You’re a better guardsman than you let on, Garek. You could make captain yourself if you took things seriously.

Are you that eager for me to replace you?

Of course. I’d love to finally retire.

Showering the prince with flowers seems like a little much to me.

This is an event that calls for celebration, Garek. The people deserve to rejoice.

Is it true? Prince Arthas has finally returned? About time!

Does anyone know why the prince sailed for Northrend at all? What could he possibly want up there?

I heard Prince Arthas disbanded the paladin order before he left. Why would he do that?

You'll have to move your cart ma'am, it's blocking the palace gates.

But the wheel is beyond repair!

Don't worry, we'll find you a new one.

Gold well spent. We could just push the cart out of the prince’s way.

Then it would still be broken. Our job is to help people, not push them aside.

Oh, thank you! Please take this token of gratitude.

Stop! Thief!

After him!

I won’t let Prince Arthas return to a city riddled with crime.

I saw it! Prince Arthas purged Stratholme! He killed them all!

We'd better check that out.

Move along!

You can sober up at home or in a cell. Your choice.

I know what I saw!

Can you believe what he was saying?

Baseless rumors. No one really knows what happened in Stratholme, but I’m sure Prince Arthas did all he could for his subjects.

Well, that was a hard day’s work. I’m sure our dear prince will appreciate it.

Sounds like Prince Arthas has arrived. Let’s report to our post.

What the hell was that?

I don't... Garek! Look out!

For Lordaeron!

Begone spawn of darkness!

To arms!

Get 'em!

Our plans come to pass! Death claims you all!

Tremble before the Scourge!

How long I have waited this day!

The door's locked!

We need another way in. Hurry!

This kingdom shall fall, and from the ashes will arise a new order, that will shake the very foundations of the world!

So the rumors were true... Prince Arthas has lost his mind!

The undead! Captain, we have to join the battle!

What happened here?!

It--It was Prince Arthas, sir! He killed the king! His own father!

He’s in league with these monsters?!

At long last, the Cult of the Damned will lay waste to Lordaeron!

Is there no end to them? We need a way out of here!

Captain... what do we do?

There’s an old evacuation route through the sewers. Let’s hope it’s still intact.

Arthas! That traitor!

Leave him for Uther! We need to keep moving!

Captain Landen! Lieutenant Bandarion!

With us, guardsmen!

Thank the Light! There are more survivors trapped on the other side of the palace!

We’ll do our best to save them. Stay here while we clear a path!

Guardsmen! We’ve got yer back!

None shall survive!

Must feed!

Over here! We need help!

The area’s secure for now. Hold this position and wait for our signal!

The way is clear! Gather the survivors!

Civilians in the back. The rest of us will take point.

Arthas is still laying waste to the city...

If we secure a way out, perhaps more survivors can be saved.

Looks like there's only one path forward.

There will be no “path forward” for you!

Everyone, to arms!

The cult must have followed us into the sewers. We need to keep moving!

The city guard! Please, help me!

Over here! Let me out!

Help! Break open the cage!

You have my thanks! Let's get out of here!

I thought I would die in there! These cultists will pay!

I'm in your debt. I'll fight by your side!

Wait... Why are there so many supplies down here?

Intruders! Slay them all!

What is this place?!

The exit tunnel should be nearby. Stay Sharp.

You dare interrupt my work?!

Those fumes must be the "work" we interrupted. We need a way to clear them out.

That should do it. Let's move.

Hmm. This should protect us from the fumes.

Ugh! What are these things?!

It's an ambush!

Too much rubble. We'll have to find another route.

Look out!

There's the exit!

Something cold and menacing lurks in this darkness.

Foolish mortals. You have sealed your fate!

I will return...

Foul lich...

The city's central furnace. It's still pumping heat.

To homes that Arthas turned into charnel houses. We need to shut off the flames.

Captain! I hear voices up ahead!

Rivendare will reward me for this!

Die, cultist scum!

I'll see Rivendare's head on a pike!

Justice will find him, Garek. We need to focus on bringing the survivors to Andorhal.

Thank the Light! Stay here, I'll go back to gather the survivors.

Thank the Light! Stay here, I'll go back to gather the survivors.

You don't have to do this, sir.

Yes I do. I'm not letting you face Rivendare alone.

These spiders are huge...

There must be a broodmother nearby.

Captain! Get me out of these webs!

She's webbed me up! I can't move!

Garek! Cut these webs and free me!

I'm ensnared! Free me, quickly!

Wretched beast!

With the broodmother dead, the swarm should scatter.

What vile sorcery is this?

Whatever it is, it ends now!

Rivendare! You will pay for your crimes!

More lambs to the slaughter!

Captain... I'm sorry...

Run all you like, little rat! I'll catch you yet!

Need to put some debris in his way. Breaking these support pillars should do it.

You cannot escape your fate. All of Lordaeron will fall to the Scourge!

These wretched cultists will not win the day!

Theyre under attack! Forward!

We need to repair the Lumber Mill if this is to be a proper base.

Off to a good start, but we'll need more resources to build an army.

There are other settlements nearby. We should reclaim them as well.

Here's one of the outlying settlements. Good people once called it home.

Yes my liege?

I'm your shooter!

Aye sir!

For Lordaeron!

To arms!

Is my aid required?

I am your servant.

More work?

Help! Help!

Help! Help!

Help! Help!

Help! Help!

We'll need to bring in workers from our base to begin repairs.

At least the cult didn't slaughter the horses.

Our knights will ride them into battle and avenge the fallen.

This was a house of worship! Is nothing sacred to these heathens?!

Your fellow priests will smite them in return.

The family who lived here wanted a quiet life outside of the city.

We'll make use of their provisions and bring their killers to justice.

I knew the owners of this gunshop. They took pride in their craft.

Their wares will arm our riflemen and fill the cult with lead.

The cult's undead minions seem endless in number.

Their fetid ghouls will continue to swarm us unless we destroy their plague cauldrons.

That should afford us a little more breathing room.

Ambush!

It seems we have unwelcome company. Exterminate them.

My master bids this city annihilated! I will see it done!

Only a fool would dare to oppose the Cult of the Damned.

Andorhal will burn like the rest of Lordaeron. You cannot stop us!

Why struggle in futility? The Scourge reigns supreme.

Stubborn imbeciles! I will return with even greater forces!

You will pay dearly for your insolence! This isn't over!

I've dealt with worse miscreants than you! Victory will be mine!

This is a mere distraction! More pressing matters await my attention!

The forest is clear. Now to break the rest of the siege.

If we retake the guard towers, we can drive this vile cultists out of Andorhal!

The militia is fighting in the streets! We'll join forces with them!

For Lordaeron!

No one else available?

To arms!

No one else available?

For Lordaeron!

To arms!

These people need our help!

Save everyone you can!

More plague cauldrons. We should destroy them before the city is overrun!

If we clear a path for Uther's paladins, they can join us in the city streets.

Enough of your meddling. I'll deal with you permanently!

Crates of grain, infected with the plague. This is how Rivendare
doomed his people.

The gate is locked. We’ll have to wait for Ilastar to open it.

Alonsus Chapel. What sacrilege have the cult inflicted upon it?

The way is open. I will remain up here and scout ahead.

Are you... alive? Thank the Light! We’ve been surrounded by the Scourge for weeks!

I can’t face them alone. Garek’s mortar teams can help from afar.

By the Light! The spores from those mushrooms are spreading the plague. They cannot be allowed to grow!

Let these vile spores choke on the ashes of this ruined city.

Reinforcements! I told ye we just had to hang on a little longer!

Focus on the Crypt, before it makes short work of us!

Ilastar, how do you fare?

Well enough. I will heal you as best as I can from up here.

The gate’s still closed. There must be a second lever.

The gate remains shut. There must be another lever.

The gates are open! Frostwhisper will taste our steel!

The gates are open! Frostwhisper will taste our steel!

Ah, back for more, are you? This time I will flay you alive!

You cannot kill me so easily, mortals. We will meet again.

Forget about him. Our true target is Rivendare.

It looks like some tried to flee Stratholme by sea. The cult must have sunk their ship.

We should recover their supplies. They can aid the war effort.

Those should be enough supplies. Time to get back to land.

The streets are infested with the undead. Best avoid them if we can.

Here they come! Be ready to fight!

The gate’s locked. We won’t get through without a key.

The road to Crusader’s Square is open. Rivendare can’t hide forever.

Your suffering will be exquisite.

This is not the end, little mortals.

Stratholme was one of the greatest cities in Lordaeron. Then Rivendare sacrificed it to the undead!

He is but one of many to sell his soul to the Scourge. They will all burn in holy fire.

More survivors! Hold the line!

Damn, our forces have been split. We need to find the lever that opens the gate.

Let's regroup and press forward.

Your bones will serve the Scourge.

Now your bones can join the rest.

Here is the profane tower where Rivendare holds court.

I’ll throw him from the parapets once I’ve cut him down.

Garek, there could still be survivors throughout the city.

Our soldiers can keep searching for civilians in need of rescue.

We’ll regroup in Hearthglen when the deed is done. Now, let’s bring Rivendare to justice.

For Lordaeron!

To arms!

Now victory shall be ours!

It's only a flesh wound...

I come to cleanse this land.

Locked and loaded!

Let's get to fightin'!

You will all serve me!

The Scourge's numbers are endless! You will drown in your own blood!

What... is this? It's in my lungs...

Plague spores... we... we're infected...

Annoying pests! Witness true power!

Ilastar, the obelisks! Destroy them!
