Before the residents of the city
Prior to his unthinkable merger with the Lich King, Arches waged war against the Scourge, bent on eradicating the plague of undead that had spread throughout seven souls gold. After Arches watched villages succumb to darkness and saw his fallen subjects transformed into hideous undead creatures, fear and hate engulfed his mind. Upon discovering signs of the plague within Stratham, he knew it was only a matter of time before the residents of the city were reborn as Scourge agents. For Arches, there was only one course of action: purge the city.
