Open Thread: The Fall of Arthas
Maybe your guild has killed Arthas, maybe you’re making steady progress in ICC or maybe your main RP toon isn’t even in a raid: The end of the Lich King is coming (if it hasn’t already happened). We’ve discussed some of this before, but not in any great detail. I believe with all the Cataclysm news (including the class changes) I think we should not forget the RP in Wrath. Arthas’ death has clear cut effects on our characters, our characters ABV and the lore. Let’s not gloss this over because of something new and shiny (and doesn’t have a release date yet).
Without further ado, I have a few questions. Feel free to answer them in the comments or ask your own.
- How did your guild handle the Death of Arthas? Did you pick a date or go by the first kill on the server?
- Where was your toon when Arthas died?
- What did your toon do/what do you plan (say 3 months or so) on doing after Arthas dies?
1) The WFRs and a few other guilds on Feathermoon decided to go with patch 3.3.5 as the day Arthas Dies. On that day, we can start discussing questions 2 and three.
2) Bricu is in ICC. I have no idea what happens yet. I’m struggling with what kind of role he plays vs the Mary Sue aspect of, “I KILLDED TEH LICHER KING! LOL!”
3) After Arthas dies, Bricu will be with other Northerners, planning a Northfolk only celebration. He’ll also be getting even with anyone who crossed the Riders while Tarquin was away.
So, answer away and ask your own questions!

Aely will have been there, but not on the front lines. She’s a healer, and will serve in that capacity. I’m not sure if I’ll write up the battle aspects or not.
After Arthas dies, she is going to make a trip back to Terrordale, to put some closure on the last fifteen (ish) years since she left. She’s not been back home, and so really has no actual knowledge of what happened to her family. (She has no visions of rebuilding Lordaeron, it’s gone and she’s building a new home with Arrens, but having some sort of closure to her family and childhood is something she’s nagging me about).
She’ll also hopefully be with those other Northfolk in celebration.
And then there’s that wedding thing!
