FOREWORD What originally started out as an informative reply and quickly grew too long for a single post has now amassed into this extensive guide to Death Knight Roleplay - now with a shiny new update! This guide will attempt to cover every aspect of roleplaying a Death Knight, from the most basic to the most in depth. Some of the things I address because I have witnessed them first hand, and other things are here because people have asked about them. All my sources are cited at the end of the guide, and I've tried to make clear what is lore, what is speculation, and what is personal preference. Many thanks to the people who wrote the lore, the people who collected the lore on wikis and in other roleplay guides on the forums, and the people who shared their thoughts and opinions with me on this topic. I will try to credit all of you at the end as well, but please forgive me if memory fails and I miss a name! Table of Content: 1. Facts about the IC Class 2. The Story by Blizzard 3. Faction Alliegence 4. Making Your Character Within This 5. Races 6. Being a DK after the Lich King's Fall 7. Being a DK in Legion 8. Specialisations 9. Abilities 10. Saronite 11. Miscellaneous 12. Useful Tips and Advice 13. Sources NOTE: The number of posts I originally reserved for this guide originally failed to live up to the sheer volume of information surrounding this topic - a lot of which gets asked, answered and pointed to in the ever-growing comments. So if the guide itself does not answer your questions, go ahead and check out the comments! Since this latest update to the guide, I find I have either become much more space efficient or Blizzard have upped the limit on post sizes. Either way, you'll see a lot of now empty posts near the end of this guide which I intend to try to fill out with the compiled results of discussions in the comments. That... will take a long time to get through, though, but I felt the main guide deserved this update now at least. Enjoy!

I really think Death Knights need the skeleton models from BFA and a more non-goofy looking ghoul pet. Something menacing and evil. I understand that WoW ...

Introduced in the Wrath of the Lich King expansion, Death Knights are World of Warcraft's first hero class. When the Lich King’s control of his death knights was broken, his former champions sought revenge for the horrors committed under his command. After their vengeance was won, the death knights found themselves without a cause and without a home. One by one they trickled into the land of the living in search of a new purpose.

Death knights, often abbreviated to DK, are melee fighters that wield dark magic and runeforged weapons. The death knight is the first hero class of World of Warcraft, introduced in the Wrath of the Lich King expansion. Each death knight begins at level 55 in a phased, instanced area known as Plaguelands: The Scarlet Enclave. Originally, only one death knight could be created per realm per account, but this restriction was lifted in patch 5.3. The requirement of already having a level 55+ character in order to create a death knight was lifted in patch 6.1.
