Welcome to Ask a Lore Nerd, where each week Alex Ziebart answers your quests about the lore in the World of Warcraft. If you have any questions, no matter how big or small they might be, ask them in the comments section below and we'll try to answer it in a future edition.
It's another beautiful Sunday, and it's time for another edition of Ask a Lore Nerd! Let's jump righ tin with realmreaver's question...
If the humans turned their back on the Forsaken due to their undead condition. Why are they all lovely dovey towards the Death Knights? Are not an army of undead LOVED ONES a necessary evil too?
The Death Knight questline explains their return to the Horde/Alliance, and supplies some reasoning for why their factions are okay with them. Forsaken, on the other hand, are painted by the game to be very anti-Human. Why in the world would Humans accept them, former loved ones or not? One of their battle cries is, "Death to the living!" and they say such things consciously aware of their words. It's a completely different situation.
If a group of Forsaken went through the same thing our Death Knights did and atoned the same way our Death Knights are, they'd potentially have a shot of joining the fold, at least for awhile. As it stands, the Forsaken reject Humanity just as much as Humans reject the Forsaken. Sylvanas is their Queen, Varian Wrynn is not their King.

Why is it that Arthas is known as the Lich King? From all of what I understand, Ner'zhul is really the spirit now in Arthas' body, or is at least the major presence in it. So, in reality, shouldn't we all be going "ARGH, NER'ZHUL!!" instead of "ARGH, ARTHAS!!"
What the hell is a Ner'zhul? Is that like, a sneeze? Did you sneeze? Do you need a tissue?
As other readers said, that's what most of the population of Azeroth would say if you called the Lich King Ner'zhul. He's significant to the Orcs, but not to anybody else. The name Ner'zhul holds no meaning. Prince Arthas Menethil, however, was Azeroth's celebrity. Everyone across the Eastern Kingdoms knew his name, and a fair chunk of Kalimdor came to know him during and after his fall.
To Azeroth, Ner'zhul does not exist. That name has no meaning. To Azeroth, there is only the Lich King and Prince Arthas. Only the Orcs would really care about Ner'zhul.
