Dialogue[edit | edit source]

Before match

Uther Lightbringer (present)
▶️I was right. The orcs weren't a threat to us - something far worse was rising.
▶️It began when Jaina Proudmoore warned me that Arthas was under attack in the village of Hearthglen.
▶️I rushed to help him. What else could I do?

Introduction

Uther Lightbringer
▶️For Lordaeron! For the king!
Prince Arthas
▶️Uther, your timing couldn't have been better.
Uther Lightbringer
▶️Don't celebrate yet, son. This battle is far from over!

Emote Response

Venim Iceblade
▶️I see.

Hero Power

Venim Iceblade
▶️One by one, they turn.
▶️All submit sooner or later.
▶️Mal'Ganis is watching...

Idle

Venim Iceblade
▶️You mustn't bother killing me. I've already been through that!
▶️The master has great plans for young Arthas.
▶️We've infected all of the grain. There is no hope for you.

Turn 1

Venim Iceblade
▶️You will freeze together!

Turn 4

Uther Lightbringer
▶️What are these abominations?
Prince Arthas
▶️The Scourge. They started this plague by infecting the villagers' grain. And all who perish join them.
Uther Lightbringer
▶️We knew people were getting sick, but not the cause...

Turn 7

Uther Lightbringer
▶️I'm surprised that you kept things together as long as you did.
Prince Arthas
▶️Look, I did the best I could, Uther!
Uther Lightbringer
▶️Now is not the time to be choking on pride! What we face here is only the beginning.

Death

Prince Arthas
▶️We should strike at their leader! I'll go to Stratholme and kill Mal'Ganis myself if I have to!
Uther Lightbringer
▶️Easy, lad. Brave as you are, you can't hope to defeat him all by yourself.
Prince Arthas
▶️I'm going. With or without you.

Defeat

Venim Iceblade
▶️Curious... he perished sooner than the master planned.

Lore[edit | edit source]

Warcraft Wiki icon.pngThis section uses content from the Warcraft Wiki.
Venim Iceblade was a lich that fought during The Scourge of Lordaeron against the Alliance. Celebrated for a short time as a hero of the Scourge, his courage and skill in battle was only matched by his unconventional strategies, such as using Caravans in battle and surprise, overwhelming tactics.
Venim Iceblade was the leader of a purple Undead Scourge base located near Hearthglen. One night he and Calis Wraithson decided to attack Hearthglen and all the nearby villages. They sent an Undead Caravan to the villages and undeads against Hearthglen. A devoted follower of the Cult of the Damned and one of the first to become a Lich, Venim began an aggressive campaign of Scourge domination with his ally and friend Calis Wraithson, eclipsing in their attack on Hearthglen.
His powers of Necromancy were legendary, and he summoned many great skeleton and horrors terrifying many of the defenders of Hearthglen even before they attacked. He was confident in the Scourge's ability to destroy life and took great joy in unleashing them en masse with the intent of surprising or overwhelming the paltry human reistance.
As Arthas and  Jaina Proudmoore were investigating rumors of plague, they were attacked again and again by the forces of the Scourge posing as the personal army of the dreadlord Mal'Ganis.  Kel'Thuzad helped play the part by telling Arthas that it was Mal'Ganis himself and not the Lich King behind the plague. Each attack, each town destroyed hit at Arthas' weakness, his pride. Arthas began to take his inability to protect his people from the Scourge personally, and soon became obsessed with killing the dreadlord.
Meanwhile in Hearthglen Arthas arrived and killed the infected villagers, and then prepared the defense of the city. The time taken to destroy Hearthglen was frustrating Venim, who attacked from the north into the Town Centre, despite his powers and skill, he was struck down at the end of the battle and killed along his forces by  Arthas Menethil, Uther the Lightbringer, the city defenders and the Knights of the Silver Hand.
