| − | The '''Battle of Angrathar the Wrath Gate''' is a battle between the united forces of both the [[Alliance]] and the [[Horde]] against the undead [[Scourge]]. [[Highlord Bolvar Fordragon]] and [[Saurfang the Younger]] challenged the [[Lich King]] at the very entrance of [[Icecrown Citadel]], [[Angrathar the Wrath Gate]]. However, the [[Forsaken]], led by [[Grand Apothecary Putress]], attacked from the cliffs above the Gate with catapults loaded with their [[New Plague]], killing most of the Alliance-Horde forces and driving the Lich King into his fortress. Saurfang the Younger died at the hands of the Lich King before the New Plague was unleashed. |
