Just as the blade rends flesh, so must power scar the spirit."
If you're a fan of WarCraft III, Frostmourne should be a name of no stranger to you. It's the Runeblade of the evil Lich King Ner'zhul, which ensnared the soul of Prince Arthas Menethil into killing his own father and destroying his kingdom. In Frozen Throne, the expansion set of WarCraft III, Prince Arthas ultimately defeated Illidan Stormrage, an Elven Demon Hunter, and shattered the icy prison of Ner'zhul, sealing his soul with the Lich King forever.
Prince Arthas sitting on the Frozen Throne was one of my favorite wallpapers several years back.

No matter how evil the Runeblade is said to be in the story of the game, its design is truly one of a kind. The huge goat skull on the chappe, thorns and spikes on the edges, and rune symbols down the fuller really make this blade look extremely cool. Even after years of not playing the game anymore, I can still remember clearly the scene where Arthas pulls out Frostmourne and kneels in front of his father. The closeup of Frostmourne after that is just plain awesome.
