The Lich King Awaits...
Fans of World of Warcraft, prepare for Blizzard Entertainment's next installment
-- World of Warcraft: Wrath of King Lich Expansion Set. In this latest
expansion, something is afoot in the cold, harsh northlands. The Lich King
Arthas has set in motion events that could lead to the extinction of all life on
Azeroth. The necromantic power of the plague and legions of undead armies
threaten to sweep across the land. Only the mightiest heroes can oppose the Lich
King and end his reign of terror.
World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King builds on the rich foundation
established in World of Warcraft and its first expansion, The Burning Crusade,
by providing a wealth of new content for players to explore in the harsh,
forbidding continent of Northrend, home of the Lich King and his undead minions.
To contend with the new challenges found there, players will be able to advance
to level 80, acquiring potent new abilities and talents along the way.
Wrath of the Lich King introduces the death knight Hero class to World of
Warcraft. The player-vs.-player battles reach a new level of intensity with the
addition of siege vehicles and destructible buildings, along with a new
Battleground, Strand of the Ancients. The expansion also introduces an
abundance of new quests, dungeons, monsters, items, and recipes, as well as a
new profession, Inscription. Additional character-customization options will be
introduced, such as new hair styles, available in the new barbershops.
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 fate 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, armored, 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 bones 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 mountains 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 southwestern 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 southeastern 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 Flesh 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 Flesh Giants
are nothing short of nightmarish abominations. Cobbled together from the pieces
of giant body parts, the Flesh Giants employ tremendous strength to carry out
the Lich King's wishes.

life on Azeroth. With the undead legions of the Scourge threatening to
