Sapphiron - "Slain by the Lich King" - Killed and immediately raised by Arthas (~technically pre-LK~). Better known for chillin' with Kel'Thuzad and eventually being put to rest by adventurers. Sort of twice. Sort of three times.

Arcanagos - "Slain by Medivh" - Really more like slain by Medivh*. Put to rest by adventurers. Twice.

Balacgos - "Slain by own creation" - He done goofed. The Bane goes on to play a role in other important events

Arygos - "Slain by Infinite Dragonflight" - Betrayed might be more accurate, but it's splitting hairs. Involved/shown in Tarecgosa's chain

Saragosa - "Slain by unknown adventurer" - Not a mystery at all. Not sure why they felt the need to include 'unknown' here.

Eldragosa - "Unknown" - We know she's dead because we talk to her ghost

Umbrelskul - "Unknown" - Should really be 'slain by adventurers' (little surprised they didn't have this one be updated)

Sindragosa- "Neltharion's Betrayal" - More well known for her being raised by Arthas and eventually put to rest by adventurers (and haunting all our loading screens)

Malygos - "Slain by Adventurers" - Dies during his own raid/encounter

Madrigosa - "Slain by Brutallus" - Death witnessed by adventurers, then put to rest.

Kaldrigos - "Slain by Dwarves" - Referenced via archeology and a 'Legiondary'

Tarecgosa - "Self Sacrifice" - Dies during this quest/her chain.

(seems like kind of a lot of mention/foreshadowing of disease, but I might be grasping at straws)

This quest is where it hits home exactly how much the Blue Dragonflight has suffered over the millennia....

Not just from Neltharion's betrayal but all the wars since and certainly the events of WoW. Many of the names on those gravestones WE helped put there or at least had a hand in ;_;

Description

We will be joined shortly by Kalecgos and Alexstrasza. Before then, I have a request. There was a tradition to have gravestones set before your death. It allowed you to choose where you would rest when you passed. It was the job of the caretakers to update the gravestones and deposit the lingering essence of arcana at the site. Before our guests join us, would you help me in this task? Take this list, and these graves. Update the existing graves and place the new ones.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Rolling OutLevel 36-80

    I remember having so much fun rolling these creatures up with my spells. Unfortunately, I fear these old bones will not let me move as quickly as I once did. I would love for you to give it a shot. Let me live vicariously through you! The more creatures you roll up, the bigger the ball becomes.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Sindragosa and Malygos's RestLevel 36-80

    The preparations are now complete. Kalecgos and Alexstrasza should be here soon with the remaining essences of Sindragosa and Malygos. Both suffered such violent ends. I heard even with his last breath, Malygos cursed Alexstrasza. And Sindragosa--she was slain ten thousand years ago by Nelthar...
