The Lich King's Encounter
After defeating the preivous bosses of the citadel, you approach the spiral stairs leading to the Lich King. You are accompanied by five main Lore characters, along with thier armies: Darion Mograine, Highlord Tirion Fordring, The newly found Muradin Bronzebeard, Jaina Proudmoore, and Sylvanas the Banshee Queen.

Upon opening the huge doors into the spiral steps, Jaina stops. So do all of the armies.

Jaina: "I can't do this!"

Muradin: "What?! My lady, we have reached his door step, and you wish to give up!?"

Jaina: "No... I cannot face him again..."

Muradin: *sighs*. "Fine. I shall stay with Jania and her marines along with my Vanguard. Go on ahead, we'll watch for reenforcments.

Tirion: "Are you sure?"

Muradin: "Yes. I believe that you three can do it alone, along with these valiant heroes."

Darion: "We must move! Quickly, Highlord!"

Tirion: *pats Muradin on the shoulder*. "Light be with you, brother."

Muradin: "The Light shines upon you. Go!"

Jaina: "I'm so sorry, Fordring! Good luck!"

"You enter the pinnicle of what is called Icecrown Citadel." As you walk up the broken spiral steps that Arthas had once climbed, you hear his voice ringing.

Quotes:

"You enter my domain... You shall receive nothing more than death."

"The cold hand of suffering shows no remorse."

"You seek death? Continue your ascension into my hands."

"You've made it this far. Turn back now, before your soul is mine."

The Banshee Queen and Tirion having a conversation.

Sylvanas: "I cannot wait to rip his head from his body."

Tirion: "No need. We must show restraint. No more lives shall be lost on this day."

Sylvanas: "Fine, but I'm not going easy."

You enter his plateau, a throne like the one in the cinematic. He stands. Lich King: "Ahh... The Crusaders, along with the ____ (faction) dogs. You wish to engage in combat? Have at it... And is that Sylvanas? Ha ha ha... Pathetic."

Syl: *snarls at the Lich King.*

Tirion: "Your reign of terror is over. Our people have come to put a stop to your Scourge."

Lich King: "You may try, Paladin. You may try."

Tirion: "Now, crusaders! Strike!"

Darion: "Knights of the Ebon Blade! It is our redemption! Fight now, complete our journey!"

Sylvanas: "Rise, my brethren! Show this coward NO mercy! We are Forsaken!"

Lich King: "The Holy ground we once fought upon has long been forgotten. We fight in MY domain!!"

Not your basic Tank n' Spank. He will raise random mobs, ranging from Nerubian warriors and spellcasters to Zombies, Ghouls, Wights, and Geists. Every now and then he will cast Apocalypse, freezing all raid members in a 10 yard raidius in front of him. Their life will be sucked out until they have suffered 45% of their max Health, no matter what they were at. Everytime, throughout the entire encounter, every Player Character raid member who has died, will be risen as an elite ghoul. They must also be killed. Then a battle rez may occur. The Lich King will descend down the stairs at 75% Health, still raising random mobs. He will shatter the plateau that the Raid members had been standing upon, forcing everyone to jump. A parachute will auto-deploy, and the fight continues down bellow. From there, he will randomly choose a raid member to drain the life out of every 10 seconds on a timer, each time a different person selected. This person suffers 75% Health, and heals the Lich King for however much health he drained times 5.

For Example:

A warrior with 35K Health is drained. The Lich King will be healed for 175K health.

At 50%, he will bash pillars that fall for AoE damage to all raid members. These pillars are the size of a small building, and AoE damage cannot be avoided. ALTHOUGH, if you are far enough away, you will not suffer max damage. When ever the pillars fall, you will be "stragulated" and will not be able to cast for 5 seconds. There are about 5 pillars he will drop.

At 25%, you now fight on a large wall, much like a gates you see that are outside of Icecrown Citadel. He will summon an army of the dead, all regular elites. There will be about 10-15 of them, AoE damage comes in use here. The Lich King keeps summoning an Army of the Dead every minute until he reaches 5% Health. These Elites have 75K HP, but do massive DPS. If not rid of quickly, they can become a burden.

Also, throughout all phases, he will throw "Screams of the Lich" at you, causing shadow 12K damage to target.

This is the time to strike. All out single damage, tank n' spank. Basically, you just beat him.

As you hit him, he will say stuff such as:

"No! Not possible..."

"Give up now, aid me conquering Azeroth!!"

"Your death is immenant!"

At 1% Health during final fight, The Lich King will freeze everyone, causing a mass stun. He will say something like:

"Enough! I'm finished scuffling with your meaningless lives! I have allowed every one of you too many chances to live. It is now that you shall all face your fate."

Tirion: "Arthas! You will not harm another innocent soul! It is time that you have answered for your reckless crimes against the denizens of Azeroth!"

Tirion rushes forward, jumping into combat position.

Lich King: "You stand no chance Paladin. You may not see it, but you are in the relentless jaws of death by my wrath."

Tirion: "You do not intimidate me traitor! Be consumed by the light that you once used!"

Tirion charges at Arthas holding the Ashbringer, only to be impaled on Frostmourne. He will drop to the side, Frostmourne still in him.

The Lich King will turn to the Raid again, laughing.

Lich King: "Do you now see that everything you have done, all that you have fought so obsessively to accomplish has all been in vain? You cannot stop death, but you will now face it for the final time! I have won!"

During this speech, The Ashbringer, now on the ground, begins shaking/rattling uncontrollably and a voice is heard echoing through all of Icecrown; Arthas turns around to catch a quick glimpse of Alexandros Mograine's spirit.

Lich King: "Morgraine?"

Darion Mograine: "Father?!"

Alexandros Morgraine: "It's... Over."

The Ashbringer explodes into holy light, whiting all players' screens for 10 seconds, at which it begins to fade. Tirion slowly picks himself off the ground to find no wound where he had been stabbed. Alexandros is nowhere to be found, and the Ashbringer lies on the ground, the majority scorched black, the rest melted. All that remains where the Lich King was, is a pile of ash with his now bashed up armor sitting on top. Frostmourne is shattered into hundreds of pieces on the floor, each shard melting as if it were just ice, leaving only a puddle behind, making it so that no one ever wields the legendary blade. (Also, this alternate way of the Raid makes the Lich King not killed by simple random Heroes of the Alliance and Horde.)

Darion: "Brave soldiers of the _____ (Faction), you have proved to me that true honor and courage overcomes all odds. With my old master dead, I am finally free of this curse. I thank you once more, champions."

Tirion: "Darion is correct, my friends. Through our will to survive, Arthas has finally fallen. His blade shattered and gone. Let it be known that no one shall ever bear his curse."

Darion: "You've fought well, Fordring. I shall now take my place back in Acherus to lead my redeemed Knights. Our mission has been done. We must forge our own destiny. A shadow of hope remains with all of us. I am... Free." Darion will then jump upon a Frostwyrm, then disappear into the sky.

Tirion looks up to the sky. In the chat box, it will say, "Highlord Tirion Fordring cracks a grin, a single tear rolling down his cheek."

Tirion: "I have waited many years for this moment. Our people are free. If it were not for you brave soldiers, I would have not realized where I belong. I will return to the Argent Tournament Grounds, and lead my Order to a brighter future. Icecrown has faltered in defenses and has paid the price. Just rememer the lives of our men who sacrificed themselves for our bright, new beginning."

Two Argent men walk over and salute the raid, then turn and leave Icecrown Citadel with Tirion.

Tirion yelling: "Only shadows from the past remain. There's nothing left to redeem! We have overcome great odds at the cost of lives, but let it be heard that we have salvation! All of the Scourge that run will not get far. all of our enemies shall be conquered. In the name of the Light!" The Argent soldiers cheer and salute him.

As a little bonus, if you are close enough to him, through your speakers you will hear him say this, subtly and almost unnoticable.

"Karandra... I will find you."

Sylvanas looks at you.

Horde:

Sylvanas: "Champions, you have shown great triumph in this battle. I give you my respect."

Sylvanas bows.

Sylvanas: "Now, to lead my Forsaken ever onward. I am Forsaken!"

Two Undead mages come and teleport with her back.

Alliance:

Sylvanas: "Children of the Alliance... I must say, you've proved yourselves today. Let it be known that our hatred will subside in due time. Until that day, I am sorry for the agony you might suffer battling against my men."

Sylvanas bows.

Sylvanas: "Now, to lead my Forsaken ever onward. I am Forsaken!" Two Undead mages come and teleport with her back.

You may loot a chest that has appeared at the end of the wall. Loot is not known right now, so I'm not going to put it.

You can talk to a Kirin Tor Mage who will port you to where Jaina and Bolvar are.

Jaina: *a tear rolls down her cheek.* "It's over then..."

Muradin: "The man deserved it."

Jaina: "I know... I just can't believe it..."

Muradin: "You have shown amazing efforts in this battle. I congraulate you with gratitude and the knowing that your families will be safe. Light Bless you children."

You recieve a buff, "Vanquisher of The Dark", which gives you 25+ on all stats. It lasts for one day.

You can talk to Jaina to be teleported to Dalaran, where you can hand in any quests there might be to Rhonin, Varian, and Thrall, who are all located in the Violet Tower.
