 Rath of the Lich King beta is finally here. I initially quit at the beginning of Rath, I came back at the very end and didn't get invited to anything because I had no achievements and I had no friends that were still playing. So I wanted to go and especially since we're in the middle of Boomer month, I think one of the most iconic things about Rath of the Lich King is them, is Blizzard, is wow, adding Death Knights as a hero class and doing that intro quest chain kind of telling you about how Death Knights are in the game now, whatever, and I think it's actually a good fit for Boomer month and it's Rath beta. People are excited for Rath and to be honest with you, even me, like I played a little bit of Rath beta, I did actually have more fun just playing Rath than I remember having. It felt mechanically a little bit worse, maybe it's just because I'm so like tuned to playing Burning Crusade at this point. Regardless, Rath is probably going to come out, I'm assuming sometime in October-ish. We're going to take that into Rath and it's going to be awesome. Playing on benediction now instead of Feralina. But yeah, it's going to be fantastic. There it is, dude. The Lich King. Okay. Clovers, put your clothes on. Frick, claim for free beta keys. Chat, there's no beta keys. I got mine. No, you didn't. Chat, who got a key? Nobody got a key. Stop lying, unbelievable. A blemish upon these playgrounds, they all must be shown the price of their defiance. You will become my force of retribution. Where you tread, doom will follow. Go now and claim your destiny, death knight. Okay, cool. We're looking good, chat. Things are looking good, things are looking good. Dude, it's crazy, like, so when this happened, back in the day, when Rath the Lich King initially came out, this thing was so unbelievably hyped up, like Rath the Lich King, Paladins, Death Knights. Like this was kind of like the culmination. The entire story of Warcraft that people thought about with Arthas and Uther and the Paladins, especially like going into Warcraft 3, Burning Crusade touched on it with Illidan and Kael'thas and Lady Vosh and that whole thing. We saw Kill Jaden too in Sunwell. But really in Rath, it was like, that's the climax. With Arthas and everything else and the Lich King, and there's references to it in Vanilla Wound, there's references to it in Burning Crusade, but it wasn't until Rath that it was like the focal point of the expansion and adding Death Knights in that was like insane. This was crazy. Instructor Rezuvious. This is something else that's cool, right? So if you did Naxx Rammus originally, these are all the guys, these are the bosses in Vanilla Naxx. So when you come in here and you immediately see Instructor Rezuvious, one of the most badass bosses in all of Naxx, as in this is the guy in like the military war who's training all like the up-and-coming Death Knights, like you're one of them. So the RP behind it is legit. Once bound, take the sword to a nearby rune forge and use it to create a rune blade. Okay, battle war and sword. Wait, the Death Knights of Arcarus. The heck? Name Jade, status alive, comment, bloodthirsty. Sixon, alive, chatty. Munch, alive, destructive. Cobalt, deceased. Fell to his death, not much upstairs, probably saved him a lifetime of suffering. Harmony, deceased. The name of this death knight was found in violation of common scourge decent to see struck down by the Lynch King. Melt, status alive, martyr. Wait, what? Status alive, comment, needs more cowbell. Is that a, is that random or does it just put your name in there? I've never, I never actually remember reading this book. I just randomly saw it. That is funny. Somebody else should go check this and see if it says your name. Forge is the battle worn sword into a rune blade if sword must be used near forge. So you're going through the entire RP of like becoming a death knight. The training is cool. Rune bladed sword, back to Resuvius. The rune blade is an extension of your being. A death knight cannot battle without a rune blade. You have successfully created your first rune bladed weapon. With it you will sew the seeds of chaos and destruction. And in your wake will be a blooded field of battle littered with the corpses of all that would dare oppose the scourge. The mark of war is etched indelibly upon your soul, death knight. You are wearing the dark heart of rune forging and with it you will engrave runes of power upon your weaponry. Preparations for battle must be made. Return to one of the rune forges here in the heart of Arcarus. Return to me when your blade glows with dark energy. Okay, so I have two runes to choose from. Rune of cinderglazer. A fixy rune weapon with a rune that has a chance to increase damage by 20% for the next two attacks that deal frost damage and or shadow damage. Modifying your rune weapon requires a rune forge and rune of razor ice. A fix is your weapon with a rune that causes 2% extra weapon damage to frost damage and increases enemies' vulnerability to frost attacks. I think this one sounds more fun. I agree. So we're gonna take our blade and we're gonna take our rune soul blade here. Cool. Dude, a blue weapon. Sick. Remember these words, death knight. The rune forge is a scourge instrument. It exists only in Arcarus, Naxranus, and the heart of Icecrown. You may only emblaze your weapon at a rune forge. Return often and emblaze all your weapons. A death knight must be prepared for all who would dare oppose him. The endless hunger will soon take hold of you, death knight. When it does, you will feel pain immeasurable. There is only one remedy for the suffering. The hunger must be sated and I give you the key to your salvation. Changed to the heart of Arcarus are those deemed unworthy of the Dark Brotherhood. Use the key to free an unworthy initiate and allow them to equip their gear and battle you for their freedom. Fail and suffer for eternity. Live or die, the choice is yours to make. Unworthy initiate dominated. Who do we want to dominate? I will win my freedom and leave this cursed place. It ends here! Oh damn, okay. So, boom. Don't want to stack a bunch of diseases, and then blood strike. Oh, this guy's owned. This is over, GG. Damn! Okay. Even the mighty Max Rammus could withstand a direct assault from the Ebon Hold. Looming above the face of the Necropolis is the ill-seeing Eye of Arcarus. From it, the Master is able to see great distances into the territories held by our enemies. What the Eye sees, the Lich King sees. And now the time has come for you to peer through the Eye. The Lich King has called for you, martyr. Go now and suffer well, brother. Report to the Lich King and Ebon Hold. All right. I thought it was voice acted. Hey. Ah, the time to smell the blood of our enemies approaches. You must first learn what it is that you seek to destroy before rushing headlong into battle. It is what separates a death knight from a mindless ghoul. I will grant you sight beyond sight to my champion. Towering above this platform is the Eye of Arcarus. From it, you will call for the probe that you will then use to analyze the Scarlet Crusade fortifications at New Avalon. The Eye has a host of powers that should make the acquisition of this data quite simple. Use the Eye Siphon to analyze the Forge, the Town Hall, Hold, and the Chapel. The Eye's control mechanisms are located on either side of the platform. Waste no time, martyr. The Sturge will have this place. The Lich King commands it. Cool. That was that noise. Death comes from on high. The Eye of Arcarus launches towards its destination. Siphon summons ghouls on Scarlet Crusade. Shroud. Shrouds the Arcarus from sight. Okay, so we want to analyze everything. The New Avalon Forge, New Avalon Town Hall, Scarlet Hold, and then Chapel of the Crimson Flame. This feels like sacrilege. I'm going to be honest. As a paladin, going through and doing this, it's just pure sacrilege, yeah. Pure sacrilege. They prepare for battle, as expected, but there is something else. I sense an old enemy. An enemy that I destroyed long ago. It matters not. We will send the full might of the Sturge against them before they have a chance to evacuate their homes and in place their defenses. Listen well, Death Knight. For I give to you the words that will start a war. My final judgment has been passed. Death to all. Death to all. Take my judgment to High Lord Mokraine at the command post of Arcarus. Found on the first floor. Tell him to begin the assault. And when the Crusade has been dealt with, we will finish off the Archedon. Oh frick. That's scary. If you're a paladin nerd like me, anything Mokraine, anything Ashbringer, like any of that, like anything like that at all is just, oh dude, I loved it. I loved every second of it, dude. Especially back then, like I didn't do vanilla knacks, right? Everything about like knacks and the Ashbringer, all that stuff was cool. So throughout the course of this question, they're going to give you like gear, because you start out with like initiate gear, which is like greens, and they give you like a set of like blue gear. This is why Death Knight is cool, that you want to all the cool paladin stuff? True. Dude, I remember coming here and seeing Baron Rivendair right next to Darien Mokraine, and I was like, oh there's the corrupted Ashbringer noises. I thought this was the coolest thing. So this is Mokraine's son. I thought this was the coolest thing, dude. So good, dude. So good. The horns of war will soon echo across this land, waiting the dead and calling forth the Scourge woman. Calling forth the Scourge war machine. Well, one of those that would stand in our way. You and your brethren will lead the charge, Martyr. When next I look upon the scarred lands, my sight will be obscured by the legions of Arkeras. The march upon new Avalon begins now. Sick. Valgras started? Scourge commander Thalador awaits your arrival at the overhang, located directly southeast of our current position. Report to Thalador and Rook position the Scourge griffin to deliver your death's breach. Prince Valanar will be waiting for you down below. Suffer well, brother. Cool. Okay, so finally for the first time we get the step outside. Prince Valanar. Do you smell it? Fresh meat. The scent of Scarlet Crusader wafts through the air. Apologies, death knight. I'm sure you're not interested in my choice of fine cuisine. You are here to work and to lead the charge. Yes, I know. The Lich King has told me all that I need to know about you, Martyr. The time for bloodshed is now. They make their stand now, outside of death's breach. They suck at attempting to push back. Push us back in hopes of saving their horses. Mine's lumber and citizens. This will be your first lesson in the Scourge warfare. Go to the front lines south of here and destroy Scarlet Crusaders. Leave their corpses so that we may utilize them for the death launch. But most importantly, kill the fleeing villagers. Soldiers dying are in affordance. But villagers, that is what will stretch fear into the hearts of man. A quest. Pepe run, quest time. So I have to do five duels. But I don't think we have five people to do duels with. They have NPCs to do, I remember this quest. Death knight initiate. Alright, let's beat his ass. You don't stand a chance, Martyr. The duel will begin in three, two, one. Get over here. Huh? I guess if you death grip them too far away, then you go out of range of the duel. Here come the tears. Dude, are you serious? Icy touch, plague, blood, blood, Icy touch, plague, death coil, Icy touch. Okay, horse successfully stolen. So we gotta steal a horse. But we steal it from, we steal it from the Scarlet Crusade. And then we also need 15 Sauronite arrows. If chaos drives, let's suffer and hold the reins. Oh, there's the arrows. Citizen of Havenshire. So they're just, they're shooting arrows from up top and just taking these guys out. And so, wait for it. We just have to go pick up the arrows. Wait, this guy's just killing, this guy's just killing the citizens. Oh, he has to kill the citizens too. Oh, my bad. I was like, wait, this guy's just murdering people. Classic TVZ Rids almost all have optimized man support with wisdom, constant B up, shadow priests and every raid. Yeah, like it's, it's much less of an issue. Specifically, honestly, what it really was an issue for back then was, uh, was rep paladins, right? So death knight, a lot of people saw, and even now, right, the parallels between a death knight and a rep paladin are kind of death knights, or typically people are like, well, they're like fallen paladins, right? They're paladins who've fallen to the scourge or whatever, you know? Was this the case before where I could take a little tiny horse? Dude, imagine you're a torrent. You're bigger than a horse. Deliver stolen horse. Um, where do I deliver this? Now for the true test. Can you show mastery over an unbound charger and brutally overtake the thing that you desire the most? The horse you stole has been taken to the realm of shadows. It is there that my dark rider will slay the beast and raise it as a death charger. Do you think yourself brave enough to enter the realm of shadows in pursuit of the death charger? If you accept, I will transport you to the shadow world. Once they have, seek out a dark rider in the open field south. Dark rider in the open field south of us while I walk away. Sound of the horseman at death's breach has challenged you to slay the dark rider of Alcarus and take his Alcarus death charger. Sick. You know what's funny? I forgot about this. I forgot that they have like the realm of shadows. Wait, what? What? Okay, this quest is definitely a little bit bugged. This other guy just randomly like said come strike me down and then he just jumped off and left his horse. So now I've got two horses. Return to the death chariot of death's breach and call forth Salon the horseman. Okay, let's head back. You have served us well death knight. Few of your brethren have survived your initial attack upon the scarlet interlopers. You remain as one of the strongest. East of us past the Havenshire mine is the coast called Lightspoint by the Scarlet Crusade. A thousand soldiers stand between us and their ships. Insurmountable? It's hardly the point. In their haste, the crusade will make one fatal error. You are to return to Havenshire mine east of here and locate the mine car that my minions have planted near the outhouse. Climb inside the mine car and the Scarlet miner will unwittingly see to it that you are placed safely behind enemy lines. Once aboard one of their ships, use the cannons against them. Slaughter them all. Call the scourge griffin from the cannon when you are ready to return. Scarlet of inner slave. With a sleigh a hundred scarlet defenders. Okay. Ah, inconspicuous mine car. Oh, where'd this come from? I better get this down to the ships before the foremen sees it. Job's done. My work. Oh, frick. Chat, we're behind enemy lines. Scarlet cannon. Yes. Chat, we have to slay them all. 48, 57, 58, 64, 81, 83, 99. Wait, what? Then we can get the hell out of here, Chat. Yes. The entire Scarlet fleet wiped out in a matter of minutes. I will receive a commendation from the Lich King for this. All the remains of the Scarlet Crusade now are denizens of new Avalon. I'll set the Firestarters and Necromancers upon Havenshire immediately. You will carry my report to the High Lord. I have made sure to include your heroics in the report. Mograine will undoubtedly reward you greatly for this victory, martyr. Go now. Fallen Power and Abandoned Light embraces that of the Lich King champion. True. The entire Scarlet fleet? I have not seen such a display of domination in years since my father wielded it. It's not important. Yes, no commendation. Lest I forget. Sick. It is the will of the Lich King that drives us onward, martyr. None are more aware of this than the Death Knights. Our very existence is intrinsically tied to his consciousness. Surely, love heard him speak to you. You are to return to Death's Breach and report to Prince Valinar. The Lich King commands it. Engraved Sirenite Pants play the Sirenite Brace it so I'm starting to get some gear. Okay, let's go back down to return to Prince Valinar. Haven Shire's Ars. A thousand corpses litter the ground, patiently awaiting rebirth. We strike now at our enemy with the awakened strength of the Scourge. The ghouls have already begun their assault upon new Avalon and our forces have moved in behind them and taken the crypt of remembrance. The attacks upon the gates of the last Scarlet Bastion have begun. Our ghouls are wearing the Crusade's front lines. Down while we labor to fortify our new forward base, the crypt of remembrance. Venture south to the crypt, which borders new Avalon and report to my dear, dear brother, Prince Keleseth. He will be expecting. Prepare yourself, martyr, for you are about to witness the next stage of Scourge warfare. Right now, Death Knight. I don't remember the quest having voiceovers. Yeah, they added it for Wrath Classic. How do you get into beta? There's an opt-in. They're going to keep, apparently, put out another wave today. Nothing less than total annihilation will suffer, martyr, or suffice, martyr. To that end, a few hundred-mile mindless ghouls assaulting the front gate of new Avalon will not do. We must infiltrate the Yere Sanctum and dispose of their officials. They must be shown that no one can escape the Scourge's grasp. Make your way to the new Avalon Town Hall, southwest of here, and assassinate the mayor. Search the building for the new Avalon Registry and bring it to me. We need to find more citizens of new Avalon. Wait, I probably shouldn't do this. Okay, so I'm just gonna get rezed. Okay. So we killed Mayor Quimby, and then now we get the new Avalon Registry. Wait, how are you here? Okay. Uh, latitude, longitude. Ah, yes, two degrees. Ah, what? This is impossible. They sail to Northrend? Beside the coordinates of the words, crimson dawn. Hmm. This quest makes your brake speed runs. Wait, really? You know what's funny? So I wrote a post on the forums halfway through burning, er, no, no, no, was this halfway through burning crusade? I think it was. Dude, I was a forum poster in high school. I was like a 15-year-old forum poster, and I would always post about things that I think would be good for them to add to the game. It was like a big massive hammer that falls from the sky, and like after a certain amount of time does big damage, I was like, that'd be sick if they added that. Then I had another idea for an ability called Long Arm of the Law, which basically because you're the law bringer, right, judgment, all this stuff, you reach out and you grab them and you bring them to you to help with like mobility problems for Paladins. It ended up being Deathquip, Deathquip, Deathquip. They ended up adding that for, wait, I'll tell you everything, stop please. Oh hell yeah, nice. The light speaks to the High General. It is the light, the light that guides us. This movement was set in stone emotion before you came. We just do as we told. It's what must be done. I know very little else. The High General chooses who may go and who must stay behind. There's nothing, you must believe me, lies. The pain you're about to endure will be talked about for years to come. No, please. There's one more thing that I forgot to mention, a courier comes soon from Hearth Glen. It, I remember whenever I did this back in the day, this wasn't bad either. So I quit, I quit at the beginning of the wrath, came back at the end of wrath, quit again, came back whenever Cataclysm launched. When I came back, I saw execution sentence and I was like, what the hell? This is exactly what I was thinking. But whenever I used it for the first time, I was like, wait, this ability actually sucks. This was a horrible idea. I was like, man, that's crazy. I had the same idea. And then I used it and I was like, oh, damn, that's ass. Never mind. In awakening, what nonsense do you speak, boy? What kind of fool will deliver their people into the very heart of the frozen wastes? Perhaps, though, this courier holds the answer. They have set up a base of operations at the Scarlet Tavern located at the southern end of New Avalon. The tavern is tucked away behind, is tucked away behind the two origins adjacent to the chapel of the Crimson Flame. You ought to make your way to the tavern and report to Orba's Blambane. He will update you on their situation. I haven't done that starting quest being so good. It is really fun, Malin. The only thing is I feel like there's not as much combat as I thought there was. I don't kill as many things. We are the chosen ones, Martyr. Death Knights of the Scourge sent to sew the seeds of the Master's Destruction. Looks like we'll let anyone into the dark order these days. When I was given a gift, things were different. Much different. As to this courier, we haven't got a damned clue about when or where this courier is supposed to show up. None of these humans had to answer either. Inside Scarlet Hold, they keep a schedule of all patrol routes. I want you to break into the hold and steal the schedule. The hold is the largest building in New Avalon, northeast of here. Okay, Scarlet Hold and then uh... Okay, so Scarlet Hold. I do like how they how they tied Tear's Hand from the Eastern Plague Lands into this. Like there was this, like hypothetically there was this area that the Scarlet Crusade just had inhabited this whole time behind Tear's Hand. Is this Scarlet Hold? Why are you killing the good guys? Because I'm a bad guy. Uh... New Avalon patrol schedule? Easy clap. Thank you. Hmm. You were foolish coming after me. I failed. I should have been left for dead. Now two of us might be killed. We are Death Knights of the Scourge. This flies in the face of the Dark Brotherhood's Covenants. The Sarion, you blasted fool. The alarms have been sounded. The High Inquisitor and his acolytes will be here soon. I'm too badly injured to be of much use, but I'll do what I can to help. Slay the High Inquisitor and his cronies. Tear off his head and return it to the Sarion. Vengeance will soothe his savage soul. One more thing, martyr. If you do manage to survive and make it back to the Sarion, tell him that they're executing prisoners at the chapel. Perhaps he'll send you there to play the hero once more. This quest is 100% gonna be a problem if there's multiple people doing this quest at the same time. Dude, you can't even loot anything. Here, if we have this... Oh, your diseases, are you? Valorant's head. You need to get out of here at once. Go before more of them show up. I'll be fine on my own. Cool. All right, really. Okay, Warplate and Gloves next. See, I'm starting to get, like, the full suit. The Sarion. Quick. I'll feed this monster's head to the ghouls. The Sar... The Sarion tosses it back into the back. Toss me what? No, toss... The Sarion tosses it back. Did Koutaro make it out? I'm certain he did. Those walls can't hold him. Time for some payback. The cry for vengeance must be heard. Commander Bledfist and a company of death knights are on their way to raise the Chapel of the Crimson Flame. If there are any death knights imprisoned at the Chapel, Bledfist will get them out. You can still catch up to them if you hurry. The Chapel is due west of here. Tear the hold apart. The schedule is here. These worthless creeps have been busy. Northern patrol routes, Southern patrol routes, Western patrol routes, Eastern patrol routes, but nothing about their courier routes. Wait a minute. What's this? It looks like the Western patrol route. Coming out of Western Greatlands. This patrol will path through here today. I'm going to return to plan. We are farmers. Dude, I need to go like train. I haven't talked to a trainer yet. Chapel of the Crimson Flame. Is that it? Is this it? This has to be it. Have you played a death knight before? Not really. I did this quest chain like years and years and years ago, but I never really played a death knight. You gonna make a DK alt for wrath? I don't know. I've always been a one character type of guy. Maybe in wrath is different. I have an idea. We got here, tore the place apart, and headed toward the prison house. We weren't expecting what we found in there, mother. Seems the crusade has been real busy. That whole thing is full of Argentine prisoners. Most of them were already dead by the time we arrived, but a few were still breathing. I was about to go in there and execute the rest of them, but I think you should have the honors. In particular, there's a real feisty human in there that I think you'll take great pleasure. I said, I think you'll take great pleasure in executing. Ellen Stanbridge, Iggy Darktusk, Gobi Blastenheimer. Yes, Mina Okenthorn. Come to finish the job, have you? Martyr? Martyr, I'd recognize that face anywhere. You don't remember me, do you? Blasted scourge. They've tried to drain you of everything that made you a righteous force of reckoning. Every lance ounce of good and the text going too vast? Think, Martyr, think back. Try and remember the hills and the valleys of Elwyn where you were born. Remember the splendor of life, brother. You were a champion of the Alliance once. This isn't you. Listen to me, Martyr. You must fight against the Lich King's control. He's a monster that wants you to see this world. Our world, in ruin, don't let him to use you to accomplish his goals. You're once a hero and can be again. Fight him, you fight his control. There's no more time for me. I'm done for. Finish me off, Martyr. Do it or they'll kill us both. Remember Elwyn, this world is worth saving. Do it, Martyr. Put me out of my misery. I feel good. Wait, hold on. I'm going to try and kill his. I'm going to try and kill this person. I want to see if it bugs it out because I feel like they should make it to where you should not be able to do that. Dude, the way they turned at me was so funny. Another scourge victory. These scarlet dogs have nowhere left to run and hide. It's only a matter of time now. While you are out burning churches and murdering Thurman, I've been busy formulating a plan. The Scarlet Courtyard is scheduled to pass by the Scarlet Overlook within the hour. The roads by the Everlook, by the Overlook, are wide open, swarming with crusaders. Use this makeshift cover to hide the Overlook and wait for the Scarlet Courtyard to pass. When he's close enough, strike with all your fury. Cut him down and take his belongings, including his clothes. The Overlook is 200 paces east of here. Scarlet Courtyard's belongings in the message. Okay, so we have to make a makeshift cover. 200 paces east. Frick, that's not east, that's west. Scarlet Overlook, makeshift cover. What the- Wait, did he just spawn on top of me? He spawned right on top of the fake tree. As soon as I put it down, pretty sure there's supposed to be some kind of R.P. Just to walk up to the tree? Yeah, I don't know, maybe it was like I just put it in the exact wrong spot or something to make it do that. I don't know. A maze of earth glen and terraced voles will be marching into a massacre. Now for the second part of the plan. You're going to deliver this message right into the hands of High General Abendis. That's what the close are for. This message of must reach Abendis. I do not want to draw their suspicion. They must continue under the assumption that everything is going as they planned. You will don the Scarlet Courtyard's clothes and help with the- When with the help of some dark magic, take on the form of the courier. Abendis is at the King's Harbor, southeast of the Scarlet Everlook. Drop off the message and get as much information out of her as you can. She will tell us what we need to know about the Crimson Dawn. Wait, what? Even my horse has- Okay. Man, my horse sucks. Okay, Scarlet Champions. Ah, yes. Hello, Bishop Street and High Abend Landgren. How are you, gentlemen doing? Oh, Mrs. Abendis. Where have you been? You're two hours late. We were about to send a courier out to the High Commander. The armies of earth glen and terraced vol must not reach new Avalon. The Scourge will slaughter them all. Listen well, Courier. The Scarlet Lands are lost. New Avalon and Havenshire are overrun by Scourge. The Spectre of Death looms overhead and threatens to overtake us at any moment. Return to Galvar with this message. Turn your armies around and prepare your ships for travel to the frozen Wastes. When next we meet, it'll be in Northrend. Give this to Galvar. The Scarlet Crusade is no more. Long live the Scarlet Onslaught. Yes, ma'am. I will definitely do this. Thank you for the message. Why don't you Abendis nuts? Thank you. What rubbish! This is the Crescendon? They sailed to their deaths. Let us turn our focus to the encroaching armies. We must prepare for the encroaching armies, Mordor. You will take what you have discovered to High Lord Mowgrain at once. I will open a portal directly to Akeris. Step inside and it will transport you. Give High Lord Mowgrain a pen as his journal as well. Perhaps he'll find it useful. Make haste, Mordor. Use the portal. You're on back. The life we have before is meaningless. You did what? You have become an instrument of doom, Death Knight. We will ravage these approaching armies and raise the Dennis alone. The armies of Herthglund and Tirisfal have arrived. As we speak, they prepare to make one final stand. The Lich King awaits your return, Champion. He stands watch below us at Death's Breach. Seek out the Lich King at Death's Breach. And let him know where to put it. There he is. You have reaped death and destruction for as far as the eye can see and delivered to me the last of the Scarlet armies. You have slaughtered legions beyond number and still your dark heart craves more. Your hunger knows no end, Mordor. Before your king. The Scarlet armies make their final stand against us. For them, there is no escape. For this reason, they will fight with a ferocity that you have yet to witness. Use this horn to call forth one of my words. Climb upon its back and command it into battle. With it, you will end the Scarlet Crusade. Yes, my king. Wait, what am I shooting at? I'm shooting the wrong guys. Yeah! Dude, how far is the aggro range on these guys? I think I ran into the whole town and there, look. Is there something wrong with the logic here? Something? Dude, something? This doesn't feel right. Yeah, look, dude. This thing was, these things were following me forever. Wait, achievement earned? Wait, this guy's elite? Wait, what? What? These guys were still aggroing me from forever ago? What the? What? I'm getting camped as stream snipers, dude. I swear. Help. Hey, hey, ghoul. Help, help, help. Hey, hey, hey, hey, help. Why are they, dude? They're aggroing me from halfway across the planet. Neil, champion, and then speak. I place this hand upon your head to complete your terrifying message. Any that dare look upon your dark countenance will know that death comes. Let none stand so boldly against your king's source to face your merciless wrath, mother. There remains only one final task. The scorned enclave is no more. What remains of the crusade will be dealt with in Norwen, survivors. We now turn all of our efforts to light Hope Chapel. No longer will this affront to your master be allowed to exist. No northwest through the cave, into the Noxious Grave, and take the path leading out of the Glaive. Glade to the middle. Do not fail me, martyr. Sure thing, dude. I'm gonna go get my things turned in. I'm gonna go get my talents and stuff. The High Lord and other death knights are preparing to strike. The Argenton stands defiantly against us at Light's Hope Chapel. They dare oppose the Scourge, and for that reason alone, they must be destroyed. When you are ready for battle, report to High Lord Deryon Mograine. It is the High Lord who will issue the final march orders and command our armies at Light's Hope Chapel. Okay? Chatty, you comfy? So I wait right here? Frick, I didn't know it was not a timer like this, otherwise I would have rushed it instead of gotten my skills. Oh, here we go. Flesh behemoth? Is it time? Oh, it's time. Kul Tira death weaver? Orbad blood mane? Theserion and High Lord Deryon Mograine. Chat, it's almost time. I'm ready, High Lord. Let the siege of Light's Hope begin. Oh, here we go. Frick, here we go. Wait, what the hell? Man, I'm doing tons of dips. Forces of the Light remaining. So I'm trying to decide, like, I feel like... So what they do here is they're just giving... They basically make you just super strong. Dude, this feels so wrong. I'm killing my Paladin brothers. Oh, there he is. Paladin's dead. Bring them before the chapel. Wait, Theserion is kneeling? Wait, why is... Hey, Rez. I did this once on retail. Maxwell Boogman stopped attacking me then, and I kept one-shotting me. That's so funny. What the... Come on, man. Dude, this is... I love this, actually. This is so sick. I wish to join you in the war against the undead. I want to fight. I can sit idle no longer. I love this, dude. Darian Morgrain. You are barely of age to hold a sword, let alone battle the undead hordes of Lord of God. God damn it. I could not bear losing you. Even the thought... There. Stop! Come on! Please. Okay. No! What the game? What? I have to go. The Lich King. No! No, no, no, no, no. Come on. Dude, I need to get the credit for the quest. Oh, shit. Morgrain's becoming... He's coming back. He gives Therian Forgery the Ashbringer. The Ashbringer is cleansed. Not over. The Ashbringer has been cleansed, chat. There it is, dude. So that is how the Death Knights join the normal people of Azeroth. They turn their back on the Lich King, Morgrain's son's Death Knights. There will be no atonement for us, Marker. We are forever damned to walk the earth as monsters. While the Lich King may have loosed his grip upon us, the specters of our past will forever hunt our memories. We must make amends in the only way we know how. I ask you now to join me. Our Karris is a knight of the Heaven Blade. Together we will destroy the Lich King and end the Scourge. Damn, look at that sword. Yeah, sword, 100%. The Lich King has returned to Northmen, wounded by the Ashbringer, but the second floor still holds the last of his armies. Use the teleporter to get to the second floor and destroy the Scourge forces that remain. Do not engage Patchwork alone. You must fight the monstrosity with other Death Knights about Karris. Go, Martyr. You have my strength to carry you. Yeah, it's a Juggernaut. It's a Juggernaut. Hey, Patchwork. Get your ass over here, bitch. No more play, no more play. Oh, God. Oh, God. How's that? I was jogging. Aw, frick. Sick. So, this is like one of the first times in a while where they just make you like ridiculous and strong. Right? Like they're like, oh, man, you're this epic thing. Is that right? One of the first times? Well done, Death Knight. The remaining Scourge will be dealt with in short order. The rebuilding process will begin anew. I have but one last task for you. This order must establish allies for itself if it is to survive, and you must represent the Knights of the Ebon Blade to the Alliance. On the platform southeast of me is the portal to Stormwind City. Take this letter. Give it to me on your behalf by Lord Forgering and deliver it to King Varian Wren using the portal. All right. I'm friendly. Hello. I'm a friendly guy. What? Get a rope? Oh, nice. I gotta talk to the king. Anybody here where the king is? Hello, gentlemen. I'm looking for the king. Okay, thank you. You have mere moments to live. Indeed, old friend. Blood and honor. Were it not for this letter from Tyrion, you would have been a stain upon my floor. Only an endorsement from one of the greatest paladins to ever live could have ensured your survival. We will work together against the Scourge and against the Lich King. Glory to the Alliance. People of Stormwind, citizens of the Alliance, your king speaks. Today marks the first of many defeats for the Scourge. Death Knights once in service of the Lich King have broken free of his grasp and formed a new alliance against his tyranny. You will welcome these former heroes of the Alliance and treat them with a respect that you would give to any ally of Stormwind. Glory to the Alliance. I beg. I King, you better have a good-ass day. Yeah, that's what I thought. Yeah, keep the tomatoes to yourself. Yeah, that's right, bitch. Yeah, hey. Right back at you, buddy. Yeah. What? I did that. Wait, what? Did I always do that? Did I? Did I always do that? What did I do? Oh, all right, dude. Well, there it is. That is the intro question for being a death knight in a Rathalich King beta. We saw some bugs that's a pretty incredible question. It's really, really fun. It's really good. I think it explains how the death knight come to be a part of the rest of the world like really, really well. And yeah, I'm well 58 now and then basically you're set up to go straight into Outland and then level in Outland and then go to Northrend. So pretty cool.
