Description
Pretty convinced this is what I am going to make with the Arthas model. This story isn't made up, it's actually from the Arthas: Rise of the Lich King book. You may have to do a little bit of imagination between some frames.
To be more specific with the story here, Arthas encounters Matthias Lehner, a manifestation of his former self, representing his humanity. Within Arthas's mind, there is conflict between he and Ner'zhul. Ner'zhul is telling Arthas to kill the boy, and Arthas tries to resist. Arthas ends up killing Matthias Lehner, and to try to cease the Lich King from persisting, Arthas kills himself as well. On a side note, the book mentions their souls are both absorbed into Frostmourne, as with anyone else who gets killed by it. Ner'zhul then takes complete control of Arthas's body, and goes into a deep sleep for 4 years, bringing it to the start of WotLK.
My depiction of Matthias Lehner is in the top right frame. I attempted to make a young version of Arthas before he became a Knight of the Silver Hand.

I actually never read it yet; a friend told me the ending the way I drew it here, so it's not my misinterpretation.

To be honest, Arthas killing Ner'zhul and himself (essentially) seems really unimaginative on Blizzard's part, in my opinion. Seems to me that they just want to kill him off.

To begin... it wasn't Blizzard who wrote RotLK. It was Christie Golden, with Blizzard approval.
Next, Egrem has it correct. Arthas battled Ner'zhul in their mind and came out dominant. He didn't kill himself, but he did carve out his heart so as to remove himself from all ties with his humanity. The real Arthas has been long dead, his soul sucked into Frostmourne the second he claimed it. The Lich King is, in truth, not Ner'zhul or Arthas. The Lich King is the Lich King and holds no remorse or love for either half.

-MOAR SPOILERSSSS-
the good Arthas wasnt 100% dead... a part of him was still alive and hold the scourge back from destroying azeroth... his 'goodself' is shown in the ingame scence'The fall of the lich king'

I guess our definition of "dead" differs. He was dead in so much as that his soul no longer inhabited or controlled his body.

See, this is why I didn't like the end of Fall of the Lich King... I mean, the guy cut out his -heart- to get rid of his humanity. Tirion said he had nothing to redeem, no trace left of Arthas in him. Suddenly, we break Frostmourne and he's all waa waa for papa. Honestly, have a badass villain die with some dignity sometime. Dying breath should have been a promise that he'd be back to bring the apocalypse.

well, but when frostmourne broke it realised all souls - also arthas' didnt it?

I guess that could work. It's still kind of "meh".

So, Arthas killed a representation of himself, and then killed himself, hoping that would stop the Lich King? ... Great story, the WoW people made.
