Where you hear it

cs_arthas_greeting04.ogg is one of the greetings Prince Arthas speaks to the party in the Culling of Stratholme, a Wrath dungeon in the Caverns of Time. The dungeon drops players into the moment Arthas decides to purge the plague-ridden city, after Uther and Jaina refuse to follow him. The 'cs' prefix marks Culling of Stratholme voice files. Here Arthas is still a paladin of the Silver Hand, which makes his calm tone all the more unsettling. The line is under three seconds.
