fifteenth rune :: frost
[Filtered from allies of Riful, Arthas, etc., and anyone would feel inclined to discuss the matter with such folks.]
I'm glad to see this recent talk of serious action. No matter what anyone may privately think or believe, Arthas is beyond redemption. He is a monster who should be be suffered to exist. His ambitions must be snuffed out before they reach whatever terrible fruition he has planned with that demon-woman.
But it is unwise to ride to battle without forewarning. I'm aware that some of you have had dealings with Arthas in the past, and, of course, some of you have a history with him just as long and despicable as my own. But I am a death knight, as he is; I was, in fact, made by his hand. As he is now, there is but one major difference between us, and that is Frostmourne.
If you ever hope to defeat Arthas, you must separate him from that sword. However--and here is the rub--you must not touch it. All runeblades are cursed in some way, being that they are products of dark magic, but none so much as Frostmourne. If you try to wield it, its madness will consume you, as it has consumed Arthas.
He will be difficult, if not impossible, to defeat with the sword in his possession. Our task is to devise a strategy that separates him from his weapon without any of you needing to lay hands upon the wretched thing.
