A: Simply install Wrath of the Lich King and have any character level 55 or above, there is no level 80 prerequisite quest, there is no option to sacrifice a character.
Q: Do I lose a character in order to make a Death Knight?
A: Only if your character slots are already full. You do NOT sacrifice a character.
Q: What races can be Death Knights?
A: All races can be Death Knights and are accommodated in the starting quests as such. (But I won't spoil that for you.)
Q: What do class based racials do for Death Knights?
A: A Draenei gets a 1% melee hit, an Orc gets 5% increased ghoul damage from command, a Blood Elf generates 15 runic power with Arcane Torrent.
Q: Do I need to level professions from zero?
A: Sadly, yes, besides first aid with which you start having the ability to make Heavy Runecloth Bandages.
Q: What features does the Death Knight class have?
A: Death Knights have many unique features, some of such being:
A jump start to level 55.
A unique and enjoyable starting area, with many amazing quests.
Q: Can you tell me more of the mounts you mentioned?
A: The Acherus Death Charger is a quest reward which is at epic ground mount speed, which is acquired between levels 55 and 60. The winged Steed of the Ebon Blade is a mount which requires 225 mount skill and a base cost (before reputation) of 1000 gold to purchase, when at 225 skill it is a standard 60% speed flying mount, at 300 skill it is at the standard epic 280% speed, this mount requires level 60 to use.

Q: What weapons can a Death Knight use?
A: Death Knights can use; one and two handed swords, one and two handed axes, polearms, and with training; one and two handed maces.
Q: Where do I start off my unholy adventures?
A: You start in Acherus, The Ebon Hold, where the scourge is preparing an assault upon the Scarlet Crusade. This is an instanced starting zone where you are separated from the opposite faction and anybody who has completed the chain or is not a death night may not enter.
So no need to worry about gank fests besides falling off dragons.
Q: What is Runeforging?
A: Runeforging is a form of Death Knight personal weapon enchantment proffession, new spells are learnt off the class trainer every so often, the enchantments give benefits such as parry chance increase, on swing proccing frost and shadow damage increase, 15% strength increase, 2% stamina and defense skill increase.
These do not stack with enchants given by the enchanting proffession.
