Transcript of the mission[]
Arthas: What trickery is this? Mal'Ganis! I don't know how you survived, but I will...
Tichondrius: Calm yourself, Prince Arthas. I am Tichondrius. Like Mal'Ganis, I am a dreadlord, but I am not your enemy in truth. I've come to congratulate you.
Arthas: Congratulate me?
Tichondrius: By killing your own father and delivering this land to the Scourge, you have passed your first test. The Lich King is pleased with your... enthusiasm.
Arthas: I've damned everyone and everything I've ever loved in his name, and I still feel no remorse. No shame, no pity.
Tichondrius: The runeblade that you carry was forged by the Lich King and empowered to steal souls. Yours was the first one it claimed.
Arthas: Then I'll make do without one. What is the Lich King's will?
Tichondrius: The Cult of the Damned must be rallied once again. Many of the acolytes have been in hiding from the populace. Once you've rallied them, I will give you further instructions.
- ...hard to understand quote by Tichondrius?...
The mission ends with the dreadlord congratulating Arthas on his job, and assigning him his next "undertaking".
Tichondrius: Well done, death knight. The Cult is nearly assembled.
Arthas: Lordaeron lies in ashes. What good are these cultists to us now?
Tichondrius: They will aid you in your next undertaking.
Arthas: And what's that?
Tichondrius: You will go to Andorhal and recover the remains of the acolytes' former master, the necromancer, Kel'Thuzad.
