Bolvar's Death Knights

[TheHonorableBandit]

So with the new datamined weapons and Allied Race models, most bets seem to be based on a whole new starter quest chain for future (probably only Allied Races) Death Knights.

Now, considering the color difference in the quest rewards compared to the Arthas Lich King, could this mean the Allied Race/Bolvar Death Knights will a different style as well? Perhaps fiery eyes instead of icy blue eyes, things like that. Let me know what you'd like to see in these potentially new style of Death Knights below!

I could see them adding a fire eyes option for new Death Knights to customize, even though I still don't understand how Bolvar's powers are any different than Arthas' just because he got breathed on by Red Dragons.

Might be some kind of Azerothian flu virus, that's my only conclusion.

Since we've never seen Bolvar (crispy version) fight, or do anything for that matter, it is hard to gauge how strong he is as a warrior. Since he calls himself the LK it's safe to assume that he has the same level of control as Arthas did, but he is lacking Frostmourne (or a comparable weapon), so I'd say he's a weaker fighter. Just speculation, of course.

As for cosmetic options, I doubt that we'd get a second Death Knight class. Night Elf style orange glow eyes, on the other hand, I find likely.

[Nerovar]

Would be awesome to see Bolvar get a Death Knight version of his old armor and a weapon to match it.

Every DK then:

I think it'd be cool options for customization. Maybe the new zone could have Bolvar getting the assistance from the Red Dragon flight to "cauterize" the 4th War fallen as either symbolism or out of some necessity to differentiate the new DKs from Scourge. Either way, I'm really hoping DKs get major love. They've not been the same for me since they removed talent trees and the ability to choose playstyle.

Will only happen if the writers are on drugs.
Don't forget the Legion DK Mount Quest is Bolvar asking you to kill a lot of Red Dragons to raise into Undeath.

Never did that, thanks. I guess it wouldn't make sense, really.

I guess it wouldn't make sense too

If they are as weak as Bolvar... bowled over.. he can keep them. Hard pass.

[Poppets]

I hope the quest takes place BEFORE the shadowlands cinematic, he is now without frostmourne and helm of domination, where would his powers to create dks come from?

[MrSaggins]

Dark Iron Dwarves are ready to rep the fire eyes. Maybe they smithed his hammer?

I'd like to see you try solo Sylvanas.

I believe it does happen before it from what I've read. Even without the helm though the Ebon Blade and the DK Champion(player) have been going around ressing people and creating new Deathknights anyways.

[Poppets]

I know the dk champion had in legion, well we we're given that ability by LK(bolvar) to raise the 4 horseman loyal only to the LK. But I would think the ability to raise more is done. Which also leads to the question, to whom do the 4 horsemans loyalties lie. There is no Lich King now.

Ebon Blade I assume unless proven otherwise.

Blizzard mentioned that it will take place in a sliver of time before Sylvanas shatters the veil

[Poppets]

Yea just read that on front page.

[Th3Scourge]

Ebon Blade I assume unless proven otherwise.

Ultimately they serve Acherus and the Ebon Blade. In the Legion campaign, Bolvar mentions that if we (player) fails he will take control of Acherus for his own ends
