Frostmourne, The Lich King’s Blade (World of Warcraft)
What true blacksmith and video game enthusiast would not take a crack at this blade? Its name is legendary. Its power is legendary. Its brother, Shadowmourne, is a legendary… in the game because Blizzard decided to make it unattainable. What-the-fuck Blizzard? WHY! Hell, take Warlords of Dreanor, Mist of Pandaria, and Cataclysm back and give us Frostmourne and Ashbringer as an expansion. Marketing 101, give the people what they want.
Frostmourne was the runeblade that Ner’zhul, the Lich King, thrust from the Frozen Throne, intending that Arthas Menethil — his unwitting potential host — would discover it on the continent of Northrend. It was wielded by Arthas, the new Lich King, until it was destroyed following his defeat in Icecrown Citadel.
Being a runeblade wielded by a disgraced prince, Frostmourne is certainly a unique sword. It even has its own book dedicated to the finding of the blade. Now beside it being a weapon of mass destruction it has one, more important, side effect. Like Excalibur, the one who wields it will be the next king. The Lich King that is. Out of my way bitches, I’ve got some caves to search.
