Along with all the other new additions to Wrath of the Lich King, a new type of item was added too: Heirlooms.  These items are bind to ACCOUNT and can be transfered only to other characters in your own account.  This is an interesting idea to say the least.  None of the heirlooms are drops but must be found by receiving rewards in Wrath of the Lich Kings content.  This content is usually taken advantage of by veteran players already around 80.  (If you need an alliance or horde speed level guide to 80 click here.)
