“An ode to one who has fallen. Time and events have left it unclear whether the song refers to the former prince of Lordaeron or his beloved steed.”
“Invincible” is a music piece that was released on the World of Warcraft 5 Year Anniversary: BattleCry, on January 22, 2010, as an Alliance reward. It was later included on the World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King – Fall of the Lich King Soundtrack, available exclusively at BlizzCon 2010. The song largely revolves around a recurring lyrical leitmotif, “An Karanir Thanagor, Mor Ok Angalor. Mor Ok Gorum Palahm Raval” which can also be heard in the closing cinematic of Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, in the opening cinematic and ending cinematic of World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King.
Common lyrics;
Comilito equinus
orbitas lacuna.
G’odhun al korokh
boda uhm.
Boda uhm ron’kashal
detrmentum a do sola diatas.
An Karanir Thanagor,
Mor Ok Angalor.
Mor Ok Gorum
Pala Ah’m Ravali Ah’m.
English translation:
‘O steed, (my) stalwart companion
I mourn your loss
Even in death, (you were the) first in battle,
(And the) last to retreat, even so in death
Alas, I have lost a part of myself.
Long live the king
May his reign last forever
May his strength
Fail him never.
Story:
Invincible was the steed of Arthas Menethil, both in life and death. He was the skeletal steed that Arthas rode throughout Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos and Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne.
Invincible was born to the mare Brightmane on the Balnir Farmstead in Tirisfal Glades, in the winter of the year Stormwind fell. Prince Arthas, then nine years old, was present when he was born, and was given the horse by the Balnir family, who bred horses used by the royal family. The horse had a white coat, different from the usual Balnir stock, which normally had gray coats. Arthas had considered naming the horse “Snowfall” or “Starlight”, but in the informal tradition of Lordaeron knights and nobles naming their steeds after a quality (Uther’s was “Steadfast”, King Terenas’ “Courageous”), he named the colt “Invincible”.
Ten years later in winter, before Arthas was inducted into the Knights of the Silver Hand, Arthas’ exertion in the numbing cold resulted in a crippling injury to his beloved Invincible. Too far from help and unable to heal the stricken horse, Arthas was forced to kill him in order to relieve his pain. He was buried on the grounds of the Balnir Farmstead at Arthas’ request. Invincible’s death was one of the events that inspired Arthas to become a paladin.
After the fall of Lordaeron years later, Arthas – now a death knight – ran directly from Lordaeron after murdering his father, to the Balnir Farmstead where Invicible was buried. With the power of Frostmourne, Arthas resurrected the horse as his undead steed. Now fully living up to his name, Invincible could become a spectre and disappear, to be resummoned by Arthas at any time.
During the Scourge’s siege on the Sunwell, Anasterian Sunstrider confronted Arthas in single combat, severing Invincible’s forelegs with his runeblade, Felo’melorn, to dismount him. Witnessing Invincible’s injuries brought on a surge of memories and sent Arthas into a rage, during which he shattered Felo’melorn and struck down Anasterian. This time, however, Arthas was able to necromantically repair the injuries. It is likely that Invincible still serves as his master’s steed, even after Arthas became the new Lich King, though Sindragosa has also been referred to as his mount.
