What’s a “Story Night” anyway?
Think of a gathering of folks relaxing by the fire, telling stories. It’s that simple! You may have done this in everyday life yourself at summer camp, camping trips or just hanging out with friends on a weekend afternoon or at a Mickey D’s on a weeknight. The same basic idea applies.
Death Warmed Over: Death Knights I

[Potential Spoilers - so be warned]
A hero… That’s what you once were.
You stood boldly against the shadow and purchased another dawn for the world…
…with your life.
But the evil your fought is not so easily banished…
The victory you claimed, not so easily held…
For now, the specter of death looms above the world yet again, and has found new champions to bring about it’s final reign. Knights of darkness, wielding runes of death and destruction, bound by the will of The Lich King.
This is the hour of their ascension…
This is the hour of your dark rebirth…
— game intro for Death Knights
The first step in trying to role-playing a death knight is this introduction. While you can have a different backstory or course, but the “standard” is that you fought against the Scourge (or similar) and died.
That life ended, and this one begins under “new management”.
So, you’ve probably guess this isn’t Hello Kitty Online – so let’s take a look at what happened to your character right before you pressed [Enter World] for the first time.
Death Knights are not nice people. Yeah, I know that’s a big shocker, right? (*grins*) Let’s take a look at your “humble” beginnings, as it were.
Death Warmed Over: Death Knights III

The Scarlet Enclave. Defenses are failing as the necropolis looms over as if some vile dark gavel of judgment.
Overun by scourge forces…
The Scarlets have little chance of surviving the onslaught. Families and their loved ones – fought, tortured and murdered.
No safety, no mercy… no rescue.
Mostly in part from you (your character, of course – not you… really! *grin*) and your fellow Death Knights.
From the death wagons of the Scourge to a tool of death and, your new “life” has been to the will of the Lich King with no question or second thought. But something, somewhere tugs at you… but what?
