Lessons From Our Past

Speak with Scalecommander Emberthal.

• Speak with Scalecommander Emberthal to learn of past events

I am Emberthal, a scalecommander of the dracthyr. Wrathion aided us after we awakened from our long stasis, and now it is my turn to help him.

No doubt you have questions about my people and our history. Until recently, I did as well.

But Nozdormu, the Timeless One, has revealed lost truths about the dracthyr. He granted me a vision of our origins... and why we were locked away.

Let me tell you of the things I have seen.

You will receive:

• 1,150 XP

There is much we can learn from one another.

Now you know the truth.

The past is the past. It is time for the dracthyr to seek a new future alongside the other peoples of Azeroth.

• Speaking with Emberthal
• There is so much more to this world than Neltharion taught us.

• So many truths we must discover for ourselves.

• Legacies chapter three plays out.

• The sandstorm continues to blow as Nozdormu pops in and out of vision.

• Nozdormu holds up his hand and invokes some bronze time magic.
• bossemote
• Emberthal nods her head and steps forward as the time magic closes the gap, then wraps itself around her. She closes her eyes.
• bossemote

• Emberthal thinks back to the time where she is leading her own battalion of soldiers.
• bossemote
• The camera pans left to spot Neltharion at the top of a flight of stairs looking down at Emberthal, demonstrating in front of a group of soldiers.
• bossemote
• The memory zooms in on Neltharion, equipped with a titan artifact on his right wrist, glowing brightly with power.
• bossemote
• The view shifts back to Nozdormu and Emberthal in the shifting sands.
• bossemote
• Emberthal whips her head around to glare at Nozdormu.
• bossemote
• The flash of a lightning strike startles Emberthal as she turns away to look at it.
• bossemote
• The view shifts back to Emberthal's memory. From off in the distance, five proto-drakes fly in, Raszageth leading the charge. She launches a lightning breath attack.
• bossemote
• The lightning blast seemingly catches Emberthal unawares, as it lands mere feet in front of her, knocking her back one way as her battalion gets blasted the other direction.
• bossemote
• Raszageth swoops down for an attack run, blasting more soldiers with lightning. The next shot shows three breath attacks: lightning, fire, and water.
• bossemote
• Untold numbers of dragons fall out of the sky. The ground forces fall back to the stairs where Neltharion stands.
• bossemote
• A lightning strike lands on Oathbinder, shattering it.
• bossemote
• bossemote
• Raszageth blasts another battalion of soldiers as she closes in on Neltharion. The view focuses on his face, as his eyes--red pupils with a black sclera--turn purple as Neltharion yells with a force of will. The characteristic tentacles of the Old Gods appear behind him.
• bossemote
• As the purple glow extends from Neltharion's eyes, a portal appears behind Raszageth, who is still using her lightning breath attack on anything that moves. In an instant, the portal expands and starts sucking Raszageth in. She claws at the ground in a futile attempt to stop her backward movement, but to no avail, as the portal pulls her in and then closes.
• The scene shifts back to the sands. Nozdormu closes his eyes.
• bossemote
• Emberthal is holding up her left arm and wing in an attempt to shield herself from the sand.
• bossemote
• bossemote
• bossemote
• bossemote
• As the sand continues to pick up, Emberthal stops shielding herself from it and walks forward with intensity, past Nozdormu and into the bronze magic. The sand immediately stops, and she looks at Neltharion some yards away. A glow of power slides along the ground, freezing the dracthyr caught by it, turning them to stone. Emberthal looks in disbelief as more dracthyr are frozen. One desperately reaches out toward Emberthal as she, too, starts to freeze. She reaches out towards Neltharion as the magic takes hold. Not even pausing, Neltharion turns around and walks away, fading into the mists as the scene fades to black.
• bossemote
• Emberthal looks at the frozen version of herself as she says this. The sands pick up, taking away the past version of herself, leaving Nozdormu in her place. She falls to her knees.
• bossemote
• bossemote
• Nozdormu walks past her as Emberthal looks up at him.
• bossemote
• He stops for a moment to look back at her.
• bossemote
• The scene shifts to an exterior view, somewhere on the Dragon Isles. Innumerable dragons fly in the distance.
