Things Bolvar accomplished as Lich King.
- Choose 3 complete losers as “Horsemen”
- Get the Ebon Blades’ rumps kicked at Lights Hope (again)
- Get completely Wrecked by Sylvanas despite having an army of undead and home field advantage.
I miss when Blizzard forgot Death Knights existed.

So as it turns out,
Not even the KING OF THE DAMNED, can pierce Sylvanas’ plot armor.

I for one, welcome our afterlife overlords!
Low bar, Lich King Bolvar was a damned loser.
He couldn’t pierce the packaging on a cup of yogurt.

IRVINE, Calif.—November 1, 2019—Sylvanas Windrunner, fallen leader of the Horde, has pierced the veil between Azeroth and the realm of the dead, setting in motion a series of events that threatens to upset the cosmic balance between life and death. Blizzard Entertainment today revealed World of Warcraft®: Shadowlands, the latest expansion for the company’s acclaimed massively multiplayer online role-playing game, in which Azeroth’s heroes will confront the wonders and horrors of the afterlife as they deal with the consequences of Sylvanas’ actions.
World of Warcraft players entering the fabled Shadowlands will find the realms of the dead in upheaval. Under the normal order, departed souls were delivered to a realm appropriate to the lives they led, but now, all souls are being funneled into the Maw, where the most wicked are damned to suffer for eternity. As they seek to right the cycle and uncover the extent of Sylvanas’ designs, players will forge bonds with the Covenants who hold domain over different planes within the Shadowlands:
• The steadfast Kyrian of Bastion, whose discipline and duty compels them to safeguard souls from the mortal realm as they pass into the Shadowlands.
• The mysterious Night Fae of Ardenweald, who fiercely defend the spirits of nature from those who would deprive them of rebirth.
• The cunning Venthyr of Revendreth, who feast on the souls of the prideful and vain in a gothic realm of opulence and torment.
• The warlike Necrolords of Maldraxxus, who forge the undead armies that serve as the first line of defense for the Shadowlands and honor those who seek power and glory in battle.
In their journeys through the Shadowlands, players will also come face-to-face with some of the departed legends of the Warcraft® universe, such as Uther the Lightbringer, who struggles against dark forces that seek to transform him into a symbol of retribution, and Kael’thas, who pursues vengeance on an enemy from his past while confined to Revendreth for the crimes he committed in life.
“Shadowlands is taking us somewhere we’ve never dreamed of going in the Warcraft universe, and that’s incredibly exciting,” said J. Allen Brack, president of Blizzard Entertainment. “We can’t wait to explore the great beyond, catch up with old departed friends, and forge an epic new chapter in the Warcraft saga together with our players.”
World of Warcraft: Shadowlands Features
A host of new features and activities await players in World of Warcraft: Shadowlands. When they cross into the realm-between-realms, players will be able to:
• Explore the Realm of the Dead: For the first time ever in World of Warcraft, players will cross into the Shadowlands and experience the wonders and horrors of the afterlife across five new zones—the gleaming fields of Bastion, the scarred battlefields of Maldraxxus, the eternal twilight of Ardenweald, the opulent keeps of Revendreth, and the horrific Maw.
• Claim a Covenant’s Power: Players will be called upon to forge a bond with one of four Covenants that rule Shadowlands’ new zones, setting the tone for their journey through the expansion with a full Covenant Campaign. As they level up, they’ll get new abilities based on their choice, including class-specific abilities for each Covenant—as well as developing Soulbinds with specific Covenant members, which grant them access to that character’s specific traits and bonuses.
• Ascend the Tower of the Damned: At the heart of the Maw lies Torghast, Tower of the Damned, a cursed otherworldly prison where the wickedest souls in the universe are locked away. Highly replayable and inspired by roguelike games, heroes are invited to explore its ever-changing halls and chambers and do battle with the minions of the Jailer, Torghast’s vile ruler. Those who brave its trials can claim legendary treasures and help free the heroic spirits wrongfully trapped within.
• Every Level Is Meaningful: Shadowlands will introduce a new leveling system, meant to provide a meaningful sense of advancement with every level achieved. Current max-level characters will begin Shadowlands at level 50 and work toward the new level cap of 60.
• A New Army of the Dead Rises: To combat Sylvanas’ assault on Icecrown, Bolvar Fordragon— the revered former paladin who took on the mantle of Lich King to keep the Scourge at bay—has raised heroes from among all the peoples of Azeroth to bolster the Death Knights of Acherus. With Shadowlands, pandaren and all allied races will now be able to become Death Knights.
• Improved Character Customization Options: A host of new appearance options for all races will be made available to players when they create new World of Warcraft characters (or alter existing ones at the in-game barber shop).
Pre-purchase Options
World of Warcraft: Shadowlands is available for pre-purchase digitally from the Blizzard Shop starting today, with three different options all designed with player preference in mind. The Base Edition of Shadowlands is available for $39.99 SRP, providing a new lower entry point compared to previous expansions. The Heroic Edition ($59.99) includes the expansion; a level-120 character boost; and the Ensorcelled Everwyrm mount, which provides access to a questline through which players can earn the Vestments of the Eternal Traveler transmogrification set. The Epic Edition ($79.99) includes the Anima Wyrmling pet; the Wraithchill cosmetic weapon effect; the Eternal Traveler’s Hearthstone, designed with a unique visual effect; and 30 days of game time, in addition to all of the contents from the Heroic Edition.
All bonuses from the Heroic and Epic Editions are unlocked immediately upon pre-purchase. In addition, pre-purchasing any edition of World of Warcraft: Shadowlands will open the ability for players to create pandaren and allied race Death Knights once the Visions of N’Zoth content update for the current expansion, Battle for Azeroth™, arrives in the coming months.

Someone on the wra forums was saying a thing or two about how upset they’d be if the shadowlands became a series of zones, rather than what it actually is: a mirror of reality. Welp. We’re here. And I’m not too thrilled with it either.
On the one hand, there’s some interesting story on the side of death knights and what they’re going to do now that bolvar’s been decrowned and the deathlord is by proxy equally unimportant. That helm kept the Scourge in check, so what’s going to happen now? Probably not what we’d expect, as the vids suggest.
What’s scarier than the jailer of the damned? Damnation itself, I can only assume.
(Get your magic missles ready to attack the darkness.)
Need some time to process, and to see a little more of what they plan to do with this. Right now it’s not looking good. I can’t tell what direction they’re tryna take this lore in, but the crazy train left the station in BfA and it’s clearly not at its last stop yet.
Most of the class halls and their leaders were completely unimportant anyways, no big loss.
Yeah, because YOU were important. 
YOU are the class hall leader, and you make the decisions. You relay the wishes of the Lich King to the 4 horsemen and aaaaall the other lackeys, and at the end of the day, you saved the day.
So your master is now decrowned, where does that leave his arbiter?
We’re reverting back to 60 levels, so I wonder why we are getting a 120 booster with the 80$ xpac version… or do they mean we revert to level 1 in the Shadowlands? O.o
No, no you didn’t, you followed the Lich King’s (dumb) orders to the letter.
You mean do his grunt work and get your rump kicked because he couldn’t get on his Magical Lich King Memory projector for 10 minutes and see how Light’s Hope 1 turned out.
You mean The Discount Greymane who died off Screen, the Pantless Wonder whose army gets completely wrecked every other expansion, and the “Monster” who apparently forgot that he completely and willingly became a Death Knight to free his fathers soul.
Nazgrim was the only good one of the bunch.
No, the Paladins, the Priests and the Rogues saved the day. The Deathlord went home with his tail between his legs after assaulting the single worst place for a Death Knight to assault in a violation of all good sense of everyone involved.
In the same place we were in Cata, and MoP, and Warlords, and 90% of Legion, and BFA. Ignoring That Sliefer Slacker like he is because Bolvar hasn’t accomplished anything of value.
Well alrighty then. Don’t know what I did to get you so grumpy… moving on.
TL;DR I’m not going to argue opinions with someone. Don’t bother.
This I’m excited for. >:3
I can make even MORE death knights than I already have. >_<
They are squishing down the levels, if you are level 120 now, you will be level 50 when the prepatch hits, so the boost is still a “max level” boost.
I am 100% making a Vulpera Frost DK.
vulpera are so cute, im already tempted to roll one but that would make it even better! just dont know where i’d play ;_;
OMG it just hit me. The Ebon Blade is screwed now O.O We don’t have a powerful benefactor anymore.
Speak for yourself love, I was around in Pandaland times I got me a cloak, I will roll up to the White Tiger Temple and give Xuen a bro fist.
The only problem is the Vulpera Heritage armor doesn’t come in blue…we need a blue version of it for real DKing.
