Cataclysm is coming up. Lets get to know Deathwing!

So here’s what happened. 

• At the beginning of time there were these Titans, they created Azeroth. 
• They created the Old Gods to watch over everything and start up mortal life.
• Old Gods thought they were hot shit, went batshit crazy, and tried to corrupt everything. 
• Titans came back and kicked their asses.  The Titans then created the Five Dragon Aspects to rule over Azeroth.

Alexstrasza, the Life-Binder.

(The ‘mommy’ dragon.)

Nozdormu, the Timeless One.

(Controls time, pretty important.)

Neltharion, the Earth-Warder

(Deathwing, the biggest, badass one of them all)

Malygos, the Spell-Weaver

(Badass mage dragon.)

Ysera, the Dreamer.

(But she’s not the only one.)

• The Old Gods started whispering to Neltharion telling him of a power he could have.
• They told him to create a Dragon Soul and to convince the other dragons to put their power inside of it.
• Burning Legion was attacking the Night Elf capital, Zin-Azshari.
• Neltharion unleashed the Dragon Soul, killing the burning legion AND a lot of Night Elves.
• Neltharion wanted the other dragons to obey him and his power, but they weren’t gonna take any shit.
• All of the Dragon Aspects and their families attack Neltharion.
• Neltharion paralyzed all of them with the Dragon Soul, wiped out most of Blue Dragonflight.
• Nozdormu, Alexstrasza, Ysera, and Malygos all managed to escape, and went into hiding to protect their dragon flights (Kin).
• Neltharion now known as Deathwing, Dragon Soul now known as Demon Soul.
• Malfurion Stormrage stole the Demon Soul, Illidan Stormrage took it and gave it to Mannoroth.
• Mannoroth used it to open a portal for Sargeras to enter Azeroth. (Very bad!)
• Deathwing tried to get the Demon Soul back, interrupting the portal, and blowing up everything.
• The Dragon Aspects tapped all of their energy into the Demon Soul to seal it, Malfurion hid it.
• 10,000 years later, Deathwing finds the Demon Soul, can’t use it, so manipulates orcs.  Alexstrasza gets held captive by the horde working for Deathwing.
• One of her kin, Korialstrasz and a human mage, Rhonin, try to free Alexstrasza by stealing the Soul.
• Korialstrasz gets the other Dragons to come out of hiding to kill Deathwing, even without their powers.
• Rhonin discovered the weakness of the Demon Soul, and destroys it, freeing Alesxstraza and restoring the powers of the other Dragon Aspects.
• Deathwing managed to escape from the other Dragons, and went into hiding… until the Cataclysm.
