| − | :''Were you looking for the core RTS game [[Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos]]?'' |
||
| + | Dropped by any of the invading undead mobs in the [[Scourge Invasion]] event. Having this item in your inventory will give you the Haunted buff, resulting in an untargetable and harmless [[Scourge Haunt]] to follow in your tracks. The effect seems to last as long as you have the item in your possession. The item can be given/tossed to any friendly player by targeting the player and right clicking the item for its use, much like a Heavy Leather Ball or Happy Fun Rock. If they have no space in their bags, the item is destroyed with no confirmation. The shadow will be dismissed if the memento is placed in the bank. Catching this item triggers the /cower animation. The shadow can also be dismissed by summoning a [[companion]], though the buff remains. Likewise, if receiving the Memento while your companion is summoned, it will dismiss your companion. Stealthing dismisses this pet, though again, the buff remains. |
||
| + | NOTE: This item cannot be obtained from the level 6 undead infront of major cities. |
||
| − | '''''Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne''''' is an expansion pack of ''[[Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos]]'' developed for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS and Mac OS X by [[Blizzard Entertainment]]. Released in stores worldwide in multiple languages beginning on July 1, 2003,<ref>http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/warcraft3thefrozenthrone/index.html</ref> it details [[Arthas|Arthas']] transformation into the [[Lich King]], [[Illidan]]'s awakening of the [[naga]], the conversion of the [[Blood elf|blood elves]], the breakdown of [[Horde]]-[[Alliance]] relations in [[Kalimdor]], and more. ''The Frozen Throne'' takes place approximately one year after ''[[Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos]]'', whilst ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' takes place three years after the events detailed in ''The Frozen Throne''. |
||
| + | ==Similar Quest Spawn & Effect== |
||
| − | ''The Frozen Throne'' continues some of the loose ends of the original game, as well as spins off some new plots of its own and paves way for the new conflict of ''[[World of Warcraft]]'', as well as set plots further explored in ''World of Warcraft'''s expansions: ''[[World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade]]'' and ''[[World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King]]''. |
||
| + | Note: This effect is not caused by having the item, but having a quest. Having the item or not, the same effect is seen. |
||
| − | == Additions == |
||
| − | {{World Editor}} |
||
| − | For each race, ''The Frozen Throne'' adds several new units and buildings, and one new hero per race. The entirely new race "[[Naga]]" has also been added, and can be played in several Sentinel and Alliance missions, as well as in custom maps. A smaller race, the [[Broken|Draenei]], have also been included, though they can only be played in [[Lord of Outland|an Alliance mission]] and custom maps. The old siege engines of the humans, orcs and night elves have been renamed and remodeled, receiving new upgrades in the process. The population limit has been increased from 90 to 100. |
||
| + | If an Alliance player possesses the Light-enfused Artifact quest item from the Special quest from [[Bishop Lazaril]] in [[Shattrath City]] outside [[Aldor]] Bank that sends you back to your race's home city, then a similar shadow known as "Frozen Shade" will whisper the player with many threatening phrases, promising victory to the [[Lich King]] and death to you and your loved ones if you do not join his forces. |
||
| − | The expansion and its subsequent patches made the addition of neutral Hero units, which appear in the single player campaigns. Neutral heroes can be used in melee maps via the [[Tavern]], a neutral building to hire them. The tavern can also instantly revive any fallen hero, with an increased resource cost, and reduced health and mana of the revived hero. A nearby unit is needed to access the tavern. |
||
| + | Some phrases that have been heard thus far: |

| − | The Warden [[Maiev Shadowsong]] pursues the former prisoner [[Illidan Stormrage]] across [[Azeroth (world)|Azeroth]]. Illidan has gained the allegiance of the [[naga]], former [[night elves]] who adapted to underwater life, but they do not stop Maiev, who pursues Illidan from Kalimdor to the [[Tomb of Sargeras]], then all the way to [[Lordaeron]]. During her chase, she asks the assistance of [[Malfurion Stormrage]] and [[Tyrande Whisperwind]], but Maiev holds a grudge against Tyrande for her actions in releasing Illidan in the first place, culminating in her lying about Tyrande's death to Malfurion. Malfurion and Maiev successfully prevent Illidan from using the [[Eye of Sargeras]], with the help of a blood elf, [[Kael'thas Sunstrider]], but in the process, Maiev's treachery comes out, and the brothers Stormrage join forces to save their mutual beloved. Malfurion then pardons Illidan, though he does not revoke his exile, and Illidan departs...with Maiev still dogging at his heels. |

||
| − | The Alliance (the humans are not the main characters) Campaign follows the adventures of Prince Kael'thas, leader of the [[Blood Elves]], a group of high elves that survived the invasion of [[Quel'Thalas]] by the Scourge. Originally helping the Alliance, the Blood Elves are imprisoned by a racist [[Human]] knight, [[Lord Garithos]], and are eventually rescued by [[Lady Vashj]] and her Naga. Vashj then takes Kael'thas to the [[Outland]], the remnants of the orc realm [[Draenor]], to meet (and free) their master, Illidan. After fending off Maiev (again) and gaining the allegiance of the native [[Draenei (Warcraft III)|Draenei]], Illidan is able to conquer the Outland, where he hopes he will be safe from his failure to use the Eye of Sargeras to destroy the [[Frozen Throne]]. But his master, the demon lord [[Kil'jaeden]], catches them nonetheless, and the episode ends with Illidan renewing his vow to destroy the Lich King. |

| − | The human forces in this campaign are very different than the ones used in the multiplayer game. Instead of the full Alliance, only the blood elven units are available, with the addition of a few new units and a blood elf hero added to the expansion pack. The draenei and the naga, with their lone heroes, are also eventually playable. |

| − | In the blighted lands of Lordaeron, now known as the [[Plaguelands]], a civil war is taking place within the [[Scourge]]. The [[undead]] forces splinter into three major factions: [[Arthas]] and [[Kel'Thuzad]], who are loyal to the [[Lich King]]; the [[Forsaken]], led by the Banshee Queen [[Sylvanas Windrunner]]; and a third group still loyal to the Burning Legion, led by the [[Dreadlords]] ([[Nathrezim]]) who are unaware of the Legion's defeat on Mt. [[Hyjal]]. The campaign switches between Arthas' journey to [[Northrend]] to assist the Lich King, and Sylvanas' war against the Dreadlords for control of the Plaguelands. In the end, Sylvanas emerges as the nominal ruler of the Plaguelands, while Arthas travels to Northrend to defend the Lich King, meeting the subterranean [[Nerubian]] race, and eventually defeating Illidan in a one-on-one duel. (Contrary to popular belief, Illidan survived.) Arthas then ascends to the Frozen Throne and becomes one with the Lich King. What becomes of this unholy meeting is addressed in ''World of Warcraft''. |

||
| − | |||
| − | The Bonus Campaign is a departure from the rest of the game and featured the three longest campaigns in the game. It has features more like an RPG similar to ''[[Diablo]]'', featuring a Beastmaster named [[Rexxar]] as he helps the orcs defend and develop their new home of [[Durotar]] from various enemies. The Bonus Campaign is probably meant as a bridge between the traditional ''Warcraft'' real-time strategy genre to the latest release of Blizzard, the MMORPG of ''[[World of Warcraft]]''. It was also created because the game's designers were having trouble getting the orcs involved in the main plot of ''The Frozen Throne''. |

| − | The player controls a group of two to four heroes, primarily Rexxar and a [[troll]] Shadow Hunter named [[Rokhan]]. The player can also gain permanent control of a [[pandaren]] [[Brewmaster]] named [[Chen Stormstout]] and tauren Chieftain [[Cairne Bloodhoof]], and temporary control of Far Seer [[Drek'Thar]], Blademaster [[Samuro]], [[Jaina Proudmoore]], and Cairne's son, [[Baine Bloodhoof]]. Maps are interconnected, with each one being set up as various areas of Kalimdor, such as the orc fortress city of [[Orgrimmar]], and a human city on the [[Theramore]] Isles. |

Revision as of 00:38, 23 July 2011
The subject of this article or section was part of the Scourge Invasion, a two-time world event that heralded the opening of Naxxramas in patch 1.11.0, and the opening of Northrend in patch 3.0.2.
Source & Effect
Dropped by any of the invading undead mobs in the Scourge Invasion event. Having this item in your inventory will give you the Haunted buff, resulting in an untargetable and harmless Scourge Haunt to follow in your tracks. The effect seems to last as long as you have the item in your possession. The item can be given/tossed to any friendly player by targeting the player and right clicking the item for its use, much like a Heavy Leather Ball or Happy Fun Rock. If they have no space in their bags, the item is destroyed with no confirmation. The shadow will be dismissed if the memento is placed in the bank. Catching this item triggers the /cower animation. The shadow can also be dismissed by summoning a companion, though the buff remains. Likewise, if receiving the Memento while your companion is summoned, it will dismiss your companion. Stealthing dismisses this pet, though again, the buff remains.
NOTE: This item cannot be obtained from the level 6 undead infront of major cities.
Similar Quest Spawn & Effect
Note: This effect is not caused by having the item, but having a quest. Having the item or not, the same effect is seen.
If an Alliance player possesses the Light-enfused Artifact quest item from the Special quest from Bishop Lazaril in Shattrath City outside Aldor Bank that sends you back to your race's home city, then a similar shadow known as "Frozen Shade" will whisper the player with many threatening phrases, promising victory to the Lich King and death to you and your loved ones if you do not join his forces.
Some phrases that have been heard thus far:
- Greetings...
- The stench of that holy trinket you carry disgusts me...
- Why don't you discard it...
- Greetings...
- My master has a message for you...
- It is this: Welcome.
- Welcome to a cold death.
- There is no honor fighting us when the end has already been written. Azeroth... will... die.
- If you struggle, then before your death you will face pain and horror and the loss of all you love.
- I see you...
- Join us, <name>. Swear allegiance to the Lich King. Give yourself to him and know peace... the peace you have been denied since your wailing, terrified birth.
- There. I found you...
- Your kingdoms will fall, <race>!
- Your mighty castles will crumble and your loved ones will join the Lich King's ranks!
- Ah, there you are...
- Say goodbye to those you love, <class>...
- I see you...
- What is that bauble you carry?
- Your little toy will not save you!
- The Light is no match for the Lich King's might!
Patches and hotfixes
Patch 4.2.0 (2011-06-28): It is no longer possible to throw this item to other players. 
Patch 3.0.2 (2008-10-14): Added
