I don't understand few things, first of all, why Arthas wanted to kill his own father and betray his own men and such.. it is because of Frostmourne? And, when he went to kill him, after he did it the guards didn't stop him or anything? Because as u can see in the video the chamber was filled with few guards.
I don't understand how he managed to escape Dalaran after his father's death. So I'm waiting further explanations. :P

Well, it's fairly simple to explain really. Even before Arthas obtained Frostmourne, he had already started turning for the worst. From acting outlandish to his superiors and the major incident at Stratholme, it got worse and worse. Eventually he had dreams about Frostmourne, calling for him, so he took many men and fled to Northrend in search of it.

Once he obtained Frostmourne, he had fallen more under the control of the Lich King (Nerzhul at this time) and was at his bidding. And because he thought his father was trying to stop what he thought was saving his people, he decided to kill him and take his right as king.

Why didn't anybody try and stop him? Well the video doesn't show very much afterward, but I am sure a lot of was shock at what just happened. Most of everyone there was happy to see their prince home, and didn't expect that to happen. Also, that little cut scene occurred in Capital City in Lordaeron, not in Dalaran.

So in short, from the beginning Arthas thought he was doing what he could to save his people. He thought Frostmourne would give him the powers he needed.. And they did, but at a terrible cost... If you ever read the book, you'll see he did a lot more terrible things as well. And once he made it back to Northrend, he found Icecrown Citadel, found Nerzhul and the armor he is imbued in, and put it in. Infusing himself with Nerzhul and becoming one being.

And there's tons of stuff that happens between all that, but hey, you can go read Arthas, an awesome book! Hope this answered some questions~

Here's a question.

How did the Silverwing Sentinels and the Horde WSG place come about? Both of them, and why do they decide to battle each other out in such fashion, when they could easily raid city's?

They fought for resources, if you played WC3 you would witness Hellscream's orcs plundering the night elf forests in order to gain enough recoures to build a base, on which the Sentinels launched furious attacks since they kind of take the forests as sacred.. ever since than the war is being fought between Orcs and Sentinels
