They are cold as ice. Not only that. They are willing to sacrifice our love.

Is there anything canon to suggest that it’s unique to 3rd gen? Not to mention blood dks get a talent called Veteran of the Third War. It’s entirely possible that some playable DKs are second gen and I’m pretty sure Darion is second gen yet explicitly suffers from the hunger.
I like Grabbag’s answer. We are monsters, and monstrous, but we are mostly on the side of whoever gives us a square deal. We’ll never be farmers, we want conflict and thrive on it. As long as everyone understands that, we’re fairly safe to be around. As for the time we were under Arthas control, we did evil but weren’t really responsible for our actions. Lawful neutral…when it’s convenient. I’ll buy that. Maybe Chaotic Neutral… I like that.
The world is a wondrous place with myriad shades of gray.
I’m not sure I’d list them as chaotic neutral. They pretty strictly adhere to their order and have a very rigid hierarchy. It’s not like rogues or hunters where they sort of do what they want. The order says jump, the knight asks how high.

Beauty maybe skin deep, but evil goes clean to the bone

Probably I was just thinking of this character, he’s pretty rowdy.
DK’s are always evil, because the walking dead can never ever be good.
Just a heavy goth really. There existence is almost as elemental as Shamanism in the great scheme of Azeroths world.
I suspect a DKs moral quandary is whether they can accept a life with the living again or submit the totality of their calling of being a death knight much more akin to what Arthas was like.
Ultimately they serve at the H&As behest for the LKs betrayal but I suspect that given the right amount of leverage they would leave them should something better come along.
So when are you gonna kick the Forsaken out of the Horde?
To the topic: I feel it may be dependent on the DK Him/Herself. Both of my DKs, I never felt the urge to go full edgelord; so I never did the “kill all the Red Dragons” part of the Class Mount quest line. I just ran in, grabbed the book and ran out. And yes, I did the questline twice because I loved the DK Class Hall Campaign. (still wish we could have risen Tirion Foldring as a DK too)

That’s the next expansion after Shadowlands.
Or perhaps like fifty layers of shadow ?

Yes, the 3rd gens were from archerus when you start the dk starter zone.
The addiction comes from the blade itself, which you cannot just toss away, but anyways, the veterans of tye third war doesnt mean anything.
Just means whcih state they got you from.
The scourge know how to preserve bodies and so on. But the 2nd gen dks are different from the third gen ones you see.
Are because no matter what, they are undead.
The 3rd gens are mostly living but partially undead (except for the forsaken ones but i assume they got a ghoul cannibal trait in em.)
I also believe its not also out of the question that they could improve there older deathknights but than again mograine is not that old either but he is powerful too.
He was probably made commander after they decided to make the necropolis acherus.
For the right price I can be what ever you want.

Thanks for explaining this to me, I had no idea.
That’s… just not true. The hunger is intrinsic to the death knight. In Legion they picked up unique items that had nothing to do with their initial raising even if you assume that canonically death knights canonically only use their original weapons from their time in the Scourge.
It does if it means you’re a second generation death knight considering it would make no sense for an incredibly important passive be named for your character’s backstory from before they became a death knight.
I asked for a canon citation on this. We’ve never seen anything suggesting the third generation of death knights are unique and different from the second as far as the magics used in their creation or their abilities.
Especially since Mograine, who was the commander of the Ebon Blade before the PC took over in Legion, is second generation. As are important members of the order like Koltira and Thassarian.
I’m not bad…
I’m just rendered that way.
