The Culling of Stratholme will be the grunt's perspective of the sixth mission in Warcraft III's Human campaign, called The Culling.

After the Prophet Medivh attempts to warn Arthas that the Scourge are undefeatable and that he must flee west to Kalimdor, Arthas turns him down in anger, never to abandon his homeland, and proceeds to the city of Stratholme, a cozy city in northern Lordaeron. When he encounters Uther Lightbringer, leader of the Knights of the Silver Hand, he orders Uther to follow him into Stratholme to cleanse the city of any plague that might infect it, lest it fall to the fate of the rest of Lordaeron. Uther challenges Arthas' authority, and Arthas relieves him; he then begins to slaughter the citizens of the city.

All this time Arthas battles Mal'ganis, a Dreadlord attempting to mold the fate of the young prince for the Dark Lord, Ner'zhul, the Lich King. Of course, when the Culling is over, Stratholme is burning in the flames and blood of its own apocalypse.

What the Infinite Dragonflight wishes to alter of Arthas' fate remains to be seen.

And *!@#$%bags.

He kinda looks like a @#$%^&bag. His face is too round.

Comment by Pennymandude

If you're healing, and you have any focusframe addon, put Arthas on focus, it helps a lot when he begins rushing after everything,
you don't quite have to heal him all the time, but you do need to pay attention to him at a lot of group pulls.
Unlike typical escorts, when he goes Leeroy and his targets die, he keeps running forward instead of leashing back from aggro point and moving ahead from there.

Arthas yells: LEEEEEROOOOOOY JENKIIIINS!

i think he means is this the deathknight arthas that destroyed the sunwell and if thats the case no, this is the paladin one the human campaign in wc3 reign of chaos. The one that destroyed the sunwell was in the scourge campaign

Comment by 150866

-Spoiler Alert!-

He actually survived and just lost his memory. The Frostborn dwarves found him and he's now Yorg Stormheart, King of the Frostborn.

Comment by Anarchy

Click him enough and he says:

'Are you looking to be...culled?'

Comment by Morthred

I don't know why the guy's comment was rated down (ok, it was kind of stupid)... but

Yes, Arthas destroyed the Sunwell (it was still Arthas, but the Deathknight version), and no, he was not being controlled by Ner'zhul, he was serving him (no soul, no guts).

He did it so he could use the well's energies to ressurect Kel'thuzad as a Lich, and in the process he destroyed half of Quel'thalas. Along with Sylvanas.

What A Very Huge Two Hand Weapon Hammer, but wait. . .
He can wield a Two Hand Weapon with his left arm wield a Book?
Its look strange for me. . .

Comment by Factsfountain

The hammer is the same model as some of the two handed versions of the grand marshal's weapon items (I can't remember the name at the moment) and he is NOT holding the book, it is hanging by a cord from his waist. I will admit, however, that that is a bit strange.

Comment by 174766

Ya really smart. I'd totally run into an area filled with a plague so I could "cleanse" it. Running into all that mess with hundreds of people infected seems to make sense to me. Let's kill all these guys so I can become a hero, give you guys no credit, and hope I dont catch the plague that's infected all these people and carry it around the world killing even more people.
Smart move Arthas.

Comment by 299362

During that time Paladins were immune to any type of disease/plague, which made them the perfect weapon against the undead, thus why he doesn't worry about running into a group of infecteds

I just want his cape, shame we can't kill him and take that... :P

Comment by n4rt0n

he's mace is the same model as 60's pvp mace :D (ally side of course ^^)

Comment by 66751

Blizz Fails here, Arthas wields his hammer like a one-handed weapon. ><

Comment by 340784

you guys can find him in Tanaris,the cavern is near the sea

Comment by 236163

Arthas in WotLK was voiced by Patrick Seitz.

Comment by 266285

Just felt like addressing the issue about Arthas' hammer (after all, it does have a Stormwind lion on it when he's the Prince of Lordaeron), it's quite likely that that's how his hammer was styled, due to the fact that he went to the Cathedral of Light in Stormwind to become a paladin.

If you want proof, go read the new Arthas book. It's all in there.

Comment by 202790

I guess Arthas does have Titans' Grip, Even as a paladin. You can notice how he swings his big 2h mace as if it's a 1h mace even when he's not dual wielding 2h weapons. Kinda strange if you ask me.

Comment by 329433

He wields his hammer 1h because the Light makes it seem lighter. Read the book.

Comment by glamscum

Arthas acually got his Hammer from Gavinrad during his cermoney for becoming a Paladin of the Silver Hand, which acually took place in Stormwind.

Comment by 166878

there is no such Item as Saurfang's tears. There is such an item as Arthas' tears. You do the math.

Comment by 390429

why dont you just kill him there so he cant be the lich king

Comment by 206320

Arthas himself gives Devotion Aura to the group. Wondering why if he aint tanker :(

/p Arthas! Retri aura instead nab!

Comment by 407398

There will come a day where this monster who killed Uther the Lightbringer will perish in the flames of hell.

Comment by 404088

OMFG that was supposed to be an Alliance Instance, holy crap! since when Arthas helps orc or tauren or even Undead? Blizzard disappointed me <_<

Comment by 65503

Anyone notice his hammer fits perfectly between the flap in his cape?

Like the handle goes into the cape and the hammer comes out the other side perfectly, not like on Players gear were it would be cutting into the cape.

Comment by 85728

kill him there no lich king?

Comment by GabrielSM

The mace that Arthas is using is the Grand Marshal's Battle Hammer, same model, texture everything. But i believe that Might of Menethil is the that he should be using but in another model ... not so necromancy like it was in the pre bc naxx drop.

edit: The idea of the libram in his waist is awesome... Blizzard shall do this in playable Paladins... maybe in 3.3 ,,, on the Q&A Pally page blizz take a note of that... this is a huge graphical improvement ... Relics , Quivers and Ammo Pouches being showed ( in the case of Quivers by others players).

Comment by 329758

"He lies quiet now, in the nothing. And there is no epitaph, no stone. Yet - his legacy flows, like a river.
Walker of barren paths, seer of light. Friend of shadows, still a carrier of light. And his legacy flows, like a river from ice. The hungry heart opens, and drinks from this fountain. So cold...
There are no promises.. In his solitary grave. There is no salvation. Only words.
But what then are these precious streams, Of coldness from the heights? They will never reach the fields below. What is this silent grave? What is greatness to the dead?
And his legacy flows, Like a river from ice. So cold..."

Arthas, king of Lordaeron. He is dead now, I fear, his mind suppressed by the will of the Lich king. Though, he is not dead, he is. The quest to save Lordaeron tore his soul in half; seeking knowledge to destroy the Scourge, but feeding from the hate of the Lich King. And now, all that he once was is gone. And his heart is ice now, he'd cry if he were not dead.
This is my Tribute to Arthas, and all that he was.

OMG QUICK KILL HIM BEFORE HE BECOMES THE LICH KING!

...WHAT ELSE ARE TIME MACHINES FOR?

Comment by BlutigeAxt

Funny thing:
Two of many anagrams for Arthas Menethil are leather man ^&*! and anal theme shirt

Comment by 545254

is really annoying

Comment by 844070

Fricking love this guy!

Comment by MiltiadesBooga

Not sure about his new VA, still. He's good, but he's not exactly Arthastastic to me.

wtb less cheap, Blizz, and getting his WCIII voice actor next time.

Comment by speedywill

Anyone Notice He hasn't got his original eyes (Meant to be Green)

Comment by Untamable

Anyone has sound text file of his yelling about following to the end of the world?

Comment by 921714

Has anyone considered that Arthas could be a reference to Arthur as in proto-celtic/germanic languages UR/AR/ER is common variant of welsh WR for MAN and ARTH meaning BEAR(animal). Arthas was one of the best - the strongest paladins of his time.

Comment by Diverdave333

I'm surprised no one has asked this yet...
Does anyone know the armor he's wearing? The chest and legs look kind of like the armor you can buy with tokens from the Black Temple; what is it, the Lightbringer's Armor?

Comment by Mormolyce

The belt buckle maketh the man.

Comment by 1126844

I would Like to find a set that looks like his armor for my ret pally, so if anyone finds something that looks a little bit close i would appreciate it if you replied to this comment.

Comment by joshhart21

I dont know why, but Arthas always reminds me of Achilles in Troy (Brad Pitt)

Comment by 1098604

Comment by Volleynova

Was pretty disappointed when I found out the original voice actor for Arthas wasn't available.
