Arthas brought genocide to his own wow gold people at Stratholme.
Today, we take a closer look at the sword.Frostmourne was forged by Ner'zhul, the malevolent spirit that would eventually fuse with the soul of Prince Arthas Menethil or Lordaeron. Being a hand-and-a-half sword, Frostmourne is what most would classify as a "bastard sword". Its blade glows an eerie blue, and frost clings to the edge. Brightly shining runes run from the handguard half-way down the blade. The handguard is fashioned of silver metal into the shape of a horned skull.The runeblade swords would find them enthralled by the will of the Lich King, taken by its power, as Frostmourne took Arthas. Those slain by the sword find their very life essence devoured by Frostmourne's magic, their energy used to fuel the wielder. Combined with his enchanted armor, Frostmourne transforms the Lich King into a force of destruction that few men would ever have hope of defeating.As a tool, the runeblade was pushed out of the Frozen Throne by Ner'zhul to be used in his plot to possess the body of a human host. Together with the dreadlord Mal'Ganis, Ner'zhul drove Arthas, heir to the throne of the human kingdom of Lordaeron, to his breaking point by targeting the prince's subjects with the Scourge plague. At the cusp of madness, Arthas brought genocide to his own wow gold people at Stratholme, having convinced himself that he would rather see his subjects die at his hand than to rise again as servants of the Lich King. Mal'Ganis, having brought the plague to Stratholme, fled from the city to Northrend, luring Arthas to that frozen shore.
