Arthas (world of Warcraft)
About This Novel
His evil is legendary. The king of the undead, the master of the rune holy sword Frostmourne, and the enemy of all free races in the world of Azeroth. The Lich King is the embodiment of unparalleled power and extreme ruthlessness. His soul, which is even colder than Yan Bing, has been completely swallowed up by his grand plan. In this plan, he will destroy all life in the world... But he was not always like this. Before his soul merged with the orc shaman Ner'zhul, the Lich King was Arthas Menethil, prince of Lordaeron and a loyal paladin of the Silver Hand. When an undead plague threatens his beloved homeland, Arthas embarks on what is destined to be a tragic mission - to find a rune sword that can help him save his homeland. But the Holy Sword will make its new owner pay a heavy price, inducing him to fall into a terrible curse. It leads Arthas through the far north wilderness to the Frozen Throne.

The most tragic hero in World of Warcraft, bar none
Are there any connections between the books? If so, which one is the first?
Arthas - From Paladin to Lich King
Arthas is probably the most confusing character in the entire World of Warcraft. He is not a devout knight, and the Holy Light may never have been a belief for him. Unlike Uther and Fordring, Prince Arthas did not strictly abide by the order, but more followed his inner instincts - whether it was riding an invincible horse to run wild, or pursuing Jaina to explore the orc cage late at night. For the purest freedom, Arthas cut off everything that was kind, weak, and cherished about him. This may be a serious mistake, or it may be an arranged fate. In the end, the only things that stayed with him were Frostmourne and the biting cold wind of Northrend in the far north. He may have been decisive in Stratholme, but he was impulsive when he first set foot in Northrend, and he was treacherous when he began to use deceit to blame the damaged ships on the mercenaries working for him. He walked towards the darkness step by step and met his destiny. Perhaps this was the future that Ner'zhul and Medivh saw. No one can stop others from falling for themselves. But so what? Could it be that being with Jaina, being a good prince who is loved by the people, and believing in the Holy Light to guard one's own glory, must be happiness? Is it necessarily evil to become the Lich King, to achieve dictatorship for one's own ambitions, to drink power on the Frozen Throne, and to taste the most tragic pain in the world? This is not clear, just like Anthony's worry ruined Dalaran, Anthony should not be blamed. Arthas' frivolity destroyed Lordaeron, so why should Arthas be blamed? In the face of destined natural disasters, human power is too small. Arthas will be the Lich King from now on. What he will do and who he will become will be revealed later. Finally, his evil is the stuff of legend.
I have been playing World of Warcraft for 8 years, and I have always liked the plot. It is really exciting, and many details are vividly written. If you haven't heard of Warcraft, don't read it, because you won't understand it.
Others are okay, but I don't have a very good impression of Illidan in this one. He feels like a lackey of the Legion, and what's going on with his egg knife? How come one can be broken into two.
Uther was a Paladin, and Jaina was still a simple little princess at that time, because Uther and Jaina wanted to believe that there were other ways to solve the problem, and they couldn't solve it with the lives of a city, but Arthas was not only a knight of the Holy Light, but also Jaina's boyfriend, and also the prince of Lordaeron. This is the right thing to do by the ruler of a future kingdom. When I saw Jaina and Uther leaving during the mission, I didn't like these two people. Tragedy is inevitable. Even if I didn't become the Lich King, I lost the person I respected and loved most, not to mention that Jaina became the Lich King in another timeline.
Medivh's friendly appearance
I don't know if you have noticed the appearance of Medivh. Anyone who has played Warcraft 3 should know that the crow is him.
Good book, good book, everyone who has played World of Warcraft knows it
It's so Shakespearean. According to the breaking news at BlizzCon this time, I feel like Jaina is going to be a dog. After looking at the planning, I still prefer Illidan. I will march into Argus and directly help Illidan clear his name.
The story of Alsace's transformation from serving justice to becoming evil is of great educational significance. Although it is just a game book, Alsace's changes become more and more sad as I read them, but it is also an education for myself.
