What the fudge is a runeblade?
A vampiric runeblade is the weapon that Death knights use.  It is required for casting their class-related spells.  For third generation (Player-made) Death knights there can be several runeblades - all it requires is runeforging them, turning a simple sword into a more potent weapon of death and destruction.

What makes for a weapon that looks like a runeblade?
A pattern on the blade that could resemble runes or something that is otherwise gothic works.


These are the runeblades you can achieve through the Death knight starting zone, Runed Soulblade, Greataxe of the Ebon Blade and Greatsword of the Ebon Blade.  They can be bought from Quartermaster Ozorg by Death knights that are out of the starting area.

They don't necessarily have to look runed, runeforging can make up for a lack of rune-ish patterns on swords like the runed soulblade.  As long as the weapon has a blade and looks somewhat dark/not mundane/cool it should be fine, though your Death knight can technically runeforge whatever has a blade on it.  You're free to pick something like the Skettis Curved Blade if you want.

Here are some good designs I have compiled.

Because screencaps of them badgering me on an online game belongs to them I guess.

Yes you, Keshira on Steamwheedle cartel.  European Steamwheedle obviously, not blacklisting someone in Americaland because I don't play there.

Also, if you are going to stealth near Erpers make sure you are 85 first.

Or um...This happens.

I kind of laugh at 'GO ON THEN TICKET ME' coupled with ghi blocking the ticket, then :| at what they are saying.

  Like worgen druids, the specifics surrounding this race-class combination are a bit foggy.  Doubly so for the backstory considering a worgen Death knight character will not of gone through the Gilnean starting zone - at least not with the only backstory we have given for them.
  Given the size of this guide in comparision to the last, I will say that undead, especially Death knights, can be prone to amnesia.  You may create one first and digest the guide for a character backstory later if you wish, but at the very least you should take into account what being an undead entails.  This is touched upon in The Death knight section

Are Worgen Death knights Lorelol?
  Strictly speaking, no - they have been implemented into the game with at least one character validating their presence.  The confusion regarding their validity comes about because the Val'kyr were unable to raise worgen-cursed bodies in Silverpine as Forsaken.  This was answered in Ask CDev 2 as to why the Val'kyr couldn't raise them - they just aren't as powerful as the Lich King (And perhaps the human necromancers involved in raising Death knights) and the worgen's ties to nature makes them harder to raise.
  Adding to the confusion is the fact that they weren't seen prior to Cataclysm's release - their existance was pretty much retconned in later.  The playable races wouldn't of been the only candidates for being risen as the Scourge as Death knights, however - Vrykul ones are in game, and trolls besides the Darkspear are pretty widespread.
  There is also the matter of them having free will once they break free of the Scourge instead of being a mindless feral without inbibing the waters of Tal'doren, however this could of been explained away by Arugal's experimentation.  In Ask CDev 3, it was finally explained as the mind control over Death knights snuffing out the feral aspect to leave the human mind in control.
  They are shoe-horned in, they are barely explained and raise questions with little information to answer them with as to their state - but they are not lorebreaking.
