Introducing Death Knight Lore Week
What is it?
Like Shark Week on the Discovery Channel… but better, because it’s about death knights.
Last year, I put together a week-long info lore dump on druid shapeshifting after getting inspired to do research into the vast, vague, and sometimes contradictory history of druid lore. Although it’s been a little over a year since “Druid Week,” I decided I wanted to do another one and research a specific class in an attempt to both clear up any confusion about their lore and communicate some pretty cool lore facts along the way. After putting a vote to the masses, you guys chose death knights… so, without further ado, for every single one of the next six days, I will be posting popular questions (and my answers) about death knights!
What are some of the questions you’re answering?
To give you a taste of what’s to come in the next week, I will be answering questions like (in no particular order):
How much free will do death knights have under the Lich King?
How do different races and cultures view the death knights?
Who are the Four Horsemen?
How do each of the death knight generations differ from one another?
How are death knights’ bodies different from those of other undead like the Forsaken?
What is the exact nature of the death knights’ curse to inflict pain on others?
If you find you have additional questions you want me to answer, definitely send me a message and I’ll see what I can do!
As always, I am not an absolute authority on any of these topics and readily admit I have not meticulously combed through all of the relevant source material (although I really tried my best). Therefore, if you see I’ve missed something or you want to contribute your own input on these topics, you are more than welcome to do so - in fact, I encourage it.
Thanks and see you all during Death Knight Lore Week!
