Transcript
Prelude
Arthas, Kel'Thuzad, and the forces of the Scourge gather in front of the entrance to Dalaran.
Arthas:Wizards of the Kirin Tor! I am Arthas, first of the Lich King's death knights! I demand that you open your gates and surrender to the might of the Scourge!
Antonidas and two Knights ride up to greet the death knight.
Antonidas:Greetings, Prince Arthas. How fares your noble father?
Arthas:Lord Antonidas. There's no need to be snide.
Antonidas:We've prepared for your coming, Arthas. My brethren and I have erected auras that will destroy any undead that pass through them.
Antonidas swings his staff, and the auras in question become visible.
Arthas:Your petty magics will not stop me, Antonidas.
Antonidas:Pull your troops back, or we will be forced to unleash our full powers against you! Make your choice, death knight.
Antonidas teleports himself and his Knights away.
Kel'Thuzad:I sense that three separate wizards are maintaining these auras. If you find and kill them, the auras will disperse.
During the Mission
Kel'Thuzad:The Archmage has been killed. The first aura is dispersing.
Kel'Thuzad:The Kirin Tor keeps these creatures caged for studying. If they were to be released, they would cause our enemies a great deal of pain.
Kel'Thuzad:The second wizard has fallen. Only one cursed aura remains.
Kel'Thuzad:The wizards keep many enchanted items within that vault. Shatter it, and we can use their own weapons against them.
Mission Complete
Antonidas:It pains me to even look at you, Arthas.
Arthas:I'll be happy to end your torment, old man. I told you that your magics could not stop me.
Arthas kills Antonidas. He and Kel'Thuzad approach the Book of Medivh, which is hovering above a pedestal.
Arthas:The spellbook is all yours, lich. Let's take it and leave before the wizards amass for their final attack.
Kel'Thuzad:Indeed. I will begin summoning Lord Archimonde at sunset.
In the Reforged remaster, the map's layout has been changed somewhat.
The main quest name and description updated. Now requires to kill three random archmages and then Antonidas in the Violet Citadel.
New optional quest added - Violet Council. Description: Dalaran's elite council of nine is spread throughout the city summoning reinforcements, and guarding treasures. Crush them to ease your path to victory.
There are nine Council Wizards that can be slain in order to gain access to the various vaults holding either resources or other Dalaran experiments.
On occasion, a wizard present in the Violet Hold will summon various prisoners to help attack the undead forces.
