Blizzard goes further with Cataclysm and what is an expansion, it seems more World of Warcraft 2.0 as the redesign reaches unsuspected limits.
We all knew that the new races would have new narratives but what we did not imagine is that the old ones too. All races now have a narrative that adapts to the current Lore so that it is not at odds (which is appreciated).
Here are the transcripts and audios of each race ... and of the Death Knights !:
Death knights
A hero is what you once were. You bravely stood before the shadows and acquired another beginning for the world with your life. The evil you fought against was not so easy to banish and the victory you claimed was not so easy to maintain. Now, the specter of death is once again looming over the world and it has found new champions to reach its absolute realm. Knights of Darkness who wield runes of death and destruction bound by the will of the Lich King. The hour of your ascension has arrived… The hour of your dark rebirth has arrived…
