WoW Lore; The Lich King, Arthas Menethil (Full Story)

This video gives you the full outline of the story of Arthas Menethil, later referred to as "The Lich King". It follows Arthas in Warcraft 3 and World of Warcraft from his beginnings as a Paladin and prince of Lordaeron, protecting his people, to later be over-come by the legendary sword "Frostmourne" and adhere fully to the will of the Lich King.

*Did you know?* That Arthas' reason for becoming a paladin was sought after his horse "Invincible" (knights named their horses after a trait) died. He later (as a Death-Knight) went back to his burial ground to resurrect his horse and have it as his close companion.

My favorite piece of lore ever, I love the way you took pieces from both games and the cutscenes to give the full sense of the story. Even though I've heard it a thousand times it still gives me those feels. He was never a truly evil person.

A lot of respect to the creator of this video. Putting all his time and effort in creating this very imformative video. This vid deserves a lot of likes. I highly respect the person because im not a reader :) 11/10 thank you man :)!

Once again, I am back to watch this video. I think out of every lich king tribute video, I have never found one that I love more than this one.

Blizzard should really make a few movies about their separate stories. it will probably bring more people into the franchise

[wowmanJacob]

+Julio Garcia ah yeah, sorry :s tbf this video was only really meant to be for myself and perhaps a few people who would visit this channel but now that it has become quite popular I'm annoyed that I didn't take greater care and time trying to remember and hunt down every cinematic or video related to Arthas :/

28:43 "My son. the day you were born. The very forests of Lorderon whispered the name Arthas" perhaps the whispering forests?!?

And so too, the lich king died bravely... a Hero to all.

But not only did the Lich king die... The World of Warcraft as we know it, died with him..

Sad how Blizzard had undone its greatest plot yet.

[Chad-zdvs]

That was awesome, thanks so much for putting it together. :D

[Gabzilla]

Thank you so much for this man, loved it. Man, The Lich King(Arthas) is just the coolest

[Lothern]

wowmanjacob, you are the man! Arthas story is amazing. Allthough is sad to watch a former champion of the Holy Light walking the path of corruption, its also epic! Thanks again for the video, i really enjoyed it.

[DMWolFGurL]

Well thanks for making and I please request that as long as youtube exists that you never take this movie down? I love it. It's epic!!!

[DMWolFGurL]

i still come back to this video from time to time. One of my favorite Lich King videos.

[mysterykiller]

Amazing work! You should get far far far more subscribers, this is like a full lenth movie. Great job.

[TheMankrikscow]

thanks for this video! i already knew a lot about the arthas lore, be he remains my favorite villain in the warcraft universe :) I love how you have some in game parts from the questchain in your video too, thanks for that!

[wowmanJacob]

:) Glad you liked it, Blizz really do well in making them!

[wowmanJacob]

Awr, thanks. I know it's not exactly my content or the best video in the world but I put a bit of work into recording, working out how to sequence it, what cinematics and gameplay footage I needed, taking the time to edit and upload, adding a description and creating the notepad sequencing (description). So thanks, that's made my day! :D

[wowmanJacob]

:) I'm just glad so many people are appreciating it! I agree, thanks so much to Blizz - and I would say that if they did make an Arthas movie properly (just piecing old cinematics together like me or actually going full out to make it) then I would guarantee it would be my favourite movie!
