Arthas Menethil - Hero, or Villain? (Part Three)

Was his goal to save his people? Or was it vengeance? Was Arthas just following the cookie crumbs that the villains in charge were leaving for him?  Frostmourne was cursed and he knew it, but he also knew he had to stop the scourge.  Was it worth it?  Let’s find out.

• Arthas now had the Lich King in his head, rightful owner of Frostmourne.  The Lich King’s spirit was imprisoned within ice the highest point of Northrend.
• The crowd cheered as Arthas, their champion, returned to Lordaeron.
• Arthas killed his father, King Terenas, and had the undead invade the city.

• Arthas left Lordaeron and went to Invincible’s grave, the horse he used to love.
• Using his new necromantic powers, he resurrected Invincible, his old steed.
• Arthas traveled to Andorhal to dig up Kel’Thuzad’s remains.
• To resurrect Kel’Thuzad, Arthas needed a magical urn that was being kept by the Knights of the Silver Hand, Arthas’ former group of Paladins.
• Arthas found the magical urn, but it was being guarded by Uther, Arthas’ Paladin mentor and long friend.  Uther told him the urn kept the ashes of Arthas’ father. 
• Arthas killed Uther, got the urn, dumped out his father’s remains, and replaced them with Kel’Thuzads.
• Arthas traveled to Quel’Thalas in order to resurrect Kel’Thuzad.  He killed Sylvanas Windrunner, and transformed her into a banshee to help him. 
• Arthas and his undead army marched onto Silvermoon, the Night Elf capital at the time, and destroyed the city.
• Using the Sunwell, a fountain of magic, Arthas brought Kel’Thuzad back to life, reborn as an undead lich.
• Kel’Thuzad, Arthas, and their army traveled to Dalaran in order to summon the demon lord Archimonde. 
• Using a spellbook, they summoned Archimonde to Azeroth.  Archimonde had no use for Arthas or Kel’Thuzad, so they just chill for a couple monthes.
• Archimonde gets destroyed by wisps while trying to destroy the world tree.
• Arthas returned to Lordaeron to take control of the city, but his power was dwindling.  Sylvanas, her fellow banshees, and some dreadlords betrayed Arthas, forcing him to retreat from the city.
• Arthas started having painful seizures, and could feel the Lich King calling for him.
• He was told to return to Northrend, for demonic forces were working to destroy the Frozen Throne, ending the Lich King, and Arthas’ power.
