Hello everyone and welcome to the first installment of a new series of videos I hope I can entertain you guys with between my machinima uploads. In these videos, "The What If Series," we will be tackling the difficult questions of Azeroth and playing out new scenarios that may have occurred if circumstances may have turned out differently in lore. This first episode focuses on Arthas, the Lich King, and we ask the question: What if he had won? What if the Lich King had defeated us in the events of Wrath of the Lich King?
Keep in mind that all the information in this video are my own ideas. If you'd like to share your own in the comment section below, feel free! :)

Dam we need to go back in time and kill tirion

[@FluffieXStarshine]

no... there would be Panda Death Knights. Pandas have been in the game since Warcraft 3, just never touched by the scurge and all that. So if the other forces of the world were wiped out, they would eventually be attacked and the strong turned into Death Knights like the other races werel

[@ANDELE3025]

No they werent, WC3 easter eggs and most bonus missions arent/werent canon in real Warcraft lore (e.g. maiev doesnt have Twilight Hammer/Shadow Council powers she gathered across the Tomb) and the whole bonus/Orgrimmar campaign is book bonus based instead of WC2-WC3 which were the only cases of pandas appearing (joke and brick joke continuation respective in spinoff material).

Yeah that sounds... Wait, level cap 58? And only class being death knight? Only level 58 Death Knights?

[@Shinobi_Fox]

Being a DK for all eternity would rock. you don't have to eat, sleep or die of old age or disease, also Arthas just has that level of command that makes you want to follow him.

[@treshkun6257]

Technically It was because a tiny ice was there

[@ToxicGamez]

To anyone posting comments like "Is this based off of Hellscream's idea?" First of all, it's not my idea. Both Nixx and I were inspired into uploading these types of videos from watching a couple of Star Wars youtubers who started uploading series like these. It takes a good time to make vids like these folks. Days of research, another couple of days of writing the script then recording audio and then like another week to edit and get everything ready for publishing. Nobody copied the other; it's just crazy witchcraft that we both uploaded a video like this in the same week. But having that said, looking forward to more of these videos! They're a pain in the ass to research but they're fun to make in the end!

[@annaofpie736]

ah that explanes cuz at first i start this was ur video at first so that clears up my mind of being like o.o is nixxiom copying

[@paxromana9709]

You got the idea from the "Loreguy"?

[@TheSpartan88888]

I love both you guys and this series of videos is amazing keep it up

[@LikeAbox32]

Thanks for addressing this! I was sure I wasn't the only one sitting there thinking, "I wonder if he got this idea from Hellscream." Both your video and Nixxiom's were great, and I hope to see more!

[@przemekwielgosz421]

you should team up with nixx and lets say nobbel(the lorewalker ;) ) to create one big "if" machinima, maybe take some other machinima creators, break it into parts so everyone of them can upload something to their channel linking to another channel with another part (so everyone could get the value of their subscriptions and advertisement money) let it take a couple of months or even a year, this still would be epic. Maybe what if Sylvanass would want to take Lich King's place, or something. Like for example, Wrathion would convince her that she needs to take over LK's forces to protect Azeroth from legion.

[@NixxiomOnYouTube]

As I state in the last moments of this video: I know that I didn't get to mention a TON of stuff like Deathwing returning, specific major heroes and what they would do/how they would die, etc. I didn't want the video to be too long, after all. But here's my question for you guys: Would you like videos like these to be longer? maybe 20-25 mins rather than my current 15 goal? I'm always open to feedback from you all. Let me know what you think. :)

[@daymadaym9271]

yes! nixxiom i, and many other ppl, love your content and the longer it is the more content we get, so just do as much as you able and comfortable doing! dont push yourself for our sakes, but if you can, we would love to see more content

[@Derpleton14]

I think either making them longer or dividing them into multiple episodes for more detail would be good

[@NeroViolet]

make it 2 hours or longer and i'd still watch the whole thing

[@tuvarkz9324]

Honestly, if you are bringing up a long and grueling reconquest campaign in Northrend then yes, Cataclysm's events should come up, as Cata happened at most 1-2 years after WotlK's end; including the Lich King's reactions to a new threat to the entirety of Azeroth popping up. Multiple episodes are fine, but the lack of timeframe in the general WoW timeline kind of breaks the AU buildup if LK's victory at ICC is meant to be the only difference.

[@i.m.3940]

Arthas would probably fuck Deathwing and the Legion in the butt if he had all of our heroes turned into undead. But yeah , 20 minutes will be okay. Its interesting to see what you think because those "What if" series are cool.

[@EsotericSanity]

It's kind clear after Legion(expansion) and Chronicle 3 that Arthas would have defeated any Legion invasion and eventually retaliate. Azeroth is full of so many different powers, powers that are usually at odds with each other. The Scourge would incorporate all of them efficiently and Arthas would be nearly unstoppable with the entire world as Scourge.

[@KePzez]

But quick question how does undead reproduce to bolster their numbers

[@EsotericSanity]

@@KePzez with races that surrendered to the Scourge, Arthas wasn't against letting the living join the Scourge like the Vrykul and even if unwilling, they can enslave populations and use them to produce more. Also reanimating demons, wether it be Zombies or Constructs is possible.

[@daveasher2687]

Not exactly a fan of RTS myself, but I'd still play it for the story. I'd prefer an RPG style though, of slowly taking over the world through quests. Like as a secondary scourge soldier, first with the world conquest, then Burning Legion seeing my potential and having to help dfeating the Scourge in Burning Legion's name.

[@mortarion9813]

+Dave Asher Oh ny fucking god that wouldbbe so damn good. I would love it if there were two styles: RTS and RPG style to play it. :D For fans of BOTH styles. (I realise this would be hard to make though.)

[@lPsychoMax]

SCII RapterNew Actually they tried and failed with garrisons. I expected Garrisons to be an rts "clash of clans"-like idea where you and your friends battled together or against by building and training units. I did not expect it to be an afk quest timer. I thought those quests were for learning new units via wc3 or boosting them in upgrades like in wc2. I doubt they'd do it now, due to a failure which also was supposed to be a revival of player housing. Still, would be nice if the made a minigame for it. Would add hope for them and us.

New Dungeon/Mini Raid idea. Caverns of Time, alternate timeline where Arthas revived the Player Characters into his new Champions. Go by 10 man just to make things simpler and you dont have 25+ bosses. 10 Champions, Tirin, and Arthas as a boss in raid that goes all around Northrend(Using portals similar to maybe something in Siege of Org or Dragon Soul). Have a few of the fights involve the Infinite Dragonflight and bam, awesome raid. If done right.

12:03 nope. The Legion could never invade. Arthas' scourge would destroy the Tomb of Sargeras in similar scenario like is the Broken Shore. He wouldn't care about losses. He'd send thousands, hundreds of thousands to the tomb to close it and destroy it for good.

[@mortarion9813]

True, And Nixxiom forgot... What if Arthas just raised The Legion's losses? And why not raise the losses of other races like Murlocs, Animals, etc... And also, theres the possibility that Arthas could've went to numerous areas with dead shit then raised them. And don't forget, DRAGONS and some other shit. And why not just have The Cult of the Damned raise anything else?

+SCII RapterNew Plus he can use The Corrupted Ashbringer's crystal do empower Frostmourne. If he can get powerful enough then he could possibly empower The Scourge with Demons.

[@Kestrel0907]

[@dovahbread6400]

You can't raise demon's into undeath because they're souls just go back to the twisting nether i believe and im pretty sure he did rise everything into undeath hence being the king of the world and also as Nixxiom said the Legion MADE the scourge (mainly Kil'jaeden) to weaken Azeroth and im pretty sure Kil'jaeden would just one shot everything in his path with his demon armies and just finger boop arthas once then DED

[@ANimouz]

Hmmm I kinda disagree with the idea that Arthas would lose from the Burning Legion. The player aka "Legendary defenders of Azeroth" has a very VERY specific plot point in the story of Azeroth. He is unbeatable. He is indominable. He is like the Superman of WoW. Jaina, Arthas, Tirion, Thrall... all are but peasants infront of the Player. When you consider the player, you consider him like a character with the highest PVP and PVE power and achievements. A Supreme gladiator with unrivaled 1v1 skills, an unmatched strategist and general with the rank of High Warlord only surpassed by the warchief himself, a defender and killer of Dragon Aspects, Old Gods, Demi Gods, Elemental Lords, Titan defenders and even Titans (Ra'den). It does not matter which side the Player picks. That side will ALWAYS win. The player started as a mere adventurer, someone who picked up his staff or sword for the heck of it and went out in the world. By trials and an insane amount of quests he became the absolute best for what he is. With unrivaled knowledge, experience and power. Travelling multiple worlds and continents. Faceing perils that even the leaders of factions would shiver against. The Lich King was the only smart person in the entire lore to figure this "Secret weapon" out. He knew that if he wanted to succeed against the Burning Legion and Azeroth he wanted those 20-40 super soldiers. With them on his side, he wouldn't lose. No matter what you throw at him. He knew that momentarally he was strong enough to kill them in a single strike but... eventually they would outclass him. That's why he intentionally let the Alliance and Horde get to icecrown. He could have beaten them any time he wanted, but that was not the point. The "player" was always the key. The player is currently strong enough to even destroy Sargeras and moving forward even the Void Lords which are beings higher in the power ranks than the Titans and Old Gods.

[@fidelcashflow4940]

ANimouz uh no sarg looks at us funny and we die just saying and you obviously didnt see the part where he said the champions perished in the gas plus the champions wouldnt be thenselves they would be husks of what they used to be no longer the master strategists or pvp gladiators you described them as

[@harrisonvc9175]

Wouldn’t it be amazing if this was an expansion?? With the scourge being a new playable faction with corrupted undead versions of the current classes?!

[@Skollshorties]

Illidan versus Arthas V.2. Maiev realizes the Scourge is just as bad as the legion returns and resorts to breaking Illidan's seals. Illidan faces Arthas once again as his demon hunters faces off against the death knights. Arthas would likely win but it would be bad ass.

[@johnnyscifi]

I dunno man...the demon hunters are pretty powerful. Mind you Arthas' forces would out-number Illidan's. And Illidan and co are DEMON hunters, not undead hunters...:p

[@johnnyscifi]

Im just waiting for the old gods to corrupt the Lich King. Theyve already corrupted everything else!!

[@bingbingbing1893]

lol "arthas would win but would still be badass" i agree

[@bingbingbing1893]

just imagine a full scourge planet vs the legion

[@ContemporaryCompendium]

+Jesse Perez That's true but while Arthas would have a whole planet full of undead, the Legion have multiple planets full of demons. The real question for me though, would be if Arthas could raise the slain demons as undead. If he could, that would be one hell of a defense he could put up!

[@bluebeans3951]

Goosh another amazing video, but there's a thing I'd like to mention. I think the Dragon Aspects would make a move after seeing the Scourge's vast expanse and the newfound power that entered Arthas' army (the ''champions'' & Fordring) and they'd try to put on a big fight and maybe ultimately win? Keep up the great work

[@pauliusgaidelis4547]

cool story, bro. Really. nice video.

[@OrkarIsberEstar]

I diagree on the final conlcusion. The scourge is the perfect weapon to battle the burning legion. Its biggest strength is that demons dont die when destroyed they just go back to argus and reincarnate. The scourge can not only truly kill a demon by absorbing or shackling its soul once the body is destroyed, but by turning the very body into scourge, pitting the legions armies against itself, so while the legions ranks deplete, the scourge grows. Furter one if the biggest weapons the legion has is that its soldiers deem themselves immortal, once they know they can die they are a lot less...eager to fight, also manipulation tactics and fear dont work against the undead. You also forget about saronite armor - the legions best can wear it, making them IMMUNE to magic, mind control and highly resistant to physical damage. Nerzuhl was sure the scourge can take on the Burning Legion and it was establised in WC3 that indeed, the scourge could become powerfull enough to stop the legion and possily the old gods given, again, the old gods strongest tool is manpulation, fear and madness to which the scourge is immune. And good luck leeching life and light out of undead as well

Such a good video!

[@joshstephen895]

I was sceptical about this vid but it was actually really cool idea and well thought out. I especially liked the of Sylvanas rigging the Undercity and can definitely see her doing it

[@brightestlight9462]

If the Lich King had that many souls, then he would DEFINITELY be able to go 1v1 with Kiljeadan.

@@juliendauvel2741 Would have been Deathwing (and his Old God masters) vs the Legion.

[@Coldheat84]

They did a bullshit alternative timeline expansion called WoD, they could totally do a "What if LK won?" Expansion!!! I think it is a terrific idea, all players Horde/Alliance would be united under one faction, THE SCOURGE and fight the LEGION. I think this is a much better expansion than the one we are getting soon... Holy

[@andrewlong9799]

Only issue is that the Legion created the scourge, which means they have a pretty good chance of just taking over the scourge. Not to mention Sargarus, and Kil'jaden are insanely powerful.

[@MMOplayeerr]

Well, lets say the 25 heroes dont die, also, If Arthas conquers whole Azeroth he gets some other good heroes, with them He defeats the deathwing, who becomes his servant and/or Arthas gets corrupted by old gods, also conquering the world, he may have got so many souls that he became so strong that kil jaden cant overpower him anymore. With deathwing, old god magic and the champions of Azeroth, He would easly destroy the legion expect for Sargaeras who never ever even fckin comes.

[@ANDELE3025]

Legion didnt create the Scourge, LK/Ner'zhul did as a plan to fuck over the annoying red crossdressing pony princess who put him in a block of ice under the pretense of serving them. Thats like 35% of the WC3 scourge campaign plot ffsf or did everyone forget that retcons dont work in media due to death of the author clause?

[@angelgrozd]

well they could have made an alternative timeline if the lich king had won

[@Dontreallycare5]

They could still do that - in any timeline which the Lich King won he would eventually consume the Bronze Dragon flight and begin to leverage their power to transcend timelines and universes the same way that the Legion via Sargeras does such. After all, the Bronze Dragon flight is destined to become tainted by the Old Gods inevitably regardless according to Nozdormu himself so long as he falls into madness at the thought of his own mortality. Frankly, the best way to usurp that from happening is to curse him with undeath and put him under the Lich King [whichever version for that matter] since it will stop time from being ripped apart. A being of pure death, as the LK is, wouldn't want the inevitable march of time being disrupted so would, regardless of other desires, keep the time stream at least somewhat cogent.

[@sidcada6071]

It's pretty interesting to hear your talk about how Sylvanas would use the plague to destroy Lordaeron after losing. Just like how things have play out in Battle for Azeroth.

[@Maastickore]

Loved your version of Sylvanas final stand, it really sounds like her!

[@viginza]

Just saying, but did you just directly take Hellscreams idea? I mean he posted a video with the exact same concept like 4 days ago. It was also titled ''What if''. I dont mean to judge you but still, if you did atleast give the man some credit

[@NixxiomOnYouTube]

Nah, I've been talking about this new What If video series idea for awhile now on my stream and to my friends. It's just a coincidence that Hellscream had a similar idea. Personally I've never seen any of his content before, but we did talk yesterday on my stream, and afterwords, about how we had the exact same idea and, funnilly enough, we both got the idea to do these from watching Star Wars KZbinr's in our free time. Was good talking to him. Maybe him and I can do something together in the near future. :)

[@hicksnumber89]

If you'd have read his previous comment, he stated he got the idea from watching star wars youtubers in his free time. No need to be getting all huffy puffy tryin to blow his house down. Chill

[@dan7564]

I'm also curious, did he also forget to factor in., pandaria? I'd love to see a second video where you factor in the other expansions.

[@rudymusicfan]

+Alucard Pandaria would've never been discovered and garrosh would've died in northrend thus making alternate draenor never interfere with our time line. as for legion invading there's no one powerful enough to break the seal on the tomb of sageras without alternate draenor gul'dan and so with no one to create a portal for the legion to starting coming through the invasion wouldn't be possible

[@vellor9145]

yes i was thinking the same thing

[@AmazonianBarbarian]

[@deadfullyawesome]

Very well done.

[@kriger619]

While I did enjoy this video and the scenarios you laid out for how the Lich King would go about his counter force. I do feel like I have to mention in the event no one else has that the Lich King DID win. He won, he killed the raid and Tirion was helpless. It was literal again LITERAL divine intervention that he ultimately lost. But again, I did enjoy the video. Well done mate.

[@tomleonard5801]

Even if 25 people + Fordring were reanimated I don't think they would have taken that much ground, I guess it could be possible though remember we still have Thrall, Varian, Saurfang and various other greats. Plus Arthas would have had to deal with the Twilight and Deathwing. Personally I think it would be cool if we saw the return of the lich king (bolvar fordragon) not only come back but support us in the fight against the Legion this expac.Even so, great video, keep it up! :D

[@revanruler6404]

he does the dk become the lk's champions in legion

[@ZulatobariGreatforge]

Don't forget that Bolvar would have been corrupted, Kel'Thuzad would've been brought back, but we do have Muradin, Falstad, and Moira :P.

[@tomleonard5801]

Zulatobari Greatforge ah true

[@Shinobi_Fox]

Arthas killed and raised Sapphiron of the blue dragonflight without effort and that was when he was weakened and still an agent of the lich king, I'm sure he would have wasted the Twilight and the rest of Deathwings dragonflight. Deathwing might have been an issue to kill though but he might have had some sort of alliance with Arthas considering they both had designs which involved destroying all life on Azeroth. Worst comes to worst the Scourge could have just killed DW using the plague or an army of Frost Wyrms.

[@ZulatobariGreatforge]

Oh yea! Lets not forget that he'd prob. kill the Dragonflights after raising Galakrond! (Or whatever that HUUUUUUUUGE Protodrake was named who was buried near the Wyrmrest Temple!

[@Soraptor]

I would like to imagine that after the Lich King conquered Azeroth, he would find a way to invade other worlds to grow his undead army. After capturing so many worlds, Frostmourne would grow so powerful, that he may stand a chance against the Burning Legion.

[@messler5636]

Damm this is EPIC!

[@thedude5641]

Good stuff! I like to think that the Scourge would have the advantage against the Legion of being like a hive-mind. The only real disadvantage being you can't really raise demons into undeath...but, at this point their forces would be so vast it would be difficult for the Legion to even gain a foothold before being washed over by every living thing in Azeroth. Unless, of course, the Legion could wrest control over parts of the scourge from the Lich King, I don't think they'd stand a chance. Probably, the Old Gods might have even welcomed the Scourge, due to their similar goals. Maybe the Lich King might have become a sort of Old God himself...maybe that is still his goal (?!) Old Gods and the Scourge would have been pretty tough for the Legion to beat if they were in cahoots.

[@degiguess]

what about the old gods? surely at some point in this timeline they would be free since with the death of the horde/alliance/etc. there woul be nobody left to keep them from freeing themselves just imagine how amazing the battle between the legion and old gods would be

[@ceiferthegamer]

the old gods were mainly a issue because of the planet was filled with mortals. those under the lich king's control were all but immune to the effects of old god whispers, the nightmare, and just about everything else. so the main power of the old gods would be nothing against the scourge. deathwing would fall against the other four aspects after being reanimated and the power of the scourge. would be one hell of a fight though.

[@whywouldyoucare239]

+The Mirage Well remember how he wanted to reanimate galakrond into a giant and the most powerful frost wyrm? took 5 and also alot more combined forces of the dragonflights to bring down gala. imagine only one vs an empowered galakrond as frost wyrm. correct me if im wrong but i think this is why arthas set off his agents to reanimate galakrond. as the main weapon vs deathwing and also other dragonflights. and as for the old gods? he witnesed how these 25 heroes brought down yogg saron. imagine 25 empowered. the remaining old god influences would be not much of a problem. i think the lich king had a big plan under sleeve if he succeeded in claiming these 25 heroes for himself. including tirion and after him bolvar. after it tho.. another plan i believe would be made to withstand the legion. but just think all the lives he would empower after death: thrall, tyrande, garrosh, varian, vol'jin, malfurion and also discovering what lies beneath the broken isles as he would seek ways to defend and/or defeat or pushback the legion and every contact it has with azeroth. the lich king i believe had it all planned. but he couldnt predict the future in the way that tirion would manage to break free and shatter frostmourne in a single blow.

[@whywouldyoucare239]

+ceiferthegamer Cant they just escape arthas? lets say.. refuge at caverns of time? after all arthas already had chosen his mightiest frost wyrm after sindragosa. galakrond.

[@ceiferthegamer]

Adi Stefani the bronze would not let them near the cavern. they will protect it above all. to the point were they would likely abandon everyone else and bury the cavern. the old gods also cant go there since they are trapped. the cathraxi maybe but they would have a hard time getting past the bronze and maybe even the infinites. the infinites may have been made by the old gods, maybe, but they dont serve them so they may help the bronze fight against a common foe.

[@whywouldyoucare239]

+ceiferthegamer Indeed. though since we are "what if"-ing then i supposed desperate times would require desperate measures to survive and convince them. but since caverns is a no go for certain then the tolviron at uldum. or maybe an accidental rediscovery of pandaria as was accidentally rediscovered and seek refuge there. just any means to go as far from northrend and eastern kingdoms as possible.
