It is not without reason that Nefarian stayed away from the forces of the dragon coalition and hid in Blackstone Mountain with the black dragon army.
Deathwing was besieged by other Aspects in Grim Batol and was seriously injured and missing, but this could not completely quell the anger of the Aspects.
The Black Dragon Legion was still a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh. In order to avoid being purged, Nefarian and Onyxia also chose to hide among mortals, using their mortal identities to hide their true purposes.
The mortal world is too complex and vast, and even the Aspect Dragon cannot check them all, and Nefarian enslaved the Blackstone Orcs under the pseudonym of Victor Nefarios.
Deep in the Burning Plains, which is occupied by multiple evil forces, and rarely appears in person in the mortal world, the true identity of the owner of Blackrock Tower has never been known.
Maybe the Dark Iron Dwarves, the mortal enemies of the Blackstone Orcs, could detect some signs with the help of the fire element, but they couldn't be sure of their guesses.
Others who have the ability to know the existence of Victor Nefarios will only think that he is a powerful being and will not associate it with the black dragon.
Nefarian wisely chose the top floor of Blackrock Tower as his fortress and lair. Here, his experiments would be almost unmolested. In addition, he used magic to hide the Blackwing Lair. To truly discover this To build a lair, you must first get past the Blackstone Orcs.
The Dark Iron Dwarves occupy the area under Blackstone Mountain. They are regarded as free guards by Nefarian. Although the Dark Iron Dwarves do not deal with the Blackstone Orcs, they are violently ruled by Ragnaros. They have no control over all other life. None of them have good intentions.
The cruelty and anger represented by Ragnaros have been completely absorbed into the blood of the Dark Iron dwarves through the contract. Most of the Dark Iron dwarves cannot escape this curse, and only a very small number of people can find freedom from this curse.
The special geographical location of Blackstone Mountain made Nefarian's previous operations go smoothly, and his sister Onyxia also achieved good results in Stormwind City.
Nefarian himself was working on something he had received from his mother, but the methods he chose were completely different from his mother's.
Sinestra, the original wife of Deathwing and the mother of Nefarian and Onyxia, before her death, she developed and fused a new type of extremely unstable dragon - the twilight dragon.
She used ancient dragon artifacts and the power of the void dragon to create this new dragon branch that absorbed all magical energy like a vampire, hoping to use this terrifying dragon army to advance the pace of destroying the world.
However, Sinestra eventually died at the hands of her own creation. Nefarian took over his mother's remaining information and began further research and experiments.
During the experiment, Nefarian carefully classified the advantages and disadvantages of this "twilight dragon" creature, but in the end he had to stop continuing to study the twilight dragon.
Because the biggest problem with these twilight dragons is that they are too unstable. Most of the twilight dragons will die suddenly due to various reasons after hatching from the eggs.
Even the first twilight dragon created by Sinestra, that seemingly perfect twilight dragon, could not be reproduced again.
The appearance of stable twilight dragons is too accidental, and if you want to establish a dragon army, you definitely cannot place your hope on these twilight dragons whose life and death are like throwing dice.
Nefarian then used the information left by Sinestra and his own ideas to start another more evil and terrifying experiment.
The twilight dragon is a creation created by the interaction between the void dragon and the ancient dragon artifact. So, if we use the native dragons of Azeroth, can we create a new dragon type?
After having such a crazy idea, Nefarian tried his best to trap and hunt the remaining five-color dragons. He always picked those dragons that were lonely and rarely communicated with the dragon alliance.
Young dragons are not valuable to the dragon clan, because not every young dragon has the potential to become a giant dragon, so Nefarian obtained a batch of dragon eggs without spending much effort.
Coupled with the red dragon eggs obtained from the Dragonmaw clan during the Orc War, Nefarian's "experimental materials" were finally collected.
The experiment is very simple, that is, mix the life essences of different types of dragons together to see what kind of creatures this will create.
Nefarian's cruel experiments claimed the lives of countless fellow dragons, and they all suffered various horrific tortures before they died, but Nefarian still enjoyed it.
The experimental process went beyond Nefarian's expectations, and soon the first batch of new experimental creatures were born, but the results made Nefarian furious.
Fate seemed to have played a joke on him. The experiment went extremely smoothly, but the result was that most of the dragon eggs either died or hatched a batch of deformed monsters.
They are mixed with the characteristics of various dragons, but the life essence forcibly twisted together by chaotic dark magic has caused the young dragon to undergo irreversible distortion.
Nefarian patiently ordered his men to raise some of the "complete" hatchlings, but then he discovered something even worse.
These deformed dragons do not seem to be fertile. The eggs they lay are almost all dead and cannot hatch out the next generation.
The first experiment was undoubtedly an absolute failure. How could a group of races that could not reproduce become a dragon army that swept the world? You know, the Twilight Dragon was abandoned by Nefarian because of its uncontrollable reproduction. As a result, the new colorful dragons he created were all sterile or deformed monsters?
This was something Nefarian couldn't accept, so he started more crazy and perverted experiments, but the results were still unsightly.
When the dragon corpses in Blackwing Lair were almost piling up, Nefarian temporarily lost his desire to study new types of dragons. He tried to do something else to get rid of this boring status quo.
Those dragon corpses that should have been disposed of as garbage attracted his attention. Nefarian picked out two relatively complete adult dragon corpses and started a new experiment based on them.
Gradually, a two-headed monster made up of the corpses of five-color dragons and the corpses of multi-colored dragons appeared in the Black Wing Lair, and evil magic and alchemy gave life to this monster.
This monster showed a terrible devouring desire and uncontrollability as soon as it was born. It swallowed several draconians and dragon beasts as soon as it gained self-awareness. If Nefarian hadn't suppressed it, it would probably have destroyed the entire black world. The Wing Nest was in turmoil.
Nefarian was very satisfied with the troublesome performance of the Black Dragon Legion when facing it. Such a terrifying biochemical behemoth strangely inherited the power of those dragon corpses and was able to use the abilities of the five-color dragon.
Its natural cruelty and uncontrollability were a big problem, and Nefarian had to keep it in a cage to prevent it from destroying his laboratory.
Nefarian named it "Chromaggus" and it was one of his most satisfying creations.
The birth of Chromaggus gave Nefarian a lot of inspiration. He suddenly figured out the previous problem. After starting a new round of experiments, Nefarian finally created a group of colorful dragons that were slightly more stable. .
He distributed these experimental products to the Blackstone Orcs, intending to let them test the power of the colorful dragons in war and find out the flaws so that the alchemists in Blackwing Lair could improve them.
Therefore, now that Nefarian's experiment is reaching a critical moment, he has no intention of looking for Onyxia. Judging from his status, it is too dangerous to walk in the mortal world now.
The black dragon is now the target of public criticism, and Nefarian is one of the ones with the highest hatred among the dragons. Once he appears in the mortal world, dragons will probably come to trouble him.
Although it seems that there are some internal problems in the dragon army and there is no harmony, that is also the premise that Nefarian stayed in Blackstone Mountain and did not make any obvious movements.
Onyxia's disappearance made Nefarian a little suspicious, but he still planned to complete his experiment first. When the experiment was successful, Onyxia would no longer be important.
The colorful dragons can help him destroy those stupid dragons. With more experimental materials, Nefarian can consider restarting the previously abandoned experimental plan "Twilight Dragon".
What Nefarian is going to do now is to test whether the colorful dragons can perform well in the war.
He set his sights on Stormwind City, a human kingdom that had some strength but was not particularly powerful. Moreover, Stormwind City was far away from the center of human civilization in the north and could not receive rapid support.
Onyxia's infiltration of Stormwind City over the years is impossible to recover in such a short period of time after her disappearance. The Kingdom of Stormwind can be said to be the most "soft persimmon".
Another important reason is that after the death of guardian Medivh, Stormwind City no longer has a strong guardian that makes Nefarian jealous. Such a kingdom can be easily destroyed by the Black Dragon Legion.
The Blackrock Orcs are ready to move. As long as Nefarian gives an order, they will rush out from the fortress under the Blackstone Mountain to spread destruction in the human kingdom.
Originally, this gift was intended for Ragnaros, the arrogant elemental lord, but it seemed to have fallen asleep recently and did not care about the world. Nefarian realized that this was a good opportunity.
But before that, Nefarian called Red Blackhand, the warchief of the Blackstone Clan, and asked him to find a way to deal with a human who was currently imprisoned in the Dark Iron Dwarf Prison.
Reginald Windsor!
…
Not long after returning to Lordaeron, Arthas received a summons from Onyxia before he could rest for a while.
The black dragon, who was hiding behind the scenes in Stormwind City and no longer manipulated the power of the nobles, conveyed some bad news to Arthas.
"You said Nefarian is planning to take action against the Kingdom of Stormwind?" Arthas' first reaction when he heard the news was confusion.
How dare Nefarian launch an attack on an entire human kingdom? Is he worried that the Aspect Dragon and their dragon army can't find him?
"No, it's not Nefarian himself, but the Blackstone Orcs under him - my brother seems to have completed his crazy experiment and is ready to find a victim to try his 'new weapon'."
Onyxia sighed. Her feelings towards those colorful dragons are actually quite complicated. She doesn't have much sympathy for other dragons, but among the raw materials for making colorful dragons, there are also Onyxia's. Heirs.
After the black dragon was affected by Neltharion's madness, he would not value his compatriots like other dragons, but Onyxia had to hand over the dragon eggs she produced to Nefarian, a complete madman. She still had some resistance to the experiment.
It's a pity that his arms can't hold his thighs. Nefarian is stronger than Onyxia, and he is more favored by Deathwing, maybe because they are both crazy.
Onyxia was also at ease with Nefarian's betrayal, "Nefarian used the five-color dragon to create a new kind of dragon. He named it the colorful dragon. Although these deformed monsters have various Although they have shortcomings, it cannot be denied that they are more dangerous than any dragon."
In Onyxia's view, with the current strength of Stormwind City, if the Blackstone Orcs really attack with the colorful dragons, there may be a second great escape, but not necessarily.
Stormwind City, which had just experienced a war with the Burning Legion, was also recuperating. Although Arthas' pre-war deployment prevented Stormwind City from suffering particularly serious losses, they themselves could not compare with Lordaeron.
Varian was a capable king and a powerful warrior, but Onyxia didn't think he could stand up to a dragon, let alone an entire army of dragons.
After hearing Onyxia's words, Arthas not only did not worry about the situation in Stormwind City, but instead asked, "Do you think Nefarian's true purpose is to destroy Stormwind City?"
Onyxia was slightly startled when she heard this. She assumed Nefarian's usual personality and thoughts, and finally came to a conclusion, "If this operation does not satisfy him, or the resistance is too great, he will The troops should be withdrawn.”
Nefarian is a, no, a cautious dragon. He likes to play with his opponents under a careful plan rather than doing things blindly.
It was because Red Blackhand was brainless and easy to manipulate that Nefarian asked him to be his pawn and do things for him that were not convenient for him to do himself.
Such as attacking the Kingdom of Stormwind.
If the Black Dragon Legion appears in the human kingdom, the Aspect Dragon will definitely not sit idly by. After all, there are people in the alliance who have connections with the Aspect Dragon.
But if it was just the orcs and a group of unknown monsters that attacked humans, the guardian dragons would not mind their own business. Most of them are still hiding in the world, licking their wounds and guarding against the return of Deathwing.
