Being a hero class, the Death Knight gets the wow gold privilege of starting out at a much higher level than other classes. It¡¯s a great feeling to be able to jump straight to the Outlands once you get out of the Death Knight starting area at level 58. But this same great thing could also make some feel a bit funny at least in terms of fitting in with the grand scheme of things in the story.

It¡¯s obvious that Death Knights belong in Northrend because that¡¯s when they finally begin to feel like they are part of the story, which is something they did not get since doing their starter quests. A friend of mine asked me this question earlier ¡°how far in the story do Death Knights start out in?¡± Strangely enough he has the expansion but hasn¡¯t finished the Death Knight starter area quests nor has he started questing in Northrend. He seems to like doing all the quests he¡¯s missed so he¡¯s still in Shadowmoon Valley. Anyway, he asked me the question because I told him that as a Death Knight, you get to deliver a message to High General Abbendis as her Scarlet Onlsaught prepare to leave on a boat to Northrend. If you look at all those people around her they are people you eventually encounter and kill in New Hearthglen in Dragonblight. Pushing the subject, other people you encounter in that DK starting area come back in Northrend like Prince Valanar as part of the quest Breaking Through in Borean Tundra. Prince Keleseth is the first boss in Utgarde Keep. Thassarian is an Alliance npc in the Borean Tundra.

With all that I mentioned above, I think my friend¡¯s question is at least worth giving some thought. If these guys existed in the DK starting area then how far back in the story are Death Knights in wow gold when they do the starting area quests? Considering how fast the Alliance and Horde set up their forces in Northrend, it¡¯s not at all unthinkable that these guys went to Northrend right after the incident in the starting area, putting these events just slightly before the Wrath story. But since Death Knights have to go through the Outlands and the Burning Crusade story, perhaps it happened way before the Wrath story giving all these guys a lot of time to set up in Northrend.
