Wrath Of The Lich King SPOILERS!

For those who have no idear what I'm talking about check out this
alright we got that covered.But now for the spoiulers.First I'll tell you I get none of this information from anyfansites however the link is here
Now the spoilers start
*NOTE*:the is an access point (a giant turtal) that will take you to and fro Borean Tundra and Howling Fjord.
REGIONS.
1. Howling Fjord
Howilng Fjord is to the right of Northrend at the bottom.The lvl range is 68-72 which is nice for any lvl 70's out there. The races will be:Human,Ironforge Dwarf,ice Troll,Drakkari,Furbolgs,Tuskarr,Scourge,Vrykul.
The intro To Howling Fjord:Howling Fjord has dark forests, open plains, treacherous rocks, and what used to be the only city — and port — on the continent. The north edge of the Howling Fjord has low hills and thick forest. The land smooths out to the south, however, and the trees fade back, to be replaced by grain and a few hardy fruits and vegetables. Daggercap Bay dominates the southern end, which is all rock. Most people live in Valgarde or in a semicircle above it. The fjord has its share of wildlife. Bears, wolves and other creatures prowl the forests, and small animals sneak through the farmland as well. Birds roost in the trees and steal grain and seeds, and the warmer climate and rich soil draws insects and other vermin as well.
The Howling Fjord received its name, because the wind races in from the sea on all three sides, producing a constant howl like a maddened beast seeking its prey. Other than the noise, the Howling Fjord is pleasant. It’s not as heavily forested as the Grizzly Hills, or as hilly, but the temperature here is a little milder; between that and the flatter terrain it’s an ideal place to grow grain and other crops. Small farms dot the landscape, particularly down south near Valgarde. To the north the trees begin again, and creatures roam there from the hills above, making it more dangerous but also an excellent place for hunters.
This is the only region in Northrend that was dominated by humans and dwarves. That’s entirely because of Valgarde, however — without that city it would be an even match between us and the Drakkari and the furbolgs. No one’s factored the murlocs in, either. Almost everyone lives in Valgarde. The exceptions are the farmers, who have their thickwalled farmhouses by their fields, and the hunters and trappers, who live in small camps among the trees and come south only to trade or sell. This region is also the only Alliance-dominated region in Northrend. The Howling Fjord really is Alliance territory, though, and here the Drakkari and even the furbolgs are the ones at risk.Recently, the Vrykul have appeared and the Forsaken have built a city contesting the region's Alliance territory status.
The History of Howling Fjord is as follows:The Howling Fjord was a favorite on Northrend from the first time explorers reached the continent through Daggercap Bay. The natural harbor provided an ideal launching point for expeditions throughout the continent. After the Lich King arrived, the Scourge swept across the continent, conquering its races and claiming many of the towns and citadels. During the Third War, Prince Arthas of Lordaeron arrived with soldiers to destroy the dreadlord Mal'Ganis and punish him for the plague unleashed in Lordaeron. Arthas and the noble Muradin Bronzebeard joined forces against Mal’Ganis, then thought to be the Lich King's lackey. When Arthas’s father summoned him home again, the prince responded by burning his own ships, thus forcing his men to stay and fight. He obtained the cursed sword Frostmourne in this region, killing Muradin in the process, and defeated Mal’Ganis but lost his soul to the Lich King as a result. Arthas staggered away alone after the battle, and his men were left behind, stranded on Northrend. These humans and dwarves founded Valgarde. They also built the fortifications that protect it to this day. As Valgarde grew its residents forced the Drakkari and furbolgs back into the Grizzly Hills and beyond, making the region safe enough for brave farmers to till the land.In Wrath of the Lich King, the settlers of Valgarde have to deal with newly reawakened Vrykul warriors, who raid them from their home of Utgarde Keep. In addition, Ironforge prospectors have discovered a new race of Iron Dwarves which may hint to their own ancient origins. Finally, Sylvanas and the Forsaken have settled here and engineered a new plague, ready to strike at the Lich King. Their settlement is called New Agamand, named for the famous Tirisfal Glades mills family.
The Goegraphy:There is a boat port connected to the Alliance town of Valgarde, but it is unknown whether the boat will be coming from Menethil Harbor in the Wetlands or Theramore Isle in Dustwallow Marsh. The evidence appears to point to Theramore, as there are two unused docks in the Theramore harbor.
For the Blizzcon 2007 test realms, a boat was provided from the southern dock in Auberdine in Darkshore, replacing the normal boat to Menethil. However, it is unlikely this is a final design.

Finally,The Link:Howling Fjord
2.Borean Tundra
Borean Tundra is the 2nd starting Region besideds Howling Fjord. The lvl range is 68-72 just like Howling Fjord,but is located to the bottom left of Northrend.The races will be:Tuskarr,Ice Troll,Drakkari,Naga,Blue Dragonflight,Scourge,Gnome,and Orc.
The Intro To Borean Tundra:Located at the far western edge of Northrend, the Borean Tundra (pronounced BOHR-ian, not boh-REHH-an) is the home of the Tuskarr. Drakkari trolls, blue dragons, the Undead Scourge and naga also inhabit the zone. Important landmarks of the region include the Tuskarr capital of Kaskala and the Riplash Ruins. Coldarra is an island just off the coast.
Most of the Borean Tundra is empty ice. Tuskarr are the dominant presence in the Borean Tundra. However, they keep near their villages, and one can go for days without seeing another living creature. Tuskarr mainly care about fishing, whaling and protecting their villages. Tuskarr will fend off hungry Drakkari, and even fight wayward nerubians, and are formidable foes; but they never attack anyone without good reason. Drakkari wander the tundra, but not in any significant numbers, most are content to roam alone or in small packs. They have no city in the tundra, but live in several camps, none big enough to have names. They harass the tuskarr from time to time, but every time the tuskarr gather their forces and send the Drakkari running. Nerubians wander about as well, but only in small packs. Naga live near the south end, in the Riplash Ruins. Sometimes blue dragons from Coldarra also fly over the tundra from time to time. Scourge creatures, lone scouts straggle over from the lake area.
The Borean Tundra is not an important part of Northrend. It’s too isolated and too barren to be desirable and has too much shoreline to be defensible. Tuskarr like it because of that expansive shore, and the Riplash Ruins gives the naga a perfect view of anyone approaching across the ocean from the south. Drakkari hunt here because they can and because the tundra provides little cover for wildlife. Most others stay well away, preferring the forested areas to the east.
The Histiory of Borean Tundra:The nerubians were in the Borean Tundra first, according to the ruins. However, the ruins may be parts of Azjol-Nerub that were thrust up from underground, though, unless it was an experiment to see if they could be comfortable living above ground. If the latter is the case it may have failed, since it is a ruin. The tuskarr were next — Kaskala’s oldest village is at least several centuries old, and the rest grew up around it as family members split off to start their own smaller families. The Drakkari are more recent additions to the area and have no fixed settlement. The Scourge rarely appears, and its agents never stay longer than it takes to patrol and look for potential dangers or new recruits.In World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King, the Horde has established the settlement of Warsong Hold under the command of the Mag'hari son of Grom, Garrosh Hellscream. The Horde has created a pact with the local and culturally similar Tuskarr, who are under siege from naga based at the Riplash Ruins. These naga intend to use their generators to melt the surrounding ice caps. Garrosh and his forces have also discovered the enigmatic taunka, an ancient offshoot of the tauren race thought to be lost forever.
The Geography:The Borean Tundra is wide, flat and cold. A solid sheet of ice covers it, and beneath that is soil frozen rock-hard. Along the west edge the ice rises up into some nasty cliffs, which then shear off into the Westrift. To the north the ice smooths out into one glittering sheet that’s glass-slick and leads right to Lake Wintergrasp. The northwest corner, up by the Sholazar Basin, has no ice and only a little snow — a few hardy souls have even set up farms there. The east is also gentler, still snow-covered but less treacherous where it leads down to the ocean.
At its north edge the tundra runs into Lake Wintergrasp, a vast frozen lake that effectively shields it from the Dragonblight and Icecrown Glacier. The only way to reach these areas overland is across the mountains bordering the Dragonblight or through the Sholazar Basin, neither which are easy. An army would be suicidal to attempt either. Not many plants can survive up here. Without any cover the wind is fierce enough to tear flesh, and people can barely hear themselves when they shout. A few trees manage to hang on, evergreens, but the small twisted kind rather than the tall proud ones out east. Wolves and rabbits and foxes and even bears, roam this area. However, most of the life is in the water.
This is the longest region in Northrend, running from its southwest tip up to Lake Wintergrasp. The ground here is more dirt than rock, and small trees and scrub dot the landscape. But everything is still frozen solid. Somehow the tundra avoids most of Northrend’s problems. The Scourge rarely comes here, the Drakkari are only a minor nuisance, and even the ice storms are less severe. Perhaps the Borean Tundra owes its fortune to its isolation. Along its south edge is the ocean, of course, and along the southwest tip as well.
Warsong Hold has a zeppelin tower connecting it to one of the other two continents and to Vengeance Landing in Howling Fjord, and Justice Keep has a dock connecting it to the rest of the world.

Yes there are Alliance Death Knights but since i am a Horde fan in both WoW and in the lore (i can the whole warcraft history) i only posted Horde DKs.
Just ask on if you want to know anything about Northrend or the entire lore of warcraft.
Kraken.
Its all over the Internet
ALL WoW site have these leaked info. You can even download and play the WotLK alpha...
But here are some sites.
Wowinsider.com
Mmo-champion.com
Worldofraids.com
For ultimate WotLK spoilers, watch this site.
http://wotlk.wikidot.com/
Blizzard may close it like they did when there was a similar site long ago with leaked info of the Burning Crusade expansion.
And im a hacker/explorer/exploiter myself so i know lots of stuff of this and will keep posting spoilers untill Blizzard comes and kills me

The Alliance is crueler then the Horde...
Anyway there are two kinds of Death Knights.
Orc Death Knights (they dont exist more, they where a part of the "old Horde" that was evil) and Scourge Death Knights (the ones we play).
The Orc Death Knights were orc souls that were put into human bodies. They were elite troops of the old Horde and had many powerful spells to assist them.
They where in the game Warcraft 2 aka the Second War in the history.
Scourge Death Knights were from the begining fallen paladins.
These Paladins were both alive and undead.
They had fallen to the shadows and joined the undead Scourge.
Arthas was the first Death Knight. He was first a Paladin, then a Death Knight and now a demigod, the Lich King.
Anyway the Death Knights grew in numbers and now it was not only paladins who became it. They trained lots of Death Knights of many races. The Death Knights are bound to the Lich King and many didnt want to become Death Knights.
But recently a group of Death Knights broke free from the Lich Kings control and joined the Alliance and the Horde.
They have betrayded the Lich King and wishes to destroy him.
Humans were the first Scourge death knights (since the Undead focused to attack humans).
All races can take a darker path and become corrupted and twisted.
In WoW no race is really 100% good. Not even the Alliance or the Horde. There are several quests when you do stuff that is not so moral or ethical.
And i dare say that the Horde is more peaceful then the Alliance (they are kind of... racist).
Anyway lots of more info later about more leaked WotLK info.

We will kill the body only, but not "the spirit" inside it.
And after Arthas there are lots of other threats and bosses, the game will end in like 10-years.
Azshara, Neputlon, Al'akir, The Old Gods, The Nightmare, Deathwing, Ysera, Nozdrumo, Sargeras, Kil'Jaeden 2.0 etc

Chris Metzen once said that the developers are planning a really special and interesting comeuppance for Arthas. I hardly think a few thousand weirdoes with clan names like "Fried Cheese Sandwich" invading Icecrown and pummelling him into submission equates to that.
