Hello everyone! The Djarradin, although looking
a lot like the vrykul, are a new race added to Warcraft with Dragonflight. During our
adventures we learn that they love a good challenge and there’s no better fight to be found
for them then that with Dragons making them a big problem for our allies since with the awaking of
the dragon isles, so too did the djaradin rise. Behind the obsidian sanctum we find Tarjin the
Blind who’s willing to share the tales of the mighty djaradin, masters of magma, slayers of
dragons, conquerors of this land... but not for free. We’ll have to prove ourselves worthy
of his time each week by slaying dragons, but don’t worry. If we don’t have the
stomach to fight our precious dragonflight, we may seek out the proto-dragons and
bring their skulls in turn... So sit back, relax, and listen to the tales of the
djaradin as told by Tarjin the Blind... Gossip How did you lose your eyesight? I lost my eyesight as any djaradin would
wish to... in battle with a massive dragon! I hid on a mountaintop for three weeks without
moving, waiting for the perfect moment to strike! Finally, I stuck, jumping on the back of a
powerful dragon named Fenistrasza flying by. We wrestled as we plummeted
through the sky, hundreds of feet, until we slammed into the heart of a volcano!
Fenistrasza had gouged out my eyes with her talons during the fall, but I had only begun to fight!
I ripped the lava and earth swirling around us upward, wrapping around the dragon's entire body.
Sightless, but filled with fury, I forced the dragon downward into the volcano's throat, burning
it alive as we were both enveloped in lava. I held Fenistrasza in that volcano for
three days straight, until I emerged with nothing but her skull.
Lava still pours out of her skull's eye sockets to this day.
Do you doubt me? It rests there on the shelf beside me. See for yourself
what happens to those who oppose a djaradin And from the naming scheme we can
figure out that Fenistrasza similar to alexstrasza would be a female red dragon. And why should I be with the other djaradin?
Do not presume to know of our ways, outsider. After I was blinded in battle
with Fenistrasza, I was no longer welcome on the Qalashi dragonhunting parties.
And they were right. I could not keep up with the other dragonhunters. I was a liability.
So I passed my days in camp, as a laborer. But my strength never waned! I continued
down a different path to glory. I mastered control of earth and fire, bending
magma and stubborn fire elementals to my will. While slumbering deep in the
ground with the other djaradin, my command over earth only grew stronger!
When the djaradin awoke, I had no interest in returning to manual labor in our camp.
Here, I can focus on strengthening my command over earth and fire, without distraction.
Usually. Now leave me alone. I still wonder where the line is drawn between
those that fell asleep when the dragon isles were locked away and thosethat kept on going. Like from
the centaur stories we learned that the centaur kept operating. The dragonkin, the dragonspawn
also kept the island turning, the cities upheld and lal that good stuff yet the djaradin
and apperantly some of the titan creatures they went to sleep so i wodner where that
diffence lies and why exactly they awoke. I imagine it has something to do with
their connection to the elements, but who knows. Maybe something
well explore in the future. Gossip Tale of the Outsider Long ago, far before my time,
legends tell of an outsider ship landing on the shores of the Dragon Isles.
A warband of half-giants, led by their king, carved their way through the land.
The djaradin had not yet united under the Qalashi banner, and several
tribes fell to the fearsome half-giants. But, like all who face djaradin on
the battlefield, they eventually fell. In the end, their king stood
alone in the battlefield against armies from all of the djaradin tribes.
A whirlwind of violence and stubborness, he refused to fall. For eight days and nights,
he fought without rest and without fail. He had earned his place among the djaradin,
and joined the Qalashi tribe as a dragonhunter! He fought alongside the Qalashi for
years, slaying countless dragons as he proved his worth a hundredfold.
Until the day he finally fell in battle with a powerful dragon a hundred times his size.
He arrived an outsider, but he died a djaradin. Gossip Tale of the Elders Outsiders have often asked where the
djaradin learned to command earth and fire. Ignorant fools. The djaradin command the earth
and fire, because we ARE the earth and fire! It is said that the djaradin were the first
earth giants to walk the surface of Azeroth. Shaping earth and mountains, they
formed this land with their fists. According to legend, four elders of
those ancient djaradin joined their powers together to burrow deep inside the earth.
The legends do not agree what happened down there, but they all end the same way.
The elders emerged, touched by the fires of the world to be true djaradin,
commanding full control over fire and earth! In turn, the elders empowered all djaradin
into the mighty giants you see today! HEre we are told about 4 of them, 4 elders
that went very deep below. Unknown what happened to them in a world infested by the
old gods. Unknown waht happened to them in a world where the elements were just locked away
within their elemental planes. All the same, they emerged with fire. Fire in their
veins and the djaradin were born. Curious if we’ll ever see the full details as
to what happened ot them down below. Gossip Tale of the Warlord It is said that the ancient djaradin
tribes were disorganized. Rival warlords battling each other for supremacy.
Until one warlord, of the Qalashi tribe, saw a more worthy path for her people.
She ordered her tribe to leave the djaradin battlefields, and focus their skills only
on hunting the powerful dragons nearby. The other tribes preyed on the weak around
them: the tuskarr, gnolls, underdwellers. And in time, they grew weak as well.
But the Qalashi grew strong from fighting only the most worthy foes in the Isles.
In time, the warlord easily conquered the lazy tribes, uniting their
strongest under the Qalashi banner. Focused and forged in battle, the
newly emboldened Qalashi led a legendary rampage against the dragons!
Never before or since have the djaradin slaughtered so many dragons in a single day.
Some djaradin have forgotten the warlord's timeless truth: What you fight, you become.
This is why true Qalashi seek out strong opponents. And why weaklings such
as you are not worth fighting. Were familiar wit hthe tuskar ofcourse and
we’re familiar with the gnolls. Underdwellers seemingly new name, there has been a rather
interestingt vcreature datamined and we could look at some of the books that were dropped
in the ulkdaman revamped dungeon. Apperantly there has been some sort of earthen evolutin tat
we havent come across but it is similar to the earthen evolution that we’ve seen before.
Interesting. Again with the elders going underneath the earth and now underdwellers
aswell...some hints are being dropped here. Gossip Tale of the Slumbering Are you sure you wish to hear this
tale? It may make you rethink your friendship with the dragons...
It is said that the four djaradin elders' mastery over earth and fire caught
the dragons off-guard in those first battles. Dragon after dragon fell, until Neltharion
emerged from the Obsidian Citadel with his armies to halt their advance.
The elders were hopelessly outnumbered, but the dragons were hopelessly outmatched.
As the elders battled all challengers with honor, the so-called "Earth-Warder"
revealed his cowardice. Through honorless guile and
trickery, the elders fell that day. But not before they had secured permanent
footholds for the djaradin in the surface of these lands. Footholds we still hold to this day!
Some say that the elders did not die that day, but retreated deep into the earth, where
they slumber and recover their strength. I do not know if I believe that, but I hope it's
true. You and your dragon friends would be doomed. Neltharions trickery and guile, do they
mean the creation of the dracthyr? do they mean his allegiance to the old gods?
Is defeating razageth not the first time he embraced the powers of the ovid? What
exactly did neltharion do to secure victory against the djaradin? In turen the elders,
these epic giants, those that found their fire connection deep beneath the earth.
Rumor has it that they’re still alive. Say that we do go underground, would
make for one heck of an encounter. Gossip The Magma Pact Even the legendary Qalashi warlord
who united the tribes never matched the raw power of the four elders.
As the years passed, again and again the warlord lost ground to the dragons.
Our people pushed farther back into their mountain footholds, practically underground!
It is said that after her defeat at Scalebreaker Keep, she withdrew deep into the earth to
ask the elders to lend her their strength. But upon her journey, a massive being
of elemental magic approached her. An Incarnate of the earth itself.
This Incarnate, Iridikron, asked the warlord what she would be willing
to do to end the reign of the Aspects. The warlord answered as any djaradin
would: We would do anything. Iridikron offered not power, but allies. An alliance of the Primalists
and djaradin against the dragonflights. The warlord agreed. Some djaradin
objected, but most saw the truth. In this would, only the strong
survive. And the djaradin must survive. And I say, if there are to be dragons flying
overhead, let it be the ones infused with the same earth and fire that burns within us.
Then, after the dragonflights are no more, these 'allies' will merely be the
last foes left for us to hunt. An allegiance that we could also see in
the vaulkt of the incarnates where the djaradin showed up to fight with the primalists, yet at the same time they do make mention
like dont trust these dragon worshippers... Ingame dialogue... Iridicron has been sset free from its
prison now at the defeat of razageth herself. ALex and the others are quite
worried about the hunger of irikron, khadgar also asks why does
iridikron vex you so much? Ingame dialogue.... This could be most definatly be one of
those deals, get the djaradin on their side increase their army and forces.
WIth iridikron on the warpath now, somewhere deep beneath the earth. One can
only wonder what kind of allies and what kind of armies tnheyre going to unleash
and what the story is going to bring. ANd then the final one... Gossip Tale of the Weakling Now this is my favorite
tale that the djaradin tell. Long ago, there was a weak
<player character's race> who believed themselves equal
with a powerful djaradin. The weakling asked many questions and
didn't always listen to the answers. The powerful djaradin commanded the
elements of the earth to consume the weakling and bury them deep in the ground.
The weakling begged for their life, promising to tell the many stories of the great and powerful
djaradin they had heard to all who would listen. The powerful djaradin spared the
weakling's life, and the weakling spent the rest of their days telling everyone
of the mighty djaradin of the Dragons Isles! And I can assure you that
this one is a very true story. So go out there weaklings and share the tales
of the djaradin. Its interesting to seee that theyre dropping some hints on what the future
story is going to bring. Some fair few signs pointing towards down below the earth. IRidikron
hiding themselves down there, here we have the djaradin and the elder s down below. Also had
a couple of people tweet me hatches they found across the dragon isles wondering what that is
all about. Also some weird runestones found across the isles... For now youre up to speed on
the tales shared about the djaradin. Again, similar to how they did all sides of the stories,
i like that theyve done more details. I like how this is a way of unlocking more hsitory
behind the dragon isles. It isnt hiding away the majorstoryline and yet for those itnerested it
adds more flavor. It adds more insight. WOnderful way that this was done.Right everyone, thank
you very much for watching. Subscribe if you like my videos, leave a like if you enjoyed
this one aaand until next time...see ya!
