This article is about the Death Knights alliance on the [[Alliance Server]].  For the other servers, please create your own wiki page.

Death Knights, often abbreviated to DK or DKnights, is a fairly new alliance, having not been an active alliance from [[Earth:2025]]. 

== General Info ==
Death Knights started in reset 1 under the leadership of [[Rahl]].  The alliance is back up and running after a two year absence.

== Alliance History ==
=== EE Reset One ===
DKnights vs [[LaF]]: This set was marked by struggle against LaF, which ultimately resulted in LaF victory.

=== EE Reset Two ===
This set, while very fun for Death Knights members, was a huge political faux pas.  Death Knights, for reasons unknown to the editor of this article, chose to violate their Unbreakable Non-Aggression Pact with [[SOL]].

Collab declared war on SOL to get even for the previous set.  SOL called in TIE* and NaturalS* to keep from getting destroyed.  Collab put out a call for help and DKnights were the first to jump to their aid.  A couple of days later, NA and EVO both joined the fight.  The war ended in Collab-DK-NA-Evo victory.

'* DKnights was not at war with TIE, although the other coalition members were
'* NaturalS consisted of tag jumpers from [[SoF]] to skirt around their [[uNAP]] with Collab

This victory would be short lived for Death Knights as they did not pact with any of their allies or enemies from this war.

=== EE Reset Three ===
SOL, furious over the uNAP violation, declared war on Death Knights.  Death Knights requested help from Collab only to be snubbed in favor of netting.  After three days, the Death Knights were demolished and Rahl began seeking a ceasefire.  SOL agreed to a ceasefire, but violated it repeatedly and farmed DK countries.  Due to their inability to perform even basic tag defense, morale hit a critical low and the alliance shuffled on to the end of the set and then disappear.

=== EE Reset Fifteen ===
Former members of the alliance stirred interest in reforming.  The effort was mostly the work of [[KyleCleric]].

=== EE Reset Sixteen ===
Death Knights reformed this set with five members.  Despite the size difference between Death Knights and other tags, they were able to hold off farming efforts and maintain tag integrity.  They also fought a brief conflict with [[Mors Ex Tenebris]], resulting in a Death Knights victory.  The fight nearly drew the small tag into another fight with SoF, the current war-superpower.  Mediation from [[Scode]] averted the conflict.  Halfway through the set, Death Knights announced a merger with [[Keep Off the Grass]], with KOtG members merging into DK.  Death Knights finished the set with 13 members and in 8th place among clans by average networth.

=== EE Reset Seventeen ===
Building on the success of the previous set, DK continued recruitment and had membership up to 19 by two weeks into the set.  The growth was not without problem as many newcomers made a habit of grabbing other countries because they could, and the retals added up.

War with [[NeoFed]] which resulted in a DKnights loss overall. This war was highly controversial as the reasons for DKnights FS seemed unclear to most of AT, as well as a few tag jumpers* to [[NeoFed]] that no one in war-ravaged DK could break. This along with inactivity as the war progressed ultimately lead to DK's downfall.

On a more positive note, a small nod of respect was given to the tag from respected alliance ranker [[Servant]], who rated the tag higher than the established tags [[NA]], [[NeoFed]], [[ICN]], and [[Rage]].



*Tag jumpers jumped after 73 hours of being untagged, thus rendering them neutral according to policy when they tagged to [[NeoFed]].

=== EE Reset Eighteen ===

War with [[NA]]?

I dont remember what we did this set - Mars47

=== EE Reset Nineteen ===
Netting Set; With a boost in recruitment, DK had a membership of 27 at the peak, and 21 at the end of the set. 
4 members finishing in the top 200; majority finishing top 300, with alot of improvement by "Green" members.

=== EE Reset Twenty ===
Leadership changes. [[Xelah]] is placed on inactive roster due to RL circumstances. [[Bstrong]] has been acting co-leader with [[Undertaker]] for 2 sets now when a meeting is called. [[BigRick]] becomes VP due to a vote with all members who showed up. [[Mars47]] calls to vote [[Undertaker]] step down as leader. [[Undertaker]] steps down as leader and hands reigns over to [[bstrong]], then promptly joins [[RD]]. [[Mars47]] then gets named as head FA, and [[m0bzta]] gets named head of war. After this DKnights had a nice "learning to net" set with a total of 23 members. 

=== EE Reset Twenty-one ===

On going.
