I noticed… Someone is missing. The one who is known to derail threads with mostly wrong opinions.
Has he finally given up? xD
Somebody hasn’t spent time around cows irl.
Don’t mention them it’s like chanting Bloody Mary in a mirror you’ll make them appear.

Why can’t you be sneaky with hooves? Plenty of animals in the real world are quite sneaky with them. They also learn how to sneak with their own feet, because that’s how things work.
And that’s leaving aside the potentially magical aspect of a rouge’s stealth ability.
Deep, buried within the bowels of Icecrown Citadel, an eerie light begins to emanate. The room, long since forgotten, shows signs of life. Stone scraping on stone, as if a lid being removed… An exhale, slumbering come to an end… Blue eyes slowly sliding open… former hero of the dracthyr, long since forgotten to time, begins to stir…
Poof, lore.
Terrible lore. Your timeline is completely off.
Icecrown glacier did not exist then let alone Icecrown Citadel. They might awake but they wouldn’t awake a DK and they’d find themselves literally buried alive.
No no no.
As some Dracthyr split off to do their own thing and join the infinite so too did some find themselves fanatically interested in the forces of Undeath.
Learning of the destruction of the helm they head to the last place of necromantic power, The Frozen Throne. With their natural ties to magic they find the last vestiges of power strewn throughout the death-imbued glacier and perform a ritual to condense it into a single shard a dagger made of the death ice, with this, new death knights could be made with it. So then they ritualistically sacrifice themselves with the daggerto become new Undead Dracthyr that they can join the Death Knights and learn their power.
THAT at least lines up. It’s not the best but it fits at least decently for just making sh*te up on the spot.
Or they could just start stealing runeblades. Any living person trying to wield the specific type of runeblades used by death knights will gradually have their lives stolen by it, eventually becoming a proper death knight. This is how all second generation DKs were made. This did come with the nasty little side effect of enslaving them to the Lich King, of course. …But there’s no LK anymore.
One might argue this is no longer the case, but we know for a fact third and fourth gen (Acherus) DKs utilize the same type of runeblade. They were simply fast-tracked to death knighthood by being raised from the dead instead of gradually withered by their own blades.
So, tl;dr: some dracthyr, not knowing this about runeblades, decide to take them up. The weapon slowly changes them into death knights.
Or knowingly take them up.
Some madness or other possibly driving them to it I mean look what void did to sarkareth.
A little touch of Deathwing’s residual crazy, maybe.
Some fragment of yoggy whispering or something…
I’ll just assume that you don’t grasp how utterly stupid you have to be to claim something that is completely made up is wrong.
i still like my idea the best:
a dead dracthyr is raised as a DK by two willing DKs and this starts an argument in Acherus creating a divide on whether they should be raising new DKs. its meta accurate.
in terms of a technical scenario creation, it would be cool if they brought back part of the original plan for DKs where you would have to sacrifice a toon. start the scenario with a basic evoker spellkit in a fight where you are guaranteed to lose and die. then next scene is you being raised as a DK. after a bit of RP scene where they have a debate about whether they should be raising new DKs, they let you off the table, give you a runeblade, slap you on the tail and welcome you to the team.
I’ll just assume then you don’t understand how Canon works in the concept of a fictional work.

You’re not completely making something up. You’re telling a story within the confines of a world someone else has made up, and completely ignoring everything about that world therefore rendering your story null amd void.
Part of the original creation of the Scourge was to fight against the Void, since it can’t truly corrupt the undead the same way it can the living. With the void being a big part of the World Soul Saga, I could easily see some Eben Knights figuring out how to make new modern DKs without the Helm in preparation for a war with the Void. Any new race we’ve discovered along the way could easily be added under that auspice.
I do love the idea of the ‘fight and die’ scenario though sadly I can’t see Bliz devoting the resources to it.
No its not, 2nd generation DK’s were willing subjects of the Lich King, they sought him out and he gave them power. He also gave them Runeblades but they were already loyal to him. Falric and Marwin, 2 more of the original DK’s along with Arthas, were loyal to Arthas and chose to follow him.
This is why 2nd gen Death Knights eyes dont glow, they were never dominated. Their souls were eventually bound to the LK, but they werent like the 3rd or 4th who were dominated. Even the player when raising the 4 horsemen was given the power by the Lich King.
There is no more Lich King. That means no more death knights.
Looks like the local scourge of the DK forums has returned. Just ignore it, folks. It’ll move on after a bit.

Even if I move on, it doesnt make you or anyone else right. The information is out there but you guys dont use the internet to put out the right information. You just claim people are wrong, when you in fact are wrong.
The 2nd gen DK’s sought out the Lich King and were loyal to him. The paladins that were helping people in plague ridden areas were shunned by ignorant people thinking they were plague carriers even though they were immune to it. So a few of them went to find the source of the plague in Northrend and eventually ended up failing due to their anger, kind of like you and a few others here that I live in their head rent free.
Taurens being rogues are explained. It was due to a running joke from the playerbase that Blizzard canonized. People were saying that the reason why there are no Tauren rogues is because they are so good at hiding that they are never seen despite being there all along. Blizzard took this and ran with it, again information that can be found if you guys cared at all to move your fingers around in a certain sequence to look it up on the internet. But instead you all would rather argue with others, spouting nonsense, all while being wrong.
Lightforged Warlocks were explained as well. Lightforged DK’s shouldnt exist though since the Lightforged explode when they die.
1st gen DK’s shouldnt even be looked at when talking about Death Knights. Its a whole different thing entirely.
welp, thread’s over.
Quit being hyperbolic. Just because someone posts doesnt mean the thread is over. Maybe if you guys would you know… do a little investigation and research this thread would have been over oh… I dont know… 70 posts ago.
