After playing the battle strategy games Warcraft III i decided to do a Warcraft fanart pic involving two of my most favourite characters, Arthas, Death Knight of the Scourge, and Thrall, Warchief of the orcish Hoarde duking it out in Northrend.
It was based on the Arthas vs Illidan fight at the end of Frozen throne but i replaced Illidan with Thrall to see how it would look like if they fought.

If you havent heard of these characters i'll give you the lowdown.

Arthas is kinda the Darth Vader of the Warcraft world. He was once the prince of the human kingdom of Lordaeron. He was a paladin of the Kirin tor and was assisted by his friend Uther the Lightbringer. After a plague swpt the kingdom, Arthas swore he would destroy whoever was responsible which turned out to be the undead scourge lead by the Dreadlord Mal'Ganis. Arthas chased Mal'ganis to the frozen realm of Northrend.
Arthas found the cursed Runeblade Frostmourne and used it to kill Mal'ganis, but the sword corrupted him and made him turn to the dark side, joining the scourge and became a Death knight.
Arthas returned home and murdered his father, the king letting the scourge destroy Lordaeron. He then lead the the Scourge to the elven kingdom of Quel'thelas which fell by undead hands and Arthas turned the ranger Sylvanas Windrunner into a banshee.
After helping the dreadlords bring in the burning legion the dreadlords took control of the Scourge but Arthas took back power afterwards. Arthas was called back to Northrend as his master, The Lich King, leader of the Scourge was in trouble. After travelling to Icecrown in Northrend, Arthas was confronted by demon Illidan Stormrage who wishes to destroy the Frozen Throne, The lich Kings seat of power. Arthas defeats Illidan and frees his Master from his icy prision, which was just nothing but armour. After donning the helm, Arthas became the new Lich King of Northrend.

As for Thrall, he was found by humans after his parents were betrayed and killed by the old Hoarde. Thrall was imprisioned and was trained to become a gladiator. Longing for freedom, Thrall escapes his prision to find his people. After finding remnants of his fathers clan, The frostwolves. Thrall was trained to be a Shaman and began freeing his people, He then lead an assault lead by a friend of his father, Ogrim Doomhammer and Grom Hellscream on the human who imprisioned him ,Blackmoore. After slaying Blackmoore, Ogrim was dying and let Thrall inherit his armour and his doomhammer. Thrall became Warchief of the new hoarde, who are based on honour and no longer corrupted by the Burning Legion.
By the third war, Thrall led the Horde west to Kalimdor where they settled in the new Orc nation of Durotar.

Well, i hope that explains their story and i hope you like the pic, Specially fans of The Horde and the Scourge.
