Probably the same way Allied Races work, they go talk to Bolvar.
Bolvar is mia
The Lich King wasn’t the only one who could create DKs. But he was the one who authorized them to be made.
I imagine some are still being made, just not under the auspices of the Ebon Blade, and that could be a very bad thing.
Not how the light works
If you could curse rocks to Undeath the scourge would have been even scarier then they already were.
Just plague that mountain over there lads.
I mean they kind of did look at all of icecrown its pretty dead
It’s gross, but the rocks don’t rise to serve the scourge. A good power-wash and they’ll be good as new.
Earthen have existed since Vanilla…what are you going on about.
I assume they’ll be the Earthern that was in Northrend.
They should get their own starter zone in Northrend but I also know that’s probably not going to happen.
neither does a human or any other race until u make it.
Well, no. The scourge plague raised into undeath anyone that ate food tainted with their plague. You’d be a zombie or a ghoul
Death Knights are another matter, they had to be made. Usually hand picked individuals. But titan constructs are not “alive” in the conventional sense. They’re effectivly machines.
You can’t raise something to undeath that was never alive to begin with.
After Shadowlands, Bolvar isn’t the Lich King anymore and can’t make new Death Knights. The allied race DK’s that start at the Frozen Throne happened chronologically before SL.
All they need to do is have a new way to make DK’s.
the earthen are just alive as u and mean they all have souls just because they aren’t flesh doesn’t change that fact.
I assume they will get resurrected with healer rez spells for example.
I guess in WoW lore they are living things with souls that go to the Shadowlands when they die. They just aren’t afflicted with the curse of flesh.
But if they die and leave a corpse (which your character will) then they can be reanimated.
Goblin DKs aren’t bilgewater from the island, theyre the other cartels; worgen dks arent gilnean, theyre from the cult of argul that was in grizzly hills. theyll probably follow the same logic or they were raised by bolvar and locked in a box somewhere. Theyre an allied race so theyll probably start at 10 and not have their own starting zone to fill any of it in.
They may have souls, but they’re made of rock and rock can’t get sick. I’m not sure what you’re not understanding about that.
If the Scourge could infect the earthen, the iron vrykrul or heck even molten, stone and ice giants that the titan facilities could produce, they would have.
when it comes to lore, i am in the camp that it no longer really matters, they retconned the original story so what we used to know as true to lore no longer matters. that said, lorewise, other than the defeat of arthas at the end of wrath and moving to broken isles during legion, DKs technically haven’t been doing anything other than sitting around with a lot of time, necromancy books, and dead bodies on their hands. then when you consider their journey into the shadowlands and their return, the DKs of acherus are probably the most advanced practicioners of necromancy and death magics on all of azeroth. if they want to make more DKs they can, if they want to make DKs out of stone and mechanical bodies they can, they can also bind people’s souls to weapons and armor via the use of domination magic. they could probably make another lich king if they wanted.
Right now they don’t make any sense whatsoever, and their future existence is a mistake or flub.
BUT! We might get more details about this sort of thing and things might make sense… at some point.
you’re not understanding how a dk is even made its okay though. you do not have to be made of flesh to command death magic. your soul is how u become a dk not being revived by a scourge lmfao if that’s true then why wouldn’t they just make all dks and no zombies?
If they’re an unlocked allied race we’ll probably get some explanation with a bunch of them dying during the zone we level in with them. Even if they say midnight will be the void expansion we know we’re getting some purple shenanigans before that so they might be getting early stage curse of flesh in the zone.
