The Story of Icecrown Citadel [Lore]

Type a description here. Something about Icecrown Citadel and how the new Hearthstone adventure had people request this video. How cool is it to see the alternate version of Jaina, sticking with her prince and taking in the powers of the frozen throne. I really do enjoy this adventure. Ow, also mention something about how you felt like you could give a spin to the lore already told, but near the end felt like it might be too similar and that by that time there was no time left to change it. Yeah that would make for a good description. I hope you'll enjoy!

Bolvar: "People must never know what happened here today" Tirion: builds memorial in Dalaran that tells exactly what happened there

[@kds6992]

maybe thats why bolvar threathens the ebon blade to unleash the scourge on azeroth if they dint help him, cause he is mad at tirion and why he wanted the deathlord to ress tiron O.o

[@masterblaster3508]

Cysia Hey Bolvar said Tirion had a grand destiny but because he built that memorial Bolvar changed his fate! He fixed the Light Hax proof until the light upgraded their systems and protected lights hope again....

[@adambarbour5862]

Gianturtlecow 😂😂😂

[@KageNoTenshi]

Since when does anyone in WARcraft does what they are told, except common units like us

[@PlaceHolderMechanic]

Doing the exact foolish opposite action. What an idiot...

[@MrTalicor]

Tirion had his own destiny to fulfill, and that destiny was to do nothing for 3 expansions then die.

[@BerryMckHawkener]

Or perhaps Bolvar wanted to become the Lich King and raise Tirion as the head of his new 4 horsemen like he wanted you to do in the DK campaign. Just speculation though, i have no facts to back it up.

[@MrTalicor]

Austin White except at the time he said that Bolvar was still in full control he hadn't placed the crown of damnation on his head yet he was still good. Also there is no way he'd know Tirion was gonna die any time soon.

[@hmthisisit]

Tbh, from the first time I watched that cinematic, I didn't feel like Bolvar's intentions were 100% pure. It was as if I could hear him saying "No Tirion, it is me who must take this 'unfortunate' position of never-ending power and the ability to rule the word. Please, I only want to do it because I love you" lol. Then, I thought about it more, and the other expansions came out in which Bolvar did nothing, so I thought "Well, I guess first impression was wrong." And then, Legion happens.

[@sunwalkeredaaga4154]

Not nothing exactly :) if you go through Western Plaguelands Tirion is doing stuff. Canonically, the Plaguelands are mostly cleansed now. In addition, he re-discovered Tyr’s tomb and thwarted the Twilight’s Hammer’s efforts to obtain Xal’atath and the Silver Hand. Before his death, he re-formed the Order of the Silver Hand. In the end, death comes for us all. But few deaths could be as consequential as Tirion’s. Our thirst to vanquish Croesus and Gul’dan gave the Nightbourne their freedom, and allowed Illidan’s plans to finally come to fruition.

If you've seen the season 7 finale of Game of Thrones and you went like: " Wait a minute, I've seen this before..." Yup. "My son, the day you were born, the very forest of Lordaeron whispered the name: Arthas..."

[@polterghost_]

There will be no one as badass as Arthas

[@lPsychoMax]

polterghost nerzhul lives and so does kelthuzard. Arthas is dead but the lich king, is very, much, ALIVE!

[@polterghost_]

Bolvar as the Lich King is not comparable. He is just block of ice. Did nothing for years. No badass weapon, no badass armor...

The Wrathgate Cinematic is still *amazing.* So many twists and turns in such a short time. Back and forth - Hope, then despair, then hope, then despair again, then suddenly *everyone* has their legs swept out from under them by the Forsaken coup. It's some good fucking writing.

Goddamnit when warriors of the horde yell ''FOR THE HORDE!'' in unison it gives me chills every single time I hear it. It's something so simple but so damn effective.

[@franbellagamba3489]

"Let them come" Chills, everytime

[@Boethion]

I think the Title was missleading, since you didn't actually cover the Citadel itself and why it is build out of Saronite (Yogg Sarons Blood) and what effects that has on everything in Icecrown. What about the exterior and interior of the Citadel? Does it have any strategic/lore meaning? This was more like "The Shortstory of the Lich King" and not "The Story of Icecrown Citadel".

[@badrinath5306]

That's a little too much of a vedio... Ur asking him to start from the Titans and the old gods y they sealed saron there and many other details coursing through history of azeroth itself.but fairly he did say that lk did the whole sarronite cause of its powers and the Peruvian architecture...

Cool video. A lot of it was a retread of the three hour Lich King video. So I am very familiar, since I watched the other video already. It is fine with me. The story of Arthas is really cool. It is interesting to see how he fell from a good paladin to a bad lich king.

Arthas got rid of Nerzul? No, There are distinct dialog where the Lich King says "I was once a shaman" Unless Arthas was training under Thrall to be the first human shaman. He also exclaims "Father is it over?" when he is defeated suggesting he was not in control.

[@madenkind]

Fuck, what a story! Since I quit playing WoW at the end of MoP I never saw that Bolvar re-entered the stage again. So cool to see this great character showed up again. I always thought that he must live a lonely (un-)life up there. Nice to know he's getting some visitors from time to time.

[@Litany_of_Fury]

The Curse of Flesh makes those those who are effected by it susceptible to the Old Gods influence but add the Curse of Undeath into the equation and the Old Gods are powerless to defeat the Mind of the Lich King. The Lich King might just be one of the strongest beings capable of fighting the Void.

[@TechnoBacon55]

Watched it after shadowlands trailer, yup, as i remembered, no mention of it ever being an anchor between life and death. Gj blizzard.

[@Trakosh]

I mean.... obviously? there's 11 years between Wotlk release and the Shadowlands annoncement. Do tell me. Do you know what exactly you're going to be doing in 11 years, or what the ramification of what you did 11 years ago would be for your current life?

[@drfate7863]

Whoever puts the helm of domination on is forever sealed inside the helm. Ner'Zhul and Arthas never died, their spirits are still trapped inside the helm but have lost the ability to command the scourge. You can hear their combined voices in Bolvar's own voice.

[@angelusumbra5741]

Drfate 786 Not true. When Arthas fell, Sylvanas felt she had done what her unlife's purpose was, and threw herself from Icecrown. She fell, and eventually struck the frozen ground, dying instantly. She thought she could finally feel the release and rest of Death, but found herself in The Void, Warcraft's version of Hell. In the darkness and pain, she heard Arthas there too...speaking in his voice as a little one...a terrified child suffering forever. Her deal with the Valkyr saves her as one of them takes her place in eternal torment. Also, there was a time after The Frozen Throne expansion from Warcraft 3, but before Wrath of the Lich King in WoW, where Arthas communes with Nerzul and a child (yet again) who was all that was left of Arthas' humanity. Arthas destroys both because he wants to share his power with no one else. Now, perhaps a REMNANT of the soul of Arthas, and perhaps a REMNANT of the soul of Nerzul, are still in the Crown that the new Lich King wears to hold back The Scourge. MAYBE. But a tiny broken piece of them isn't them, just as a torn piece of cloth is not the same as the full article of clothing they were ripped from. They are an echo, at best. Nothing more.
