{{novel-section}}
 
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 [[House of Menethil|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 the Lightbringer|Uther]]'s was "Steadfast", [[Terenas Menethil II|King Terenas]]' "Courageous"), he named the colt "Invincible".<ref>''[[Arthas: Rise of the Lich King]]'', 26</ref>
 
 
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.<ref>''[[Arthas: Rise of the Lich King]]'', 53-55</ref>

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.<ref>''[[Arthas: Rise of the Lich King]]'', 195</ref> Now fully living up to his name, Invincible could become a spectre and disappear, to be resummoned by Arthas at any time.<ref>''[[Arthas: Rise of the Lich King]]'', 269</ref>
 
 
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.

[[Image:Invincible.jpg|thumb|Invincible's open grave.]]
 
 
In ''World of Warcraft'', Invincible's empty grave can be found at the [[Balnir Farmstead]] in [[Tirisfal Glades]]:
 
{{book||content=
 
INVINCIBLE
 
 
Beloved steed of Prince Arthas Menethil
 
 
Loyal and great of heart in life, may you find peace in death.
 
 
Pure streams and green pastures, devoted friend.}}
 
 
The open grave was introduced in [[Patch 3.0.2]], ''Echoes of Doom'', but went unnoticed until just before the [[Zombie Infestation]] phase of the [[Scourge Invasion]], which heralded the release of ''[[World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King]]''. However, ''[[Arthas: Rise of the Lich King]]'' indicates that the grave had already been open for several years.
 
 
When defeated "in his strongest form" <ref>http://blue.mmo-champion.com/1/22748778637-invincible-rising.html</ref> on [[heroic mode|heroic difficulty]] in 25-player mode, the [[Lich King (Icecrown Citadel tactics)|Lich King]] will drop Invincible as a flying mount called the [[Invincible Charger]].<ref>http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/underdev/3p3/invincible.xml</ref>

==Music==
 
On January 22, 2010 a music piece titled "Invicible" was released on the [http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/wowanniversary/battlecry WoW 5 Years Anniversary Battlecry Mosaic]:
 
:''"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."''
 
 
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 [[The Ascension|closing cinematic]] of ''[[Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne]]'' and in the [[O Thanagor|opening cinematic]] of ''[[World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King]].''
