December Loot Reveal - DEATH KNIGHT (and DRAGONFLIGHT SPECIALS) (Patreon)

Finally as we approach this year's end, we meet the Death Knight, as their warlock student bows under the watchful eye of their ice phoenix.

This pack includes a Death Knight class card, Phoenix pin, and lore card of the Death Knight's throne room.

It also includes 2 A5 dragon-themed prints and a dragon sticker to celebrate the launch of Dragonflight.

Footsteps echo upon glassy tile, a knee bent at the foot of the frozen throne. Your protege has returned home.

As their companion surrenders to bone and ash, they hang their head low. A once proud warlock speaking in shame, of defeat, of surrender, of retreat. You do not hear such things. Your current set of eyes and ears perch high upon the crest of your chair, as you hear words of survival. Of perseverance. Of magic.

It comes as no surprise that they would target your student so. Your ways have oft been the subject of fear and anger among those too blind, and ignorant, to understand.

Many moons ago, those very same fools took your head in the name of stamping out your magic. A punishment... for what?
You were once like them. A knight, a paladin, tasked to upkeep the law and order of this world. An example of all that one should be, in the eyes of the common man.

It was your belief that as such, you carried with you, a duty. To keep pressing this world, these people, forward. A beacon to follow, one who would continue to inspire, to push the limits of magic forward. And so, you did exactly that. Your discovery was like no other... to conjure, imbue and maintain the very essence of life itself. Death and sickness now mere temporary states in your hand.

The knowledge which allowed you to create existence from nothingness.

Yet that day, when you unveiled your creations, your work... you saw the true face of the order. These were no beacons, no lights to lead the people forward into a new age. They were mere preservationists, happy to snuff out each torch and cower in the dark. It was only in the blind of dark, that they could be trusted, after all.

You believed you would be met with reverence, with gratitude, with awe. Instead you were met with fear, with imprisonment... with the stocks.

And yet, you live on. With eyes that reach above the skies themselves, and with a voice that carries through each living creature, you continue to rise. You are no mere torch to be snuffed out. Your path is lit by the stars themselves, unchanging, everlasting. And from that day, many have chosen to walk your path, to take in your message, to shine in the skies themselves.

Your student speaks of defeat, but you see no such thing. They may target your homes, they may burn your work, they may chase you to the outskirts of the world itself, but these are desperate acts of futility. Ants swarming upon a dragon.

They may have taken your head, but your voice rings louder than ever before.
