'''Maloriak''' is a boss in [[Blackwing Descent]] who can be found in the [[Fleshrender's Workshop]], off to the east of the [[Vault of the Shadowflame]].
  
   
  +
The '''twilight dragonflight''' is a dragonflight created by the results of magical experiments carried out by [[Lady Sinestra]] upon dragon eggs. Using ancient dragon artifacts and the powers of the [[nether dragons]], Sinestra has created a new breed of dragons that feed vampirically on all forms of mystical energy. The first encounter of these dragons with the outside world was by [[Krasus]], [[Kalec]], and the [[draenei]] [[priestess]] [[Iridi]]. Iridi thought of their appearence not as shadow, but more akin to the day turning to night, like twilight as experienced on [[Azeroth (world)|Azeroth]]. She thus dubbed them twilight dragons.
āˆ’
The world first heroic kill was by Premonition (25 person) on 21 December 2010. This kill confirmed that the title [[Slayer of Stupid, Incompetent and Disappointing Minions]] is, in fact, real, but only lasts for 30 minutes. There is no actual achievement associated with the title despite Nefarian's quote.

==Background==

==History==
  +
===Night of the Dragon===
āˆ’
Maloriak is a scientific minion of Nefarian that has a tendency to fail his experiments. The most notable 'failure' is the blind dragon, [[Atramedes]] which now serves under [[Nefarian]] as well.
  
  +
{{novel-section}}
  +
The twilight dragonflight was first created by [[Sinestra]], aka Sintharia, prime-consort of [[Deathwing]] the Destroyer. Eager to succeed where her hated mate had failed and create a new breed of dragon that would rule the world, Sinestra used a [[nether dragon]] named [[Zzeraku]], which she captured with a [[Chrysalun Chamber]], together with two draconic artifacts, to alter several dragon eggs from various [[dragonflight]]s. The artifacts were an ancient [[blue dragon]] relic known as [[Balacgos's Bane]], and the infamous [[Demon Soul]]. Thought destroyed by the human mage [[Rhonin]], Sinestra gathered several fragments of the Demon Soul and used the power within them to carry out her designs.
   
  +
Sinestra's earliest creations proved unstable, and were destroyed by Krasus and Kalec. However, they still displayed considerable power, having the ability to vampirically drain magical energy from any source. Sinestra's subsequent creation, [[Dargonax]], proved even more powerful and far more cunning. Dargonax proved too ambitious and strong for Sinestra to completely control, even with fragments of the Demon Soul in her possession. Only the sacrifice of the nether dragon Zzeraku enabled Dargonax to be defeated, and in his death throes he destroyed Sinestra as well.

Although Sinestra and her creations were all slain, several of her unhatched twilight dragon eggs were taken from her lair in Grim Batol by Deathwing himself. Hiding in tunnels deep beneath Grim Batol, caverns older than any the dwarves had ever constructed, Deathwing safely stored the twilight dragon eggs and began his plans to perfect the new dragonflight, intending to erase the failures of his family and use the newest breed of dragon for his own designs.

Deathwing's continued absence led many to assume that Sinestra had been acting alone at Grim Batol, but a recently discovered clutch of twilight eggs inside the [[Chamber of the Aspects]] has raised fears that Deathwing himself played a role in the creation of the malefic dragons. A powerful guardian, [[Sartharion]], watches over the eggs within the black dragonflight's volcanic chamber, the [[Obsidian Sanctum]]. If the rumors of Deathwing's involvement are true, the dark future that he set into motion seems on the verge of plunging Azeroth into a new age of twilight.<ref>http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/dungeons/wrath-obsidian-sanctum.xml</ref>

With the red dragonflight already committed heavily to battling [[Malygos]] and the [[Scourge]], [[Korialstrasz]] sent word of the twilight eggs to the [[Council of Six]] in [[Dalaran]] in the hope that adventurers could be found to deal with the situation. As he had hoped, a band of heroes was deployed in short order, and the twilight eggs were destroyed. The incident went without fanfare, mention, or acknowledgement; and for a time, seemingly without retribution.<ref>http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/underdev/3p3/rubysanctum.xml</ref>

The story of the twilight dragonflight will be expanded in ''[[World of Warcraft: Cataclysm]]'', in a region known as the [[Twilight Highlands]] surrounding Grim Batol. What Deathwing has planned for them is yet to be known. They seem to be a some kind of elite guard within [[Twilight's Hammer clan]]'s ranks and their drakes are seen to be used as mounts by their mortal followers.It is revealed that they are being created by [[Sinestra]] in [[Twilight Caverns]] under the [[Bastion of Twilight]].After being slain,[[Sinestra]] says: "Deathwing,I have fallen,The brood has fallen",which might mean that her death is the end of the Twilight Dragonflight.

==Strategy==
 +
==Description==
  +
Twilight dragons resemble black dragons, but they glow with a greenish, red, or, more commonly, amethyst light. The earliest twilight dragons created by Sinestra had the ability to feed off of magical energy, particularly enemy dragons. The later dragons, those raised by Deathwing, may have similar abilities.
āˆ’
The Maloriak encounter has some rather unusual mechanics. He switches between several sets of abilities depending on which vial Maloriak throws into the Cauldron. There is a pattern to his vials, with every third vial being a Green one, and the two before it are either Red then Blue, or Blue then Red. Each Vial lasts 40 seconds, after which Maloriak will cast a new one. He also has adds, that he summons in packs of 3 with an interruptable cast, twice every Red or Blue Vial phase.
  
   
  +
==Known members==
āˆ’
There is a limited amount of adds he can summon; 18 Abberations and 2 Prime Subjects, which he will only summon in his final phase from 25% to 0. Because of the adds' Growth Catalyst ability, they need to be tanked away from Maloriak, so he won`t get the buff as well. By the time 9 adds are up, they will be dealing tank-killing damage, which can only be survived by a) popping cooldowns, b) kiting, or c) having a third tank pick up a couple of adds.

The Red Vial gives him a flame breath. Unlike other flame breaths, that you want to stay out of, this one does shared damage to everyone in the breath, meaning that if only the tank is in the breath, he will get one-shotted. So, when he throws a Red vial into the cauldron, everyone but the off-tank(s) should stack up in front of him.
  
āˆ’  
āˆ’
The Blue Vial gives him a spell which randomly freezes a random member of the raid and everyone within 10 yards of that person in an iceblock with 5k hp. One player, preferably a fire mage (for fire blast) should be assigned to breaking these immediately. The raid should spread out for this phase.
  
āˆ’  
āˆ’
The Green Vial wipes the Growth Catalyst buff given by the adds, and puts a debuff on everyone including both adds and players increasing damage taken by 100%. During this phase all dps should be focused on aoeing the adds down before the green phase is over, as he will immediately follow up the green phase with an add summon.
  
āˆ’  
āˆ’
Throughout the fight he will also randomly start to channel Arcane Storms, which must be interrupted, so as to mitigate raid damage. When he reaches 25%, he will release all remaining adds (hopefully only the two Prime Subjects, or you will likely wipe) and enter a Soft Enrage-like phase, where he deals more damage, summons void zones of fire in a line in front of him, ice orbs that will explode if dpsed down or if they reach a player, and does high raid damage through Acid Storm. Pop all cooldowns, and nuke him through that last phase as quickly as humanly possible.
  
āˆ’  
āˆ’
The main mechanic of the fight is actually the adds, because of their absurd damage. There are a number of ways to deal with this:
  
āˆ’  
āˆ’
#Interrupt one cast of Release Aberrations, and let the off-tank pop all cooldowns when 9 adds arrive.
  
āˆ’
#Interrupt one cast of Release Aberrations, and have dps use kiting abilities such as Blast Wave, Ring of Frost, Earthbind Totem, and Frost Trap.
  
āˆ’
#Interrupt no casts of Release Aberrations, and split adds between two off-tanks, instead of one.
  
āˆ’
#Interrupt the second cast of Release Aberrations, and single-target dps the first set of three adds down before the third cast.
  
āˆ’  
āˆ’
10 man: He has a 6-minute enrage timer. To beat this fight, you will have to face two sets of three phases (Red/Blue, Blue/Red, Green). DPS has to be careful, as you don't want to push him to 25% until the second Green Vial is thrown in the cauldron, or you'll likely wipe due to not being able to take down your remaining Abberations.

The twilight dragonflight is a dragonflight created by the results of magical experiments carried out by Lady Sinestra upon dragon eggs. Using ancient dragon artifacts and the powers of the nether dragons, Sinestra has created a new breed of dragons that feed vampirically on all forms of mystical energy. The first encounter of these dragons with the outside world was by Krasus, Kalec, and the draenei priestess Iridi. Iridi thought of their appearence not as shadow, but more akin to the day turning to night, like twilight as experienced on Azeroth. She thus dubbed them twilight dragons.

History

Night of the Dragon

WoW-novel-logo-16x62 This section concerns content related to the Warcraft novels, novellas, or short stories.

The twilight dragonflight was first created by Sinestra, aka Sintharia, prime-consort of Deathwing the Destroyer. Eager to succeed where her hated mate had failed and create a new breed of dragon that would rule the world, Sinestra used a nether dragon named Zzeraku, which she captured with a Chrysalun Chamber, together with two draconic artifacts, to alter several dragon eggs from various dragonflights. The artifacts were an ancient blue dragon relic known as Balacgos's Bane, and the infamous Demon Soul. Thought destroyed by the human mage Rhonin, Sinestra gathered several fragments of the Demon Soul and used the power within them to carry out her designs.

Sinestra's earliest creations proved unstable, and were destroyed by Krasus and Kalec. However, they still displayed considerable power, having the ability to vampirically drain magical energy from any source. Sinestra's subsequent creation, Dargonax, proved even more powerful and far more cunning. Dargonax proved too ambitious and strong for Sinestra to completely control, even with fragments of the Demon Soul in her possession. Only the sacrifice of the nether dragon Zzeraku enabled Dargonax to be defeated, and in his death throes he destroyed Sinestra as well.

Although Sinestra and her creations were all slain, several of her unhatched twilight dragon eggs were taken from her lair in Grim Batol by Deathwing himself. Hiding in tunnels deep beneath Grim Batol, caverns older than any the dwarves had ever constructed, Deathwing safely stored the twilight dragon eggs and began his plans to perfect the new dragonflight, intending to erase the failures of his family and use the newest breed of dragon for his own designs.

Obsidian Sanctum

Sartharion

Sartharion, the Onyx Guardian

Deathwing's continued absence led many to assume that Sinestra had been acting alone at Grim Batol, but a recently discovered clutch of twilight eggs inside the Chamber of the Aspects has raised fears that Deathwing himself played a role in the creation of the malefic dragons. A powerful guardian, Sartharion, watches over the eggs within the black dragonflight's volcanic chamber, the Obsidian Sanctum. If the rumors of Deathwing's involvement are true, the dark future that he set into motion seems on the verge of plunging Azeroth into a new age of twilight.[1]

With the red dragonflight already committed heavily to battling Malygos and the Scourge, Korialstrasz sent word of the twilight eggs to the Council of Six in Dalaran in the hope that adventurers could be found to deal with the situation. As he had hoped, a band of heroes was deployed in short order, and the twilight eggs were destroyed. The incident went without fanfare, mention, or acknowledgement; and for a time, seemingly without retribution.[2]

Ruby Sanctum

Halion

Halion, the Twilight Destroyer

In order to shatter the Wyrmrest Accord and to crush those that would stand in the way of their master's reemergence into Azeroth, a powerful war party of the Black dragonflight; led by the fearsome twilight dragon Halion and his lieutenants Saviana Ragefire, Baltharus the Warborn and General Zarithrian; has launched an assault upon the Ruby Sanctum beneath Wyrmrest Temple.

Cataclysm

Cataclysm This section concerns content related to Cataclysm.

The story of the twilight dragonflight will be expanded in World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, in a region known as the Twilight Highlands surrounding Grim Batol. What Deathwing has planned for them is yet to be known. They seem to be a some kind of elite guard within Twilight's Hammer clan's ranks and their drakes are seen to be used as mounts by their mortal followers.It is revealed that they are being created by Sinestra in Twilight Caverns under the Bastion of Twilight.After being slain,Sinestra says: "Deathwing,I have fallen,The brood has fallen",which might mean that her death is the end of the Twilight Dragonflight.

Description

Twilight dragons resemble black dragons, but they glow with a greenish, red, or, more commonly, amethyst light. The earliest twilight dragons created by Sinestra had the ability to feed off of magical energy, particularly enemy dragons. The later dragons, those raised by Deathwing, may have similar abilities.
