Warcraft lore trascends beyond the RTS game spin-offs into pocketbooks, RPG Books, Trading Card Games, and even Manga. Such is the case with Kalecgos, Anveena, Dar’Khan, Tyrygosa and Jorad Mace—who are characters of Warcraft Manga: The Sunwell Trilogy. Dar’Khan is a high elf traitor who joined Arthas in the manga, and has trascended to be an NPC in a blood elf quest of World of Warcraft?: Burning Crusade?. Anveena—the embodiment of the Essence of the Sunwell—is an NPC in the MMORPG, and now Tyrygosa the blue dragon and Jorad Mace the Paladin are part of the MMORPG as quest-giving NPCs. This is a storyline involving Tyrygosa and Jorad Mace with the Nether Dragons. Tyri: There’s no need to contact the conniving ethereal. Come, we have much to discuss. I’m certain you have many questions, all of which will be answered in due time. And to think, that wretched ethereal was going to sell these essences to the blood elves like so much candy ... FORMAL INTRODUCTIONS Greetings. Do not be alarmed. This is merely a projection of my current form. It’s the only way my companion and I could keep watch without revealing ourselves. The ethereal who approached you, Marid, is little better than a swindler in the guise of a legitimate merchant. I’d like you to consider working with me instead. My purpose out here is to find out more about the unusual dragonkin on this ridge. Meet me at the north end of the ridge and we will discuss this further. QUEST OBJECTIVES Find Tyri at the north end of the Celestial Ridge and speak with her. Tyri: I’ve never seen anything like these nether dragons. They seem to have inherited their sire’s temperment, but they have become something entirely different. My name is Tyrygosa, of the brood of Malygos, but most call me “Tyri.” My companion is the paladin Jorad Mace. Word of these strange dragonkin has already traveled far and I fear that too many will rush to exploit them for profit without realizing the true nature of what they’re dealing with. With your help, we’re hoping to gain insight into these creatures before others discover their presence. Rewards: 1g 71S. A PROMISING START We’ve come here to investigate rumors of a strange breed of dragons, perhaps even descendents of Deathwing himself. These are clearly not ordinary black dragons, though. We’ll know more once we’ve had a chance to examine their eggs. Their hatred for my flight runs deep, so I can’t get close enough to gather the eggs. Will you agree to help? QUEST OBJECTIVES Gather 15 Nether Dragonkin Eggs, then return to Tyri and Jorad on the Celestial Ridge. Reward: 11g 30S. Tyri: Were you able to gather the eggs? These will work quite nicely. Thank you for agreeing to help us. Before we can continue, however, there is something else we’ll need to address. TROUBLESOME DISTRACTIONS Your former employer, Wind Trader Marid, must’ve gotten wind that you’re helping us now. Through my projection, I’ve seen his nether-stalkers entering the area, hoping to track us down. We’ve been able evade them so far, but Marid must be dealt with before the problem grows more severe. If your impressions of Marid are correct, he’ll do just about anything to secure the supply of his product. Return to him and tell him you’re prepared to offer a deal. Lure him away and slay him. QUEST OBJECTIVES Speak with Wind Trader Marid and lure him away from his trading post. Deal with him and then return to Tyri and Jorad on the Celestial Ridge. > Wind Trader Marid, I’ve returned with more information on the nether drakes. I’m prepared to be your business partner, and for an extra sum, I’ll take care of that troublesome elf and her human friend. Wind Trader Marid: Let us hold our discussion in a more ... private place. Follow me. You didn’t really think I’d do business with you again, did you? Sometimes, the best way to return to profitability is to know when to cut your losses. Tyri: Now that that troublesome ethereal has been dealth with, we can focus our efforts on understanding these nether dragons. I’ve had chance to examine the eggs and I’ve made a few discoveries. SECURING THE CELESTIAL RIDGE The nether dragons have the same ferocious temperament as their black dragon forbears, but there is something entirely alien about them. They hatch and mature rapidly, harnessing the strange energies that forged their kind in the destruction of Draenor. There is so much more I need to know about them, but I believe the powers may be of use to my own flight. If we can displace the leader of these drakes, Veraku, with a show of dominance, we can cow the rest of them into submission. QUEST OBJECTIVE Use the Challenge of the Blue Flight to provoke Veraku on the southern edge of the Celestial Ridge. Defeat him and return to Tyri and Jorad on the Celestial Ridge. ITEM: Challenge of the Blue Flight - Use: Challenge the nether dragon Veraku. The challenge must be issued while standing near the Dragon Skeleton on the southern part of the Celestial Ridge. Tyri: Have you challenged and defeated Veraku? Well done. Well done indeed. The nether dragonkin will not accept a blue dragon among them at first, but with time and the firm demonstration of my authority, they will come around. Scattered, isolated, and without a definitive leader, we must be vigilant in preventing them from falling under the sway of a malevolent power, keeping them in check all the while. |  )) )) )) )) )) )) |
