Chapter 2 of the Warcraft III human campaign, The Scourge of Lordaeron.
Uther Lightbringer and Arthas Menethil move against the Blackrock Clan of orcs, who have recently captured citizens from the town of Strahnbrad. Though they quickly build a base and recruit riflemen from smith and enchanter Feanor Steeltoe, Uther and Arthas arrive too late to save the townsfolk, who are sacrificed to the Burning Legion.
Arthas leads an assault against the Blackrock encampment, slaying every orc there. His vengeful fury foreshadows his coming descent into madness.
