Fans of World of Warcraft, prepare for Blizzard Entertainment's
next installment -- World of Warcraft: Wrath of King Lich. 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
se the Lich King and end his reign of terror.
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
e 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 s 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 ains 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 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 Giants are nothing short of nightmarish
abominations. Cobbled together from the pieces of giant body
parts, the Giants employ tremendous strength to carry out
the Lich King's wishes.
The World of Warcraft: Wrath of King Lich expansion pack allows

Hero class and allows you to transform your Death Knight's look

dances. You'll enjoy exploring the Northrend and all its
