Lore Watch Podcast: Suffer well: the lore of Death Knights in World of Warcraft

Death Knights, one of the most iconic, lore-heavy classes added to World of Warcraft, are the core topic of this week’s Lore Watch, this time with a focus on what dead means, really. Join Joe and Matt as they discuss the other types of undead we know, and how their existence shapes current Death Knights. The concept of Death Knights, and death in general started a long time ago in WoW‘s history, so there’s a lot of ground to cover.

How were they made? Are they fully dead, or partly alive? How will they make new Death Knights since Sylvanas destroyed the Helm of Domination? And do they literally have to “suffer well?” All addressed in this week’s Lore Watch.

Thanks to our supporter Tetsemi for the question.
