Hello, was just running a dungeon with my friend (blood dk) and I (resto druid). We were wondering if in lore can a deathknight be healed with nature magic from a druid? So thought I would throw up here and see.
I think canonically it’s Shadow that heals the undead. I don’t know that they’ve said that they definitely can’t be healed by anything else though.
That said, I believe that Nature magic is far more likely to amicably help a creature of Undeath or Fel than Light is. I feel like Light for the Undead or Demon Hunters would be more of a cauterization than a caress.
The druid sat down with their friend. It was an unlikely pairing, at least outside looking in-- a thing of undeath, and another that wished for the cycle of life to be uninterrupted.
The Tauren leaned over their Orc friend, tending to the wounds. Quietly and gently, they mended them with nature’s magic, and as the Orc sat there, their eyes lost in visages of the recent battle, suddenly flicked to their friend.
“How does it work?” the Orc asked. “How does the essence of nature mend death?”
The Tauren paused their work, smiling gently and standing up to stretch.
“Nature is a confluence of many things,” the Tauren replied, their voice resonant. "Nature is a flower growing from a seed, and leaves covering the soil to insulate it. It is the cancerous knot that forms in the tree, or the disease that a tree perceives in bark beetles.
“It is comprised of the things that we can’t see, like rabies that would devastate one species and yet not affect another, like an opossum. It is the toxicity of Deathbloom when ingested, but the same thing allows it to be left alone because other animals recognize the pattern of the petals.”
The Druid then continued tending to their friend. “A Druid’s job, in understanding balance, is knowing how all of these things work against one another, and work together. We understand disease, we understand necrosis. Understanding these things became imperative as those from the Citadel came to anyone, seeking help.”
The Orc smiled gently. “You’re not countering death,” they said. “You’re simply applying your understanding of it.”
The Tauren nodded. “Balance in all things, even in death.”
Death Knights are walking fertilizer heaps, so there is synergy.
