Sun King's Salvation

In the sinister confines of Castle Nathria, souls are being tortured not to redeem their sins, but to amplify them. The prideful Prince Kael'thas has been burdened with the sins of others, and his pain and hatred are channeled to make him a powerful weapon. This has imperiled his soul like no other, and it must be saved--if only to keep it from being unleashed upon the Shadowlands.

Abilities & Strategy

Overview

Kael'thas starts in a weakened state and needs assistance to bring him back to full strength. However, Sire Denathrius's forces continue to pour in, determined to stop your attempts at redeeming Kael'thas's soul. Upon Kael'thas reaching 45% and 90% health, a Shade of Kael'thas manifests, suspending everyone's ability to heal Kael'thas. This Shade of Kael'thas enters the arena and engages the raid until it is defeated. Inflicting damage to the Shade of Kael'thas also heals Kael'thas himself.

The Council of Blood

The Council of Blood presides over courtly functions in Revendreth. Castellan Niklaus is a strict military commander with an indomitable will and impenetrable armor.
