No....You start in cloth looking plate armor and no weapon.


You spawn in a academy like necropolis in the sky where you learn how to play and use the death knights rune forging and spells.

The quest line there gives you blue armor with strength stam and crit, and the final quest gives you a choice between an amazing looking 2h sword and an okay 2h axe.
