Necromancer Lore
Necromancers are mortal practitioners of death magic, commonly referred to as necromancy. Channeling their knowledge of the arcane into manipulation of the forces of life and death, these men and women were instrumental in the forming of the Scourge in Lordaeron.

Necromancers are spellcasters whose magics manipulate the power of death. In calling upon this power, necromancers risk being consumed by it — until eventually they join the ranks of the undead. Necromancers twist arcane magic to manipulate the power of death. Commanding the undead, generally in the service of the Scourge, they gradually take on the characteristics of the dead — hollow eyes, shambling gaits, pallid and sunken skin, foul odors and so forth.

Most, if not all, modern necromancers were trained by Kel'Thuzad and his agents in the Scholomance beneath Caer Darrow, otherwise known as the School of Necromancy. Amazingly, the School was never discovered by agents of the Crown of Lordaeron, and remained untouched and functional until well beyond the end of the Third War. The school contains notable figures such as the Lich, Ras Frostwhisper, as well as the headmaster of the facility, Darkmaster Gandling.

The Necromancers continue to abound in the Plaguelands. Overseeing both the spread of the Blight and the construction of new Scourge installations, necromancers are most commonly encountered within and around the ruined city of Stratholme. An elite branch of necromancers, under the command of the dark master Maleki the Pallid, refer to themselves as the Thuzadin, in honor of their lord and first of their kind, Kel'Thuzad.

The origins of necromancy date back to the First War when Gul'dan's necrolytes developed the ability to raise corpses to serve as skeleton warriors in the Horde. But Necromancers have been around since the beginning of the Nathrezim race, who were the first ever known beings to raise Undead from Night Elven corpses (as seen in the War of the Ancients novel).

A few necromancers are uncorrupted.

Necromancer as a Dual-Class
At Level 100 Players will be given the option, through a series of quests, to be able to turn their character into a new Heroic Class. The is achieved by the player Dual-Classing from their original class with one of the 2 available options.
 * NOTE: This is in no way offical, this is an idea to be added with a later expassion.

To become a Necromancer the player must be a Priest of Warlock, then Dual-Class to their respective counterpart.

To become a Necromancer the Priest/Warlock is required to abandon all other schools of magic and dive deeper into the school of Shadow Magic, but to fully comprend the Shadow you must have an understanding of the Light aswell. This gives the Necromancer the power over life and death, allowing them to bring forth some of the most evil abominations ever seen on Azeroth. Because of this most races shun (Alliance) or revier (Horde) those whom choose this path to walk. The only known place to train in this dark art is in Caer Darrow, otherwise known as the School of Necromancy; to enter this school the Priest/Warlock needs to act as if they are just as corrupt as the others in the school. Doing so has actually caused some of these students to become corrupt, so in order to stave off the corruption of their minds and souls requires intense study in the Light. While they may study the Light, the Necromancer still looses all ability to use it.
