Horrified, humiliated, and disturbed by his near-defeat, Arthas quickly left for Stratholme , where he hoped to engage Mal'Ganis. Uther followed him, and they found that Stratholme had been infected with the Plague.
Arthas, knowing what that meant, ordered Uther to purge the city. Uther, horrified, refused to do so, at which point Arthas charged him with treason, relieved him from command, suspended the paladins from service and sent them away.
Uther confided in Terenas after Arthas left for Northrend and together they decided that Arthas had been compromised, most likely from the stress he endured at Hearthglen, and ordered an emissary to find him and order him to return.
Arthas finally did return some weeks later, though he was somehow different. Nevertheless, Lordaeron 's capital erupted in a festival to celebrate their returning hero. The festivity turned to horror as Arthas proceeded into the throne room and impaled his father on the runeblade Frostmourne.
At some point, Uther was to visit Caer Darrow once again, [21] but the island fell to the plague before that. Terenas was ceremonially cremated and ensconced within a magical urn. Uther, dismayed at having lost two friends to the darkness, volunteered to personally guard the urn in Andorhal. The town was raided by Arthas and his undead minions, who sought the magical urn for necromantic purposes.
Uther stood against Arthas and his minions in an epic battle and initially had the upper hand, knocking Arthas down and sending Frostmourne flying from his hands. The Light 's aura around Uther grew blindingly bright as he prepared the killing blow, when suddenly the sword seemed to find its own way back into Arthas' hands and he was granted more power by the Lich King. The battle began to turn in Arthas's favor. Eventually, Uther, covered in blood from his wounds, fell to his knees and told Arthas he hoped there was a special place in hell waiting for him.
Arthas replied that they may never know because he intended to live forever, then delivered the killing blow. His soul was not divided into one noble and one cruel part; rather, it was as the portion of his consciousness devoured by Frostmourne became frozen in time while the rest of his soul carried on.
The Paragon Devos personally welcomed Uther's soul upon his arrival in Bastion, informing him that his selflessness in life had earned him the opportunity to shed his mortal burdens and train to become a kyrian Ascended ferrying souls to the Shadowlands.
Uther struggled to accept his new purpose, as he felt that his work was not done and that he still had to bring Arthas to justice. Eventually, Devos looked into Uther's memories and discovered that his soul had been literally wounded by Frostmourne, which she recognized as an instrument of the Maw —the realm of eternal suffering. She realized that the power of the Maw was running rampant on Azeroth and that if Uther's memories had been purged as the path demanded, the kyrian would've never learned of this danger.
However, when she brought her concerns to the Archon , she was dismissed. In response, Devos returned to Uther and asked if he still wanted to punish Arthas. When Uther responded that he did, Devos allowed Uther to ascend without purging his memories, and told him that on the moment of Arthas' death, the two would claim his soul.
Uther fighting Arthas in the TCG. Uther's soul splitting in I Intend to Live Forever. Uther's body was recovered after the battle with Arthas by followers of the Alliance and laid to rest in a great tomb. The tomb is located in the Western Plaguelands , east of Chillwind Camp - the only light in a land of darkness.
The marker stone in the tomb reads:. Uther lived and died to defend the kingdom of Lordaeron. Though he was betrayed by his most beloved student, we believe that his spirit lives on. He continues to watch over us, even as the shadows close in around our ruined land. His light is the light of all humanity - and so long as we honor his example, it shall never fade. Uther's ghost in his tomb in the The Burning Crusade.
This section concerns content related to The Burning Crusade. With the addition of draenei and blood elf NPCs all over Azeroth , Uther himself was brought back - albeit in ghost form. For the Alliance, the draenei Anchorite Truuen wishes to honor Uther by finding a holy relic he possessed at the time of his death and bringing it to his tomb.
For the Horde, the blood elf Mehlar Dawnblade wishes to defile the aforementioned relic, and subsequently the tomb itself, in order to seek revenge for Uther's training of Prince Arthas - the despoiler of Quel'Thalas. Both involve traveling to the tower outside of Hearthglen to obtain the [ Mark of the Lightbringer ]. As a result of his tomb's defilement, Uther's spirit was compelled to confront the adventurer.
Uther's spirit expressed sorrow that Mehlar's heart had turned so dark, and hoped that his former pupil would see the Light again and turn his efforts to restoring Quel'Thalas.
The portion of Uther's spirit trapped within Frostmourne was summoned forth from the blade by Jaina Proudmoore or Sylvanas Windrunner inside the Halls of Reflection. He warns that someone must take the place of the Lich King if Arthas is destroyed and that the Lich King can only be destroyed at the place he was created - the Frozen Throne.
Uther is also involved in the Quel'Delar quest chain. When a player enters the Halls on the quest [D] The Halls Of Reflection with the [ Tempered Quel'Delar ] and approaches Frostmourne's altar, the sword will come to life and attack the party. Uther warns that the blade draws the essence of evil from the place and that if they wish to cleanse it, they must take it to the Sunwell on the Isle of Quel'Danas. Arthas was ultimately defeated at the Frozen Throne.
At the moment of his death, the kyrian portion of Uther's soul claimed his spirit alongside Devos. Instead of bringing him to Oribos to be judged by the Arbiter , the two brought Arthas directly to the Maw to cast him into it. Uther initially hesitated, remembering that the Lich King had once been his student.
Devos urged him to take his vengeance; Uther replied that it was not vengeance, but justice. He then let go of Arthas and watched with satisfaction as he fell into the Maw. After the Lich King's death, an adventurer that successfully helped to create [ Shadowmourne ] finds a [ Sealed Chest ] , containing multiple objects, among them a [ Badge of the Silver Hand ] , and brings it to Uther's soul at Light's Hammer , freed from the grip of Frostmourne.
Uther's ghost in Icecrown Citadel. The ghost of Uther the Lightbringer in his tomb updated in Battle for Azeroth. In the aftermath of Tirion Fordring 's disappearance following the Battle for Broken Shore , Maxwell Tyrosus believed that contacting Uther's spirit would allow them to discover the current whereabouts of the Ashbringer. Through the power of the Light, Maxwell was able to contact Uther, who revealed that they had to hurry if they wished to recover the Ashbringer and that Tirion still clung to life.
Uther then departed, despite Maxwell trying to call him back. As adventurers journey through the Shadowlands , they encounter Uther who is struggling against dark forces that seek to transform him into a symbol of retribution. During the Bastion storyline , Uther is seen among the ranks of the Forsworn , renegade kyrian who fight to retain their memories. When adventurers relive the memories of Lysonia , the lieutenant of Uther's mentor Devos, they find that Uther "the vengeful one" as Lysonia calls him was deliberately kept unaware of the pact with the Jailer , as he was judged "unready".
After the kyrian and their mortal allies rebuild the crest and catch up to Lysonia in the Maw , Uther is horrified to discover that Lysonia is in fact under the thrall of Helya , who in turn is pledged to the Jailer. Lysonia is urged by Helya to take Uther's power to transform herself in order to topple the Archon, Kyrestia the Firstborne. The adventurers are able to stop Lysonia's ritual, and allow Uther to escape.
He asks not to be left behind in the Maw, and thus accompanies the adventurers back to Oribos. During the final confrontation at Elysian Hold , Lysonia reveals that the wound in Uther's soul caused by Frostmourne opened the power of the Maw to her, just as Uther himself arrives and joins the fight against her.
After Lysonia falls, Uther submits to the Archon's mercy, admitting he did not understand what kind of monsters he had served. Uther accepts, saying that he too would like to understand. Uther also confides in the Maw Walker who joined the Kyrian that he regrets what he did to Arthas and rejecting his prior claim that it was justice. Uther was in the process of being escorted out of Elysian Hold by two ascended when King Anduin Wrynn —who had secretly been turned into an unwilling servant of the Jailer—entered the hold to steal the sigil of the Archon.
The sight of Anduin caused the former Lightbringer to reach up and touch the wound on his chest. Uther's soul fragment—the Remnant of Justice —in the Ossuary of the Banished. Thenios concluded that since Uther was killed by a mourneblade , his soul had been shattered into fragments and would not be able to heal until the lost piece was recovered.
During the covenants' campaign in Korthia , the Paragon therefore sent a Maw Walker to obtain the fragment from the Ossuary of the Banished , a vault in the Jailer's tower where he kept soul fragments that Frostmourne had torn from its victims. The hero brought the fragment back to Uther at the Eonian Archives , where Thenios and Polemarch Adrestes were discussing how to create a new kyrian sigil to replace the one Anduin stole from the Archon, something that could not be done without appointing a new Paragon of Loyalty and retaking the Forsworn-occupied Citadel of Loyalty.
Uther suggested that they should proceed "through compromise and understanding" and that he might be of help. Uther tried to connect to his soul fragment, but the ritual failed despite the help of the Maw Walker, Kleia, and Pelagos.
His allies used the Paragon's soul mirror to walk Uther through his memories and help him come to terms with the emotions and truths they contained.
First they helped him relive the day that he became a paladin in Alonsus Chapel and swore to uphold the Three Virtues of respect, tenacity, and compassion, a memory that twisted together with the memory of the Culling of Stratholme and the grief and regret he felt over Arthas. The present-day Uther exclaimed that he should never have convinced the prince to become a paladin and that he was responsible for setting Arthas on the path that led him to slaughter countless innocents, despite Adrestes and Kleia trying to tell him that the prince's betrayal was not his fault.
He stated that, on that day, he had failed to uphold the virtue of compassion by facing Arthas as a foe instead of trying to save him. Afterwards, Pelagos told Uther that he could rid himself of the painful memories in time, but the Lightbringer replied that they served as "a reminder of lessons learned" and that he would never let them go if given the choice. This caused Adrestes to realize that restoring the Citadel of Loyalty was not the right choice for the kyrian and that a new path was needed.
Along with Nikolon and other Forsworn who regretted their alliance with the Maw, Uther joined Adrestes as the polemarch addressed the Archon at Elysian Hold and suggested that Loyalty should be replaced with a new virtue: Devotion. The Archon agreed and declared that they should learn from Uther's example: from then on, all kyrian would be offered a choice between keeping their memories or letting them go. Adrestes would become the Paragon of Devotion, with Kleia serving as his Hand.
While Adrestes, Kleia, and Kynthia worked on rededicating the temple, Uther and Nikolon accompanied the Maw Walker in channeling anima , [43] collecting centurion cores, [44] and convincing Forsworn to rejoin the kyrian with mixed results. Uther took the opportunity to apologize to Nikolon for recruiting him to the Forsworn. Nikolon replied that he had already lost faith in the Archon by the time Uther showed him "the truth", but Uther insisted that Nikolon had suffered because of his actions and that he wouldn't let it happen again.
Uther and the other Forsworn and kyrian subsequently gathered at the Seat of the Archon to witness the ceremony in which Adrestes would be promoted to Paragon and the kyrian sigil would be remade. Eridia —Lysonia's soulbind —confided in Uther that she still grieved for Lysonia, but Uther assured her that she would heal in time, just as he would.
To the Maw Walker, Uther stated that he had let pain and vengeance consume him when he first arrived in Bastion and that he did not know if he could ever forgive himself for what he'd done to Arthas.
However, the hero had started him down the path of healing, one that he had to follow to its end even if it pained him. Finally, Uther thanked the Maw Walker for helping him "find the Light again".
Pelagos added that while some souls might never be forgiven, Uther had shown that they must at least be treated with compassion. After the attack on the Sanctum of Domination , Uther and other covenant representatives were summoned to Keeper's Respite and delivered their respective sigils to the Primus so that he could use them to pursue the Jailer to his destination.
The Lightbringer subsequently stayed at the respite and commented to Maw Walkers that being reunited with the missing part of his soul had caused him to reflect upon the choices he'd made. Uther also reunited with Jaina Proudmoore, whom he had last seen in Stratholme after the culling not counting the time that the other portion of his soul spoke to her in the Halls of Reflection.
The two barely recognized each other at first, with Jaina commenting that becoming a kyrian suited the old paladin. The two shared their memories of Arthas, whom both had loved in their own ways, and Uther advised Jaina that she could choose to leave her painful memories of Arthas behind and instead carry her love forward with her so that it could lend her strength.
Jaina thanked him for the advice and asked him to stay a while so that she could talk more with him. Uther's statue at Stormwind's Cathedral Square after the Cataclysm. Although his body was slain, it was not enough to destroy the great champion of Light that Uther was. People visiting his tomb in Western Plaguelands might be able to see the meaning of the words carved on the marker stone by his tomb, for his spirit does live on, appearing to adventurers, members of the Alliance and Horde alike.
His ghost expresses wisdom; words of gratitude to those who have come to honor his memory, and words of forgiveness to those who would wish harm for him, even in death. Uther is generally viewed as a hero and a martyr who was loyal to his nation, order, and king to the death. Being the creator of the Knights of the Silver Hand , a commander during the Second War and instrumental in rallying the shaken Alliance to victory after the death of Anduin Lothar has immortalized him as one of the greatest knights and holy men ever to live in the eyes of many.
Terran "Justice" Gregory and Deva Marie honored this great hero's memorial. The plaque of the statue reads:. Uther the Lightbringer A righteous Paladin, an honorable man, and a dear friend. You will never be forgotten, Brother. The Scarlet Crusade recovered the Shroud of the Lightbringer as well as other artifacts, that they relocated to the barracks at Tyr's Hand. Korfax assigned an adventurer to recover all the artifacts on behalf of the Argent Crusade.
Uther is the one who signed the official ousting of the traitorous Alteraci nobility. Though zealous and weathered, Uther's eyes show kindness and wisdom. He is Lordaeron's self-appointed defender, but regrets that violence is the only way to solve some problems.
Possessing a rich, commanding voice and great physical strength, Uther is also capable of gentleness and compassion, though he does not suffer fools. He is the epitome of the paladin warrior — a mighty foe to his enemies and a bastion of hope to his allies.
Uther strides directly into melee, placing himself in the center of the most brutal combat. He places himself in danger to spare his allies. He is at his peak against demons and undead, and brings his full array of spells and abilities to bear against these creatures — smites, banishing strikes, power turning, searing light from his hammer, hooks of binding and dispel evil.
He uses lay on hands to blast undead that resist his hammer. Against truly mighty opponents, Uther attacks with his Big Smash feat. He prefers leading others into battle but fights alone if the situation warrants. Uther endangers himself to help others if he must, and is willing to sacrifice himself for others — but he does not do so foolishly, as he knows how valuable he is to Lordaeron. A silver hand emblem rests in a bed of gold design on either side.
