Death Knights were powerful warriors who accepted eternal undeath rather than face the end of their mortal existence. With their souls bound to the weapons they wield, death knights command necrotic power in addition to their undiminished martial prowess.
A death knight’s armor and weapons are the same items it used in life, but their appearance is often transformed into deadly echoes of their past forms. Its armor is fire-blackened, etched with blasphemous runes, and often adorned with bloodstained spikes. Its weapon—which contains the death knight’s soul—is still brightly polished but crackles with dark necrotic energy.
Death knights are skeletal warriors who retain the intelligence and combat skills they had in life. They often lead other undead soldiers in a war against the living.
A death knight carries its soul in its weapon, which has the power to become ghostly and pass through armor as if it was not there. If you take a death knight’s weapon, you daze and weaken it. A death knight’s soul weapon dazes and weakens anyone else who wields it as long as the death knight has not been destroyed. If you break a death knight’s weapon, the death knight can restore it with a touch.
The ritual to become a death knight is said to have originated with Orcus, Demon Prince of the Undead. Many death knights gained access to the ritual by contacting Orcus or his servants directly, but some discovered the ritual through other means.
Death Knights are Rank B Monsters.
