Sylvanas should resurrect Arthas

At this point I’m ready for the story to Lightforge Arthas, who proceeds to simply draw his sword, level it at Sylvanas and smirk saying. “Checkmate”, as she can’t help but power-slide into Lightmourne.

But can Arthas kill Nathanos?
Really any story contrivance to make that happen would be good.

Maybe when he comes back he’ll be undead again and not some wacky red eyed human.

Dock hand: “Sir, Ship is attempting to set sail. Shall I let it go?”
Me: “Wont have enough fire to burn that ship down…let it pass, its not the worst one we have come across yet.”
Dock Hand: “really? do I want to know the worst one?”
Me: “Just wait until you get to the multi dimensional cross overs…some ships can sail well… others not so much.”

You mean wrath of the lich king plot again? Arthas has no power anymore, he’s not the LK. He would just be a forsaken paladin.

Stop snorting glitter.

Uh… The PC Death Knights sort have already claimed his soul. He could still be resurrected but he would only be a mindless husk.

“No King stays dead forever, my son.”

“Don’t you have ghost bingo or something else to do, Dad?”

Yeah the writers messed her up big time :confused: rip

Arthas died before Blizzard ruined his character. Let him keep his legacy.

Also Arthas has already moved on. There is no soul left to bring back.

Even if there was, why would you? The only interesting thing about Arthas was that he was a fallen paladin who was corrupted by his desire to destroy the undead threat and then became the Lich King. All of Arthas’s power as a DK came from Frostmourne. As a paladin he was only second rate. Outside of his role as the Lich King and the fallen paladin he’s a pretty boring character with nothing really going on in his life. I guess he had an on again off again relationship with Jaina but that’s really about it. WIthout filling the role of Lich King he simply isn’t an interesting character. And at the end of WotLK he ceases being the Lich King and is returned to being Arthas where he is forgiven for his crimes by his dead dad.

What I really want to do is turn ICC into the new DK headquarters. We’ll just toss the Joe Nobody currently sitting on the throne for no reason off the top of the tower like we should have done in the first place when we completely destroyed the Scourge the first time we went to Northrend.

I also want to agree with Torvald for pointing out that Blizzard had already started undermining the Lich King in WotLK. By the time we got to ICC the Lich King and the Scourge were a nonthreat as we had killed the Scourge off and completely foiled all of the Lich King’s plans everywhere else in Northrend. The devs then betrayed the players by completely nullifying the players’ accomplishments by letting Arthas go scott free and putting a new butt on the frozen throne even though we killed all the bad guys. The devs really rubbed it in by having the new butt belong to a guy who is now covered in flames instead of ice because bad artists believe that being subversive for the sake of being subversive is being a good artist. Having a new butt in the chair makes no sense to begin with, having that new butt be covered in flames makes even less than no sense.

Golden is that you?

Umm, sorry if you missed some important bits of lore, but Arthas is the reason why Sylvannas is a murderous psychopath. She hates him more than anything since he killed her and destroyed her homeland, and then denied her the peace of death… She even tried to kill him, and would have succeeded if not for wanting to torture him first and Kel’Thuzad saving him… Sylvannas wants to kill people now because she is jealous of the living. Arthas killed people because he didn’t want anyone else to leave or betray him.

TLDR: Sylvannas has no reason to raise Arthas (not the means to), and Arthas would have no reason to work with her.

I don’t care if you ignore Sylvannas’ story and character, but please refrain from throwing Arthas into that dumpster fire…

Gotta admit, this would be the ultimate pimp move.

This was also in the South Korean Wow Machinima. :3

So, we had our “fellowship” already, when the Alliance and Horde worked together-ish in Draenor. Then we had our “couple of towers” with the Nightwell and the Tomb of Sargeras.

I guess it is time for “Hey, the King’s back!” with Arthas reforging the broken Frostmourne and taking his kingdom back…

She lacks the means but he being raised isn’t above her, after all she could kill him again whenever she liked, besides she needs commanders that are capable of actually carrying on plans, Nathanos and Saurfang sucked hard on that role.

Also he knows how to make new Val’kyrs and probably still has some powers from being a Death Knight, after all he was capable of raising dragons like Sapphiron even at his weakened state.

Why would you want to resurrect the only interesting lore character that Blizzard did well and butcher him with Idiocy?

That wasn’t my point, even if she is able to raise him, she would not be able to bend his will to her own. He would be his own entity again, and be more powerful than her, even if some of his power was transferred to Bolvar. Plus, like I said, they have different motives and different goals. Sylvannas doesn’t want to get thrown back into whatever hell she saw, and Arthas welcomed its cold embrace. Only ever once that I can think of did Arthas ever say that he wasn’t going to die, when he fought and killed Uther, Uther told him, I hope there’s a special place in hell waiting for you Arthas. And Arthas replied, We May never know, I intend to live forever.

But regardless, even if he was brought back to life, they would not work together because the fact that they still would hate each other. Sylvannas hated him so much that she killed herself after the alliance and horde killed Arthas, threw herself off of Icecrown. Arthas hates her so much that he denied her the peace of death and kept her soul present to serve him, rather than just reanimating her body and using it as cannon fodder.
