Last held by the sorcerer [[Medivh]], it was shattered following the destruction of [[Dalaran]] by the demon [[Archimonde]]. Anyone who could reassemble the staff could command power absolute; it is no surprise, then, that the alliance between the [[Argent Dawn]] and the [[Scarlet Crusade]] seeks to prevent this powerful focus of power from falling into the hands of the [[lich|necromancer-lich]], [[Kel'Thuzad]]. |

||
| − | Atiesh, Greatstaff of the Guardian is a {{quality|legendary}} [[caster]] [[staff]] assembled via a quest. The quest begins inside [[Naxxramas (original)]] and involves obtaining several parts of the staff. |
||
| − | * It can be used by mages, warlocks, priests, and druids. |
||
| − | * The item stats vary slightly for each class. |
||
| − | * It is the first legendary caster item added to the game ({{loot|Legendary|Val'anyr, Hammer of Ancient Kings}} is ment for healers, but is also largely used by shadow priests as well), debuting in [[Patch 1.11 (Release Notes)|Patch 1.11]]. |
||
| − | * The cloth portion of the staff varies based on which version it is: Green for Druids, Red for Mages, White for Priests, and Blue for Warlocks. |
||
| − | * The staff provides the ability to open a portal to Medivh's tower of [[Karazhan]]; however, at the time of Atiesh's release into ''World of Warcraft'', Karazhan had yet to be implemented. It was opened upon the release of ''[[World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade|Burning Crusade]]'' on January 16, 2007. The portal leads to the front door of Karazhan (an instance portal blocked by a barred gate, requiring [[the Master's Key]] to open), and has a 1 minute cooldown. |
||
| − | * The Mage version of the staff was changed to 28 Crit Rating Aura from a flat 3% Critical Strike aura after Patch 2.1. |
||
| − | * The warlock version of Atiesh was bugged until Patch 1.12.1; its aura used to cause all healing done by those under its effects (in a party with the wielder) to be reduced to zero. |
||
| − | * As of patch 3.0.2, with the removal of original 40-man [[Naxxramas]], the Atiesh quest-chain is no longer available as the pick-ups; {{loot|Legendary|Splinter of Atiesh}} have been removed. |
||

||
| + | Red whelps flee combat if alone or clearly overwhelmed. If they are with a group, older whelps attack in order to give the younger children a chance to retreat; red dragons invariably put their own health and wellbeing second to that of a friend or loved one, even at this young age. |
||
| − | === Pieces === |
||
| − | The staff has been split into several pieces which were scattered around the world. |
||
| − | * [[Kel'Thuzad]]'s underlings in [[Naxxramas]] each have a chance to drop a {{loot|Legendary|Splinter of Atiesh}}. |
||
| − | ** Once all 40 Splinters have been found, they may be combined into the {{loot|Legendary|Frame of Atiesh}}, which gives a quest to visit the dragon [[Anachronos]]. You are then given a quest to obtain the Staff Head and Base of Atiesh. NOTE you must be at least Neutral with the [[Brood of Nozdormu]] to be able to talk to [[Anachronos]] to complete the quest and hence be able to pick up the following quest to obtain the head and base! |
||
| − | * [[Kel'Thuzad]] drops {{loot|common|Staff Head of Atiesh}}. |
||
| − | * The {{loot|Common|Base of Atiesh}} drops from [[C'Thun]] in the [[Temple of Ahn'Qiraj]]. |
||
| − | * You have to travel to [[Stratholme]] to cleanse the staff, and then slay [[Atiesh, Hand of Sargeras]]. The summoning location is in the Festival Lane west of the Alonsus Chapel, in between the western (Scarlet) and eastern (Scourge) districts of Stratholme. |

||
| − | === Trivia === |
||
| − | * Atiesh means "flame" in Persian. Many people speculate that this has something to do with ''World of Warcraft'' Lead Producer Shane (aka Shahram) Dabiri, who has origins from Iran, since he has suggested many NPC names to be of Persian origins. |
||
| − | * Also note that "Esh" (pronounced Aysh) means "Fire" in Hebrew. This is not the only similarity between the two languages. |
||
| − | * Ateş means "Fire" in Turkish. (The last letter is pronounced like "shh".) |
||
| − | * The 42 total pieces of Atiesh may be a reference to the popular science-fiction series ''The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'' which proclaims that the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything is "42". |
||
| − | * In Karazhan, the [[Shade of Aran]] (the ghost of Medivh's father, [[Nielas Aran]]) is one of the optional boss encounters. When he sees Atiesh equipped by a raid member, he shouts out "Where did you get that?! Did HE send you??" believing that Medivh gave his staff to the wielder. |

Red whelps are the youngest of red dragonkind. Scales resembling solid flame glisten on the small dragon’s form. Although not great in size, she nevertheless has wicked claws, and her fangs are visible as she turns her head. Though clearly a predatory creature, the glint of wisdom and kindness shines in her eyes. These hatchlings are highly intelligent; unless newborn, they know enough about humanoid creatures to be friendly even when first encountered. They are suspicious of orcs, and avoid them if possible, due to the Horde’s previous enslavement of the red flight. Those red whelps raised near Grim Batol are more aggressive due to the events that occurred there (and possibly for other reasons connected to the contents of the fortress).
Red whelps flee combat if alone or clearly overwhelmed. If they are with a group, older whelps attack in order to give the younger children a chance to retreat; red dragons invariably put their own health and wellbeing second to that of a friend or loved one, even at this young age.
Red whelps speak Common and Draconic.[1]
You can have your own young newly hatched red whelp that is less likely to burn your hair off!
