Notable Characters

Alexstrasza the Life-Binder

Aspect of the Red Dragonflight and Queen of the Dragons, Alexstrasza the Life-Binder has been the leader and guide of all the Dragonflights for Ten Thousand Years. It was she who commanded the return to the Dragon Isles, and her hope is that she and her fellow Aspects will be able to regain their Aspect Powers. As the Guardian of Life, Alexstrazsa cares deeply about the lives of all on Azeroth - even when it's meant opposing her own kin, as in the Nexus Wars.

Despite her impressive history, Alexstrasza has recently begun to show doubts, expressing regrets over past decisions such as the treatment of the Primalist Incarnates.

Though she is at first seemingly oblivious to the rebel dragonkin's grievances - Alexstrasza takes the rebellion seriously, and by the end of the questline has worked to understand their point of view.

Maldra Flametongue

A former rebel, Maldra Flametongue is a dragonspawn who joined the rebellion for legitimate reasons. She chose to leave after witnessing tactics she could not condone when the rebels at Misty Vale decided to work with the Primalists.

The childhood friend of Investigator Erima, Maldra redeemed herself by helping the investigator shut down her former rebel camp at Misty Vale. However, despite condemning some of their methods, she has maintained that many of the rebellion's grievances are valid.

Even by the end of the questline, Maldra remains suspicious of Alexstrasza's promises and declines an invitation to once again serve alongside the dragons - stating she may reconsider once she sees evidence of real change in dragon society.

Instigator Belaphon

A leader of the rebellion, Instigator Belaphon is the author of The Dragonkin Voice - a series of propaganda pamphlets highlighting the rebellion's grievances with the Dragon Aspects, and calling those discontented dragonkin to action.

Intelligent and sincere in his cause, Belaphon is a persuasive writer, and his words resonate with a great many dragonkin.

By the end of the questline, Belaphon accepts Alexzstrasza's offer to rejoin the Dragonflights, dedicating his pen to their cause - in exchange for a pardon for his part in the rebellion, and a promise that Dragon society will be changed to better address the rebellion's grievances.

Cause Without a RebelNeryssa's original articleMisty ValeResidente temporal de ThaldraszusMaldra Flametongue says: ... so when I saw we were hurting other dragonkin, I knew I was on the wrong side.
Alexstrasza the Life-Binder says: But what drew you to their cause? You do not seem dishonorable.
Maldra Flametongue says: No, it was honor that drew me to the cause. The treatment of dragonkin seemed... dishonorable.
Maldra Flametongue says: We cared for this land for centuries without the dragons, but were reduced to mere servants when you returned.
Maldra Flametongue says: So I joined the rebels because we had been pushed aside, expected to serve as though the dragons had never left.The Dragonkin VoiceLa voz de los dragonantes 1: El valor de un dragonante: "The dragons believE they're worth more than us. That's why Sendrax had to sacrifice herself, foR a dragon egg that might not even be viable. They say she's a herO, but she's really their victim. Instigator Belaphon"
La voz de los dragonantes 2: 100 siglos abandonados: "FoR 100 Years, theY left us alone, while we tended to "their" isles, guarded "their" cities and roads, and kept the peace. TheY haVe repeated that abandonment 99 more times. Should we welcome them with open arms, and obey as before? -Instigator Belaphon"
La voz de los dragonantes 3: 100 siglos independientes: "The dragons returned expecting us to Be what we were, but in tHose 100 Centuries, we changed. We grew. We serve them no longer, and are serFs no longer. We've chosen our Path for 10,000 years, and we will do so again. -Instigator Belaphon"
La voz de los dragonantes 4: Poder y razón: "The dragons have ruled us because theY're stronger than we. But together, in our great numbers, we're stronger than they. If might makes right, then we are right, if we haVe courage to riSe up together. -Instigator Belaphon"
La voz de los dragonantes 5: El código rebelde: "And so we Swear one and all to the rebel code. No ruler but one's selF. No purpose but independence. No flight but the flightless. -Instigator Belphon"
The Rebellion's CauseRebel Drakonid: We didn't ask to serve the dragons. We didn't choose to serve the dragons. We were simply commanded to. Against our will.
Alexstrasza the Life-Binder says: We wanted willing allies, not forced servitude. It seems we took their allegiance for granted.
---
Rebel Drakonid says: Every time there's a war, the dragons send us off to die in huge numbers. They want us to fight for them, but what do we get from this?
Alexstrasza the Life-Binder says: So many dragons have died to protect Azeroth over the centuries. I had viewed it as us fighting together, not just sending our troops to war.
---
Rebel Drakonid says: Valdrakken was our home, and the dragons pushed us out when they returned.
Alexstrasza the Life-Binder says: We always thought of Valdrakken as our home. We must remember it is home to the dragonkin as well.
---
Rebel Drakonid says: I have my own dreams beyond fighting wars for dragons.
Alexstrasza the Life-Binder says: I had not considered this. I do not wish to prevent them from pursuing their own dreams.
---
Rebel Drakonid says: I don't see any reason we need the dragons! They left this land to us for 10,000 years. And everything was fine.
Alexstrasza the Life-Binder says: That hadn't occurred to me. But surely they must see we need to work together to protect the Isles.
Alexstrasza the Life-Binder says: Come with me back to Captain Drine, at the entrance to the Rampart. I'd like to discuss what the rebels are saying.A New EraAlexstrasza the Life-Binder says: Belaphon, this rebellion has gone long enough. As has our poor treatment of the dragonkin.
Alexstrasza the Life-Binder says: I've asked <name> to bring you to the Seat of the Aspects so we can discuss the rights and respect that are fair to dragonkin.
Instigator Belaphon says: I'm glad you've come to see reason! We've fought long and hard for...
Alexstrasza the Life-Binder says: Belaphon! This decision comes in spite of your violence, not because of it.
Alexstrasza the Life-Binder says: Dragonkin - including many of your rebels - are now dead because of this rebellion. Many of them were innocent, and none needed to die.
Alexstrasza the Life-Binder says: But, in talking with our rebel prisoners, I've come to see our treatment of dragonkin has been, at times, disrespectful, inconsiderate, and unfair.
Alexstrasza the Life-Binder says: We dragons must hold ourselves to a higher standard, and it shall begin with treating dragonkin fairly and as equals.
Instigator Belaphon says: That is what I fought for.
Alexstrasza the Life-Binder says: You, however, must still pay for your crimes.
Instigator Belaphon says: My actions were to make the plight of dragonkin known!
Alexstrasza the Life-Binder says: And how many of your own kin were sacrificed so you could make that plight known?
Alexstrasza the Life-Binder says: However, it's my understanding that you have a way with words, and with quills.
Instigator Belaphon says: Yes, that is indeed true.
Alexstrasza the Life-Binder says: From this day forward, we will invite the dragonkin to join us in our work, not demand or require it. With respect as part of the flights, not mere servants of them.
Alexstrasza the Life-Binder says: If you would willingly put your words and your quills to work explaining these new realities, and this grand invitation to defend Azeroth together...
Instigator Belaphon says: Yes, I would do this for my people.
Alexstrasza the Life-Binder says: Then I will defer your sentence while you do this work.
Instigator Belaphon says: As long as the dragons honor this pact, so will I.
Alexstrasza the Life-Binder says: Maldra, your assistance has been invaluable throughout this struggle.
Alexstrasza the Life-Binder says: Would you be willing to take up this invitation? To serve alongside the dragons to protect these isles and Azeroth?
Maldra Flametongue says: My queen, I am honored by your request, considering my past aiding the rebellion.
Maldra Flametongue says: I will consider your request, but for now I must decline. It will take time to see if the dragons will truly abide this equal relationship.
Maldra Flametongue says: If I see dragonkin treated fairly throughout the isles over time, perhaps I will return to offer my aid.
Maldra Flametongue says: It's much harder to change actions than to make proclamations.
Alexstrasza the Life-Binder says: I see. I'm sorry to hear that, but you are completely free to make that choice.
Alexstrasza the Life-Binder says: Your help will always be welcome, should you change your mind.
