Can Death Knights be Alliance?
Death Knights, one of the most iconic and feared classes in World of Warcraft, have been a staple of the Horde for many years. However, with the recent introduction of Allied Races and the ability to create Death Knights from these factions, the question on many players’ minds is: can Death Knights be Alliance?
The Short Answer
Yes, Death Knights can be Alliance. With the launch of Visions of N’Zoth, players who have pre-purchased World of Warcraft: Shadowlands will be able to create pandaren and Allied Race Death Knights, including the newly available vulpera and mechagnomes. This means that Alliance players will finally have the opportunity to play as a Death Knight, bringing a new level of depth and complexity to the class.
The History of Death Knights
Death Knights have a long and storied history in World of Warcraft, dating back to the early days of the game. Originally, Death Knights were a result of the Lich King’s experiments on the orcish warrior, Arthas Menethil. Through the power of the Frostmourne, Arthas was able to raise his own undead army, becoming the first Death Knight.
The Rise of the Knights of the Ebon Blade
After Arthas’s defeat, the Death Knights were reorganized into the Knights of the Ebon Blade, led by Highlord Mograine. The Ebon Blade was tasked with redeeming the Death Knights and using their powers for good. This marked a significant shift in the Death Knights’ role, as they were no longer solely focused on destruction and chaos.
Allied Races and the Future of Death Knights
With the introduction of Allied Races, the door is now open for Alliance players to join the ranks of the Death Knights. The Allied Races, including the pandaren, vulpera, and mechagnomes, will be able to create their own Death Knights, bringing a new level of diversity and customization to the class.

Here are some key features of Death Knights that make them a unique and powerful class:
- Undead: Death Knights are undead, giving them a unique set of abilities and playstyle.
