'''Krasus''' sits atop [[Wyrmrest Temple]] with his queen, [[Alexstrasza]]. Krasus is the name the red dragon [[Korialstrasz]] uses when in his high elven guise.
 
 
In the Dalaran fountain, [[Krasus' Copper Coin]] wishes ''"My prayers go out to my brothers and sisters who still suffer in [[Grim Batol]]. I WILL free them."
 
 
==Legend==
 
It is believed that Krasus may be named after [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcus_Licinius_Crassus Marcus Licinius Crassus], a Roman general and politician who is best known for suppressing the slave revolt led by Spartacus in 73 B.C. He was also the Consul of the Roman Republic.
 
 
Another possible origin to the name is that of [http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Karsus Lord Karsus] from the Forgotten Realms setting of the Dungeons and Dragons Roleplaying Game, where Karsus was a powerful Archmage in the Empire of Netheril, who was best known for the creation of the spell "Karsus's Avatar", which upon being cast, successfully stole the power of Mystryl, The Goddess of Magic. However, his inexperience in controlling the Weave, the source of all magic, made all magic surge and fluctuate wildly, leading to the event called Karsus's Folly, which ended with Mystryl sacrificing herself to block Karsus's access to the Weave in order to restore it, making all magic fail briefly, killing Karsus and turning him into stone as he saw the destruction of Netheril, it's magical flying cities collapsing to the ground.
 
 
==Quests==
 
He is involved in the following quests:
 
*{{questfinish}}{{Questlong|Neutral|75|The Fate of the Ruby Dragonshrine}}
 
*{{queststartfinish}}{{questlong|Neutral|80R|Judgment at the Eye of Eternity}}
 
*{{queststartfinish}}{{questlong|Neutral|80R|Heroic Judgment at the Eye of Eternity}}
 
 
==Trivia==
 
Before [[3.1.0]], Krasus (Korialstrasz) had a meager 13,000 health in his dragon form. This paled in comparison to the whopping 139 million Alexstrasza has and the fact that he is a ?? elite boss. <br>
 
The only place where you can fly in Dalaran is called Krasus' landing.
