Talk: Frostmourne

I wanted to include on this part that I was not sure if Arthas was the first death knight. Can anyone officiate this? - Zalen:Mannoroth

There is no possible way that Arthas was the first Death Knight because if you have played Warcraft 2, you would find out about Ner'Zhul's Death Knights (They were the equivalent of a Mage in Warcraft 2)

The Death Knights in Warcraft 2 are different from those in Warcraft 3: One is Mage and the other is Undead (Scourge), respectively. Even if they both are from Ner'Zhul, we can judge the differences by looking at their appearances (one wields a magic wand the other wields a runeblade) and the powers they conjure. Therefore, Arthas IS the first "undead" Death Knight of the Scourge, even if he looks humanoid.- Potential 11:30, 25 Aug 2007 (PST)

The sword would have had to originate from somewhere, it'd be nice to know where. though one can assume that whoever owned it first was also a Death knight. CJ 07:59, 2 Jan 2006 (EST)

In "The Frozen Throne," Ner'Zhul says that Frostmourne used to be in the Throne with him. Because the Orcs don't usually use swords, it's speculated that the blade was forged by Kil'jaeden- Ragestorm, Head Bookkeeper- 9:37 Jan 2 2006 (EST)

It's possible that Arthas was the first human Death Knight; the history of the Deathlord's in the Bonus Orc campaign says something about when Arthas took up the sword against his people that other paladins committed the same acts across the country. As for the sword's orgins, my best guess is that Ner'Zhul either made it in the throne at some point, or it came along with the ice Kil'Jaeden ordered.

There were death knights in warcraft 2. Charred But Alive 11:14, 23 June 2006 (EDT)

One : Frostmourne is said to be a runeblade. Two : the Dwarves, and particularly Brann's brother, were looking for it. Three : the Dwarves are known to have Runic culture, created by the Titans. Conclusion : Frostmourne may be a Titan or Dwarven sword of great power that was found by Kil'Jaeden or Ner'zhul who cursed it.--K ) (talk) 12:29, 5 October 2006 (EDT)

I believe that Frostmourne was a simple runic blade that was infused with the Lich King's conscience/soul, which cursed it and causes that slow takeover of the weilder's body that we notice in Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos AND The Frozen Throne

warcraft 2

Frostmourne might be scepter of sargeras,as was wielded by the orc shaman as he entered the nether. This would explain the great power of frostmourne.

Real Life Sword

This bit seems suspiciously like an ad.... especially since the contributor's name is Titusblair, the same as the site he directs us to.... --Mikaka 16:13, 15 December 2006 (EST)

I agree. It should be removed. - --Ramming pure 05:24, 29 January 2007 (EST)

I think it should too, but I didn't. I did remove the image gallery -- the images are pretty small, and I'm not sure that they add anything to the article. It's also not clear to me that they're licensed for wowwiki (even if they were added by the person creating the sword...which raises the whole question of appropriateness all over again). I also removed everything but the most basic factual information regarding the replica from the text about it. But I left the link, against my better judgement. -Scrotch 20:51, 28 April 2007 (EDT)

you know, it might have sounded like an ad, but it's FRIGGIN FROSTMOURNE... it doesn't need an ad, if there is a replica, anyone who would buy it from seeing an ad would buy it from seeing that there is a purchasable replica.

Speaking of which, I am one of those who would buy it from seeing that there is a replica. The site keeps asking for the 'blizzard access code'. if this is my computer being retarded somebody should let me know, if it's not it'd be neat if you'd let people know how to see pics of the replica, even if you're not like 'go buy this'.

(edit) okay I'm retarded, blizz is all 'keep this hushy' to the guys makin the replica, so only blizz dudes know how to see the pics. sorry bout that.
