Veilwing
Veilwings[1][2][3] (also called feathered drakes[4] or feathered dragons[5]) are feathered dragonkin native to Ardenweald. They stand unique among the draconic for their gradient transition of scales into a glorious mane of feathers. The strength and beauty of the veilwing are said to be so celebrated in Ardenweald that those who master the ability of soul shaping commonly choose to emulate their majestic forms.[6]
No creature in Ardenweald is more respected for its fierce defense of its family or territory than the graceful and dangerous veilwings,[1] and they are held in the highest esteem by the Night Fae.[6] They can breathe charged anima at their enemies, either in a cone like how Azerothian dragons breathe fire,[7] or by spitting it out in bolts. The latter allow the night fae to effectively use them as anti-air cannons.[2] Veilwing hearts are sources of great magical power and are especially useful in necromantic rituals.[8]
It is unknown whether veilwings are creations of the First Ones or evolved from spirits sent through the Arbiter's will.[6] One veilwing, the Sylverian Dreamer, came into existence as the result of a Dalaranian artist on Azeroth dreaming of painting a "beautiful feathered dragon".[5]
