Talk:Dracthyr
Race quote
I think these bigger race / class pages definitely need a quote at the top of the article, they're so nifty! I wanted to see what people thought about this reverted change - I don't agree with Wards' reasoning here. Why does a quote on a race page need to come from a member of the race? It's a drakonid commenting on the similar origins between their two races, and extending to the player Dracthyr an opportunity to claim their place in the world, a part of the Dracthyr race that is integral to their development over Dragonflight. It seems appropriate to me.
As an alternative, I'm sure there's a also good Neltharion quote that could also go at the top here, and he's not a Dracthyr.

- It doesn't necessarily need to be by a dracthyr, but it should at least be about the dracthyr. This is a drakonid commenting on the drakonid, and it feels weird to use it as the quote for the dracthyr. -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 06:40, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- I see how it could be interpreted that way, but is he not addressing the player Dracthyr when saying "We were created?", as in BOTH Drakonid and Dracthyr? In the rest of the quotes from
[62-65] Look, Listen, and Breathe, he is unambiguously addressing the player character. It's a Dracthyr exclusive quest - that's how I found the quote. Chickachoy (talk) 13:35, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- I still think a quote that's unambiguously specifically about the dracthyr would be better. When a character who's not a dracthyr is including himself in the statement, it raises questions like this. To me, that's enough to want to find a different quote rather than quibble over what a definitely-not-a-dracthyr NPC meant by "we." -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 16:16, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- DTZ summarized my reasons for the revert. As for finding a quote, I recommend taking a look at Embertheal who certainly has something cool to say in their quest, given that this character neutrally represents the entire race.

Battle of Traitor's Rest timeline
I am trying to find a source that proves the battle took place during the War of the Ancients. Because otherwise it seems to be very unlikely that dracthyr took place in it, since they only existed for about fifty years before being put into stasis. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nezanotha (talk · contr).
