Kel'Thuzad is many things. Necromancer. Teacher. Advisor. Former Raid Boss. Trusted friend and vizier to the Crystal Empire's Royal Couple. But in all his experience, he has never had the opportunity to attend court. In this small side-story to the Crystal Vizier, the Archlich finally gets his chance to show his... methods.
Could you at least elaborate on Shining's Armor? How did he go from looking so green during Sombra's invasion, (forgetting that his talent was shielding and he might be needed to tag in for Cadance at some point during the siege the ex-tyrant was laying, and trying to lead a charge with just the bearers comes to mind of tactical mistakes made) to being an absolute boss (and apparently mastering Thum'um).
6594430 Shining Armor's ascent into this position is explained somewhat in the story The Crystal Vizier. I'd recommend at least reading the first chapter to make sense of it.
Aside from needing a bit of spelling and grammar editing, this was a pretty decent one shot.
I saw this story, and started reading it, since I have read(so far) all of The Crystal Vizier. It has an explanation for some of the stuff that has happened in that story, like now, I know that Shining will someday reside in the Frozen North, weather on a Frozen Throne or in a castle, I don't know. I also can guess that Kel'Thuzad rose quite a few undead, that will follow Shining. I also know that Kel' will take the appearance of a earth pony. No idea who the skulls on Shining's armor(see what I did there?) are, but I am guessing undead, not pony's he killed.
Ironically nobles in real life were constantly sucking up to the king. Usually when things got so bad for the peasants they rebelled it was actually due to bad monarchs and the peasants sided with the nobles. France is a distinct exception thanks to the nobles spending too much time sucking up. I suppose this is because most nobles in real life were practically indoctrinated from birth on the concept that their duty is to ensure the subjects sworn to them were protected, fed, and that there was enough set aside to ensure their survival through hard times such as bad harvest (hence, the in-kind taxation). How they lived encouraged selfishness but it was rarely enough to outweigh the responsibilities they had been conditioned to perform. Fictional stories like to greatly exaggerate the nobles.
Well, that's it for the Crystal Empire. I see where this is going. The Prince returns from the Frozen North wearing armor they did not recognize him in. And the Helm of Dominion. That, too.
Frostmourne is a bastard-sword. A broadsword with the hilt/haft/handle(?) for either one and a half hands or two hands (Frostmourne is for two-hands). This is my favorite kind of sword because it is easy to wield with one hand but you can apply power with two hands whenever needed without the slowness of a greatsword. Well, in real life, anyway.

The original spell for turning a living being into a lich was first used on and designed for orcs. When Ner’zhul was sealed inside the frozen throne by Kil’jaeden, several of his closest advisors were transformed into liches, to help enforce his rule as the Lich King. As such, the appearance of all of the liches that served under the lich king were much more reminiscent of orc skeletons than humans.
Ever noticed that all liches had gigantic hands, and crazy large teeth and tusks?
The skeleton that comprises a lich is not their own, by the way. The magic binding them to their phylactery creates one for them, similar to a solid hologram.

Huh, always wondered how they got huge horns, teeth like box cutters and three meters of skellington out of the diminiutive Kel's rotting bones.
Nothing like a lich to get things rolling.
