The Obsidian Warders are charged with defending the allies of the Dragonflights and their strongholds. Whether sent to reinforce draconic legions or guard the skies, they are the embodiment of Neltharion's aegis. They're led by Scalecommander Azurathel and are trained to be the primary bulwark upon which the enemies of the Dragonflights will break. The Obsidian Warders are the Dracthyr Weyrn that eventually joins the Alliance, after the events of the Forbidden Reach.

The Dark Talons are trained to be weapons of destruction, to crush an enemy's will and topple their leaders. The Dark Talons go through intensive training to be able to strike down ten foes from behind. They're led by Scalecommander Cindrethresh to be the elite force that will be feared by all enemies of the Dragonflights. The Dark Talons are the Dracthyr Weyrn that eventually joins the Horde, after the events of the Forbidden Reach.

The Healing Wings are charged to be the symbol and the hope among those who call the Aspects their allies. This weyrn is charged with mastering the healing arts, using the powers of both time and the Emerald Dream to return those wounded to their full force. Led by Scalecommander Viridia, they embody the resilience and fortitude of Neltharion. After the events of the Forbidden Reach, the Healing Wings traveled to the Dragon Isles to maintain their mission to heal the wounded.

The Ebon Scales are charged with bringing destruction to all enemies of the Black Dragonflight. They are trained in the arts of spellcasting to rain down fire and unleash devastation upon those who would stand against the Earth-Warder. During the events of the Forbidden Reach, their leader, Scalecommander Sarkareth has come to believe that Neltharion betrayed their trust after leaving them in stasis for such a long time, and they defected the rest of the Dracthyr, becoming enemies under the name Sundered Flame.

The Adamant Vigil was trained to become the ears and eyes of the Black Dragonflight. They were trained to learn the weaknesses of their enemies and amplify the strength of their allies. Only the boldest and most gifted commanders were able to join the ranks of the Adamant Vigil. However, their weyrn was destroyed by the Primalists during the events of the Forbidden Reach, with the only survivor being their leader, Scalecommander Emberthal, who now serves as an ambassador between the Dracthyr, the mortals, and the dragons.

Comment by Royceman95

Is there a Dracthyr quest for Alliance to a free vorquin?

Comment by coto1999

Is there any method to change your visage with another race?

Comment by Kurtosis

Does double-jump glide work for Dracthyr who are not Evokers? That would be useful for mobility-limited classes like Priests.

Comment by Kurtosis

I race-changed from Undead to Dracthyr, and Tail Swipe is missing from my spellbook. I only have Wing Buffet. Thought Dracthyr were supposed to get both those spells, regardless which class.

For whatever it may be worth, I had tried Dracthyr about a year ago and for whatever reason found it stressful. Now I'm trying it again (as of 6/4) and find it not only fun and doable, but by putting my emphasis on gathering (herbalism, mining, fishing) it's also quite relaxing. I do quests as they come up, but pretty much stick to campaign quests and don't pursue every collateral quest (I find myself leveling up just as fast with the gathering, and don't have anywhere the stress of combat. Dracthyr Evoker also has a powerful armory from early on, so he's pretty hard to defeat, making combat all the easier as well. A year ago I struggled with the flying (kind of an important thing with this race), but by now , while I am not exactly the Red Baron, my flying skills are fairly fluent and I was able to translate them to Dracthyr readily. For those of you into fishing, the Ruby Life Pools have a lot of fish and a range of the desirable ones (Islefin Dorado, Scalebelly Mackere. and so on). So I find myself able to do some questing, some gathering, some fishing, and generally have a pleasurable day. I don't say this often, but ... Thanks, Blizz!
