Cult of the Damned

The Cult of the Damned is group of living beings that serve the Lich King. It was essentially created by the first Lich King, Ner'zhul, when he reached out to the mortal races that inhabited Azeroth. Kel'Thuzad, a human sorcerer, was one of these, and would one day rise to become the leader of the cult. Within the ranks of the Cult of the Damned cultists aspire to become Undead; which is considered a high honor, and must be earned. They are known to reside around the Cathedral of Darkness, in Icecrown.
