IBlizzard iveze eminye imininingwane ngomlando wesikhali esisha esizoza ngePatch 3.3: Ubuhlungu besithunzi.
Ngaphambi kokuqala kokubusa kwakhe njengoLich King, iNkosana u-Arthas Menethil wayeyinceku eyayilawulwa ngenkemba eyayibona ibalulekile ukusindisa abantu bayo: iFrostmourne Runeblade. Ukuthola nokuthola inkemba emathafeni aqandekile aseNyakathorend kwakuyi-odyssey impela lapho isikhulu sakhokha inani elikhulu: walahlekelwa ngumeluleki wakhe, ubudlelwane bakhe nezikhonzi zakhe nobuntu bakhe. Intengo ekhokhwe izidalwa eziphilayo zase-Azeroth yayinkulu kakhulu.
Ebambelele enkembeni ayeyibeke phansi impilo yakhe, u-Arthas wahlukumeza umbuso we Lordaeron futhi wazikhulula ezandleni zebutho leBurning. Ngesikhathi inkosana esencane isimemezela njengomholi weSishayo, iFrostmourne yayivele igcwele imiphefumulo yalabo ababenesibindi sokumphikisa.
Manje, i-Arthas iye yahlukaniswa kakhulu nesikhali sayo kangangokuba umfanekiso wenkemba uqophe imbobo ngisho nasekwakhiweni kwenqaba yakhe: Icecrown Citadel. Isipikili sayo asikude neze nezandla zakho, ukuhleba kwaso okuyizipoki kukhala njalo ezindlebeni zakho. IFrostmourne inamandla amakhulu okulawula iNorthrend njengeLich King.
Ukuphonsela inselelo lokho kulawula, amaqhawe anamandla kuzofanele alandele indlela ka-Arthas kakhulu kunakuqala.
Emzamweni wakhe ongapheli wokuhlomisa amasosha abaphilayo ngeSihlava, uDarion Mograine usungule i-Ashen Verdict, inyunyana phakathi kwezingcweti ezinekhono kakhulu kwi-Argent Crusade ne-Ebon Blade. Ngenkathi ompetha abangenakulinganiswa beMpi Yenkolo besebenzisa amandla kaKhanya kanti umholi wabo uphethe iCrematorium, amanye amaqhawe kaMograine amnyama aseqalile ukungabaza amathemba abo okunqoba.
La ma-Knights okufa abelesela ngokuthi i-Cremation kanye namakhono ama-Argent Crusaders, ngenkathi enamandla, akwanele ukunqoba i-Frostmourne. Bathi uDarion Mograine uyazi ngesinye isikhali esidumile: esingabamba ukhiye wokunqoba iLich King futhi sihlanze iNorthrend… kepha asikabikho okwamanje.
Okwamanje, isikhali siwumqondo ongenasici ongenamandla okubulala ngaphezu komcabango othukuthele. Uma kukhulunywa ngayo, kukhulunywa ngezwi eliphansi futhi iNkosi yaseKuphakameni inomkhuba wokubathulisa labo abayisho esidlangalaleni.
Kepha ithemba le-artifact elikwazi ukuncintisana noFrostmourne liqinile ezingqondweni ze-Ebon Blade. Lona kanye igama labo ligqugquzela izithandani ukuba zishe kuze kube sebusuku kakhulu, izifutho zokupompa umoya, nengxenye emnyama kunazo zonke yabakhandi bensimbi beshayela izando zabo kuze kube yilapho iminwe yabo isixega. Njengoba ezinye izingcweti zigobela amatshe acijile futhi ziqoqa amakhulu ezikhali ezimajikijolo, amaphupho ambalwa ngesikhali esiyingqayizivele sokuqeda impi yaseNorthrend.
Ubuhlungu besithunzi… Izembe elikhulu elinezandla ezimbili lilungele isiqhwaga, esizalwe ngamandla akhohlakele futhi angcwele, umamukeli wemiphefumulo eyinkulungwane efile, futhi ekwazi ukusetshenziswa kuphela ngabaphathi bezikhali abathembekile base-Azeroth. Ukudalwa kwayo kubonakala kungenakwenzeka futhi, noma kunjalo, amahemuhemu awapheli.
Abanye abakhandi bensimbi bamemezela ukuthi i-Shadow Agony akumele ibe ngaphezu kwezembe elijwayelekile, elolwe ngokuphelela okungenakuqhathaniswa; kanti abanye bayilolonga ibe yisikhali esibaluleke kakhulu emhlabeni. Kuthiwa uMograine, lapho encengwa ukuba akhulume ngaye, ukholelwa ukuthi yisando sika-Arthas uqobo kuphela esingaba yisibonelo esifanelekile ... kepha ukuvelela okunjalo okungenangqondo kumane nje kuyisiqalo sokudalwa kweShadow Agony.
- Ukuqukethe amandla adansa emaphethelweni awo abandayo, iShadow Agony kufanele iqoshwe ezinqwabeni ze-saronite engcolile, igazi eliqinile lukankulunkulu wasendulo uYogg-Saron, elashwa kuphela ngabenzi bensimbi abaphambili.
- Ukuze kufuthwe amandla okubulala, kubalulekile ukuthi iShadow Agony ingene emiphefumulweni yezinceku zikaScourge ezinamandla kakhulu ngokubabulala, ngamunye ngamunye, ngensingo engakaqedwa.
- Ukusiza ukugqobhoza izikhali zikaLich King, iShadow Agony kumele ihlotshiswe ngezingcezu zesihlalo sobukhosi esiFrozen, esidalwe nguKil'jaeden kusuka eqhweni esivela eTwisting Nether.
Kuthiwa kuphela ngalezi zinto ezinamandla lapho i-Shadow Agony ingaqedwa khona. Noma kunjalo, noma ngabe izembe lingaphothulwa, kusala imibuzo nokwesaba. Ngabe ukwakha imiphefumulo yabafile ukwakha isikhali esiphathwe ngegazi kanye nengqikithi ye-Twisting Nether kwehlukile ekwakhiweni kweScourge Runeshades? Ngubani ongasho ukuthi iLich King ibingavele iqede, noma ilawule, umdali ngenxa yobudedengu bokulingisa impahla yakhe eyigugu kakhulu? Uma u-Arthas, omunye wabanqobi abazinikele kunabo bonke benkathi yakhe, elahlekelwa ubuntu bakhe ngenxa yokuhlebela i-Frostmourne, kungenzeka yini ukuthi iShadowhorn iletha inhlekelele nosizi olufanayo kwabaphilayo?
Ngaphandle kokwazi izimpendulo zale mibuzo, ngubani ozoba nesibindi sokuyisebenzisa?
