Transcript

Arthas and Kel'Thuzad walk past a row of Ghouls feeding off of piles of corpses, while Necromancers raise skeletons from the same piles.

Arthas: So, you're not upset about me killing you that one time?

Kel'Thuzad: Don't be foolish. The Lich King told me how our encounter would end.

Arthas: The Lich King knew that I would kill you?

Kel'Thuzad: Of course. He chose you to be his champion long before the Scourge even began.

Arthas: If he's so all knowing, then how can the dreadlords control him like they do?

Kel'Thuzad: They are agents of the ones who created our master: the fiery lords of the Burning Legion.

Arthas: What is this Legion?

Kel'Thuzad: It is a vast demonic army that has consumed countless worlds beyond our own. Now, it comes to set this world to the flame. Our master was created to pave the way for its arrival. The dreadlords were sent to make sure that he succeeded.

Arthas: So the plague in Lordaeron, the citadels in Northrend, the slaughtering of the elves... It was all just to prepare for some huge demonic invasion?

Kel'Thuzad: Yes. In time, you will find that our entire history has been shaped by the coming conflict. Now come, we have much work to do.
