Angrathar the Wrath Gate appears to connect directly to the current Icecrown Citadel via a tunnel drilled through a mountain. In Wrath of the Lich King, it seems as if the developers went with the original description from The Frozen Throne. Both Arthas and Kel'Thuzad were said to have traveled downward before ascending the spire. This could be a reference to the overall fortified nature of the throne chamber. The short story Road to Damnation doesn't make reference to the cavern or rift (although the "very peak of Icecrown" is mentioned), but instead describes the Frozen Throne as sitting inside a massive chamber inside a citadel. The novel Arthas: Rise of the Lich King implies that the throne chamber was deep inside a cavern within the Icecrown Glacier itself, which sat in the middle of a valley. The RPG described the Frozen Throne as sitting at the bottom of a rift made upon its impact. In Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, it was described and shown as lying within a frozen peak at the center of a valley in Icecrown. The exact description of the original throne chamber before its destruction has differed between sources. It should not be taken as representing official lore. This article or section includes speculation, observations or opinions possibly supported by lore or by Blizzard officials. "The Frozen Throne" came to refer to the remnants of the crystal that Arthas physically sat upon as an actual throne. Arthas donned the Helm of Domination, which contained Ner'zhul's spirit, and they merged into the new Lich King. Illidan was ultimately defeated by King Arthas, who ascended the spire and shattered the throne with Frostmourne.
Illidan led an army of blood elves (led by Prince Kael'thas) and naga (led by Lady Vashj) to Icecrown in a bid to attack the throne directly. įearing that Kil'jaeden would punish him for his failure, Illidan went to Outland, but the demon lord quickly found him and commanded that he try again.
As a result, the Lich King began losing his power daily. Though he did not succeed in destroying the throne, Illidan's spell did rupture it. The intervention of his brother Malfurion, along with his former jailer Maiev Shadowsong and Prince Kael'thas, stopped Illidan from completing his spell. Illidan and his naga summoners used the eye, combined with Dalaran's natural magical energies, to create devastating earthquakes that would tear Icecrown apart. To this end, he recovered the Eye of Sargeras and brought it to Dalaran. Illidan Stormrage was charged by Kil'jaeden with destroying the Frozen Throne. The Lich King offered them untold power in exchange for their services and loyalty, and they accepted to become death knights to his service. When they finally reached Ner'zhul's icy fortress, embittered by the trials they had to suffer through, they had become dark and brooding. From the confines of the Frozen Throne, Ner'zhul began to reach out his vast consciousness and touch the minds of Northrend's native inhabitants.”ĭuring the Third War, a small band of paladins of the Knights of the Silver Hand traveled to Northrend. The frozen crystal, warped and scarred by its violent descent, came to resemble a throne, and Ner'zhul's vengeful spirit soon stirred within it. “When Kil'jaeden cast Ner'zhul's icy cask back into the world of Azeroth, the hardened crystal streaked across the night sky and smashed into the desolate arctic continent of Northrend, burying itself deep within the Icecrown glacier.
