The gang at Dragonscale Camp

The Tale of Hraxian is offered by Veritistrasz at Dragonscale Camp the next daily reset after completing N [70] Stain Removal, the capstone of the "Medicinal Fungi" optional storyline of the Embers of Neltharion campaign. Players must have also completed the full "Verbal Archaeology" questline from the Zskera Vaults in the Forbidden Reach storyline, concluding with N [70] A Dusty Vase, for Veritistrasz to offer this quest.

Objectives[]

Listen to the tale of Hraxian.

  • Listen to the tale of Hraxian

Description[]

Hello <name>, it is good to see you.

Would you like to join us around the fire? I think it is time we heard a positive story about the obsidian flight of old.

I once promised yourself and Voraxian I would tell you the story from the vase you found in the Zskera Vaults. I believe it is that time.

Rewards[]

You will receive:

Progress[]

It is always a pleasure, <name>.

Completion[]

<Veritistrasz sits in silence for a short while.>

Thank you for listening, <name>. I have forgotten much over my life, but not this.

I hope Hraxian's story gives the obsidian flight hope after the discoveries we made here.

Notes[]

On accept:

Veritistrasz says: What Sytorian did... not all the obsidian flight were depraved, there was good in them too. I will tell you of a hero who defended the weak and saved many.
Voraxian says: Tellywin, could you write this down? I want my flight to hear of this as well.
Tellywin Sharpfizzle says: Of course.
Veritistrasz says: This is a tale set in the final battle with the djaradin elders, where Neltharion banished them.
Veritistrasz says: This is the tale of Hraxian, and how he died.

Speak with Veritistrasz:

  • Gossip (Optional) Tell us of Hraxian.
Veritistrasz says: He always put up with the antics of the young with a smile and a wink and he was loved for it.
Veritistrasz says: Hraxian was one of the oldest black dragons. It was said only the Earth-Warder surpassed him in strength among his flight. But for all that, he was a gentle soul.
Veritistrasz says: He would sneak whelps treats when others were not looking, and he would lift the mood of any he spoke to.
  • Gossip (Quest) What happened in the battle?
Veritistrasz says: The draconic army faced off in a final stand against the djaradin elders. The army needed to buy Neltharion time to enact his plan.
Veritistrasz says: The battle went... poorly. The djaradin elders' mastery over earth and fire was catastrophic; they laid waste to the draconic forces.
Veritistrasz says: One of our flanks crumpled under a devastating attack. As the djaradin closed on our medical wing, Hraxian flew to help.
Veritistrasz says: As he landed, he looked towards the wounded and the noncombatants.
Veritistrasz says: He looked towards me.
  • Gossip I may return later. I have other business first. (completes the quest)

Speak with Veritistrasz again:

  • Gossip (Optional) You were there?
Veritistrasz says: I was a young dragon assigned to healing duties. Hraxian was my idol growing up. Heh, I was one of the whelps he used to sneak treats to.
Veritistrasz says: You know, I do not remember what the treats were anymore. It was such a long time ago. I have a vague memory of lemon... and tart hochenblume?
Chef Butterfingers says: After this, let's talk. See if we can recreate it.
Veritistrasz says: I would very much like that.
  • Gossip (Quest) What did Hraxian do?
Veritistrasz says: The djaradin have a need to prove themselves the strongest - a weakness Hraxian exploited.
Veritistrasz says: Hraxian roared a challenge of single combat to the djaradin: a challenge they readily accepted.
Veritistrasz says: Hraxian slew his opponent with one swipe of his claw and bellowed the next challenge.
Veritistrasz says: One by one the djaradin faced Hraxian, and one by one they fell.

Continue the story:

  • Gossip (Optional) How did the djaradin react?
Veritistrasz says: As the first djaradin strode towards him, I could feel the djaradin armies roar deep in my chest.
Veritistrasz says: I could feel their hate, their lust for his blood, their yearning for his skull.
Rupert, the Gentleman Elemental says: They sound like absolute louts, no different from the oafish djaradin of our time.
Veritistrasz says: You are not wrong. Though they started confident, as each champion facing Hraxian fell, the cheers of the djaradin died a little until they began facing him in silence.
  • Gossip (Quest) What did you do?
Veritistrasz says: Nothing, I could only watch. Breaking single combat was not an option. Many of us tried to heal him, but he warned us back every time.
Veritistrasz says: Hraxian fought for what felt like hours, though... it cannot possibly have been that long.
Veritistrasz says: Scores of djaradin weapons had left their mark; his blood and scales littered the ground.
Veritistrasz says: Even so, he made them pay for it. Each challenger had to clamber over their dead to meet Hraxian.
Gossip (Quest) How did he die?
Veritistrasz says: It was not a djaradin who killed him - not an individual one at least.
Veritistrasz says: After his final battle, he stood silent. The djaradin waited for his next challenge, but it never came.
Veritistrasz says: Hraxian died on his feet, with his eyes open, staring them down.
Veritistrasz says: Each battle had drained his blood and his life until there was none left.
Gossip (Quest) What happened after he died?
Veritistrasz says: As the djaradin waited for the next challenge, Neltharion banished the elders, and the djaradin fled.
Veritistrasz says: However, a few djaradin advanced. They collected the weapons of the fallen and planted them in the ground around Hraxian.
Veritistrasz says: Then they left, leaving his body untouched. It is the only time I have seen djaradin behave in such a way to a dragon.
Gossip (Quest) Thank you for the tale, Veritistrasz.
Earthmender Narvra says: Why is it we always lose the best of us...
Veritistrasz says: I know how you feel. We hold onto the dark memories, where we remember those we loved and lament we could do nothing to prevent them leaving us.
Veritistrasz says: We miss them. We miss their laughter, their smile, their quirks. We focus on our loss, and the fact they are no longer with us.
Veritistrasz says: I have lost so many. But thanks to <name>, I am trying to change how I think.
Veritistrasz says: Instead of lamenting that loss, I try to be glad I had those memories in the first place.
Veritistrasz says: Trying to break my old patterns is a battle every day. I do not always succeed. Since meeting <name>, Voraxian, and all of you though? I am finding it easier.
