the initial dks we saw in warcraft 2 were the shadow council members souls being placed into stormwind knights corpses. This made them have powers they didn’t have before because…iunno reasons. Teron’gor iirc was the last surviving dk of that generation and he had a bad case of being dead again and drenched in sin.
What does that have to do with the Primus?
What? When did this happen?
version one dk’s? nothing really. the first death knights were nothing like the ones we have now. their powers, their creation all of it vastly different. DKs now are their own souls placed into their own corpses and they wield death magic. Version one was usually an orc soul in a human corpse and because of that I guess he could crusader strike or something who even knows?
As for when it happened I wanna say August 10 1975 but my memory is hazy.
