*UPDATE* Info Confirmed by Blizzard Blue posters HERE

It seems that Blizzard has just entered Friends and Family Alpha for Wrath of the Lich King, and some one is already data mining the client for tons of info. A lot of this could be fake, but they do offer the alpha client to download.

MAJOR SPOILERS and a whole lot of WotLK info after the Jump.

Factions

Alliance

• The Silver Covenant - A militant core of high elves that rejects the admission of blood elves into the Kirin Tor. They’ve united under the banner of Vereesa Windrunner and joined the Alliance forces in Northrend.
• Explorer’s League - This organization seeks to find the origin of the dwarven race by collecting Titan artifacts. Their most recent research has led them to various archeological sites in Northrend.

Horde

• The Taunka - These hardy people are cousins of the Tauren and have become valuable scouts for the armies of the Horde as they march northward.
• The Hand of Vengeance - The Forsaken tasked by Sylvanas Windrunner with enacting Undercity’s vengeance against Arthas by delivering the latest strain of their deadly Plague.
• Warsong Offensive - Garrosh Hellscream commands the Horde’s main expeditionary forces as they make their way into Northrend to face Arthas and the armies of the Scourge.

Neutral

• The Kalu’ak - The tuskarr are a tough but peaceful people who derive their livelihood from fishing and whaling. Their settlements have recently come under fierce attack and welcome any allies who would come to their aid.
• Kirin Tor - The mages and archmages running the city of Dalaran. Faced with the rising threats of the Blue Dragonflight and the Scourge, they’ve transported their city to the heart of Northrend.
• The Wyrmrest Accord - With the Blue Dragonflight’s violent upheaval against all mortal users of magic, the remaining dragonflights have banded under the leadership of the Red Dragonflight to combat their wayward kin.
• Knights of the Ebon Blade - Freed from the grasp of the Lich King, his former Deathknights have regrouped against him under the banner of Highlord Darion Mograine.

And here is the information that a lot of you have been waiting for, Death Knight stuff. Here are some spells and talents.

A lot of Talents: http://urlshort.com/wotlk/site/talentlist.php

Deathknight spells:

• Army of the Dead - Summons an entire legion of your best Ghouls to fight by your side.

• Chromatic Rune Mastery - Whenever a Blood, Frost or Unholy Rune activates, it has a 6% chance of converting into a Chromatic Rune. This Rune counts as a Blood, Frost or Unholy Rune. Lasts 10 sec.
• Degeneration (Rank 3, Level 76) – Instantly attack the target, dealing 60% weapon damage and inflicting a disease dealing ${$m2*7} over 15 sec. This disease will corrupt an existing heal over time spell, removing it and dramatically increasing the damage dealt. While afflicted by this disease, other heal over time effects on the target will have no effect.
• Dancing Runeblade - Summons a second Runeblade that fights on its own for 1 sec per 10 Runic Power, doing the same strikes that you do.

• Corpse Explosion - “Target a corpse, causing it to explode for 12 damage per 10 Runic Power to all enemies within 10 yards.”
• Mark of Blood (spell or talent?) - “Place a Mark of Blood on an enemy or ally. Whenever the marked target is healed, all party members receive a fraction of that healing. If a marked target that grants experience or honor is killed, all party members are healed for 10% of their total health. Each person can be healed for a maximum of 3000 per Mark.”
• Icebound Fortitude - Consumes all available Runic Power, causing the Death Knight to become immune to Stun effects and increasing armor by 50% for up to 12 sec. Does not remove existing Stun effects. [60 sec cooldown]

Deathknight talents:

• Black Ice - Increases your Frost and Unholy spell damage by 1/2/3/4/5%.

• Wandering Plague - “When the diseases you inflicted upon an enemy target cause damage, there is a 5/10/15% chance the disease will instead damage all enemies within 8 yards. This damage will not cancel spells normally cancelled when targets take damage.”
• Improved Corpse Explosion - “While Corpse Explosion is active, corpses have a 10/15/20/25/30% chance to explode for increased damage.”
• Crypt Fever - “Diseases caused by you or your Ghouls also reduce an enemy’s attributes by 5/10/15% per disease.”

These images are of different races as a Death Knight. I have to say that the BE DK looks pretty sick.
