Whether he fights for the greater good or for his own
redemption, he will not rest until his enemies lie broken
at his feet.
Death & Decay
The Death Knight is a fearsome undead warrior who
harnesses the powers of death and darkness to destroy
their enemies. They possess a variety of abilities that
make them both versatile and lethal in combat.
Death Knights are proficient in wielding a variety of
weapons, from swords to axes to polearms, and can
switch between them with ease. Additionally, they have
mastered the use of dark magic to supplement their
physical attacks, allowing them to strike at their
enemies with deadly precision.
In terms of defense, Death Knights are skilled in
wearing all forms of armor and can use their dark
powers to bolster their physical resilience. They can
also raise undead minions to fight alongside them,
providing additional protection and distraction in battle.
The true strength of a Death Knight lies in their
ability to specialize in a specific style of combat. Some
Death Knights focus on dealing massive amounts of
damage through the use of dark magic, while others
specialize in summoning and controlling undead
minions to do their bidding. Others still use a
combination of brute strength and tactical cunning to
outmaneuver their enemies.

Every Death Knight was once human, with hopes and

they gained terrible strength and the thirst for souls that
can never truly be quenched. They walk a line between
life and death, light and darkness, abandoning the living
world that rejected them.
Their skills and gear are not trophies of past battles,
but tools to achieve the dark destiny before them. The
runes carved in their blade call forth horrors from
beyond, and their armor protects them only so they may
inflict more death. Through slaughter they gain power,
and the more death they bring, the stronger their dark
