y son… the day you were born, the very forests of Lordaeron whispered the name… “Arthas.”

Narrated by the deceased King Terenas Menethil II, the opening cinematic for World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King features Arthas raising the frost wyrm Sindragosa from beneath the frozen crust of Icecrown Glacier. Although the cinematic runs just over three minutes in length, countless hours of creative exploration, brainstorming, modeling, animating, editing, and retouching went into its development.

To shed light on the creative process behind the forging of Blizzard Entertainment’s latest cinematic, the Blizzard Insider presents an exclusive sneak preview of the upcoming book The Cinematic Art of World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King. Available in January, the book will feature over 200 pieces of artwork, detailed write-ups of the lore behind the cinematic, illustrated storybooks, two collectable prints, and behind-the-scenes "making-of" commentary from the trailer’s creators.

So read on, and begin your journey into the creation of Blizzard Entertainment's latest cinematic.
