First a Troll Paladin raid boss and now this Death Knight. Phase 4 or beyond could potentially be wild.

They had a Tauren rogue in phase 1 and Xalathath pretty much every phase. It’s just cross marketing for retail.
Cohesive lore is now marketing?
I mean the Xal’atath stuff got me peaked enough to check out some lore dives on retail stuff I missed
Yeah man I posted something about them bring DK in later and how they could do it. Which was at lvl 55 you sack one of your toon and it turns in to a DK. That would be great but people just come in saying NOPE cant Not in LORE. Then I point out the DKs in the story now. lol
Lore wise, I am excited that player can turn one of the characters into a DK, but the thought that I will lose one of my character pains me a lot.
Initially, I would strongly vote for a DK class in SOD, but seeing how Blizz team has handled SOD, I just dont think they can get it done well, and I would settle for less if they just add some DK theme abilities to classes in SOD.
Furthermore, he’s likely not just some random Death Knight. Rather, he’s likely the paladin from Warcraft III, Sage Truthbearer, who appears in the Undead campaign’s second mission. He is the second paladin to die to Arthas in Andorhal. Sage Truthbearer is in the Warcraft III game files as a “Gregory Edmunson,” and this, combined with his title and backstory, gives me reason to infer that Gregory is likely Sage Truthbearer the paladin.
He is likely in Felwood as a vestige of Arthas’ army who ventured there in the Night Elf campaign.
Really makes you wonder if in later phases they’ll continue various small storylines and characters present in Warcraft III but not in WoW.
