“Forced” is a funny way of saying “Tricked into abandoning all reason and thinking he’s the greatest thing on this planet even though his mentor Uther, who’s 1000x the Paladin he is, is telling him there are other ways”
The blade being cursed does not mean he was ‘forced’ to do the acts he did. His actions were all choices, from the culling of stratholme, to asking frostmourne to take any soul (muradin) so he may possess it, to yes sieging quel’thalas to resurrect kel’thuzad.
He may have lost his soul but all he did was still by choice, not forced.
This pattern would dictate that in a few years, Tyrande will decimate someone else’s homeland, driving another character to vengeance and subsequent evil. Which I really hope doesn’t occur, cause I can only stomach this plot so many times.
Pretty much theres even a cursed blade an evil entity speaking through it only thing missing is the revival of a 2nd in command oops wait nathanos has a new body.
the Lich King, he is/was an Orc Shaman named Ner’zhul who failed the Burning Legion but was given another chance through his transformation into the Lich King. Yes, he controls Frostmourne, and through it, controls Arthas.
Read the book friend
Nerzhul’s soul/body was twisted fused into the armor and the blade which arthas took up and then became fused with nerzul.
I forget which book but arthas has a convo with nerzhul and the child embodiment of his humanity, He kills nerzhul and rips his own heart out to free himself of the last shred of humanity.
Nerzhul was silenced but not truely killed which we find out a few times in game.
Uh he was forced as someone mentioned read the dam lore dude…it’s said multiple times…ner’zhul controlled the blade/helm…
what’s more scarry in a novel…
Velen saw a vision of one possible future where a successive Lich King (which may or may not be Bolvar) rises from the Frozen Throne. This new Lich King is even more terrible than Arthas or Ner’zhul, and sweeps across the land with thousands of skeletal warriors in his wake. When the Legion returns, Azeroth is already dead and the demons laugh and play with the undead.
funny to while the legion is gone they are not dead/wiped out but likely regrowing. chances are to illidan has been turned or enslaved since hes well…mia…
add it up you could see a burning legion+lich king …let’s not forget bolvar said hes not bolvar anymore ingame and well kinda said openly he has no control of all the undead what’s that really tell? he’s a ticking time bomb . and she knows the lich king is not dead and was upset about it…and even cracked his shell of ice…something tells me she may try to waken him by force and unleash him.
she did make the comment death will serve me soon. kinda a big red flag that she knows where to go if she needs a last resort.
