The short answer: no.

The long answer: Sorta, just a little bit. Our generation of Death Knights draw their power from their rune blades. Their rune blades are imbued with rune magic which is a type of arcane magic. That said, they use the runes to power their frost, unholy and blood magic. Death Knights are actually powerless without these runes.

So given that Venthyr are undead beings of the Shadowlands and Death Knights manipulate similar magics, it would be safe to assume that there would be some overlap between the two. At the very least, they use spells from the same school of magic but draw their power from different sources, Venthyr from anima and Death Knights from their rune blades.

Venthyr don’t use Blood… They use Death…

Blood Death Knights use Blood Magic.

Blood is tortured Life Magic so Blood Death Knights use Life Magic not Death Magic for the most part.
