After raising the Dragon, the Deathlord pulls out a list that reads "Azeroth factions that now hate my guts" and puts a 'check' under 'The Dragon-flights'
Venom Snake socourge and the ebon blade up next
Paladins...Check
Stormheim Storm Dragons...Check
Hm, while true, that is optional, you didnt have to eradicate all of them, but well, you can, but heres a bit more to it, Wouldnt the horde appreciate Nazgrim back in the fray? You didnt kill many argent crusade and even benifited the highlord with power to cast aside the light of the ashbringer to darkness as a reascendance, your let back into orgrimmar and undercity so they arent skin of your back, and the scarlet crusade, well they hate everyone, so logically speaking, you aren't pissing off all the factions, though i cant make an excuse for the storm dragons, or the red dragonflight as a whole
Daz N/A Argent Crusade said they were even with Ebon Blade though
"But I have... other plans"
BOI
*inhale* BOIIII
"you are empty inside, just like me"
You know who else is empty inside?
Yeah. That kid.
lol its edgier than dh names
Al. C. at launch i saw a female b elf dh in the order hall called "Illidaenerys", my dick still hasn't came back down from orbit
Nozdormu my demon hunters name is Nightsorrow each time i log in i cut myself
Al. C. that sounds spicy have you tried using warglaives heated to 1000 degrees?
4:34
nobbeljr: hello daddy
:3
Everyday We Stray Further From God's Light...and closer to the Lich King
Not really a bad thing. Will make it most certainly interesting.
Tell Nobbeljr hello :]
Nobbel87 The work you put into the videos shows man, keep up the hard work!
yogg-sauron is controling the lich king why do you think he is so evil now
Alex skerratt .....because he's the Lich King...
I seriously don't understand why the hell the dragons can't breed anymore.
They lived just fine before they were given the 5 aspects, why would losing that power now stop more eggs from being layed?
Omni Rage the Maesters of Azeri the are feeding them birth control
It could be due to Titanic Powers that transformed them from proto to real dragon in the first place.
Omni Rage because China so much population
I volunteer to breed with Alextraza
but really though one would think this is the time to start banging to make some sick hybrid babies.
proto can still breed.
Didn't even mention that we saw Bolvar unfrozen on a new throne.
Kieran Chiddix I actually wonder if this isn't the throne Bolvar imagine to be seated. Kinda like how Arthas, during the "Arthas, Rise of the Lich King," was seated at a great table with his alter egos Ner'Zhul and Matthias Lehner. But who knows he could be in the newly decorated Halls of Reflections
That is the alpha forzen throne fo Wotlk
Not sure if we should take an image like that as solid info that Bolvar has defrosted. Could also have been a game limitation of not being able to fade out the ice around him.
There must always be a Lich King.... or Queen.
I for one would love to rejoin the Scourge
Nice to see the Death Knights doing evil stuff again, like they should be doing.
Bruh our campaign wasn't very clean either. We literally killed all kinds of light people at lights hope and tried to raise tirion fordring
Yeah I know, I mean Legion as a whole. I like how they are giving Death Knights the light they deserve. No pun intended.
Bolvar: "As we speak, the Ebon Blade moves to the Broken Isles to hunt for the Dreadlords"
>We never actually fight a single dreadlord in the entire campaign. Mal'ganis is nowhere to be found...
REEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>this isn't 4chan
Not sure they are supposed to do evil stuff, but Anakin Skywalker would be edgily proud.
When it came to northrend i wanted 1 zone to be blizzard ridden, with little visibility and have u dead popping out of thr ice unexpectedly. The lost glacier is as close to that as we will ever get
It's kinda like how duskwood was supposed to be really dark and shit, only this is cooler because it's Northrend.
Soltyrus thing is i think duskwood is still dark enough. We never get a blizzard (heh) in northrend at all
Connor Notyerbidness Yea Northrend's snowy places look like the morning AFTER the snow has fallen, though I do think duskwood could be a lot darker though.
5:20 really wish dragonblight or other notherend zones had blizzards of this scale to give that more immersive cold waste land feeling
ryan edwards I know right!!
Plot twist, we become the lich king
That. Would be. Fucking metal.
Syjinx At least we would finally get to wield Frostmourne instead of the shards. Ppl have been waiting to wield that wicked sword since wotlk
I think it's actually (or was) an in game item during wrath.
Syjinx lore wise = stupid gameplay wise = hell to the yeah
Syjinx Sylvanas should be lich queen
5:27 I also wish blizz put more environments like that, where there's 1% visibility
Im guessing the Lich King is going to make his move while were away having our fel filled fun on Argus.
That or the naga with the old gods.
Kiayateo ya both can
Oh quit teasing us Bolvar... come out and play 😃
That'd be sick if The Lich King comes out to kill Kil'Jaeden and then we find out that Ner'zhul never lost control and all he wanted was revenge for being damned.
CV Anims lol "When I left you I was but a iceberg, now I am the Master!"
"Many years have passed and I have since then sank the world's largest passenger ship."
Glad to know Bolvar never bothered to get a new shirt
Oh Bolvarthas, you'll never change ...
Alextrasza will be so pissed.
It's not like the Silver Hand, Horde, Alliance and fucking Odyn shouldn't be pissed already, half of those met up and chattered during the little meeting with Khadgar. It makes no sense.
Definitely the best quest line, heck maybe the best mount as well.
Best mount? Narrh, just another wyrm.
naraku 578 best questline yeah (and dks have the best campaign imo) but dhs got the best mount though.
Dovahnuke it's not the mount that is good but the mounting animation. And if you cancel mid cast and try to mount again and again you look like you are hopping real high. Looks very troll.
naraku 578 def the best mount. Love being in Frost spec and riding it for the daily pvp tower and arena runs.
The line that The Lich King says: "You are empty inside. Just like me.". It got to me.
I don't believe that Bolvar is in control one little bit any more. If he is, he is corrupted beyond recognition and I hardly think that you can call him Bolvar anymore. (I kinda felt the same way about Arthas, but you know)
Although, all this clears things up about some things. For instance, why would the Knights of the Ebon Blade ever had been allowed to go 'independent' from the Lich King? Maybe Arthas' control was slipping more than anyone realized (maybe even more than he realized). This could be the reason of some of the events in Wrath. Perhaps Bolvar's strength is making the Lich King stronger. (if we choose to see the Lich King as more of a concept/spirit possessing people)
I am fairly certain that prior in the lore it is stated that the intelligent subjects of the Lich King could have their intelligence taken away from them and they would become mindless slaves to the Scourge. I am fairly certain that there is an example of it, provided that this has not been retconned. I am quite certain that this could happen whether they joined willingly as necromancers or they were reanimated into the armies of the Scourge.
Why did Arthas not do this when the Ebon Blade left the Scourge and started fighting against him?
Well, Arthas wanted the heroes to come to him so he could claim the most powerful people on azeroth as his own. Giving the knights of the ebon blade their "freedom" would just be a part in his plan to achieve that goal, as it led to the attack on icecrown. Arthas didnt expect Tirion to break his icecube and shatter Frostmourne however, so the plan fell to pieces. This leads me to believe that the knights of the ebon blade's freedom is an illusion, like the memory of Arthas says, and that the control Arthas had was in fact passed to Bolvar when he donned the Helm of Damnation. This fits thematically too, given how we seem to "retrace" Arthas footsteps from wc3; picking up Frostmourne (for us the remains of it), and having The lich king (for us Bolvar, for Arthas Ner'zhul) talking to and guiding us telepathically while still maintaining the belief that we are in control, just like Arthas did. It seems to me we are being more and more corrupted as well, given how we can purge the last offspring of the red dragonflight. I certainly hope Blizzard doesnt force DK's to become LK though, that would be redicolous.
Inb4 Bolvar goes "yoink" on the entire forsaken faction ;P
Spoegefugl Darion mograine said we are not bound to this new lich king
in a questline in northrend he asks thassarian to rejoin the scourge he had the free will not too. The reason why were so edgy right now is because were death knights we dont give a fuck
yeah then he died
"Your actions stretch the limits of our alliance, death knight."
_Damn straight._ The DK class is starting to really scare me.
I don't really like quests like these because they imply a lot of consequences, which, of course, don't appear ingame.
Basically, the Deathlord would either be hunted down by Alex and the Red dragonflight or transported in time by Chromie and left there.
Also, behaviour like this would seriously lower the DKs' reputation among other Orders. The campaign against the Lich King took place not *too* long ago and the scars are not easily forgotten. Heroes and leaders of Azeroth may decide that it's better to wipe out Acherus right after the Legion's defeat rather than face another Scourge.
DKs are so epic, i love the story they got. Ever since wrath, they were just kinda there. Now, we have the lich king back, all the leaders of ebon hold are pretty much his slaves, and the death lord is basically a semi arthas. Love it, and I love this video, thanks nobbel!
I love what they are doing with Bolvar, i thought from the first moment i heard him in beta that he was good and evil at the same time but evil will win in the end, now he is telling us he has "other plans" wonder if he will do something in some future patch/expansion
I like how 'Nozdormu' is enjoying the death of his close friend's children >_>
Either way, I dislike it heavily due to the player's plot armour. There'll probably never be punishment for Anakin Skywalker or the Lich King for any of the shit they've done.
I don't enjoy that when did i say that silly mortal no wonder poor Malygos went nuts xD
another comment i made:
Nozdormu3 days ago
I'm not slaughtering any innocent Reds for any reason, my choice is made
jesus edited it and didn't even put in a reply to the 2nd half of the comment lol sorry, well i think you are right there, if anything happens i think Bolvar the Paladin will win over The Lich King in his mind, he doesn't have the same path of corruption as Arthas/Ner'Zhul he was a martyr and chose to crown himself which i think means he does have a good portion of free will over the split personality he clearly has, i just hope they don't add him in some dungeon patch as a mini boss because let's face it, theres no one to take his place that wouldn't cause the fan base(s) to rip their respective dicks off and be up in arms on the forums "waaaa why did you kill my favorite character just to make him the new lich king waaa" personally i'm excited about the theory that the next hearthstone xpac is going to be based on Northrend/Bolvar all evidence points to it as a definite but i guess......
(puts on sunglasses)
Time will tell
Sorry
And then people complain about the Airport Mission from Modern Warfare 2.
"Your supplies have likely frozen" Death Knights are undead silly Bolvar, why would they ever need supplies?
I've said it before and will say it again, I don't know who the lich king's voice is but it is not Bolvar Fordragon.
How could you Nobbel! All those red dragons!
Kiwaldo He's dk rping so it's understandable
He's empty inside...just like me.
Milan Vlach 😂😂😂
Yeah! why kill the sex sla-- red dragons?!
Great work as always!
I think Bolvar is under the Old Gods' influence, understandable since his fortress is essentially one giant scab from Yogg'saron and his whispers surge through it.
J the Welsh Warlord the undead are not effected by his blood if I remember
I'd rather think that it's Ner'zhul, not Bolvar in control of the being now. Especially how orcish that "now go! leave this place... and NEVER return!" line sounded.
Undead cannot hear the whispers of the Old Gods, that's why Icecrown is almost entirely built with Saronite.
I thought Ner'Zhul is dead? If I remember correctly there was a passage in the novel of the Lich King where it was described a battle in the mind of the Lich King and Athras killed Ner'Zhul in this battle and became the true Lich King himself? Or maybe I got it wrong ?
No, you got the novel correctly, but some things aren't adding up, suggesting the old orc might've tricked Arthas into believing he was done for, or, in a gradnder scheme, that Arthas' will was his own. Of course, this is a speculation, so take it with a grain of salt.
Firstly, the helmet itself wasn't anything more than a vessel of Ner'zhul's spirit and power (so its no One Ring with a will on its own), so if Arthas had consumed the orc, the Helmet wouldn't be corrupting on its own, yet look at the Bolvar now (to the degree of attacking the Reds and the Light's Hope Chapel - the latter speaking volumes on its own).
Secondly, "Bolvar" was dormant all that time Azeroth was about to be f**ked up, yet the moment an enemy that is somehow personal to the Ner'zhul (KJ, Gul'dan and the Legion) showed up, he took an immediate interest in it, going as far as allying with the Deathknights. Surely, Bolvar wouldn't want to see the world destroyed either, but the timing is somehow curious, especially when DWing was waging a war in his domain back in Cataclysm.
Thirdly - Uther suggested it was "a piece of Arthas" that held the LK back from attacking the Azeroth, but if "piece of Arthas" wasn't as dead as it was in a novel (and we can actually meet that "piece" in-game), then why NZ, as powerful and wise as he is, with the ability to see the future, would fall a victim to some bratty prince will? Also, note that at his deathbead we clearly see Arthas, not LK-Arthas, but the regretful prince Arthas lying in his father's arms, suggesting whatever lingered in the helmet was subjugating him to its will.
Lastly, there's small things here and there: the voice - both that part of his farewell to Tirion, and his current voice, note how he sounds EXACTLY the same as LK Arthas, despite being a different person underneath. Also, there's one curious interaction outside of WoW, in HoTS to be exact: there when Gho'gall sees The Lich King he says "Ner'zhul?! No... someone else?" - if it was *just* Arthas in there, I don't think the ogre would've recognized him.
What really get me was: "Of course, should you faill to survive, know that I shall claim Acherus for my own."
Still kind of funny that DK as short term for Deathknight sounds like "decay"
Always love your vids Nobbel.
I don't even play WoW anymore, but Nobbel keeps me updated on all the best parts.
Thanks for saving me $15/mo haha.
Is there a lore explanation as to why the dragon you raise is like 60 times smaller than the dragon you see laying in the ice??
no, its just for gameplay reasons. it would be annoying for everyone else to see a huge ass dragon.
Thank you for uploading a video about my favoured class on my birthday, nice timing.
Happy birthday!
Nobbel87 Thank you.
death knight has such cool lore elements i mean look at this quest this makes me wanna play dk even more
_With how far we're getting as a Death Knight, I won't be surprised if in a while from now we soon become able to take on the role of the leaders of our factions._
_Like, we could go from Deathlord... to being the NEW Lich King._
_And maybe they could have the dormant state do a time-skip like they did with the Demon Hunters, so when we do awaken as the new Lich King, it'll be several years after we overthrew Bolvar~_
_I'd adore that, and imagine if they did similar things with the other classes? Maybe depending on if you're more aligned with the Horde or Alliance, you could later become the leaders of Stormwind or Orgrimmar?_
Death knights always has the coolest quest lines
I love these DK quest lines during legion, they're so good. I look forward to doing this one, these are the first times since starting my DK that I feel like I'm doing things truly evil
As a DK-alt player, I personaly dont like the path Bolvar is taking us, as I want my character to seek redemption, therefore I havent killed a single Red Dragon during the mount quest.
BUT, I do love that Blizzard is taking this questline as a HUGE plot point for both DKs and dragons, it makes me afraid for the consequences and where will DKs go from here, that is if Blizzard actually follows up this story with some actual consequence.
#reddragonslivesmatter
My DK will not stop until Tirion marches in our ranks.
Well Sadly Tirion Died and the Highlord is the Player Paladin
This just convinces me further that Blizz actively wants to curb Dragons into the filthiest dirt until they're extinct and then spit on the memory they leave behind.
Ahh back to lore. I think the greatest of your narrative talents. Thanks a tonne.
In reality if we are just tools of the Lich King I must agree he has a plan, otherwise he would've taken Acherus by now. Maybe with Argus it will be just that, in an effort to slay the one who had Kil'Jaden create the "Lich King" in the first place, but what then? Are we ever truly free or are we forced to serve and given the decency of not being mindless slaves to his will. Very many ways this could go and I would love to see all of them. Great vid BTW : D
If you kill the big red dragon in the ruby sanctum, you get great rewards such as a large bone....
Something just occurred to me. What happened to Arthas' body? Was it burned? If not, can't Bolvar just raise Arthas as his minion? We raised Darion, who had died for the second time, so couldn't Bolvar do the same thing with Arthas?
As someone who's been maining death knight since wrath, I am really happy with what they are doing with the class, I feel like we are having storylines not just tied up, but new ones created to draw you in further to the class. I also have a speculation that with archerus so close to the death of the broken shore, bolvar is planning on resurrected all the dead there.
i did it myself but iam here to acknowledge the photoshop work in the thumbnail. SeemsGood :)
Plot Twist (illidan-like) Arthas was just collecting powerful objects/artifacts and trying to bolster his army with us, the champions he sought to revive after 1-shotting us just to form a barricade for the legion and possibly fight back. I mean... we fought two dudes who already defied the legion. We are already proven we did wrong about one. Its Blizzard. Who knows.
p.s. searching would bring him to Illidan which from that duel they had they would become partners out of need because same enemy. Illidan the frontliner with his DHs and himself and Arthas the backup plan and army bolstering to Illidans army. Since.. well, undeads/DKs are kinda imune to mind control from the legion(i guess, dont know for sure) and DHs already know how to resist it.
Imagine, The lich king, under the command of an old god. What nightmares could that make?
I love the direction they're taking with Bolvar. Because to me, the Lich King was always a schemer, especially in WC3 where he had everything planned out perfectly, and even in WotLK he played all his cards right, if it hadn't been for Tirion/Light ex machina (TWICE! might I add). So seeing him taking the backseat in all this makes me giddy he's gonna make some grand entrance later on being all like "Ho ho ho, travelers! I see you found the pillars of creation I'll be taking those now thanks" and then doing some unholy nonsense with them. Or something like that.
Nice - looks even more than the cinematic with dk t19 mythic
I think Shadowlands is what is happening with Bolvar and the Death Knights. I am not sure if this is a force that is linked to the Void, or an entity on it's own. But I think that is what is influencing all of this.
Man the DKs are getting more and more "empty" as things go on, I love it! Maybe the rest of us might have to fight them after all this time trying to remain allies with our undead friends and family
Blizzard is really showing the love for the Death Knight, first we get to add a giant undead dragon and her brood to our airforce and now we get a cool mount quest that echoes the awesome Wrath cinematic.
I think this was the coolest questline I ever did in this game.
Well it's pretty clear that Bolvar isn't really there, only Ner'zhul commands, though he was a shaman at some point in time and even realised that the Legion is bad.
This quest almost makes me want to start playing again. Almost. The DK has been my favorite from a play aspect as well as lore since I started playing back in WotLK. It would take way too much to get caught up at this point, so I doubt Ill do it.
Is ner'zul regaining control? Bolvar seems to be controlled by him
Faction Leader : What then differs you (insert player name) from the lich king himself?
Player: Isnt it obvious? I serve the (insert faction)
Faction Leader: Watch your tongue, else the world will come after you and your wicked kind next
Is it possible that the Lich King is its own seperate entity, and that the host's personality is drowned out? Looking at some of the Lich King's dialogue from Wrath it's certainly a possibility ("He is merely a ghost now. A fain echo within my mind." - "I was once a shaman.")
Whatever the case, Bolvar definitely has his own, likely more sinister plans in mind.
Only thing I wish I did differently on this questline was switch out to my shadowmourne for the cutscene
I wouldn't mind just getting those DK class mounts in the mail as long we still kill the the old Lich King (Arthas version) in the dungeon (which can happen by a solo fist fight in AFK mode.)
Just finished this awhile ago was not disappointed
I did a theory video that stacks up evidence against Bolvar and supports the idea that player death knights have very little, if any, agency.
Considering we end up losing our artifact weapons at the end of legion by some means, I feel like the lich king's story might really continue there. But who knows. I'm really enjoying these little bits they're giving us. Their storyline was always awesome.
Dayum! They really are setting things up for a future Lich King expansion/story arc. Can't wait! It does seem as though Bolvar has lost (or is losing) his grip, and is slowly getting more and more corrupted and empty like Arthas did.
Correction at around 8:05, it was a blue dragon, not a red one.
Nah a red one, check the mount description and the entire questline.
Absolutely loved doing this quest chain. Especially that WoTLK cinematic style player cinematic at the end.
It's cool to see how dark the death knights have been throughout legion, and rip red dragons
Awesome video as always, Nobbel!
you got this one out pretty fast
Who was The Lich King talking about when he said you are under HIS will and your life is in HIS hands. Was it Ner'zul? This quest line just made me think that Bolvar is not in control anymore
Bolvar seems more devious than Arthas was... Arthas was bent on control, Bolvar seems more a manipulator, allowing a sense of self control but at any moment could (and likely will) reveal it all as a lie, Bolvar has played a silent but evident part in the Legion, giving information, teaching maybe but not so much orders per say, the Ebon Blade seems ready to carry out the will of the Lich King but because they want to, not because they are forced to, Bolvar also saying with the Feat of Strength that you are as empty as he is further confirms the corruption that he has fallen into, though I see him perhaps becoming similar to Illidan in the long term, both the Lich King and Illidan were tools of the Legion, Illidan has turned these powers against his masters always having his own mind while following orders of the Legion with ulterior motives, the Lich King was a servant of the Legion but broke free with the power of Frostmourne though the world had a vendetta against Arthas, now that Bolvar is the Lich King he may follow Illidan's path...
"Unholy Determination"?
An optional quest to massacre all creatures present just for bragging rights?
"You are empty inside, just lke me"?
Did Blizz just sneak in an Undertale reference for this part of the Mount quest?
well, there goes our friendship with the Dragonqueen Alexstrasza...
i think, that she won't be taking it for granted when we show up, before up her.
Us: Hee Alexstrasza, look i resurrected one of your Children, to be my mount :)
Alexstrasza: you did...WHAT!? GET OUT OF MY TEMPLE!! *cries*
Achievement or not I still slaughtered the entirety of the ruby sanctum down to the last whelping. I love my blood elf death knight. It will always be my main.
after you raise the dragon, theres wotlk cinematic music but in this video theres not
"Of course, should you fail to survive, know that I shall claim Acherus for my own. Arthas may have sought revenge on the citadel, but I have... other plans."
Time has told us indeed Nobbel....
Wow the Dk questline is awesome
Hey, Nobbel87. I am here to make a video request.
I would hope you do a Lore Video about the Bloodsail Buccaneers, how they would advance throughout WoW, and if they are quite interesting compared to most factions. They appeared in some WoW comics, had ties to the Defias Brotherhood, and their leaders have evil plans for Booty Bay. Will Blizzard ever go full on with this submarine ideas? Yes, SUBMARINE!
Well, I hope you could :D
I really liked the lore and quest behind this mount. Sadly i dont like the actual mount that much.
"Thousands of undead marching...."
Called it. Scourge going rampant. Called it.
In BFA theres a quest to pevent a death knight from doing this again in drustvar given by a red dragon. If you are a dk and did this quest she calls you out for it and tells you to make amends.
At the end of the quest as a dk you can try to attack her to which she promplty basically throws you off the side of the mountain
What quest is this?
@@5x3x1x5 drustvar, down the hill from aroms stand towards the coast look for a couple of kul tiran druids, they give a couple quests then the red dragon shows up
when the lich king speaks.. I hear Liam Neeson XD
Nobbel your transmog game is weak XD
yes it is
Im so dissapointed in you Nobbel, murdering all those dragons!
Nobbel87 you need to do the Preist class mount next. you should love it.
WHOS IN THE COFFIN
Manic soulcaster for next hearthstone video!
There is a theory that Yogg Saron secretly manipulated Arthas and manipulated Bolvar being crowned, so therefore the Deathlord is under the control of an Old God
8:29 who knows, they haven't always been consistent with who the final boss of an expansion is going to be based on how it starts or at least what to expect from said final boss.
BC advertised Illidan but ended with Kale and Kil'jaden. Mists of Pandaria seemed up in the air but how many people really knew it would end as it did with an Old God empowered Garrosh. Warlords tried to make us think Guldan was out of the picture early and that Hellscream would be the big bad (did u even fight him at all?) but boom Final boss Archimonde.
Does this expansion end at Tomb of Sargeras? They may throw a new curve ball, they've hinted at plenty of stuff.
It was inevitable, one way or another, the Lich King gave death knights their life, brought them into existence, and despite the hatred, he will always be a sort of a father-figure, even if they themselves will not admit it.
Plus, as the image of Arthas from frost artifact hidden effect says,- ''you imagine yourself free'' ''you will always be his instrument''.
In the end, you cannot deny the purpose your were created for to begin with, the one thing that drives them - being a ruthless killing machine. They are despised by all of living, belong nowehere else but the one place LK resides in, how long could any of em keep going like it, caged like rabid animals.
Do you think Bolvar just hated red dragons after they scarred him of his fate? Because you gotta remember the "wrath gate scene" he would of died from plague bombs but was able hold on just for the red dragons to show up and to stop the plague gas from spreading and when he got burned and later he ended up of the top of IceCrown then was on the throne during the fall of the former lich king, Arthas.
I guess he was looking for revenge after his what you call now a cruse, and maybe he wanted revenge and have someone else do the dirty work, and now red dragons are screwed. Maybe not I dunno but DKs just doing what they want just like the
Warlocks.
For the record if anyone is wondering what happens when you spare the drakes you get the handful of nothing, but at least you'er a good noodle for not slaying the red dragons
mn i wish i knew about the feat when i finished the quest
you shoud give the addon immersion a try polishes up the quest frame alot :)
A vision...many would not understand.
