TheWoWDBI'll fully admit we rogues get a bad rep.
Those shiny spellcasters - the druids, the priests, mages, warlocks - they helped extinguish Ragnaros' rain of terror, their names declared by the Blue Dragonflight above Stormwind and Orgrimmar, bearers of Tarecgosa's legacy.
The heroes who helped Wrathion in Pandaria, slaying Sha upon Sha and putting an end to the last gasp of one of the Old Ones, immortalized upon the arches of Mogu'shan Palace, long after its plundering and the breaking of the great siege.
The doughty plate-clad fighters, wielders of power of holy, unholy, and sheer brawn, bore Shadowmourne from its origin of Arthas' long-abandoned weapon, became glorified and exalted amongst both Alliance and Horde.
Those are the guys you remember, with their legacies of fame and fortune. We don't have such a flashy proof - no azure whelps following us around, no brilliant wings of multicoloured light, no screaming of souls or thunderous judgment of the storm - but we did our jobs anyway. Quietly. Over time, again and again, a well-positioned blade in the dark where one was needed, just so.
Even dragons die, after all.

Unlike some other legendary pairs *the warglaives* *cough*, these two come together. What is more aggravating than killing Illidan 30 times only to get the left one twice. What a bummer.
At least blizz solved that problem with the quest, which gives both, how convenient.
This quest is given to you by Wrathion, aka. The Black Prince -- the heir to the throne, so to speak.

Description
Your next target has claimed the lives of all of my other assassins. I need you to kill my father himself. You must destroy Deathwing. We are out of time. His madness has already corrupted all the others of my kind, and his darkness will consume the world if he is not stopped. If you by some miracle succeed, and can retrieve for me a piece of him - perhaps a fragment of the armor he uses to disguise his true chaotic nature - the reward I give you will be without equal.

- Fear Itself
I've picked up a few motes of pandaren wisdom during my time here. I particularly enjoy this one: "The timid feel fear before trouble starts; the cowards feel fear as trouble happens. The bravest among us feel fear only after the troubles have been taken care of." Is that true? Let's find out.
