Timeline
c. 20 ADPThe Culling of Stratholme
At Stratholme, Arthas learned that infected grain had already reached the population. He ordered the city purged before its people could rise as undead. Uther refused, and Jaina left him. Arthas continued without them, making the destruction of Mal’Ganis his overriding purpose.

c. 20 ADPThe Price of Frostmourne
Arthas pursued Mal’Ganis to Northrend, where he joined Muradin in the search for Frostmourne. He took the blade despite its warning. Muradin was struck down and believed dead. Arthas gained the power to defeat his enemy, but the sword bound him to the Lich King.
