WOW Insider

Origins

Lore-wise, WoW DKs will be based on Warcraft III Death Knights, as exemplified by Arthas Menethil. These DKs are substantively different than the DKs from Warcraft II. Rumor has it that WoW's DKs arose as Arthas's followers, and the player-created ones are knights that have bent themselves away from Arthas's control, like the Forsaken (Undead player characters) from the Scourge.
