The entire spire counts as the Frozen Throne, the area just around the spire is also known as the Throne Chamber, and Icecrown Citadel may be the fortified rift as a whole. The rift may be so large the entire spire is below average ground level. This would be understandable if the size of the rift created by the impact with the Glacier was ridiculous. The above description from Lands of Mystery may seem confusing, as images of the Throne Chamber obviously depict a spire with the Frozen Throne at the top. This throne is the remains of the block of ice that first brought Ner’zhul to Azeroth, the same block that held him prisoner until Arthas freed the ancient orc shaman and merged with him. At the bottom of the rift is the Frozen Throne, the heart of the Scourge and the Lich King’s personal seat. All manner of undead dwell here, including zombies, wraiths and beings composed of cold energy. The Scourge creatures move silently from one problem to another, focused on their tasks. It has no decorations, no furs or rugs, no fires, nothing to provide comfort or warmth. Not surprisingly, Icecrown Citadel is a cold, unforgiving place. Scourge forces lurk down there, and they have carved levels into either side of that massive split and created bridges, walkways and even solid floors across the gap. The glacier is split, creating a deep fissure.
Most of the Citadel lurks below the surface. įrom the name one would assume Icecrown Citadel was an enormous fortress planted on the glacier, with thick walls, sturdy guard towers, and massive front gates. Upon which sits the Lich King, ruler of the scourge. It left a gigantic throne in its place thus creating the Frozen Throne. The merging created such a large explosion that a large portion of the glacier was blown away.
Here the Lich King remained until Arthas Menethil freed him and the two merged in Arthas' body. Ner'zhul's prison slammed into the glacier. The name of Icecrown became infamous when Kil'jaeden hurled the Lich King back into the mortal world.
