Unlocking Dracthyr

Dracthyr characters will be available on November 15, 2022, as part of Phase 2 of the Dragonflight pre-patch event.

As of the Dragonflight pre-patch, you can only create one Dracthyr per realm, and you need to have a level 60 character on that realm for Dracthyr creation to be enabled.Blizzard View Original

Lore of the Dracthyr

The Dracthyr are an ancient race of humanoid dragonkin that can use the magic of all main dragonflights as Evokers and shapeshift between a draconic form and a humanoid appearance.

Neltharion the Earth-Warder created the Dracthyr before descending into corruption and becoming Deathwing. Neltharion developed the Dracthyr to be the greatest dragon fighters – Although regular dragons were tough, strong, and loyal beasts, they lacked the cunning and flexibility required to fight a war that Neltharion knew was inevitable. As a result of this thinking, Neltharion built the Forbidden Reach as a covert training facility for the Dracthyr.

The island lay dormant for eons after a horrible conflict – The Dracthyr were commanded to go to their creches, where they were locked away by Malygos, the Aspect of Magic, and there they were abandoned for over 20,000 years. When the Primalists landed in the Forbidden Reach to liberate Raszageth, a surge of power reawakened the Dragon Isles and, with it, the Dracthyr, whose memories of the past were merely a haze.

Dracthyr Weyrns

The Dracthyr army is organized into Weyrn factions. Each Weyrn specializes on one fighting skill, and each Dracthyr is allocated to a certain Weyrn. Each weyrn has a leader known as a Scalecommander, who is a Dracthyr trained for the post by Neltharion himself. Members of a weyrn form an unbreakable relationship out of duty and loyalty to the dragons. There are five types of Weyrns:

• The Obsidian Warders are tasked with safeguarding the Dragonflights’ friends and strongholds. They are the personification of Neltharion’s aegis, whether dispatched to bolster draconic forces or to watch the sky. They are headed by Scalecommander Azurathel and have been educated to be the principal bulwark against the Dragonflights’ foes. After the events of the Forbidden Reach, the Dracthyr Weyrn joins the Alliance as the Obsidian Warders.
• The Dark Talons are taught to be destructive weapons, to crush an enemy’s will and destabilize its commanders. The Dark Talons undergo rigorous training in order to be able to strike down ten adversaries from behind. They are headed by Scalecommander Cindrethresh and will be dreaded by all foes of the Dragonflights. After the events of the Forbidden Reach, the Dark Talons are the Dracthyr Weyrn who eventually joins the Horde.
• The Healing Wings are tasked with serving as a sign of hope for people who consider the Aspects to be allies. This weyrn is tasked with learning the healing arts, harnessing the powers of both time and the Emerald Dream to restore individuals who have been injured to full strength. They reflect Neltharion’s endurance and fortitude, led by Scalecommander Viridia. Following the events of the Forbidden Reach, the Healing Wings returned to the Dragon Isles to continue their goal of healing the injured.
• The Ebon Scales are tasked with annihilating any adversaries of the Black Dragonflight. They have been schooled in the skills of spellcasting in order to rain down fire and devastation on anyone who oppose the Earth-Warder. During the events of the Forbidden Reach, its leader, Scalecommander Sarkareth, came to think that Neltharion had broken their trust by keeping them in stasis for so long, and they defected along with the rest of the Dracthyr, becoming foes under the name Sundered Flame.
• The Adamant Vigil was taught to be the Black Dragonflight’s ears and eyes. They were instructed to exploit their adversaries’ vulnerabilities and augment the power of their own friends. Only the most daring and skilled commanders were permitted to join the ranks of the Adamant Vigil. Their weyrn, however, was destroyed by the Primalists during the events of the Forbidden Reach, with only their leader, Scalecommander Emberthal, surviving to serve as an envoy between the Dracthyr, mortals, and dragons.

Dracthyr Evokers

No matter whatever weyrn they are assigned to, every Dracthyr is reared as an adept soldier in service to the Earth-Warder. However, a select few transcend the talents of their allocated weyrn, mastering the specialties of all five weyrns and switching between them at will. The Evokers are the greatest of the best Dracthyr.

Evokers have the uncommon capacity to concentrate their essences into either a weapon of destruction or a preservation instruction. Only a few Dracthyr are able to perfect this skill, and only these Dracthyr are granted the title of Evoker.
