Darion Mograine's lines for this quest:

Dialogue box:

This is an important moment. Make the knights proud, <name>.
>>> Reporting for duty.

Voiceover after clicking:

Highlord Darion Mograine: Dire times call for new allies. You come from a strong people. No doubt you will serve the Ebon Blade well.
It seems the Lich King has sensed the same truth as we had. That a rising threat stalks us from the shadows, and that we must bolster our ranks to face it.
There's little time for ceremony, <name>. Take up your blade and prove your mettle.
Conquer the darkness. Become its master.
Many in this world will fear you. Revile you. But they need you, more than they know.
Go forth and claim your destiny, death knight. And through all the trials you endure... suffer well.

For Quest Collector:

When you create an Allied Death Knight, you'll be put in Icecrown. Go up the stair to Lich King, you'll be given Death's Power Grows. Swear Fealty to Lich King, then you will get: Alliance: Defender of Azeroth or Horde Defender of Azeroth. Speak to [npc=29246] and report to duty, he will create Death Gate, you'll be in Org or SW.

Once in SW / Org, go to Command Board to turn in Alliance: Defender of Azeroth or Horde Defender of Azeroth.

After that is done, USE your [spell=317464] in your spellbook and it will take ya to Naxx where Death Knight resides. Go to [npc=29246] and from there, you will get Runeforging 101.

Description

An excellent choice. Troubling times come. As one of the chosen few, it is both your burden and privilege to defend our world. It is a great honor. But also know you will be met with the scorn of the ignorant. Oftentimes, mortals are incapable of seeing past our fearsome appearance. Ignore these fools and do what must be done. Speak with your commander. Then, use his death gate to travel to the land of the living and choose your destiny.

  • Death's Power GrowsLevel 10-90

    Listen closely, <name>. A time of great destruction lies on the horizon that will challenge our very existence. Now more than ever, we must rise to the defense of Azeroth. It is for this reason I have expanded the ranks of my champions to include your people.

After this quest

  • Runeforging 101Level 10-90

    As knights of the Ebon Blade, we must always be prepared for a variety of martial situations. To this end, the dark art of runeforging is yours to command. With it, runes of great power can be engraved upon your weapons. Above us in the Heart of Acherus are runeforges.
