You may have read on this fine blog about 2 weeks ago that we had a metric buttload of Wrath of the Lich King news. Death Knights. Zones. Instances. Raids. All of this and more was mention, much of which I covered here. All of this got me thinking about a few questions I just had to ask myself. The primary 3 questions will be the basis for a series of articles you can find here starting today.
The first question, when I heard that all you need is a single character who is level 55 in the game and then you can create a death knight on any realm, of any race, is what race I want. Leaked information which can be found on the Wrath of the Lich King wiki, shows all ten of the different race looks for Death Knights. The unique method of a Death Knight, starting at level 55 and only a few levels from Outlands, then Northrend, is that you can start fresh with any race you want. Never rolled a Blood Elf? Here's your chance! Want a taste of the short side? Here's your Gnomie!
I have Draenei, Night Elf, and Human characters. I refuse to roll gnome or Undead. This means that if I want to start new, I have Dwarf, Tauren, Orc, Troll, and Blood Elf which can be fresh, mid to high level content for me. But do I want to start new? I love the lore of the 3 races I have. I love Medros' back story, and even tried my hand at writing a bit of it up, though I failed miserably and have since toss it in the trash.
I love how the Night Elves sundered the world, and while I haven't written it up, I know my Druid was at the events of those times and was one of the first to take up Druidic magics under the teachings of Cenarius. My hunter is relatively new, but he paid close attention to the history of the world, and has vowed to learn from it. My Draenei are less developed, but my Paladin, Telaan, was a student of Kil'Jaeden who barely escaped the transformation to Eredar and sought the refuge of Velen's trusted few.
My Draenei hunter was born on Draenor, barely escaping in the last caravan of the planned survivors to a safe place before the siege of Shattrath City. Telaan and Traluun were bitter rivals as the Draenei tried to rebuild their civilization, their rivalry pushing them into diverse but equally as powerful skills. Telaan was ordered out of the healing ranks when, during a battle with an Orc patrol, he nearly let another Draenei, Traluun, perish. Traluun was only saved by a blessing of the leader of the party.
As you can see, my characters are very well developed, so it would be logical to take one of them into the Death Knight ranks, making them a lost soul who was taken by the Lick King before breaking free. I guess the question is, if I can only make one Death Knight, what race should it be? One I have, or one I want to be? What will your Death Knight be?
