World of Warcraft: The Rise of an Empire

The Titan-forged are thrown out of balance, fel energy tears through the void, and Azeroth's laws crumble!

The magical tides of the Well of Eternity surge, the Dark Portal opens onto doomsday, and demons of the Twisting Nether lurk, watching all living things!

The Dragon Soul and Frostmourne conceal deadly dangers, while the Dragon Soul carries the hope of salvation!

Only by wielding a sword and proving the Dao through battle can one protect the dawn of Azeroth!

Arthas Menethil abandons the glory of a Paladin and awakens a unique hidden class: the Lich King.

He gains the divine talent Gift of Frostmourne.

He unlocks the divine passive Scourge Pact: all damage is transferred to the undead legion.

From then on, the undead will never perish, and the throne will endure forever!

"An endless tide of corpses!"

"A host of Liches!"

"Bone dragons blotting out the sky!"

"Can the Burning Legion withstand that?"

The throne is corroded by curses, the Titan-forged are reduced to bones, and frozen Lordaeron falls amid the undead's howls.

Dragons crash down, the earth rends apart, and the shadow of the Dark Titan falls over all races.

"I sit upon the Frozen Throne, master of the cycle of life and death."

"I am the Lich King!"
