| − | ==Culture== |
||
| − | Black dragons are large creatures that are carnivorous. They spend their time hunting, as well as watching the various wars around the world, and can often be found torturing prisoners, animals, or anything else unfortunate enough to fall into their care. The Aspect of the black flight, Deathwing, is one of the fiercest and most evil creatures in existence. In his lifetime, he has destroyed many ancient cities. Deathwing often makes deals with the intelligent races, trading members of his dragonflight for slaves and humanoid torture subjects. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Male black dragon's names may sometimes end with -on and females with -ia. Often they are based on words synonymous with the color black, darkness, fire, or modifications of words usually used to describe an undesirable character trait. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Society=== |
||
| − | Black dragons were once earth-warders, caring for stone and mountain using their formidable abilities to cause the rise and fall of terrain. They were to watch as the world of [[Azeroth (world)|Azeroth]] changed and to maintain the boundaries and lines of delineation between the races so that none would fall to war over land. They maintained this purpose for a time, living in relative harmony with the other races and shaping the land to better use. In those peaceful times, their leader was known as Neltharion, and his wisdom and power were renowned. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Then came the madness that destroyed [[Neltharion]]'s mind. As the black dragonflight followed their leader into madness, so did their powers. He lowered mountains and destroyed land so that races would mingle and fight over territory. They traded their powers of earth for the powers of fire and magma. Destruction was their art and death was their goal. All the other [[dragon]]s of Azeroth have fought against Deathwing's flight at every opportunity.<ref name="MoM 29">''[[Manual of Monsters]]'', 29</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | In modern times black dragons are some of the most evil, sadistic creatures known on the face of Azeroth. Black dragons are vicious, selfish beings, not caring even for the lives of their flightmates and children, often killing other blacks to rise in prominence among the flight. Before Deathwing's disappearance the black dragons sought to emulate their dark master. A wyrm's goal in life was to become the foul black aspect's right hand or even replace him entirely, caring little for any other blacks that got in the way of this goal. Nowadays the black dragonflight is in civil war. With their leader, missing from the black flight, each individual desires to become the new leader of their dark kind.<ref name="MoM 29"/> Most black dragons follow the instructions of another only if they expect a benefit or they're confident that the other dragon could eat them.<ref>''[[Dark Factions]]'', 147</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | The symbol of the black dragonflight is a volcano, as it represent great power of earth and elements.<ref>[[Night of the Dragon]], pg 173</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Guises=== |
||
| − | The preferred [[humanoid]] forms of the black dragonflight when in disguise amongst mortals are [[human]]s with black hair and dark eyes. Though black dragons can easily take other forms, humans have been especially useful. The powerful and semi-industrial human kingdoms could more easily accomplish the goals of Deathwing and his ilk than the nomadic tauren, the magically-minded [[high elf|high elves]], or the mountain-dwelling [[dwarves]]. Humans are also far less sensitive to the presence of dragons than other races. [[night elf|night elves]], for instance, can identify a dragon with relative ease. Known black dragons that have taken human form are listed in their dragon state and respective human names: A few known exceptions are [[Lady Sinestra]] who, when acting as an ambassador to the Dragonmaw clan, uses a [[Blood Elf|blood elven]] guise, and [[Blackwing Spellbinder]]s in [[Blackwing Lair]] who also take elven form. |

||
| − | ===Charge of the Dragonflights=== |
||
| − | Satisfied that the small world had been ordered and that their work was done, the [[Titans]] prepared to leave Azeroth. But before they departed, they charged the greatest species of the world with the task of watching over [[Azeroth (world)|Azeroth]]. In that age, there were many [[dragonflight]]s. Yet there were five flights that held dominion over their brethren. It was these five flights that the Titans chose to shepherd the budding world. The greatest members of the [[Pantheon]] imbued a portion of their power upon each of the flights' leaders. |
||
| − | |||
| − | [[Khaz'goroth]], the Titan shaper and forger of the world, bestowed some of his vast power upon the mighty black wyrm, Neltharion. The great-hearted Neltharion, known afterwards as the Earth-Warder, was given dominion over the earth and the deep places of the world. He embodied the strength of the world and served as [[Alexstrasza]]'s greatest supporter.<ref>{{ref web |url=http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/story/chapter1.html#4 |title="Charge of the Dragonflights" |accessdate=2008-05-14 |format=HTML |work=Official World of Warcraft Community Site, History, Chapter 1}}</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===War of the Ancients=== |
||
| − | Black Dragons were once, like their aspect [[Neltharion]], the defenders of Azeroth, living deep in the caverns of the earth. They shaped the lands, raised mountains, and created valleys. For countless millennia the black dragons and the other flights lived in peace and harmony and worked together to safeguard Azeroth from all forms of violence and destruction. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Then they fell prey to the whispering of the [[Old Gods]], Neltharion most of all. The other [[Dragon Aspects|Aspects]] attributed Neltharion's oddness to his displeasure with the actions of the bold [[Highborne]] [[Kaldorei]]. The Highborne had opened a portal for the [[Burning Legion]] and the [[demons]] began to invade Azeroth. Neltharion, having lost all sanity, created a device called the [[Dragon Soul]] (later known as the [[Demon Soul]]), taking a portion of each dragon's power, but he and the black flight did not contribute their own power, unknown to the other flights. He claimed the device was to fight the legion but in reality he planned on using it to take control of all of Azeroth, and make the black flight rulers of the world. The blacks' betrayal was made known when Neltharion turned the device on the [[night elves]] and their allies, and eventually the other dragons, going as far as virtually erasing the [[blue dragonflight]] from existence. The mortal defenders managed to ultimately defeat the Legion, but the world was inevitably sundered. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===After The Sundering=== |
||
| − | The ensuing civil war between the black dragonflight and the other flights decimated the species, with all flights losing members, some more than others. The dragonflights hunted the blacks to the brink of extinction.<ref>''[[Warcraft III]]'' manual, 142</ref> Deathwing's remaining consorts were slain, by his own recklessness, in the first few days of the war.<ref>''[[Day of the Dragon]]'', 345</ref> Ultimately the blacks were nearly wiped out,<ref>''[[The Well of Eternity]]'', 245</ref> though the other flights never truly recovered from those dark times and were never again seen in the same numbers as before. The Age of the Dragons had passed. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Immediately after the sundering, to ensure Deathwing would never hold power over dragonkind again, Alexstrasza, Ysera, and Nozdormu placed an enchantment upon the Demon Soul, so that no dragon, including Deathwing, could wield it, and hid the foul disc deep beneath the earth.<ref name="DotD 146-7">''[[The Sundering]]'', 346-347</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | After having wiped out nearly every member of the flight, the black dragons were not ready to leave the last few blues in peace. The survivors of the blue dragonflight fled to [[Northrend]], then Deathwing attacked the blue dragons, slaughtering them by the dozens. The survivors fought back but were no match for Deathwing's ferocity. In the process their homes were destroyed and the land so damaged it could never recover. That area became the [[Dragonblight]].<ref name="LoM 96">''[[Lands of Mystery]]'', 96</ref> Over what is now [[Crystalsong Forest]] another battle between the blacks and blues was waged, and many blue dragons died. Their magic released into the air and settled as glittering light on the ground and the rocks and the trees. Finally an elder blue dragon, beset by many blacks, unleashed a powerful spell to strip the life from his attackers and turn them to stone. The loose magic altered and amplified the spell, spreading it across the entire region and changing soil and stone and wood and flesh into living crystal.<ref name="LoM 97">''[[Lands of Mystery]]'', 97</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | One particular brood of Ysera's were closely allied with the night elves of the [[Azuremyst Isles]], whom were ruled by [[Prince Toreth]]. Ysera kindly allowed the night elves to ride her children into battle and they were known as the Dragon Riders of Loreth'Aran. Ysera's benevolence raised the ire of Deathwing and he launched an attack against [[Wyrmscar Island]] where the dragonriders slept. The blacks, including [[Razormaw]], a lieutenant of Deathwing, mercilessly slaughtered the Kaldorei. The greens rose up to protect their allies but were unsuccessful. Not one was spared, though many blacks, including Razormaw, also perished in the battle. The skeletons and spirits of the murdered greens still litter the small island. Razormaw's hatred for the greens was so great that his restless spirit remained soaring high overhead, forever haunting the island. |
||
| − | |||
| − | In the early years following the sundering, is said that Deathwing's black flight attempted to subjugate the bronze dragons. The assault was unsuccessful, primarily because the bronze dragons did not stay and fight as expected. His command of time offering insight into the blacks' plans, Nozdormu alerted his flight of the danger. The bronze dragonflight scattered to the four corners of the globe, where they continued to monitor events.<ref>''[[Manual of Monsters]]'', 33</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===The Second War=== |
||
| − | During the [[Second War]] Deathwing saw his opportunity to decimate Alexstrasza and her flight. Deathwing was unable to wield the [[Demon Soul]] himself,<ref name="DotD 146-7"/> but it could be placed in the hands of a being that would use it against his enemies.<ref>''[[Day of the Dragon]]'', 359-360</ref> Deathwing sent visions of the artifact to the chieftain of the [[Dragonmaw Clan]], a [[shaman]] named [[Zuluhed]] the Whacked, who claimed the disc for the Horde. The device was given to his lieutenant, the [[warlock]] [[Nekros Skullcrusher]], whose magic the disk eagerly reciprocated, and was used to enslave Alexstrasza and most of her flight, turning them into the Horde's hounds of war.<ref>''[[Day of the Dragon]]'', 53</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Beyond The Dark Portal=== |
||
| − | During the orc's second intrusion into Azeroth, the black dragonflight briefly joined the Horde. Seeking magical artifacts, [[Ner'zhul]] had sent a party under [[Teron Gorefiend]] to [[Blackrock Spire]] to bring the [[Blackrock clan]] back into the fold and acquire their red dragons. [[Rend Blackhand|Rend]] refused and Teron left defeated, but they were soon approached by Deathwing. Deathwing presented the [[Death Knight]] with an offer. He would lend his and his children aid to the Horde, in return for safe passage of his flight and his eggs to Draenor. Gorefiend accepted and the black aspect summoned his flight to him. Before departing Deathwing spoke with [[Nefarian]] and [[Onyxia]], asking them to remain on Azeroth and take command of the orcs left within the spire.<ref>''[[Beyond the Dark Portal]]'', chapter 8</ref> The remaining members of the black dragonflight, led by Deathwing and his lieutenant [[Sabellian]], allowed the orcs to ride upon them in order to retrieve the needed artifacts. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Ner'zhul quickly pulled the Horde back to Draenor. The black dragons, taking special care of the eggs, crossed through the Dark Portal. Deathwing spoke with Ner'zhul, bidding his farewell and taking [[The Skull of Gul'dan]]. A few blacks stayed with the Horde at [[Hellfire Citadel]], but the bulk of the flight settled within the valleys of the [[Blade's Edge Mountains]], where they could tend to the delicate eggs. Their presence there was not welcome by [[Gruul the Dragonkiller|Gruul]], father of the [[Gronn]] and ruler of the [[Ogre]]s. Gruul and his subjects, assisted by members of the [[Alliance Expedition]] sent to recover the skull, attacked drake and egg alike. Deathwing was outraged by the destruction of his precious eggs and fought back, only to be driven off by a strategic spell from [[Khadgar]]. Sabellian managed to escape as well. The remaining black dragons, now leaderless, quickly fell to the fury of Gruul's children, crushed and impladed upon the mountain's spires.<ref>''[[Beyond the Dark Portal]]'', 349</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Not long after, Ner'zhul's portals began to tear Draenor apart, and soon the planet was going through its death throes. Deathwing quickly escaped back to Azeroth, abandoning his remaining progeny on the doomed world. Then the cataclysm came and Draenor was shattered, only what would become known as [[Outland]] remained. Many of the black dragon eggs were exposed to the [[twisting nether]] and the dragons that emerged were no longer truly members of the black flight. These ethereal dragons would come to be known as the [[Nether Dragon]]s. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Day of the Dragon=== |
||
| − | The blacks were nearly extinct and their master, Deathwing, was believed to have been brought down in battle against the Kirin Tor.<ref>''[[Day of the Dragon]]'', 3</ref><ref>''[[World of Warcraft: The Magazine Issue 1]]'', 11</ref> Secretly he had assumed the guise of Lord [[Daval Prestor]] and sought a way to rebuild his flight. He devised a plan to steal the eggs of his greatest foe, Alexstrasza, who was still enslaved by the [[Dragonmaw Clan|Dragonmaw]]. Not wanting to possibly damage the eggs by directly assaulting Grim Batol, he sought a way to force the orcs into bringing the eggs out into the open where he could more easily steal them. He fooled Nekros into believing the Alliance planned on invading the mountain fortress and the warlock ordered to have Alexstrasza, [[Tyranastrasz]], and her eggs moved out of the mountain and towards Dun Algaz where the bulk of the Dragonmaw Clan was stationed preparing for war. Deathwing assaulted the caravan and began to steal the eggs, but then his plan went awry and the Demon Soul was destroyed in the battle now known as [[The Battle of Grim Batol]]. With their powers returned to them, Alexstrasza and the other aspects, who had shown up in order to save the Dragonqueen, chased [[Deathwing]] off, and he hasn't been seen since. The eggs were quickly recovered afterwards.<ref>''[[Day of the Dragon]]'', 321-368</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===The Third War=== |
||
| − | {{WC3-section}} |
||
| − | Like the other dragonflights, the black dragonflight did not play any significant role in the events of the [[Third War]]. [[Arthas Menethil]], then prince of Lordaeron, did however assist a group of [[dwarf|dwarven]] dragon hunters track down and slay the black drake [[Searinox]]. [[Malfurion Stormrage]] also encountered a small group of black whelps and drakes hiding in the [[Barrow Deeps]], and was quick to dispatch the vile beasts. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Current activities=== |
||
| − | The remaining black dragons are now in a state of civil war, fighting over who will rule the flight. Recently Nefarian and Onyxia managed to take control over a large portion of the flight, and the two plotted on how to scour Azeroth of the mortal races and other dragonflights. Following their defeat, their mother [[Sintharia]], took up her son's failed experiments before being defeated herself. Their experiments were not in vain however, as the patriarch of the flight, [[Deathwing]], has continued on with their work. |

||
| − | [[File:Blackdragonkin.JPG|thumb|Black dragonkin in the Burning Steppes]] |
||
| − | Onyxia's brood resides in [[Dustwallow Marsh]], however the broodmother herself is often gone. Onyxia has disguised herself as a noble of [[Stormwind]] (much like her father once did within [[Lordaeron]]), influencing the child king [[Anduin Wrynn]], and interfering with the armies of [[Stormwind]] from being used for their intended purposes, including protecting the Alliance lands from the orcish armies of her brother Nefarian. Her true identity has been discovered by [[Marshal Reginald Windsor]], whom unfortunately for the [[Alliance]], has been captured by the [[Dark Iron dwarf|Dark Iron dwarves]] of [[Shadowforge]] in [[Blackrock Depths]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Nefarian also wears a human guise, [[Victor Nefarius]], and has taken control of [[Blackrock Spire]] and the [[Dark Horde]] barricaded inside under [[Rend Blackhand]]. They constantly fight the [[Dark Iron dwarf|Dark Iron dwarves]] of [[Shadowforge]] and their fiery master, [[Ragnaros]], that reside in the depths of the volcano. Nefarian and his brood are at work creating a [[Chromatic dragonflight]] with the powers of all the flights to release on the [[fire elemental]]s and eventually the races of Azeroth.<ref>{{ref web |url=http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/underdev/blackwing.html |title="Blackwing Lair" |accessdate=2008-05-14 |format=HTML |work=Official World of Warcraft Community Site}}</ref>In order to do so they have began striking out againt the other flights, kidnapping [[Dragon whelp|whelps]], such as the [[Blue whelp]]s of [[Mazthoril]], to be used in their experiments. Black dragon servants of Nefarian can be found as far north as the [[Badlands]] and all the way south to the [[Redridge Mountains]], most often making their home in the Burning Steppes, but the most powerful are located inside the spire. [[Blackwing Lair]], Nefarian's laboratory and seat of power, is filled with the mightiest servants of Deathwing's protégé, including elite orcs, mad goblins, various dragonkin, and members of the new chromatic dragonflight. |

||
| − | [[File:Dragons' End.jpg|thumb|Dragons' End]] |
||
| − | A number of black dragons abandonded on [[Outland]] still reside in the [[Blade's Edge Mountains]]. Many of the dragons met their end at the hands of [[Gruul the Dragonkiller]] and his sons, and can be seen impaled on the rocky spires at [[Dragons' End]]. The black dragon [[Sabellian]] seeks revenge for the death of his children. The blacks here are revered by a mortal organization known as the [[Wyrmcult]]. They are led by the [[Drakonid]] [[Maxnar the Ashmaw]], operating from [[Blackwing Coven]] in [[Raven's Wood]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | [[Overlord Mor'ghor]], servant of [[Illidan Stormrage]] on [[Netherwing Ledge]], has recently been approached by an emissary from the black flight, [[Lady Sinestra]]. Sinestra claims their master (Deathwing) is alive and well and is interested in recovering the Nether Dragons Mor'ghor has been grooming for Illidan, as they are the black aspect's progeny. Mor'ghor, once an unwitting servant of Deathwing, quickly agrees. |

| − | ===Wrath of the Lich King=== |
||
| − | {{Wotlk-section}} |
||
| − | The blue dragonflight, in their militaristic campaign, have laid siege to [[Wyrmrest Temple]] in the [[Dragonblight]]. The remaining dragonflights have formed the [[Wyrmrest Accord]], an alliance defending the temple against the blue flight. The black dragonflight has sent [[Nalice]] as an ambassador. Recently the undead Scourge has laid siege to the surrounding five dragonshrines in an effort to raise terrifying new variations of undead dragons. Nalice sends adventurers to [[Serinar]] at the [[Obsidian Dragonshrine]] to fight off the forces of the [[Lich King]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Some time after the [[Nexus War]], a powerful war party of the black dragonflight, led by the fearsome [[Twilight dragonflight|Twilight dragon]], [[Halion]], have launched an assault upon the [[Ruby Sanctum]] beneath Wyrmrest Temple. By destroying the sanctum, the Black Dragonflight look to crush those that would stand in the way of their [[Deathwing|master’s]] [[Cataclysm|reemergence]] into [[Azeroth (world)|Azeroth]] and to ultimately shatter the Wyrmrest Accord. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Cataclysm=== |
||
| − | {{Cata-section}} |
||
| − | Deathwing will finally return in World of Warcraft's third expansion, [[Cataclysm]], as the main antagonist. He will begin to set events into motion that will re-shape the face of Azeroth itself. The black dragonflight will most likely assist with their master's plans. |
||
| − | |||
| − | While the current living members may well be irredeemable, the [[red dragonflight]] has begun taking steps to preserve the black dragonflight as a whole, by purifying them. With the full backing of [[Alexstrasza]], [[Rheastrasza]] enlists the help of [[adventurer]]s to save the future of the black flight and bring them back to the side of good. |
