Can darkness prevail or will the light shine upon all?
World of Warcraft's upcoming expansion, Wrath of the Lich King, will be introducing us to a new "hero" class known as a Death Knight. Death Knights will start at level fifty five and have their very own starting area to introduce them to the world of Azeroth. We've gone into the beta and came back with the gritty details on where these once noble knights sully their honor and literally join the dark side. While you're here be sure to look at all of our other previews for Wrath of the Lich King, including even more coverage of the awesome upcoming class, the Death Knight.
When you first start you're basically standing toe to toe with the big man. The Lich King, formerly known as Prince Arthas (and if lore is to hold, you've also got a mix of Ner'zhul in there), stands ready to welcome you into the dark side. He kicks things out off by instructing you to go meet Instructor Razuvious (one of the bosses from the old Naxxramas). From there you'll make yourself your own runeblade. Afterwards you return to the Lich King who allows you to use the "The Eye of Acherus" to look at the Scarlet Crusade's city of New Avalon and analyze it for the upcoming attack.
Our Death Knight Starting Area Preview is the place to find out all of the good stuff about the upcoming Death Knights.
