Arthas Menethil (Canon, Warcraft)/Malkuth8

“	My son, the day you were born, the very forests of Lordaeron whispered the name Arthas. My child, I watched with pride as you grew into a weapon of righteousness. Remember, our line has always ruled with wisdom and strength. And I know you will show restraint when exercising your great power. But the truest victory, my son, is stirring the hearts of your people. I tell you this, for when my days have come to an end, you shall be King.	„
	~ King Terenas Menethil II

“	Citizens of Silvermoon! I have given you ample opportunities to surrender, but you have stubbornly refused! Know that today, your entire race and your ancient heritage will end! Death itself has come to claim the high home of the elves!	„
	~ Death Knight Arthas

“	You speak of justice? Of cowardice? I will show you the justice of the grave and the true meaning of fear!	„
	~ The Lich King

Summary[]

Arthas Menethil, or the Lich King, is the fallen prince of Lordaeron and now Jailer of the Damned. Arthas, determined to stop the Plague of Undeath spreading throughout Lordaeron, would venture to Northrend to hunt down Mal'ganis after Arthas’ pivotal culling of Stratholme. There he took up the cursed mourneblade Frostmourne which consumed his soul which led to him becoming a Death Knight and serving the first Lich King, Ner'zhul. He would then return to Lordaeron and slay his father, eventually leading the Scourge in the destruction of Lordaeron, Quel'thalas and Dalaran after which he would make his way to the Frozen Throne in Northrend. There he would merge with Ner'zhul to become a godlike being and one of the most powerful entities Azeroth had ever known, the Lich King. After his ascension to becoming the Lich King he would go to war with Ner'zhul for control, this resulted in him overwhelming the orc's spirit and tearing apart the mind of Ner'zhul leaving Ner’zhul as nothing but a wail of sorrow in the back of the Lich King’s consciousness. Thus leading to him assuming complete control over his physical body and the Lich King's overwhelming might. He soon had his strategy in place. He knew it would not be enough to conquer the world through sheer force as many others had tried and failed. To control Azeroth he would enslave the strongest creatures within it, the great champions who had arisen within the Alliance and Horde. Once they were under his will, the rest of the world would fall in a war of attrition. After this he would have raised the greatest fighting force Azeroth had known into undeath resulting in him being able to fight any threat to Azeroth with notable examples being the demons of the Burning Legion or the powers of the Void. From then on he had unleashed his wrath upon the world culminating in the climactic final battle atop Icecrown Citadel. Despite everything going to plan and with him seemingly having won after slaughtering the champions and trapping Tirion in a block of ice, Tirion managed to break free of his icy prison with a blessing from the Light and destroy Frostmourne with the Ashbringer releasing all the souls trapped within in the mourneblade leaving the Lich King defenceless and fatally wounded. In his dying moments, Arthas felt the corruption of the Frozen Throne fading away from him and he was faced with the enormity of his crimes. He slipped into death, into a cold and unforgiving afterlife of darkness.

Classification: Lich King, Undead, Death Knight, Prince of Lordaeron (formerly), Human (formerly), Paladin (formerly)

Powers and Abilities:

Immortality (Types: 1, 2, 3, 6, 7 and 8; Arthas can promise other beings Type 1 immortality^[1]^[2] so he should have it himself. After his fight with Illidan he realised he was still human and still had a heart, so he rid himself of it, casting it down a pit in Icecrown^[3] which should grant Type 2. He should have Type 3 due to his regenerative capabilities. He can transfer his soul to another being due to the Helm of Domination^[4] granting Type 6. He is also an undead granting him Type 7 and therefore should also have eternal life and be highly resilient bolstering Types 1 and 2. Lastly it is stated by Uther that the only way to kill him is to destroy him atop Icecrown Citadel at the Frozen Throne where he merged with Ner’zhul^[5] which would grant Type 8), Regeneration (Likely Mid-High, Possibly Low-Godly; Dar’khan Drathir is able to regenerate his body and return in The Burning Crusade which was turned to ash by the power of the Sunwell in the Sunwell Trilogy^[6]. Arthas is a far superior undead compared to the likes of Dar’khan and should have the ability to regenerate his own body from ash since he can bestow that ability upon Dar’khan. It is possible that Arthas' title of the Lich King isn’t just a title and is literal meaning he is in fact a lich, or at least lich-like in terms of regenerative capabilities and not so much appearance. This is because Frostmourne may serve as a phylactery for him due to it containing his soul. It is even stated by Uther that Arthas is able to see what the sword sees implying some sort of a link between them^[5]. This idea would explain why he only ends up dying after Frostmourne is destroyed with destroying a phylactery being the prerequisite for destroying a lich. This would mean he has the ability to regenerate his physical body as long as Frostmourne (a.k.a. his phylactery) is still intact as this is a fundamental trait for liches and their phylacteries), Negation, Power Nullification, Resistance Negation, Law Manipulation, Reality Warping, Logic Manipulation, Morality Manipulation, Mind Manipulation, Mind Control, Fate Manipulation & possibly Conceptual Manipulation (Frostmourne is the finest mourneblade made by the Primus^[7]. Mourneblades are Runeblades emblazoned with runes of Domination^[8] which is a brand of powerful runic Death magic whose sole purpose is the utter suppression of another being^[8]. This magic is so powerful that it interferes with a creature’s very understanding of itself and is almost impossible to resist^[9]. Frostmourne in particular holds the power of the realm of the Maw itself with it further being stated by Jaina that Frostmourne’s type of magic, Domination, is woven into the very fabric of the Maw and Torghast^[10]. It is further stated that the laws that bind the Shadowlands are meaningless within the Maw and that reality is ever changing within it^[11] which should give Domination power over the laws of the Shadowlands and the ability to change reality as Domination is woven into the fabric of the realm. Furthermore, Torghast’s interior is stated to defy traditional logic^[12] with Domination, as mentioned before, being woven into the very fabric of Torghast. This would entail Domination would as well defy traditional logic and can be used to create structures that defy logic. Anduin, when corrupted by the Domination used by the remnant of Arthas’ soul in Kingsmourne, was forced to do acts he would otherwise consider immoral, even making him feel like he actually enjoyed it^[13]. His power and attunement to the light was also completely negated and nullified while under its affects making him unable to use his usual abilities with him struggling to call upon the light even several years after this event and being freed from the Domination that binded his soul. Domination runes have also been shown to be able to be used to manipulate fate and destiny. The Loom of Fates which is lined with Domination runes is used by Fatescribe Roh-Kalo to realign fate in his own favour, resulting in him being able to unceremoniously cause the deaths of his opponents. He can also use it to reduce damage taken by 99%. He can also twist fate itself into a weapon to exploit weaknesses and attack^[14]. Arthas should have these abilities as he's shown to be able to use Domination to his own gain and has been shown to see visions of destiny showing he also has access to the fate manipulation part of Domination^[4]. It is also possible that Domination is conceptual, the Maw is described as being the embodiment of misery^[8]. with it also existing beyond the concepts of distance and time. As such, the Maw and by extension Domination may be conceptual in nature. Lastly, it is worth noting Domination was made by the Primus and is considered the most powerful runic language he had ever created. It was even used to bind the Jailer himself who was the strongest among the Eternal Ones. This means he is extremely adept at Domination and Frostmourne as well as the Helm of Domination were described by the Jailer to be the Primus’ grandest design^[7], which should also include the Domination runes used against the Jailer himself, meaning it should be strong enough to even work on Pantheon level characters with the Jailer being stated to be the strongest member of the Pantheon of Death), Chaos Manipulation, Soul Manipulation, Existence Erasure, Astroremkinesis, Life Manipulation, Durability Negation & Resistance Negation (Frostmourne in Warcraft III deals Chaos damage. Chaos magic, which is more commonly known as Fel magic, is described as being a manifestation of Disorder which governs the cosmic systems of the physical universe^[15]. When being infused with Fel magic, Sargeras’ very soul was seared^[15] with him later using an apocalyptic Fel storm to consume the body and souls of the Titans^[15]. Fel magic is fueled by drawing life from living beings. Chaos damage guarantees that damage done will not be mitigated by any armour, resistances or school-specific effects the target might possess though complete invulnerability can mitigate Chaos damage), Death Manipulation, Resistance Negation & One Hit Kill (Can extinguish someone’s life instantly with Wrath of the Lich King which can’t be dodged, blocked or parried, cannot miss, cannot be reflected and bypasses invulnerability/immunity, can instantly kill someone with Lich King’s Fury which also bypasses invulnerability/immunity, and instantly kills Sylvanas and turns her into a Banshee and kills the flowers around her from the after-effect of the attack), Soul Manipulation & Negation (It is stated that just as Frostmourne rends flesh so too does it rend the soul^[16]. Arthas can also use Frostmourne to rip the souls out of people's bodies and make the soul fight his opponents. He can also harvest the souls of all nearby enemies with Harvest Souls and can bind souls to his will), BFR (Frostmourne holds the ability to shatter souls leaving part of it to continue its journey to the afterlives of the Shadowlands. Another half of it is then trapped within Frostmourne where it then ends up in the Maw and is frozen in time^[13]. The Maw is described as the embodiment of misery, a bleak, painful eternity that awaits the wretched mortal souls sentenced to its inescapable embrace^[8].. A soul is not complete until both these halves are reunited which cannot be done unless you can travel to and then escape the Maw. This was the case with Uther who needed the aid of the Maw Walker (one who is able to escape the Maw) to travel to Torghast to retrieve his soul^[17]), Acausality (Type 5; Arthas exists as a godlike being relative to that of the Titans^[18] who are transcendent beings that exist beyond the worlds in the Great Dark Beyond^[19]. This would mean they transcend a place on Azeroth like the Timeless Isles with it being stated by Kairozdormu, a dragon from the Bronze Dragonflight who exists outside of time, that cause and effect is rendered all but meaningless on the Isle^[20]. From this we can gather that Arthas is an existence on the level of the Titans and should exist beyond places that are beyond cause and effect granting him acausality of this type), Invulnerability (Nigh-Invulnerability; Saronite is nearly indestructible and incredibly resistant to many forms of magic. It has also shown the ability to regenerate from attacks that do manage to pierce it. Arthas is equipped with Saronite armour^[4]^[21]^[22]^[23]^[24]), Indomitable Will, Willpower Manipulation & Body Puppetry (Is stated to have an iron will that he is able to make use of to bind others to his will and can have control over the body and will of others. He is also able to bind souls to his will for all time^[25]^[26]^[1]), Aura, Absolute Zero & Disassembly (Death Knights have numerous auras such as Unholy Presence, Blood Presence, Frost Presence as well as talents like Necrotic Aura and Decomposing Aura the latter of which can make an enemy slowly decay. Along with these his presence alone creates a chill that goes beyond temperature^[27]), Sealing (Type 3; Can seal souls inside Frostmourne^[4]), Mind Manipulation & Mind Control (Ripped apart Ner'zhul's mind which killed Ner'zhul when he fought Ner'zhul's soul for control of his body^[4]. Can also control the mind and body of people bypassing resistance to mind control^[28]^[1] and can use Control Undead to dominate an undead forcing it to do his bidding), Power Mimicry (With Dark Simulacrum he can copy any ability used on him 12 seconds after he uses Dark Simulacrum), Energy Manipulation & Darkness Manipulation (Can crush the throat of a target using dark energy and stun the target while doing so. Can also utilise the energy that binds and surrounds all matter to draw an opponent to him and can do the same with Gorefriend’s Grasp but instead it pulls all enemies to him), Damage Boost (with passive abilities such as Improved Death Coil, Bursting Sores, Improved Festering Strike, Improved Frost Strike, Improved Obliterate and more), Empowerment (Humans have the racial ability of The Human Spirit which grants them more Versatility, Haste, Critical Strike and Mastery. Death Knights also have the ability to empower their weapons with runeforges and the ability Empower Rune Weapon), Damage Reduction (Undeads have the racial ability to reduce shadow damage taken. He can also reduce damage taken with Anti-Magic Zone, can reduce all damage taken by 30% with Icebound Fortitude and 15% with Unholy Endurance and can passively reduce magic damage by 10% with Null Magic with magic effects fading 35% in addition), Statistics Amplification (Can boost his strength with Pillar of Frost), Statistics Reduction (Can reduce healing his enemies receive with Festering Wound and can reduce opponent’s speed by 90% with Grip of the Dead), Attack Reflection (Arthas’ armour is made of Saronite which has shown the ability to passively reflect blunt attacks, nature attacks and holy attacks^[4]^[21]^[22]^[23]^[24]), Life Manipulation, Absorption & Darkness Manipulation (Undeads have a racial ability to be able to drain the life of their targets which deals shadow damage), Healing (Can sacrifice undead to heal himself or heal through damaging enemies with abilities like Death Strike. The Undead racial abilities of Cannibalise and Touch of the Grave give Undeads the ability to have their damaging attacks to drain their opponents life and heal them in return and can regenerate health and mana by cannibalising humanoid or undead corpses), Resurrection Negation (Can negate his opponent’s ability to resurrect with Fury of Frostmourne), Psychokinesis (As the Lich King, Ner’zhul is stated to have nearly limitless psychic power^[4]^[1]. As Arthas is also the Lich King and stronger than Ner’zhul was as the Lich King he likely has the same ability due to the statement implying this is a newly found ability as the Lich King), Precognition & Clairvoyance (Can see visions of destiny allowing him to plan for all possible outcomes^[4]), Status Effect Inducement (With Outbreak causing Virulent Plague, Howling Blast causing Frost Fever, Death’s Caress causing Blood Plague and more), Homing Attack (Rune Strike as well as other abilities such as Wrath of the Lich King can’t be dodged, blocked or parried), Power Nullification & Absorption (Humans have the racial ability Will to Survive which grants them the ability to remove all stun effects from themselves. Undead also have the ability to remove all charm (such as Mind Control), fear (such as Fear and Psychic Scream) and sleep effects. He also has Anti-Magic Shell which he can use to can create a shield to absorb magical damage and prevent any harmful magic effects), Non-Physical Interaction (Should hold the same ability as most denizens of Azeroth to be able to fight and interact with intangible beings such as elementals, ghosts and even the Sha who are embodiments of negative emotions^[29]. Not to mention the fact that Frostmourne directly attacks the soul and in the RPG has the ability of Ghost Touch which gives the weapon the ability to attack incorporeal entities^[30]), Paralysis Inducement & Perception Manipulation (With Asphyxiate, Dead of Winter and can disorient enemies by blinding them with Blinding Sheet), Pocket Reality Manipulation (Frostmourne traps souls it steals in a spiritual pocket reality within the blade itself^[4]^[31]), Teleportation, Portal Creation & Dimensional Travel (Can use Death Gate as a means of teleportation. For example he teleported during the Light's Hope Chapel campaign and to the Argent Tournament staging grounds. Death Knights are also shown to be able to use Death Gate to travel to and from their Order Hall of Acherus. It is functionally similar to a Mage’s Portal and Teleport spell. Most importantly, lesser Death Knight acolytes were capable of opening portals from Oribos in the Shadowlands to Azeroth in the Great Dark connecting two planes of existence. The fragments of Arthas' Helm of Domination are also able to create a tether to Azeroth from the Shadowlands^[32]), Magic (As a Death Knight he uses multiple magic types such as blood magic, frost magic, unholy magic, shadow magic, death magic and runic magic), Ice Manipulation (Can freeze enemies, can slow enemies with Chains of Ice and Remorseless Winter and can deal frost damage with Breath of Sindragosa), Fire Manipulation (Can shoot fire from Frostmourne^[24]), Bone Manipulation (Can surround himself in a Bone Shield increasing his durability and attack speed. Can use Bonestorm to heal himself), Blood Manipulation (With Blood Plague, Blood Boil, Blood Drinker and more), Unholy Manipulation (Has many unholy based abilities as an Unholy Death Knight such as Unholy Presence, Death Coil, Epidemic, Outbreak, Apocalypse, Festering Wounds and More), Magnetism Manipulation (Can draw enemies to him with Magnetic Pull), Weather Manipulation (Can produce a massive winter storm with Remorseless Winter), Disease Manipulation (Can control the plague with his will alone^[1]), Dream Manipulation (Created creatures of pure nightmare and made them watch over the realm of the elements^[33]), Emotional Manipulation (Can induce someone into a killing frenzy with Unholy Frenzy), Explosion Manipulation (Can explode fallen corpses including his undead minions with Corpse Explosion dealing shadow damage), Energy Projection (Can shoot energy out from Frostmourne^[24]), Telepathy (He can talk to undead telepathically^[34]), Astral Projection (Is able to project himself to different locations around Northrend even during a quest where the player travels to the spirit world/realm of the elements to relive an echo of Ymiron^[33]. Also projected himself atop Naxxanar during the campaign in Borean Tundra^[27]), Power Bestowal (Can bestow immortality and power such as the true power over the dead^[1]), Weapon Creation (With Blood Death Knight’s Dancing Rune Weapon), Pain Suppression (Undeads naturally have a dulled sense of touch and can withstand their bodies being consumed in righteous fire when healed despite crippling pain^[35]^[36]^[37]), Forcefield Creation (With Anti-Magic Zone, Anti-Magic Shell, Mastery: Blood Shield and Permafrost), Additional Limbs (With Abomination Limb he can sprout additional limbs to pull enemies towards him), Superhuman Physical Characteristics (Easily exceeds the requirements to be classified as a superhuman. Is described as being a godlike being^[18]), Genius Intelligence (Arthas was one of the finest swordsmen in all of Lordaeron and was inducted into the Order of the Silver Hand at 19^[1]. Due to his years of martial and paladin training he was able to have insight on the tactics that the Alliance used and was able to siege the kingdom of Lordaeron^[4]. After this he laid siege to the kingdom of Quel'thalas and the mage city of Dalaran. For more information see the Intelligence section), Undead Physiology (He is an Undead), Self-Sustenance (Types 1, 2 and 3; As an Undead he is liberated from mortal inconveniences and has the ability to survive underwater without the need to breathe. It is also said Undead no longer need to eat, Undead also do not require sleep nor the need to shelter from the elements^[35]^[36]^[37]), Underwater Breathing (Type 2; As mentioned before, Undead have the ability to survive underwater without the need to breathe^[35]^[36]^[37]), Water Walking (With Path of Frost), Social Influencing (Humans have the racial ability Diplomacy which increases their reputation with factions around the world), Enhanced Senses (With the racial ability Perception) and Cursed (Wields the cursed blade Frostmourne^[16].)

Summoning & Necromancy (Arthas and those the Lich King has given true power over the dead to^[1] can summon both the undead and the ghosts that he's slain with the ghosts he summons maintaining their abilities they had during life. This can notably be seen in the Halls of Reflection dungeon where he summons Falric and Marwyn to fight the Champions on their quest through Icecrown Citadel. Falric and Marwyn then use the power granted to them by Arthas to raise the soldiers of Lordaeron^[5] that Arthas killed and raised into undeath which still walk the grounds of Icecrown^[38]. These soldiers fall under multiple different classes. Namely Priests, Mages, Paladins, Hunters, Rogues and Warriors^[5]. He also killed notable characters such as Antonidas, one of the most adept Mages, Gavinrad, one of the first five Paladins, Anasterian Sunstrider the High King of Quel’thalas who was both a Mage and Warrior and more^[17]. It is likely he can summon more than the listed classes and characters as he has been shown to also be able to summon Val’kyr from the Shadowlands as well as ones he created himself^[4], he raised Sindragosa into undeath as well as Ner’zhul, during his time as the Lich King, raising ancient dragons from the dead^[1] those of which Arthas would now have control over. He also likely has access to fallen adventurers that journeyed to Northrend and fell to the Scourge. Lastly, he has a range of Necromantic summons in the form of members of the Scourge which he can be seen raising during the Wrathgate. He even began to raise the Champions of Azeroth into undeath^[4].)

This grants at least the following abilities to either both himself or just those he summons:

Mage: Statistics Reduction (Slow), Transmutation (Polymorph and Mass Polymorph), Ice Manipulation (Ice Wall, Frost Bolt), Fire Manipulation (Fireball, Meteor), Magic (Arcane Blast, Arcane Barrage), Time Manipulation & Spatial Manipulation (Temporal Beacon, Rewind Time, Alter Time), Invisibility (Invisibility, Mass Invisibility), Teleportation (Blink, Teleport and Portal), Statistics Amplification (Time Warp, Arcane Intellect), Invulnerability (Temporary Damage Negation; With Ice Block), Absorption (Mass Barrier, Ice Barrier, Blazing Barrier and Arcane Barrier) and Power Nullification (Counterspell)

Rogue: Weapon Mastery, Stealth Mastery (Stealth, Shroud of Concealment and Vanish), Statistics Amplification (Sprint, Slice and Dice and Cold Blood), Damage Reduction (Feint), Poison Manipulation and Blood Manipulation (Instant Poison, Crippling Poison, Poisoned Knife, Garrote, Sepsis, Rupture and Kingsbane), Healing (Soothing Darkness, Repucerator, Recuperate and Crimson Vial), Power Nullification (Kick) and Invulnerability (Temporary Selective Invulnerability; With Cloak of Shadows and Evasion)

Warrior: Weapon Mastery, Statistics Amplification (Avatar, Battle Shout, Rallying Cry and Recklessness), Power Nullification (Pummel), Attack Reflection (Spell Reflection), Invulnerability (Temporary Selective Invulnerability; With Die by the Sword) and Healing (Second Wind.)

Val’kyr: BFR & Dimensional Travel (Can summon Val'kyr that can freely travel to the Shadowlands and carry spirits to the Shadowlands)

Attack Potency: High Outerverse Level (Just a flicker of a fragment^[13] of the soul of Arthas, that was so insignificant that Sylvanas didn’t even consider it a soul, was still strong enough to power Kingsmourne^[13]. Typically souls maintain the strength they had when they were alive (sometimes even surpassing it) as seen with characters like Uther, Mograine, Draka and others, with this clearly being a case of a soul being vastly weaker than their normal state. Arthas’ fragmented soul even manifests as a “Remnant of a Fallen King” and fights the Champions of Azeroth during their battle against Anduin furthering the fact that this fragment of Arthas scales to this Anduin. It is even stated that this remnant was the source behind the Domination magic that controlled Anduin's soul before and during the fight^[47]. As mentioned before, this fragment is so weak compared to Arthas at full power (with the Helm of Domination and Frostmourne) that unlike all the other souls that exist in the Shadowlands, even the ones chained and broken within the Maw and Torghast, it dissipates nearly straight away when broken away from Kingsmourne. This is all important because Kingsmourne and by extent Arthas' soul was able to amp Anduin to the point where he could one-shot the Archon using the mourneblade. The Archon is a member of the Pantheon of Death also known as the Eternal Ones which is a group of transcendent beings embodying the cosmic force of Death. This Pantheon is stated to be as powerful as the other Pantheons which includes the Pantheon of Order also known as the Titans^[19]. To further support his scaling to the Titans, the merging of Arthas and Ner'zhul into the Lich King is described as having formed a godlike being^[18] with the Titans often being described as godlike beings^[15]. Supporting this even more is the fact that it is stated that the Lich King is an all-powerful entity^[30] with the Titans also being referred to as such by Xe'ra^[48]. Lastly, it is also stated that once they merged he became one of the mightiest entities the world had ever known^[4] with the world having knowledge of Sargeras, the Titans and the Old Gods prior to this. Also worth nothing is that he is also stated to have unparalleled power^[49] despite the Champions having fought the Old God Yogg-Saron before fighting him. The Titans are so powerful that a being like Nozdormu is described as the equivalent of a slug crawling out of the mud^[50] after feeling the power of Sargeras through the Well of Eternity. This is notable as Nozdormu scales to the Emerald Dream due to him assisting in the defeat of Deathwing who can make the entire realm tremble with his Cataclysm^[51]. The Emerald Dream is a vast, ethereal, ever-changing spirit world and is described as a confluence of spirits and strange otherworldly beings^[52]. No living creatures except the Titans can ever permanently change the Dream^[53]. It is a realm that holds unknowable, transcendent power^[51] and exists outside the boundaries of the physical world^[52]. Time holds no dominion in the Dream^[54] and is considered to be meaningless there^[53] as it exists beyond the concept of time due to the fact that the Dream is a domain of Life whereas time is a construct of Order^[55]. This can functionally be seen by the green dragonflight that tends to reside there, such as Ysera's consorts. These dragons are considered effectively immortal as they almost never emerge from the Dream, as such they will not age unless they exit the Dream to experience time in the physical world^[53]. Furthermore, the permanent denizens of the Dream are therefore considered immortal due to never leaving the realm. It was stated in an interview with lead narrative designer Steve Danuser that without a connection to the mortal plane, time for the individual no longer has meaning which is due to the fact that time is a concept of Order and not of the other Forces such as Life and Death^[55]. This explains why Druids that travel to the Dream through dreaming perceive some form of time as they are still tied to their physical bodies in the mortal plane^[56], it is their physical body that is experiencing time in the mortal plane and it is not their spiritual dreamform that is within the Dream that perceives time, as the Dream itself is beyond the concept of time due to it not being a concept of Life but rather Order. Most importantly, it is said that this realm of intangibles exists beyond the sway of the concepts of distance and time^[15]. Which both confirms that the Dream is beyond the concept of time but above all else, tells us the Dream is also beyond the concept of distance making it at least 1-A. It is also worth noting that the Emerald Dream is stated by Cenarius to have layers, which he described as levels upon levels^[50]. These layers are also referred to as paths in the same quote. There are said to be an infinite amount of these paths or layers^[52]. These older layers were flawed and unfinished models made by the Titans to perfect their design for Azeroth. As such these older layers are considered incomplete and limited in scope^[50]^[53] as well as being viewed as invisible relative to the higher layers. From this we can gather that the Emerald Dream is a realm that is infinitely high into 1-A. To further support the gap between the Titans and those that scale to the Emerald Dream, Sargeras, a former member of the Pantheon of Order, is stated to be so much stronger than Archimonde and Mannoroth that they were as fleas in comparison to him^[50]. Even the entire Burning Legion was described as a shadow compared to him^[57]. The manifestation of the Void Lord Dimensius is also described as being a mere shadow relative to his full power^[58] with the Void Lords likely being part of the Pantheon of Void. Arthas also scales above the Old Gods such as Yogg-Saron as mentioned before. The Old Gods are beings that are stated to be as much above Krasus as he is to a worm^[50]. Krasus scales to 1-A due to his participation in the War of the Ancients which includes his victory over Hakkar the Houndmaster with aid from Malfurion^[50]. Hakkar was one of the main leaders of the Legion's assault during the War of the Ancients alongside Archimonde and Mannoroth^[50]. From this, we can determine that Arthas scales to characters that are repeatedly shown to dwarf 1-A characters to the same extent that they dwarf dimensioned things.)

Speed: Irrelevant (Arthas is able to fight characters that scale in speed to Deathwing who is able to have his Cataclysm attack travel from Azeroth all the way to the Emerald Dream making the Dream itself tremble^[51]. The Dream as stated above is beyond the concepts of distance and time^[15]. He also scales above Malfurion who can travel between the infinite layers of the Emerald Dream^[50].)

Lifting Strength: Unknown, possibly Irrelevant

Striking Strength: High Outerverse Level

Durability: High Outerverse Level

Stamina: Inexhaustible (as an Undead he does not require rest^[37].)

Range: possibly Irrelevant

Standard Equipment: Frostmourne (One of two vessels of Domination^[7], Frostmourne is a fearsome, rune-inscribed two-handed longsword^[59], it possessed the power to shatter^[17] and imprison the souls of its victims^[4] and could remake the living into mindless undead^[60]. In the time wielded by Arthas, Frostmourne had in that time spilled the blood of kings, destroyed nations, and inflicted scars on the world that remain to this day. The name alone is enough to chill the hearts of the living. Few weapons have shaped as much of modern history as this one^[60]. The blade was crafted by the Primus who was at the time imprisoned by Zovaal and known as the Runecarver. Frostmourne and the Helm of Domination were considered his grandest designs up to that point with Frostmourne in particular being the finest mourneblade made by the Primus^[7]), Helm of Domination (The Helm of Domination was the other vessel of Domination crafted by the Primus^[61]^[7]. The Helm of Domination was a magical, ornate^[44] helm (or crown)^[62] infused with the power of Domination^[63] and worn by the Lich King to control the Undead Scourge. It was destroyed by Sylvanas Windrunner to open a rift into the Shadowlands. Despite being a fractured remnant of the Lich King's power, the shards of the Helm still retained the power of Domination and, therefore, incredible power over the souls of the dead^[64]^[65]^[66]. The shards were used to enter the Shadowlands and pursue Sylvanas^[67] and enslave souls for information on how to escape the Maw^[64]^[65], before being placed on the Shadowlands Map in Oribos in order to establish a tether with Azeroth^[68].) and Saronite Armour (It is said that the Lich King’s armour is composed of Saronite, a substance reputed to be the black blood of Old Gods. It is the same substance which the Lich King used in the construction of many Scourge structures, including Angrathar the Wrath Gate and the indomitable fortress of Icecrown^[21]. Saronite has been shown to be able to resist and reflect magical attacks as well as regenerate from physical damage inflicted on it^[4]^[21]^[22]^[23]^[24].)

Intelligence: Genius (Arthas was one of the finest swordsmen in all of Lordaeron and was inducted into the Order of the Silver Hand at 19^[1]. Due to his years of martial and paladin training he was able to have insight on the tactics that the Alliance used and was able to siege the kingdom of Lordaeron^[4]. After this he laid siege to the kingdom of Quel'thalas and the mage city of Dalaran resulting in the destruction of both and the killing of their leaders. Quel'thalas in particular stood for 7,000 years showing how much of a military feat it is for Arthas to destroy the kingdom and slaughter 90% of the population including its king, grand magister, military leader and the entire Convocation^[69]. As a Death Knight, Arthas was able to defeat Illidan in one-on-one combat. This is notable as Illidan is a prodigious night elf who is over 15,000 years old and has had thousands of years of battle experience^[1]. Night elves are wise spell casters training in the magical arts for thousands of years. Those with amber eyes like Illidan's signified great druidic potential. The night elf empire grew with their hastened learning of spell casting compared to other races on Kalimdor which resulted in them claiming further territory that was long ruled by the trolls^[53]. Illidan is also capable of leading the Illidari Demon Hunters he trained on incursions to the Legion's occupations on other planets such as Mardum^[70] as well as conquering the broken planet of Outland where he became the Lord of Outland though still lived in fear that Arthas may one day find him^[71]. Despite all this great battle intelligence, Arthas was able to overcome Illidan and defeat him in battle, showing his great intelligence when it comes to combat. As the Lich King he fully ruled the army of the Scourge taking out many threats to their reign over Northrend further proving his military dominance. He was also able to see visions of destiny and plot all the possible outcomes of his plans during the events of the Wrath of the Lich King^[4] showing how far his military intelligence grew as he was capable of plotting for any outcome of his war plans against the forces of the Alliance and Horde.)

Weaknesses: The destruction of Frostmourne will instantly result in the release of the souls trapped within the mourneblade. From there the spirits of the Lich King's victims will swarm their tormentor, repaying his cruelty with righteous vengeance. After this Arthas is left defenceless and fatally wounded. This feat was only accomplished by Tirion landing a desperate blow when Arthas was convinced he had won and had already begun to raise the Champions into undeath. As this occurred, Tirion was blessed by the Light, allowing him to break free from his icy prison and amping both him and the Ashbringer^[4]^[72], both of which directly counter the undead. The Ashbringer in particular destroys the undead so thoroughly it leaves nothing but ash in its wake.^[73]^[74].

Feats: Arthas most notably slaughtered the Champions of Azeroth^[4] who were stated to be Azeroth’s greatest champions and the greatest fighting force Azeroth had ever known^[72] up until that point. These same champions have previously defeated many notable threats such as: Yogg-Saron^[75], C’thun^[76], Kel’Thuzad^[77], Illidan^[78], Nefarian^[79], Ragnaros^[80], Archimonde^[81], Kil’Jaeden^[82] and more. Arthas also fought one of his toughest battles against Illidan before he became the Lich King^[83]. It is worth noting that although he was weaker than he is as the Lich King by a large degree, Arthas at this point was being amped by the remaining powers of the Lich King at the time, Ner’zhul^[4]. It is stated that it was the only time up to that point where he came close to dying^[3]. Despite the adversity he sliced into Illidan’s flesh and nearly killed him, yet Arthas never delivered the final blow^[4]. Although Illidan at this point was also far weaker than when we see him in Legion he was still immensely strong with Kil’jaeden even thinking Illidan was strong enough to defeat the Lich King, Ner'zhul^[4]. Lastly, he is able to control the entire Scourge in which his ability to control them is proportional to his power^[25]. As he weakens so too does his grip on the Scourge. This is notable as the Scourge is capable of causing unimaginable damage to Azeroth when not being controlled by a Lich King^[4]. Arthas also views that his ideal Scourge, one that has the Champions of Azeroth raised amongst it, would be far more capable than the Alliance and Horde to defend the world against any potential threats, naming the Legion and Void specifically.^[4] This is consistent with Mal’ganis viewing the Legion, Argus and the Scourge as equal pawns in the Jailer’s game that is beyond the grasp of himself and the other dreadlords^[84].
