Frost sharpens their strikes; blood fortifies their bodies; and undeath allows them to erupt in unholy rage in the heat of battle. A thousand atrocities are etched in the eyes of every death knight, and foes who gaze into them too long will feel the warmth pulled from their bodies, replaced with cold steel. Teron Gorefiend , first of the death knights. These soldiers of darkness were created by Gul'dan to replace the slaughtered Warlock clans.
Assembled from the corpses of the Knights of Stormwind slain in the last battles of the First War , these abominations were then instilled with the ethereal essence of the Shadow Council now serve the Horde in a blasphemous state of eternal undeath.
Further empowered with magical energies culled from the slain necrolytes , the death knights wielded an arsenal of necromantic and elemental spells that mete out all but certain death to the enemies of the Horde. The original death knights were created for Orgrim Doomhammer by Gul'dan as powerful soldiers of the Horde. These death knights were created by placing the souls of the slain warlocks of the Shadow Council into the corpses of fallen Stormwind knights , the first of whom was Teron Gorefiend.
Unlike modern death knights of the Scourge, these ghoulish fiends were not battle-hardened warriors; they were insidious necromancers who possessed superior intellect and tremendous magical power. They often favored the use of terror tactics and reanimated the corpses of enemy soldiers who fell in battle to serve them as mindless undead minions.
Most of these death knights were destroyed during and after the Second War , either killed by the Alliance or transformed into liches by Kil'jaeden. Arthas , first of the Lich King 's death knights.
Death Knights were once virtuous defenders of Humanity. However, once the Paladin ranks were disbanded by the failing Alliance , many of these holy warriors traveled to the quarantined lands to ease the suffering of those left within the plague-ridden colonies.
Though the Paladins were immune to disease of any kind, they were persecuted by the general populace who believed that they had been infected by the foul plague. A small band of Paladins, embittered by society's cruelty, traveled north to find the plague's source. These renegade Paladins succumbed to bitter hatred over the course of their grueling quest.
When they finally reached Ner'zhul 's icy fortress in Northrend they had become dark and brooding. The Lich King offered them untold power in exchange for their services and loyalty.
The weary, vengeful warriors accepted his dark pact, and although they retained their humanity, their twisted souls were bound to his evil will for all time. Bestowed with black, vampiric Runeblades and shadowy steeds , Death Knights serve as the Scourge 's mightiest generals. Years after the destruction of Draenor , the immensely powerful Lich King created a new breed of death knights: malevolent, rune-wielding warriors of the Scourge.
The first and greatest of these was the Lich King's chosen champion, Prince Arthas Menethil , once a mighty paladin of the Silver Hand , who sacrificed his soul to claim the runeblade Frostmourne in a desperate bid to save his people.
The rest were primarily made up of other fallen warriors or paladins whose souls were twisted and bound to the will of the Frozen Throne. Despite the heavy costs of free will, some powerful mortals were intrigued by the promise of immortality and pledged their souls freely into the Lich King's service to achieve it. In the years since Arthas shattered the Frozen Throne and merged with the Lich King, the power and fury of the death knights only grew.
These unrelenting crusaders of the damned eagerly awaited the Lich King's command to unleash their fury on Azeroth once again. A hero You stood boldly against the Shadow and purchased another dawn for the world But the evil you fought is not so easily banished; the victory you claimed, not so easily held. For now, the specter of death looms over the world yet again and it has found new champions to bring about its final reign. Knights of darkness, wielding runes of death and destruction , bound by the will of the Lich King.
This is the hour of their ascension! This is the hour of your dark rebirth Death knights are the former champions of the Scourge. They fortify their bodies and drain life energy itself with the power of blood, sharpen their blades and strike powerfully with the power of frost, and raise the dead while striking with the unholy fervor granted by undeath.
They are engines of destruction chosen by the Undead Scourge to serve the almighty will of the Lich King. The playable death knights are the uniformly undead [9] members of the Death Knights of Acherus , a regiment consisting of hundreds [10] of death knights stationed at the necropolis Acherus: The Ebon Hold under the direct command of the Lich King and Highlord Darion Mograine.
These death knights were set loose upon the Scarlet Enclave , culminating in the flight of the newly-formed Scarlet Onslaught to Northrend, and the subsequent massacre in which the death knights decimated Scarlet reinforcements. However, when Tirion emerged to defend Light's Hope Chapel, along with the paladins of the Silver Hand and the Argent Dawn , he unleashed his holy fury against the invading armies of undead.
The Light overwhelmed the might of the Scourge, immediately killing all the undead forces in the immediate area, while Darion Mograine and his death knights knew defeat. The Ebon Blade sent many of its freed death knights to their respective factions — Alliance or Horde.
They also played a considerable role in defeating the Legion during their invasion several years later, moving Acherus to the Broken Isles and accepting the leadership of Bolvar Fordragon , the new Lich King, in exchange for his assistance in holding back the Scourge and helping them in their efforts against the Legion.
Death knights of formerly Alliance races could potentially make individual cases in order to join the Forsaken under Sylvanas Windrunner. For example, if a worgen death knight proved his loyalty beyond a doubt, he may be allowed to serve under Sylvanas.
However, this is considered extremely uncommon, and no known undead worgen character has yet to join the Horde in the lore. These are some of the racial traits relevant to death knights:.

Through the death knight-specific quests in this necropolis and the surrounding areas, the character learns to master the power of the death knight and learns to use this new power for the will of the Lich King.
Quests will take them outside the necropolis and into an area within the Scarlet Enclave. The term "hero class" is commonly misunderstood to mean that the class is more powerful than other classes. The term instead signifies a unique playstyle and experience, [26] as well as denoting a class of heroes which start at an already "heroic" or "veteran" level, with an experience and gear to match.

Using certain abilities exhausts one or more runes, starting a cooldown of 10 seconds. Only two runes can recharge at once, regardless of how many have been used. In addition, whenever the death knight uses a rune ability, it builds up a certain amount of Runic Power usually 10 Runic Power per Rune spent.
All abilities that use Runic Power use a set amount for example, Death Coil always uses Blood death knights primarily focus on building enough runic power to consistently self-heal through attacks. Frost death knights deal large amounts of damage through powerful strikes and use of runic power.

These are independent of the rune resource system. In general, the death knight can be considered a hybrid melee class that combines damage dealing and tanking, somewhat akin to Warriors.
