![]() ![]() She had defeated Balnazzar's brother Varimathras, who offered to serve her in exchange for his life. Unfortunately for Balnazzar, Sylvanas had plans of her own and laid siege to Lordaeron. He sent Varimathras to bring Sylvanas to join their new order, but things went horribly awry. Though he still lived, Arthas was gone from Lordaeron, or the Plaguelands as they were now called, and Balnazzar was free to reign over it as he liked. Įscorted by a cadre of banshees, Arthas was attacked by Sylvanas, who had prepared a long, grisly death for her murderer, and was about to begin her work when Kel'Thuzad interrupted and chased her off. Balnazzar even loosed other dreadlords on him, but Arthas, rounding up the forces he could find still loyal to him, escaped, or so he thought. Balnazzar and his brothers staged an ambush for Arthas within the Capital City ruins, separating Kel'Thuzad from him and attacking him with their minions. Sylvanas, hungry for vengeance for her current form and the slaughter of her people, agreed. Knowing that Ner'zhul, and Arthas, were losing their powers, they called to Sylvanas, who was no longer locked in loyalty to the Lich King, and asked for her assistance in the coup that was sure to entail. The dreadlords plotted in the safety of the Tirisfal Glades, and began to form a plan to ruin the undead king. Balnazzar and his brothers quickly teleported away before Arthas could strike. Arthas stated that their deaths would complete their folly. It was only when Arthas returned from his sabbatical to Kalimdor that he announced Archimonde's destruction. īalnazzar and his brothers, Varimathras and Detheroc, were not aware that the Burning Legion had been defeated at Mount Hyjal until months after the fact. Though seemingly broken by the dreadlords, Ner'zhul sought vengeance and was able to play on the dreadlord's fears of Kil'jaeden in order trick them into allowing him to hurl Frostmourne out of the Frozen Throne. To this end, they would construct the Icecrown Citadel within Northrend. While the Lich King gathered his strength, Balnazzar and his fellow dreadlords would serve as jailors and executors meant to hasten the Lich King's task by any means necessary. The Lich King and the dreadlords who had tortured him were then sent to Azeroth in order to weaken any resistance that the Burning Legion would face in during the Third War. These items were locked in a diamond-hard block of ice to imprison Ner'zhul. The dreadlords bound his disembodied spirit to a specifically crafted set of armor and a mighty runeblade called Frostmourne. Kil'jaeden passed the orc's spirit through death and revived as a spectral entity. Eventually, Ner'zhul, his sanity cracking, would agree to serve Kil'jaeden. Īt Kil'jaeden's command a group of dreadlords consisting of Balnazzar, Tichondrius, Detheroc, Mal'Ganis, and Varimathras tortured the orc shaman Ner'zhul after he had escaped from Draenor to the Twisting Nether. Balnazzar was finally killed in the Netherlight Temple located in the Twisting Nether, ending the dreadlord permanently. Deciding to dismantle the newly reformed Knights of the Silver Hand, he serves as the main antagonist of the paladin class order campaign. Forced back to the Twisting Nether, he returned years later during third invasion of the Burning Legion. However the execution was faked and Balnazzar later came to possess the body of Saidan Dathrohan, a founder of the Scarlet Crusade.įollowing the war against the Lich King, Balnazzar and his undead Risen were killed by adventurers. Soon after, Sylvanas (who forcibly made Varimathras join her) laid siege to Balnazzar's forces and ultimately forced Varimathras to execute Balnazzar. ![]() ![]() Though they (and Sylvanas Windrunner, who attacked Arthas on her own terms) didn't destroy Arthas, the undead prince left Lordaeron, leaving Balnazzar to rule the Plaguelands. The return of Prince Arthas, following the defeat of Archimonde, sent the three brothers packing, but they quickly regrouped and concocted a new plan to destroy Arthas once and for all.
