Chapter 1 of the Human Campaign

Act I "The Scourge of Lordaeron" in Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos.

Recent orc uprisings in southern Lordaeron have forced the Alliance to take decisive measures. To contain the orcish threat, King Terenas has sent two of the realm's greatest paladins - his son, Prince Arthas, and the legendary Uther the Lightbringer to deal with the orcs once and for all.

Uther the Lightbringer

Welcome, Prince Arthas. The men and I are honored by your presence.

Arthas

Can the formalities, Uther. I'm not king yet. It's good to see you.

Uther the Lightbringer

You too, lad. I'm pleased that King Terenas sent you to help me.

Arthas

Father still hopes your experience and patience may rub off on me.

Uther the Lightbringer

It is a father's right to dream, isn't it?

Arthas

Look, here's where we stand. Our scouts have confirmed there is an orc encampment hidden somewhere over the next ridge.

Uther the Lightbringer

As I suspected...

Arthas

It gets worse. They're preparing to attack the nearby village of Strahnbrad. As far as we know, the village is completely defenseless.

Uther the Lightbringer

I need to move against the orcs' base immediately. Can you handle Strahnbrad's defense on your own?

Arthas

Of course, Uther. Don't worry about me.

Uther the Lightbringer

Good. Meet me at the orc camp once you've saved the village. Be careful, Arthas.

As Arthas approached the gates of Strahnbrad, a man ran outside fleeing from Blackrock Orcs.

Dean: Save us!

Grunt: He's escaping! Kill him!

(a Blackrock Orc Grunt kills Dean)

Arthas: Damn! The attack has already begun! To arms, my brothers!
