Highlord Demitrian

Highlord Demitrian is a human located at the Ravaged Twilight Camp in Silithus. He is a major character in the quest-line to get Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker.

During the Burning Legion's third invasion, he was approached by the Earthen Ring. Miraculously, he survived Sargeras's destruction of Silithus and is located in the Crystal Vale.

During the Fourth War, he went to the Wailing Caverns to harvest Azerite, but was stopped.

• Thunderaan the Windseeker (quest)
• Rise, Thunderfury!

• Servant of the Windseeker
• Blessed Blade of the Windseeker

• Azeroth Bleeds

• Look to this ravaged field and know the power that the elements hold,.

• I know much, listen and be educated,.

• In the time before time, what the usurpers would later call the First Age of Creation, my master and his siblings ruled over this world. It was they, the Old Gods who created all.

• And it was they who would ultimately be cast down by those that would call themselves Shapers.

• Their manifest forms weak from eons of battle, imprisoned beneath the world - the world that they themselves created - the corruption of the Titan Shapers would permeate through the surface and befoul the Old Gods.

• It was then and there that the brothers did turn. For five millennia a battle was fought at the core of this world.

• It was during the Elemental Sundering that the Firelord, Ragnaros, would seek to consume my Lord, Thunderaan, Prince of Air.

• <Demitrian bows his head, his face contorted in rage.>

• Speak his name and I will decorate this ravaged camp with your entrails. Be silent and listen.

• It was the Lieutenants of Ragnaros, Geddon and Garr, who would perpetrate the betrayal against my Lord. Thunderaan was caught unaware.

• The Firelord's advances were wholly unknown to Thunderaan. before my Lord could react, Sulfuras, legendary hammer of Ragnaros, would strike an unmerciful blow. Thunderaan fell, utterly defeated.

• The Firelord feasted upon the essence of my Lord, but was unable to consume him entirely.

• What little remained of Thunderaan's essence was stored within a talisman of elemental binding. Ragnaros then shattered the talisman in two flawless pieces. The pieces assigned to his Lieutenants...

If you talk to him with one of the Bindings of the Windseeker in your inventory:

• <Demitrian falls to his knees.>

• You have recovered my Master's eternal prison!

• Oh long have I waited for this day and finally, it is realized.

• He must be released!

• I hold the vessel of his rebirth. Should you be prepared to take on this task, you will be required to fortify the vessel and ultimately, break the hold of Ragnaros himself!

• The vessel of rebirth must be fortified with elementium. I know of only one source of the mineral: the elemental planes, at the core of our world.

• There is one, an Earthshaper, who may know more than I about the acquisition of such things. You must find this Earthshaper!

• The corporeal form of Ragnaros must be destroyed. From the remnants, his essence shall emerge. In this weakened state, Ragnaros' grip on the prison of Thunderaan is loosed. The essence itself acting as a key...

• Highlord Demitrian then gives you the Vessel of Rebirth.

Years later after Thunderaan's death, Demitrian commented on what he learned of Skywall and that the Elemental Plane was kept separate from Azeroth to keep it safe from their denizens. Considering he cowered beneath the power of just one of these beings for years, he felt that all of them accessing the world through the Cataclysm would shatter it.

Apparently not all the Twilight's Hammer followers are the skilled warlocks they purport to be. A warlock called Highlord Demitrian got a bit greedy raising the crystals of Silithus from beneath the sands. It seems he tried to enslave a powerful air elemental called Thunderaan, but got caught himself. Now he and his men serve the wind elemental, searching the area for a talisman.

Demitrian was recruited at an early age by the Twilight's Hammer, who found him a willing and able student of the shaman's art - a rare feature in a human. He grew quickly in rank and power, earning the rank of highlord at an unusually young age. Unfortunately, his brashness led to overconfidence. While serving at a post in the Crystal Vale in Silithus, he learned secret ways to soothe and control the enraged air elementals there. Convinced he could bend any elemental to his will, he dared assault an enormous wind elemental called Thunderaan. Instead of taking control of the elemental, Demitrian fell under its sway. Soon after, the forces of air demolished the Twilight's Hammer outpost, but Demitrian was allowed to live as Thunderaan's servant. Now he searches for the remaining essences of his master, torn from him by Ragnaros in ages past.

Considering he serves the Windlord, it is likely—and outright stated in the non-canon Warcraft RPG—that Demitrian is a rare example of a human shaman introduced prior to the Kul Tiran shaman in Battle for Azeroth.
