The Language Of Death is commonly believed to be a form of ancient runic, and unholy writing, commonly used by the Scourge and perhaps the Forsaken also.[citation needed].It is possible that it is the same runic language carved into Frostmourne, believed to be a variation of Demonic, possibly the main language used by the Dreadlords of the Burning Legion who where known to raise the dead and created the original Scourge. The Language of Death has also been cited in the original Warcraft series.
