Many new instances are found in Northrend including a newly updated Naxxramas that now floats above the Dragonblight.

Introduction of Hero Classes and the Debut of the Death Knight

Hero classes finally make an appearance in World of WarCraft Wrath of the Lich King with death knight being the first and only available so far. He is creatable when players reach level 55 and start out at that level complete with a barrage of skills available. The death knight will also have a unique combat system that uses runes. Any race in any faction is capable of creating this formidable character.
