What story does The Frozen Throne tell?

From Wu Mai's pursuit of Illidan, to her loss of self in hatred, from Kael'thas's trek with the blood elves, to vowing to follow Illidan, from assas's self-proclaimed king to wearing a helmet with Nazu's soul, blizzard has brought us twists and turns of stories, and we fought with once familiar or new characters in World of Warcraft. When only assas and Nazu sat on the frozen throne, we suddenly found that everything was far from over:

The story begins with Wu Mai, the guardian of the night elves, chasing Illidan who has been imprisoned for tens of thousands of years. In the war with the Burning Legion led by Archimonde, Tyrande killed the prison guard and released Illidan with the help of Illidan. But Wu Mai saw Illidan's close relationship with the devil and insisted on taking him back to prison. So, a chase began. Wu Mai knew from the beginning that she might not be able to defeat Illidan, but she still thought it was her duty. However, Illidan's strength exceeded her imagination, and soon, more sisters died at Illidan's hands of Sai Ren. Wu Mai had to rely on the power of falling, hoping that the leader of Druidism could punish his brother. As she expected, Furong and Tyrande realized the disaster Illidan would bring and joined her camp. However, as Fu commented, "She has become a kind of hatred". Wu Mai only wanted to kill Illidan. When Tyrande escorted the blood elf convoy, she repeatedly reminded Tyrande that it was a waste of time. When Tyrande fell into the river to intercept the undead army, she did not save her sister, but asked Kael'thas to help her kill Illidan as agreed. Did she forget? Even when Fu Ronggen asked about Tyrande, she even said that she saw Tyrande torn to pieces by the undead army. In this way, the powerful Fu would not pursue Illidan's most urgent pass in order to save Tyrande, perhaps because he saved Illidan from prison and held a grudge against Tyrande. Finally, after seeing the reconciliation between Fu Ronggen and Illidan, Wu Mai didn't even want to say much, and led his own troops to chase into the portal. "I hope she won't bring more havoc than Illidan." Wu Mai is a miserable little man. In order to get revenge, she can do whatever it takes, regardless of principles, and do whatever it takes to get lost in revenge.

Fu Ronggen and Tyrande, who appeared in the night elf mission, are still important forces to maintain world harmony. Fu Yungen knew that he had the responsibility and obligation to stop Illidan, and Tyrande thought that he released Illidan himself, and it was his duty to stop him. When Tyrande met the blood elves, he did not forget the help of the human alliance to the Burning Legion, tried his best to help the blood elves, and even stopped the undead army on the bridge alone. Fu Ronggen cares about the harmony of the world and cares more about Tyrande. Perhaps after sleeping for thousands of years, he cherished his lover more. The couple in the night elves fulfilled their mission, stopped Illidan's plan, and maintained the harmony of the world as always. However, when Illidan left, they were not interested in what would happen in the future. Maybe they think that the elves are maintaining the harmony of the world, not transforming the world according to their own will. Disaster has come, and it's time for them to step forward.

The fate of Prince Kael'thas determines the mission of mankind. The invasion of the Burning Legion destroyed the forest of Kiocharas, and the home of the elves no longer existed. In memory of the dead elves, the remaining elves call themselves blood elves. Under the leadership of Prince Kael'thas, they continued to perform the duties of elves in the human alliance. Unfortunately, the human commander they met was an arrogant and ignorant marshal. When Prince Kael'thas was ready to lead his people to fight bloody battles and avenge the dead, he received such a ridiculous task as repairing the observation post. When the messenger told him to sweep the undead base, he found that all infantry, cavalry and fire support had been transferred; At the same time, he is still worried about the continuous penetration of the siren. If he accepts the help of the siren, he will be regarded as a betrayal by human beings. If he doesn't accept it, he can't complete the task entrusted to him by human beings. For Kael'thas, survival is his pursuit, and he has the obligation to lead his people out of the predicament and towards a new life. But the human alliance cannot give them such an opportunity. When Kael'thas struggled to accept the help of the siren, he became a prisoner of the Human Alliance. At this time, the Sai Ren witch Vaz, who had been helping him, took him on the road of real destiny, just like the senior elves 10,000 years ago, and once again worked for Illidan. Blood elves crave magic, just like Illidan. When Illidan, who gained more magic, saw the first relative left by his former subordinates on this continent, he immediately promised: "I can't treat you, but I can satisfy your desire." Perhaps by fate, the descendants of the senior elves-blood elves, variants of the senior elves-finally joined the last piece of land of Illidan, the former leader of the senior elves, in Junnuo continent. By this time, Kael'thas can finally give full play to his ability to serve the new owner. Kael'thas has been in a state of confusion in the plot, and the external environment has given him great pressure, but he himself doesn't know where the way out is. With the exclusion of the human commander and the guidance of the siren witch, it seems that anyone can shake his original idea, but when he met Illidan, he had a goal for the time being, so he tried his best to help his new master. His destiny is that others control their own destiny. Garassos, the commander-in-chief of mankind, is a completely hateful character. He is arrogant and ignorant. He doesn't unite with other races in times of crisis, and he can't fight against powerful enemies himself. First, I drove away the blood elves, and then I began to be dissatisfied with the dwarves. In the mission of the undead, they naively thought that they could get back the capital of Lauderland after helping Vanas in western Europe to get revenge, but they didn't know that they wanted to get the skin from the tiger. After being used, he finally died under the clutches of the king of fear, announcing the complete collapse of the Lauderland human alliance.

Another character eager for revenge appears in The Mission of the Undead-Siouanas. She was originally an elf of Keocharas. When assas attacked the forest, she became a banshee and was controlled by the undead. When Illidan attacked the frozen throne with the energy of the eye of Sargeras, Nazu's power began to weaken, and her control over the undead also loosened, which made Western Europe Vanas regain her will. She did not hesitate to join forces with the King of Fear against assas. When assas left Lauderland, she was completely liberated, but she felt even more confused-she was no longer an elf or an undead, just a monster, and like her sisters, she could only wander alone in the mainland. However, she has not forgotten the meaning of freedom. When the king of fear asked her to surrender, she knew that she couldn't lose her freedom any more, and resolutely fought against the forces of the king of fear, using local bandits and ogres to conquer the camp of the king of fear in one fell swoop and make the king of fear succumb to her own forces. Then she tricked Gareth into attacking the last castle of the King of Fear, and made a false oath to return Lauderland to Gareth when it was done, but she just wanted revenge. Stupid Gareth actually believed it. In these practices, the cunning shown by vanas in western Europe made Varimas, the king of fear of rebellion, feel: "You are more like one of us."

In the end, Vanas and Varimas in Western Europe got the capital of Lauderland and killed other kings of fear and stupid Gareth. However, will these two equally cunning peoples have the same peaceful future as they do now? Revenge of vanas in Western Europe was not fully realized. At least, she is free and no longer a slave to anyone.

Finally, we will never forget these two roles-Illidan and assas. Illidan lived and died with the Burning Legion thousands of years ago, and it was his faction's abuse of magic that brought the Burning Legion into this world. In the chaotic plot, Tyrande rescued him from prison, and Illidan resolutely fought the Burning Legion for the fate of the night elves. He absorbed the power of Gourdain's skull, destroyed the demon gate of the Burning Legion, and made the Burning Legion suffer setbacks. However, his strength does not come from nature like Fu, but from peace. Therefore, even the leader of the Burning Legion, Giorgidan, can only say, "You are both our friend and our enemy". However, Illidan finally accepted Keogyidan's proposal. He wanted to destroy Nazu who betrayed the Burning Legion and make the undead disappear completely. In return, Chiojidan will give him a lot of power. Strength is Illidan's eternal pursuit. Wu Mai's pursuit was not enough to hinder his plan, but the appearance of Fu Ronggen and Tyrande failed him. It seems that he should think that destroying the frozen throne with the energy of Sargeras' eye can destroy the undead, but it is enough to shock the mainland and affect the balance of nature, and he will definitely encounter opposition from the night elves. However, after the plan failed, he fled to Junnuo in order to avoid Keogyidan's anger. Despite the help of Sai Ren and the blood elves, after mastering Junnuo's hegemony, he still has to face the terrible Keogyidan. Because of the devil's power, he had to walk in the cold land of Northrend and finally fell by the sword of assas. Pursuing strength is Illidan's goal, but his love for Tyrande has not changed at all. When he heard that Tyrande had fallen into the river, he did not hesitate to send a siren to look for it, and took the initiative to make up with Fu Ronggen. This behavior is a betrayal of Chiojidan, who is willing to take risks for his beloved. The pursuit of strength made him embark on a completely different fate from Fu. When he tried to escape, it was too late.

Assas is the soul of the first half of the chaotic story and the terminator of the frozen throne story. From the human prince troubled by hatred to the immortal king who ordered the slaughter of all mankind; From the paladin who uses the power of light to the death knight who wields the grief of frost; From the journey of investigating the clues of the undead to sitting on the frozen throne as a symbol of the undead ... It can be said that as long as the story of warcraft 3 is mentioned, it is impossible to ignore the existence of assas. Nazu's power is the ultimate power to maintain the whole undead. He is the source of the power of the undead. Illidan almost destroyed Nazu's power. After the night elves inadvertently saved Nazu, Illidan pushed the frozen throne under the command of Giorgidan. At the most critical moment of the dead, only assas, who has the sorrow of frost, can save the fate of the dead. Although his strength is weakening, assas still walks towards the frozen throne step by step without hesitation. With the help of Chersu Zadeh, assas, who almost died at the hands of vanas in Western Europe, left Lauderland and returned to Northrend, which was covered with snow and ice. Under the guidance of Anu Blake, he crossed the underground maze and opened the frozen throne before Illidan. When the last enemy, Illidan, was cut down by the sorrow of frost, he walked on the frozen throne along the road of fate and released Nazu's soul. Finally, the most powerful body and soul of the undead are integrated. When he sat firmly on the frozen throne with the ice crown on his head and the sorrow of frost in his hand, it seemed that the whole world was cut off from him, just as the frozen throne stood between the sea of ice. Who is he? Is it a fallen human prince or a wizard tortured by orcs? If he needs to repent, is it for the dead in Lauderland or the orcs in Juno? Assas has fulfilled his mission, but he doesn't know where the future lies.

Looking at the whole plot of the frozen throne, it feels far less complete than the chaos law, and the connection of the stories is a bit stiff. Unlike the chaos law, all the plots revolve around the ultimate goal of defeating the Burning Legion. Wu Mai, the night elf, is a nobody, unable to control the fate of the whole race, while Fu Jungen and Tyrande are content with the status quo and return to the forest early to enjoy peace. Like Kael'thas, the blood elves in human mission are in the hands of others. Even after playing the frozen throne, they soon lost the impression of human mission. Due to the appearance of such impressive figures as assas, the tasks of the undead are relatively rich. Although there are many roles, they are all too constrained by their own gains and losses. The whole story has no clear theme. Even if assas finally meets Nazu, it doesn't mean anything. Can't say that the undead are invincible from now on. The failure of Archimonde in the chaos clearly tells people that the invasion of the Burning Legion failed, and the balance of the world remains the same. It is also a pity that there is no orc mission. Only one reward advertisement mentioned that Si Long established the Dulongta tribe in Kalimdor. The determined orc leader only gave an order completed by a BM, and didn't really join the story. In addition, Jaina's human alliance did not appear. Where did they go? Perhaps these unsatisfactory places can only be explained to us in World of Warcraft.
