. Enter the Death Knight
This expansion adds a host of content to the already massive
existing game world. Players will achieve soaring levels of
power, explore Northrend (the vast icy continent of the Lich
King), and battle high-level heroes to determine the ultimate
e of Azeroth. As you face the dangers of the frigid, harsh
north, prepare to master the dark necromantic powers of the Death
Night -- World of Warcraft's first Hero class. No longer servants
of the Lich King, the Death Knights begin their new calling as
experienced, formidable adversaries. Each is heavily armed,
armoured, and in possession of a deadly arsenal of forbidden
magic.
If you have a World of Warcraft account with a character of at
least level 55, you will be able to create a new level-55 Death
Knight of any race (if on a PvP realm, the Death Knight must be
the same faction as your existing character). And upon entering
the new world, your Death Knight will begin to quest to level 80,
gaining potent new abilities and talents along the way. This
expansion allows for only one Death Knight per realm, per
account.
New Environments in Northrend Await
Journey through the remote, diverse lands of Northrend and
explore Dragonblight, Grizzly Hills, Borean Tundra, and Howling
Fjord. Named for s of perished dragons and majestic shrines
to the fallen creatures, Dragonblight is an arctic wasteland
surrounded by dense forests.
Not everything is frozen in Northrend. The lush ains of
Grizzly Hills are the ancestral home to the furbolgs, who have
grown accustomed to relative peace. Although their tranquility is
being challenged by trappers, goblins, and ice trolls, Grizzly
Hills remains a vast and dangerous wilderness.
The south-western tip of Northrend is home to the sprawling
Borean Tundra. The Horde has established a dominant presence in
this icy portion of the continent and has formed a bond with the
tuskarr, a walrus-like race of nomadic fisherman. Magical energy
is afoot in the region, and it has caused increased tension.
High above the Great Sea at the south-eastern tip of Northrend
lies the Howling Fjord. Ancient mythology holds that a race of
half-giant warriors, the vrykul, once inhabited the land,
founding a prosperous civilization. They mysteriously vanished,
leaving deserted villages and abandoned temples. In present
times, the Alliance and the Horde have come to Howling Fjord to
confront the Lich King. Strangely, this has prompted the return
of the vrykul, who are attacking the Alliance and Horde
settlements. Howling Fjord presents a difficult challenge on two
fronts: withstanding the vrykul's onslaught and battling the evil
Lich King.
A Multitude of Monsters
Strange and terrifying creatures inhabit the frozen continent of
Northrend, such as Nerubian Viziniers, Plague Eruptors,
Shoveltusks and Giants, to name just a few. Half-spider,
half-humanoid, the viziniers utilize sorcery and high
intelligence to emerge as the rulers of Nerubians' underground
kingdom. The Plague Eruptors are walking corpses created by the
Lich King's evil experiments to spread horror and chaos across
the living world.
Massive curved antlers make it easy to identify the Shoveltusks.
These grumpy beasts are very dangerous, territorial, and best
left alone. The Giants are nothing short of nightmarish
abominations. Cobbled together from the pieces of giant body
parts, the Giants employ tremendous strength to carry out
the Lich King's wishes.
The World of Warcraft: Wrath of King Lich expansion pack allows
you to engage in epic siege warfare. The pack presents the first
Hero class and allows you to transform your Death Knight's look
with character customisation that even includes hairstyles and
dances. You'll enjoy exploring the Northrend and all its
environments and dungeons, filled with some of the deadliest
creatures -- and greatest treasures -- on all of Azeroth.
