Rheastrasza

Rheastrasza, also known by her goblin guise Rhea, is a quest giver initially found at Rhea's Camp in the Badlands.

The main storyline quest of the Badlands in Cataclysm is centered around her research of the black dragonflight and of a way of purifying them. She hired a group of mercenaries and has captured the black dragon, Nyxondra, and forces her to lay eggs for the experiments. She feels pity for the black dragon but believes it to be for the greater good. After succeeding in creating a purified black dragon egg, she constantly moves around to avoid being found by agents of the black dragonflight, who want to destroy the egg.

In the quest Rheastrasza's Gift, she is killed by Deathwing, who was after the egg. The egg he destroyed, however, was not the purified one, but Rheastrasza's own egg. The surviving purified egg would later hatch as the Black Prince Wrathion.
