Death Knight quest givers are spread out over the various Crusader establishments. From one Orbaz Bloodbane in the New Avalon tavern, you receive a quest to sneak into the nearby harbor, in disguise ofcourse :yes:

Also, I just had to slay a poor gnome prisoner for a quest, that was sad ><

One of the cool things about the starting zone is the world actually changes in your instance, you can see other DK's that are as progressed as you are, but DK's in other stages will only be visible from their chatter, spooky when people talk in /say but you can't see them :eek:

The Lich King has moved outside to overview the destruction in this stage:

PS. Was wondering why the runeforging clip was so hawt, now I found it's on the frontpage of http://deathknight.info/ :p

Well I really haven't been able to kill much yet, alot of quests are fast and easy, and most of my time so far has gone to frapsing stuff, I do like Blood so far, the healthgain during/after combat makes the whole thing quite smooth :)

Yea, the usual stuff in blood really, stuff that increases crit/crit damage, just got a new strike that lowers the targets max HP, and so on, really need to fight more to see how it all works out.

Look who I ran into now:

Think you should get an achievement for finding Mograine in that place or possibly how to get back in :shy:

That gear looks sweet.
I also have a question: What is that Spirit Tap (the green thing) looking buff you have in all your pics?

It's a buff granted by the Lich King, it actually resurrects you on the spot when you die in the new zone, with a 10min CD, pretty nice, but not really needed, not sure why it's there <_<

After the bombing run I decided to try out the docking bay of Ebon Hold. It actually worked, but you can only fly in, not out, guess that'll get fixed at some point :p

Figured I could add some Alpha shots I had lying around. Unfortunately I couldn't find the best one where The Lich King executes you in the first zone if you run into him (with a quest item that gives you invisibility). He kills you with an ability called "Wrath of the Lich King" which is a nice pun. :D

Aaaaaaaanyways:

Murloc quest giver:

Murloc that is dual wielding a Cata's Edge and S3 Mace (I got Hexed :D):

wowscrnshot060108162429vt7.jpg


"Get on the Gryph, I got candy" (also, spot the Terminator reference):

wowscrnshot060108155042bj4.jpg


This keep is just amazing. You can see all the old Naxx bosses on the pic while they are being explained by some NPCs. Seriously, if you like Lore even remotely, check this place out!

wowscrnshot060108153327ou2.jpg


A quest where you have to cleanse your soul by fighting your inner evil (I don't think your mirror used the same abilities as you, though :()

wowscrnshot060108143212yn0.jpg


A new form of daily: You get to fly a Flying Machine and need to lift up 3 packets on some platforms.

Just so people can see how the old DK unitframe looked like:
