The Lorekeeper's Tome

The Death Knight is the dark mirror of the holy warrior: a mighty fighter, fallen and risen whole - not as mindless bone but as a thinking, willful undead lord, its martial skill intact and the dark divine power of the Unmaking now at its command. Where a Paladin draws on the Living Sun to heal and ward, a Death Knight draws on the Dark Sun to wither and slay, a champion of the faith of nothing clad in black armor and terrible purpose. To raise one is among the gravest works of the Unmaking, and a Death Knight in the field marks the enemy's deepest commitment - a soul deliberately broken and rebuilt as a weapon.
