Angrathar the Wrath Gate (Wrath Gate in Wrath of the Lich King) - with detailed description of Wrathgate and Frozen Throne.

Saurfang the Younger and Bolvar Fordragon fight against Lich King.

Angrathar the Wrath Gate is a barred gate located in the Northwest of the Dragonblight. It is the entrance to the Icecrown Citadel, and the Horde and the Alliance are gearing up to lay siege to it. It is here where players will have their first direct encounter with the Lich King and the "first act" of the expansion will culminate.


Before the Lich King, this region was the capital of Azjol-Nerub, the nerubian spider kingdom (The nerubians now dwell in ruins by that same name). Then Nerzhul arrived, and he used his magic to draw many dead or dying creatures onto the glacier and into his army. He conquered the nerubians and built his undead army. Travelers learned to avoid the place. The glacier has seen its share of battle within the past few decades: the Scourge fighting and destroying nerubians, furbolgs and Drakkari; adventurers assaulting the citadel and requiring rescue; Arthas and Illidan Stormrage fighting for the right to open the Frozen Thrones chamber. More than one adventurer has sneaked onto Icecrown Glacier, trying to kill the Lich King and destroy the Scourge. None return. Many consider the glacier the most evil place in all Azeroth.

The Lich King sits on the Frozen Throne at the bottom of the rift, and his glory and power are terrible. Four stone obelisks carved with runes of powerful magic surround the Frozen Throne. Bridges of pale blue, translucent energy stretch from the obelisk platforms to the Frozen Throne. Jets of frost periodically spew blue flames into the air, and there are glyphs carved into the rocky ground surrounding the Frozen Throne. Whoever wishes to enter the Throne Chamber, to risk the Lich Kings wrath, must activate all four obelisks.

Some of these WoW players are just funny to listen to. It's nice to be passionate about something with a great story and immersion, but if you have true hatred for someone because they play an opposing faction, you clearly need to take a break and go outside and remember the real world. When you forget it's a game and start disrespecting people, you just become the WoW players everyone else makes fun of. Thats why most trolls in other games are usually called WoW players. It's not true for all.

@CommanderKylins At the time the Horde needed an ally against the Scourge, what better ally than those who were also once in the command of the Lich King? Of course the Horde don't trust the Forsaken, but they need their power/knowledge against the scourge. And trust me, the way things are going with the Undead now, I doubt they'll last any longer.
