"No king rules forever my son, but melodies as yours will echo until the end of times"

Blizzard should’ve done the movie based on arthas’s story. It is without a doubt the best lore in the Warcraft universe. A 6 part movie franchise of the rise and fall of the live king could be the epic movies we will never see

Arthas: "Father, is it over?"
Terenas: "No, my son... the mount still hasn't dropped."

"I tell you this, for when my days have come to an end, you shall be king."


Sends chills down my spine.

[vicers]

The fact that the all music for the WoW was composed, rehearsed, played, conducted, recorded, mixed, mastered and so on... by people we will never met or know their give them a respect

The story of Arthas is the story of blizzard. Once the chosen one, on a promising path to be a great idol for others to look to, turned corrupted by a bigger force (Activision)

Edit(2021) : I remember when I made this comment, literally no one has posted this at the time and I was so confused why this of all things wasn't in the comment section. Also, hope you are all doing well- stay safe!

My son, the day you were born, the very forests of Lordaeron whispered the name Arthas.
My child, I watched with pride as you grew into a weapon of righteousness.
Remember, our line has always ruled with wisdom and strength. And I know you will show restraint when exercising your great power.
But the truest victory, my son, is stirring the hearts of your people. I tell you this, for when my days have come to an end, you shall be King.

I had goosebumbs all over my body when she started singing.
Actually all blizzard trailers or expecially the music makes my heart pound

[NickYoung]

Every time that operatic vocal comes in, I tear up. The hope that Arthas was, the good king he could have been, fallen and corrupted. There is so much power and sadness in this theme. It’s power imposing but also melancholy, the story of arthas in music.

Girl did an awesome job, her voice was perfect.

[Booster_]

Arthas:"father is it over"
Terenas:"no pandaren can be death knights now"

Я очень рад что именно сегодя 05.12.2020 года ютуб порекомендовал это видео. Мы с моим другом начинали играть в вов с лича и именно сегодня я похоронил своего друга. Чертов рак забрал его. Эта музыка успокаивет мое сердце и дает вспомнить то что мы вместе пережили на просторах азерота и в реальной жизни. Покойся с миром.

Arthas: "Father, is it over?"
Terenas: "No, my son... blizzard has no ideas left, so they sooner or later have to recycle you."

[ezrahadon]

One of the best music in gaming history. Perfect execution!
