Notes[]

  • The book was added in as a tribute to the users who actively assisted in the WotLK Alpha Forums and posted on death knight avatars. And of course, to make others laugh.
  • The book can be found on the second floor of Acherus: The Ebon Hold on a platform to the left-most side of the area.
  • The book is updated 3 times (4 including the starting phase) after completing the quests N Death Knight [8-30] Victory At Death's Breach!, N Death Knight [8-30] The Scarlet Apocalypse, and then N Death Knight [8-30] An End To All Things....
  • The death knights mentioned here who remain alive can be seen in Icecrown during N [25-30] The Air Stands Still.
  • It may have been written by Prince Valanar, as the author wanted to take Munch with him to Northrend, and the Report from the Frontlines: Dragonblight mentions the Prince wanting to take a death knight there.
  • The player's entry in Phase 3 seems to imply that, while in the service of the Scourge, the player was among the most violent, brutal and cruel Death Knights to ever live.
