Hey, so you know how all our characters are dragon riders?
I’m trying to understand how this could work lore-wise for my character and guild of mostly amoral and sometimes immoral chemists.
Which flights would be the most understanding of the dead of Lordaeron?
The black flight?
I mean, there’s a history there of experimentation and immoral actions, so maybe them?
My first thought was the Blacks, but since Sabellion and Wrathion seem intent on rebuilding the flight and bringing it back to it’s orignal purpose, that is as defenders of Azeroth, I’d go with the Reds.
They would definitely feel sorry for the forsaken at the minimum
Blacks and Reds if your forsaken is the type that self-petty themselves or want to redeem themselves after all the plague throwing and destroying the landscape fun time they have had since cataclysm.
But maybe the blue flight if they don’t care all about the feelings and more interested in magic, experimentation and science.
Or the browns who have a more of apathetic attitude to everything and everyone. Like time is a river and whatever plague throwing you did was preordained.
Greens though would probably be haaaaaard no.
Probably none of them. So just go to the remnants of the Scourge and make your own Dragonflight!
I guess Sindragosa’s simulacrum would feel a kinship considering she too was raised unto undeath.
Personally I’m not too worried about the dragons.
ICly Ben is there professionally as a RAS attaché to the Reliquary and personally to be a bit of a cultural ambassador. He uses a Highland Drake as despite his methods Ben does have a code of honor and while not an arcane magician he’s happy to discuss alchemy, faith magic and necromancy.
My Rogue on the otherhand is a Deathstalker sent to observe, and at her discretion, frustrate or sabotage any Alliance efforts to secure an advantage. She uses a green velicodrake. Unsure if those creatures are intelligent enough to have knowledge of or opinion on their flight’s charge, but just to be safe she m̶a̶d̶e̶ found a blind one. She’s used to flying bats anyway so the creatures lack of sight isn’t an issue.
I don’t think that any of the Dragons are truly sympathetic in the way that you’re thinking.
They were assigned mortals as their charge. The current threat though is aimed squarely at THEM. We’d just be the collateral damage.
The Forsaken aren’t actually that bad of a race. They may be undead and all, but at least they are not stuck up, like the Humans and Worgen. Remember that the Forsaken were spurned by the Alliance (in the words of Nathanos blightcaller). I personally would have more sympathy for the Forsaken, than I would for the Humans, Worgen or even the night elves.
I’m seeing a lot of people say reds, but I can’t see them supporting ANYTHING related to undeath. It is literally the antithesis to life.
Meanwhile the blues have a rather nasty history with undeath, especially the Lich King raising Sindragosa and countless others. There was an attempt to raise black dragons too (see Dragonblight Obsidian Sanctum).
Honestly I feel none of the flights would be empathetic to you, but the Forsaken have always been outcasts so that’s nothing knew. If I was role-playing an undead character this expansion, my view would be that you are pawn to the dragons just as the dragons are a pawn to you.
A means to an end relationship.
I maintain that the Forsaken have the smallest body count of any of the playable races.
Inside every breather is a spooky, scary skeleton yearning to not breathe free. They’re liberators.
While Undeath is an affliction, I think that’s what they would see it as, an affliction to be cured.
That doesn’t make their viewpoint right but I think they would seperate between undeath the state of being and life as a concept of individuals with thought and free will, even if their free will is to a degree limited simply by the limits of their bodies.
Honestly after Alex forgave even all the… barbarities… the orcs did to her at Grim Batol and during the wars, I can’t see her as anything other than an ultimate all loving all forgiving type of figure, so long as the individual wants that forgiviness or help.
And I know that sounds quasi-religious, but that’s basically what they set her up as. “You can do literal warcrimes to me and my family and I’ll forgive you.”
If anything she would probably be looking for a cure. Now if the Forsaken would want that cure… that’s another question.
And she may also try to force that cure if Raz is anything to go by.
