I – I am badly injured …
> You will be ok, Awbee. Your assailants have been terminated.
Liste, Listen well …
The dragon riders came in the night, mounted atop the black flight. They struck fast and with deadly precision, taking young whelps – such as me – and escaping under the veil of darkness.
I watched in horror as they used my brothers and sisters in their experiments. From our essence would be created the chromatic flight.
Nefarian had ordered that unsuitable subjects be destroyed immediately, but these retched beasts would not do so without first inflicting an ample amount of torture.
When we were thoroughly broken, they would round up what remained and throw us to these thugs. Our bodies used as instruments in their sick game: thrown into the lava or worse; to the open and waiting arms of the bloodhirsty legion below.
You came along just as they were about to throw me to the fiends below – for that, I thank you. Perhaps, I rather – we, of the blue flight, can assist you further?
You have come this far, risked much. Will you go a ways further to battle Nefarian and his legion of Blackrock?
> Absolutely
Travel to Kalimdor. Our flight makes its home in the frigid landscape of Winterspring. Once you reach Winterspring, find the caves of Mazthoril.
Upon the icy floors of Mazthoril you will find cobalt runes. Hold one of my scales and stand upon a rune and you shall be transported to Haleh, our matron protectorate.
Give her the scale so that she may scry what it is I have seen and felt, here in this doomed place.
Haleh the Matron Protectorate says
We understand what the cursed brood of Deathwing attempts to do and we know that it cannot be allowed.
Because of the protection Blackrock Mountain affords Nefarian, it has become increasingly difficult for us to intercede. We can, however, empower you, mortal – should you so choose. The path before you is one full of peril. You must decide whether to accept our help. Ponder this and speak with me again when a decision has been made.
It is the arcane that I control and the arcane which will send you to your next destination. When you are ready, the journey will begin. To the Plaguelands you will go and to Jeziba you will speak. He is a mortal as wise as the ancients and as patient as the immovable earth. Find him in Andorhal.
Jeziba the Sculptor
A finer instrument of justice, Haleh could not have chosen. Read from the catalogue of the wayward and be enlightened. Should you persist… should you do what is asked of you… should you survive… a hero you will make.
To forge the Legplates of the Chromatic Defier, you will be required to bring the following items to Jeziba the ‘Sculptor’:
1 Chromatic Carapace.
10 Brilliant Chromatic Scales.
10 Blood of Heroes.
5 Skin of Shadow
The carapace of a mature chromatic drake is needed to form the foundation of the leggings. Brilliant chromatic scales are then layered upon the wire frame and enchanted in the blood of heroes. Finally, the supple skin of shadow must be applied to the inner greaves.
To forge the Breastplate of the Chromatic Flight, you will be required to bring the following items to Jeziba the ‘Sculptor’:
1 Chromatic Carapace.
10 Brilliant Chromatic Scales.
10 Blood of Heroes.
10 Frayed Abomination Stitchings
The forging of a powerful breastplate to protect against the unrelenting attacks of the chromatic flight is one built upon irony.
The scales of the very beasts we battle must be sewn to the pristine carapace of an elder chromatic drake or dragon. None are known to exist at this time and we should hope that none will ever exist.
Lastly, perhaps the most difficult of all components: the blood of heroes.
The Sculptor must ultimately forge this creation.
