allowed to go before the Arbiter and been judged, he might well have been sent to the Maw anyway due to the amount of people he killed/turned undead, but what Uther (at least the angry, betrayed part of him that seemed frozen at the moment of his death...whereas the part of his soul that went into Frostmourne seemed to be his noble, more forgiving half that chose to remember Arthas as the young paladin he'd been, not the monster he became) did was allow his feelings of betrayal and anger over-rule his better instincts (and even then, you see that moment of hesitation and regret when he's holding Arthas, and Devos just goads him on (ironically like the old adage of having a devil on your shoulder, only a literal angel in this case). Now, I suppose it depends on how much blame you choose to place on Arthas. He was severely flawed...he allowed his arrogance and pride (which later became an obsession for revenge) to lead him down a dark path. He knew Frostmourne was cursed when he chose to take it up but he did so anyway. We were told in questing in Wrath that Arthas was just a presence in the Lich King's mind that we're also told that it was that tiny shred of humanity left in him that caused him to hold the Scourge back from sweeping over the world. Maybe, since Kael'thas was sent to Revendreth, you could make a case that Arthas might've been sent there too if he'd been allowed to be judged since that's literally a soul's last chance at redemption before being sent on to the Maw.

[Zikko]

She looked geniuly invested in the story.

[joew]

I was waiting for yours reaction :) Ellie reactions are the best xD ! Remember this is only a half of Uther soul .... the servant of light. We probably will do a quest to merge both of them. And no... In Book Christi Golden clearly match that Arthas kill young good Arthas and Nerhzul so he suppose to one and only in control from merging. Take care.

[Bashnudel]

the Main concern with all this is not only that uther took his "vengance" but he did it without any judgement of the great archon who is supposed to be weather he is worthy of the maw or not.. they just took justice on themselves

[petrgalko]

So this trailer was absolutly epic because it finally answeared the question of what happens to the souls consummed by The Frostmourne. And Uthers soul was not split because of the light, well.. not completly, but because Frostmourne doesnt take the full soul, it splits it in half! It is done this way to preserve the balance within the Shadow Lands so that the Jailer could escape thru the Armor of Domination! So what happend to Uther is heavily implied to have happend to Sylvannas! Which would explain Sylvannases sudden madness! Part of her soul remained in The Maw and the other returned to Azeroth after making the deal with The Jailer! So every soul consumed by the Frostmourne is currently IN The Maw! Uthers, Arthases Fathers every1s!

So what will most likely happen in the future is that we will have to go deep into the Maw to save Uthers soul to make him whole again. And HOPEFULLY! In doing so, save Arthas!

One thing that I am curiouse about is that since Arthas was pretty much the vessel for the power of The Maw, doesnt that mean that Uther just threw him into his power source? I mean he was the chosen one to wear the Crown of The Lich King (Helm of Domination) so would he be a good tool for the Jailer? Or maybe a vessel for him to finally escape The Maw??

Watch "10 year aniversary league of legends : What if the storm ends? " its a fan made video based on the riot cinematics and voicelines from characters . You'll love it

[AppleBaron]

Me: So, who goes to Shadowlands? Only people or every living creature in Azeroth? And what about other planets like Argus? Do they have their own Shadowlands or what?
And where are Shadowlands even located?
Blizzard: Nah, I don't know mate, here is a blue Uther and stop bothering me with your questions.

[roky]

YES, i requested it and you delivered, thanks.

[OGEETOMO]

POGGY. You both are very entertaining and informative.

[ebrahimkhodie]

Like Larry said, That wasn't him.
