Beyond the crusade, part 3 - Northrend

Deep within Northrend sets the Ice Fortress of Arthas Menethil the Lich King, and by his side Frostmourne. This will undoubtedly be THE toughest encounter in the game. Or so many believe.

For those of you who aren't familiar with Arthas Menethil, Play through Warcraft 3 and it's expansion. You'll learn more then you could possibly imagine about the events that lead up to the current day Azeroth

After thousands of years of evolution, the Aqir became the Nerubians: a sinister, shadowy race of spider-men.

Empire.

Northrend also contains The Dragonblight: an enormous ice plain covered with the bones of thousands of Dragons. As they near death, the great beasts fly to Northrend so that they may die with their ancestors. The Blue Dragonflight, led by the enigmatic Malygos. Malygos watches over the Dragonblight to ensure that the remains are undisturbed. The blue dragons were successful in their task for many thousands of years, until the coming of the Lich King...
