Ebon Hold Guided Tour - 53 Screenshots (Quests, Ashbringer, Mograine...)

Let's first start with a
video of the Death Knight intro, followed by a guided tour of Acherus: The Ebon Hold. Your Death Knight starts with 0 talent points and you can't port out of EH (ebon hold) until you have completed your DK training (all quests in EH), you probably get talent points once you are done with the training.

More Screenshots (53)

Update: New Death Knight Mechanic: Runeforging (Screenshot)

There's a new mechanic for Death Knights that wasn't available before the Beta build.  Teza went into the game and got all the details on what each Rune does for your weapon!  Details are below, but hit up the gallery for screenshots.  It doesn't require anything special at the moment except that you need to be at the Rune Forge located in Ebon Hold.  If there, you can change runes out as many times as you want, whenever you want.

Rune of Lichbane -- Affixes your rune weapon with a rune that has a chance to strike undead for extra Fire damage and stun them for 5 sec. Modifying your rune weapon requires a Rune Forge in Ebon Hold.
Rune of the Fallen Crusader -- Affixes your rune weapon with a rune that has a chance to heal you for 3% and increase total Strength by 30% for 15 sec. Modifying your rune weapon requires a Rune Forge in Ebon Hold.
Rune of Spellbreaking -- Affixes your two-handed rune weapon with a rune that deflects 5% of all spell damage. Modifying your rune weapon requires a Rune Forge in Ebon Hold.
Rune of Frostfever -- Affixes your rune weapon with a rune that has a chance to inflict a disease that causes Frost damage and lowers attack power by 10% for 20 sec. Modifying your rune weapon requires a Rune Forge in Ebon Hold.
Rune of Cinderglacier -- Affixes your rune weapon with a rune that has a chance to increase your Frost and Shadow spell damage by 10% for 15 sec. Modifying your rune weapon requires a Rune Forge in Ebon Hold.
Rune of Swordbreaking -- Affixes your two-handed rune weapon with a rune that increases Parry chance by 3%. Modifying your rune weapon requires a Rune Forge in Ebon Hold.

I like the sounds of Rune of the Fallen Crusader - How long does this last ? or its it a permanent enchantment to a weapon ?
In addition does anyone know if runes are like oils or an enchant ? if a enchant I guess it wont stack with others.

One thing disheartens me, the beacon of lights poor healing and extremely high mana cost, by the looks of it now its a pretty weak spell I mean higher mana cost than actual healing? bleh I guess it must scale well with +spellpower

It is a pretty strong HoT. Imagine casting this on the MT, everyone in the raid in range (melee dps etc.) will be healed for said amount. Thing to consider though is that the healthcounts in Wrath of the Lich King will be pretty high, making this with its amount of healing done comparable to a simple Renew or Rejuvenation.

But still.
