||
| − | == History == |
||
| − | Ten thousand years ago, during the reign of [[Queen Azshara]], there was an elite magic-using sect known as the Highborne, who dabbled in magics that many other elves considered heretical by drawing upon the power of the [[Well of Eternity]]. |
||
| + | | levelreq = 37 |
||
| − | Naga are sinister, ophidian humanoids that dwell beneath the ocean. Theirs is an ancient and mystical culture, for ten thousand years ago they were kaldorei: night elves. During the War of the Ancients, a group of kaldorei called the Highborne sought to abuse arcane magic to bring demons to the world. This action led to the War of the Ancients, in which the night elves, at great cost, defeated the Burning Legion. The magical backlash shattered the world, imploded the Well of Eternity, and blasted the Highborne’s capital city to the bottom of the ocean. Many Highborne joined their city on the ocean floor, where they would have drowned — if a curse hadn’t transformed them into the water-breathing naga.{{Cite|MG|105}} |
||
| + | | faction = Horde |
||
| − | When the Well of Eternity imploded at the conclusion of the [[War of the Ancients]], [[Great Sundering|sundering]] the world, the Highborne inhabitants of [[Zin-Azshari]] were trapped in the blast. At the last second, Azshara struck a deal with the [[Old Gods]] for her survival. Azshara and her followers were dragged down beneath the raging sea... but they did not die. Twisted by the Old Gods, invigorated by the Well's energies, they took on new shapes, new powers and became the hateful, serpentine naga. |
||

||
| − | When the naga awakened, they set about building a new life for themselves on the ocean depths, within the abyssal sea trench beneath the swirling waters of the [[Maelstrom]] they built their new city, [[Nazjatar]]. Azshara herself expanded with hate and rage, becoming a massive monstrosity, reflecting the wickedness and malice that had always hidden within her core. |
||
| + | | start = [[Draz'Zilb]] |
||
| − | There in the depths of the ocean for ten thousand years the Naga plotted their revenge against the [[night elves]]. Most naga are still content to wait. However, a small group led by the naga [[Naga Sea Witch|Sea Witch]], [[Lady Vashj]], answered a summons from [[Illidan Stormrage]] to aid him in his quest to destroy the [[Frozen Throne]]. They made new allies in the form of their [[Highborne]] kin the [[blood elves]] as well as enemies of the night elves and the [[Alliance]]. They aided Illidan in the recovery of the [[Eye of Sargeras]], and fought alongside the blood elves to take [[Outland]] as well as at the [[Icecrown Glacier]] against the [[Scourge]]. After suffering defeat at the hands of [[Arthas]] this group retreated back to Outland with Illidan. |

| − | More recently naga have begun to reappear around the coasts of the world, creating settlements on land, most noticeably in the ruins of their old cities in [[Azshara]].

||
| − | Naga only marginally resemble the noble race they once were. Their proud Kaldorei visages are warped and twisted. The naga are part night elf, part serpent, and some have evolved bizarre oceanic mutations. In this way, the race has developed an array of genetic variations and defenses, such as ink jets, tentacles, razor fins, venomous fangs, hardened barnacle carapaces and spined fists. Naga men are bestial and considered less intelligent than females, but are remarkably strong and tough, able to withstand a great deal of bodily injury. Naga women more resemble the Kaldorei from whom they came, their faces fair, even beautiful. This unearthly splendor is ruined by their monstrous deformities — they often have multiple limbs (four to six arms) and medusa-like hair (snakes). Naga average 6 1/2 feet tall, and naga men are much bulkier than women.{{Cite|A&HC|19}} |
||
| − | === Sexual Dimorphism === |
||
| − | Naga males and females have different features; in their transformation, males lost some of their intelligence{{fact}} but increased in size and strength. Their faces now appear almost draconic with little resemblance to their Elven heritage. Females kept more of their Elven features and their intelligence. Naga female faces are fair, even beautiful. Most females have four arms, and the Sea Witches sprout black serpents from their heads. |
||
| + | The Brood of Onyxia is the 3rd quest in the '''The Brood of Onyxia''' quest chain. |
||
| + | == Objectives == |
||
| + | Draz'Zilb in [[Brackenwall Village]] wants you to destroy 5 Eggs of Onyxia. |
||
| − | Naga culture is complex. A clear delineation exists between the sexes. Male naga are larger and more muscular, reminiscent of dragons. Naga men serve as soldiers and guardians. Female naga are more slender, with smaller scales and finer, more human-seeming faces. Naga women are natural spellcasters and rely on magic and poison to defeat their enemies. Naga men are more numerous, but as naga consider their women to be magically and intellectually superior, their society is matriarchal. Women occupy most positions of leadership, and all naga pay homage to their queen, Azshara. The naga capital is Nazjatar, in the Eye beneath the Maelstrom, but they can be found nearly anywhere. Several ranks and types of naga exist. Naga myrmidons and royal guards, for instance, are strong males and powerful melee fighters; naga sirens are female mages.{{Cite|MG|105}} |
||
| + | *[[Egg of Onyxia]] destroyed (5) |
||
| + | == Description == |
||
| − | Naga serve their dark empress Azshara without question. Naga society is matriarchal, and the sexes have diverged radically, both mentally and physically, in the millennia of their estrangement. Women are dominant and often train as spellcasters, while men form the brute labor force and serve their women as physical warriors. |
||
| + | Onyxia's brood has been scattered across the Dragonmurk. It is imperative that no more whelps be permitted to hatch. |
||
| + | Make haste to Wyrmbog in the south of Dustwallow Marsh. Surely, she has made her lair there. Track down the evil dragon's eggs and destroy them. |
||
| − | Naga are avaricious and sadistic, and their millenia of aquatic banishment has only intensified their evil, power-hungry nature. |
||
| − | == Culture == |
||
| − | === Languages === |
||
| − | Naga typically speak their own language, Nazja, and most know Common. For various reasons, individual Naga learn to speak with the creatures with which they interact. Some also learn the language of their heritage, Darnassian{{Cite|MG|106}}{{Cite|A&HC}} (or may even remember it). |
||
| + | We will never reclaim Stonemaul Village if the surrounding area remains a breeding ground. |
||
| + | As for Mok'Morokk... I have other plans for the sod. |
||
| + | ==Completion== |
||
| − | Naga society is female dominated; they are considered the intellectual superiors and possess the greater magical power{{Cite|MG|105}}. Males can rise to prominence and even lead communities, but there is a limit to what they can achieve. In terms of class, this makes them the opposite of the night elves they evolved from, where males typically work magic and females fight (though the kaldorei lack intellect-based prejudice). |
||
| + | Splendid! It will be sometime before Onyxia can produce more eggs. |
||
| + | On behalf of my people, I thank you, <name>. |
||
| − | === Naga relations === |
||
| − | [[Image:Naga Altar of the Depths W3.JPG|thumb|Naga worship the depths]] |
||
| − | Naga are dangerous and avaricious, and most races are unaware of their existence. Naga play well with blood elves, trolls and other dark, independent powers, but |
||
| − | only the rarest naga joins the Alliance or Horde. |
||
| + | I have asked much of you so far. Perhaps you can do the Stonemaul Clan one last service. |
||
| − | The naga traveling with Illidan have a more educated view of Kalimdor’s races than the naga who remain at the bottom of the sea or in one of the eastern outposts. These travelers hold the blood elves in high regard, as they are also evolved children of the Highborne, and they too fought with Illidan. The time spent together in battle made the two races respect and admire each other’s skills. They are united against all others, as they are currently the two most unpopular races on the continent. |
||
| + | Mok'Morokk is not fit to lead us. Tharg would make an excellent leader but is hindered by his injuries and age. Drive Mok'Morokk from this place by force. Only then can we appoint a new leader to return us to our proper home in the south. |
||
| − | The naga can either take or leave the [[goblin]]s and [[troll]]s, creatures who care nothing for their own pasts. The [[half-orcs]], [[furbolgs]] and [[pandaren]] do not trust the naga, and the naga feel the same way in return. They feel that [[divine]] magic practitioners are weak and without ambition. The naga are a neutral race for a very good reason: neither the [[Alliance]] nor the [[Horde]] will welcome them. The Alliance elicits nothing but rage in the minds of the naga. Their former brethren, the [[night elves]], still thrive on the continent, and have not forgotten their grudges with the naga. Their blatant hatred of the night elves is only rivaled by the night elves’ feelings for them. As night elf leaders [[Tyrande Whisperwind]] and [[Malfurion Stormrage]] are highly respected within the Alliance, their hatred and distrust of the naga has spread to the other races. |
||
| + | ==Rewards== |
||
| − | The races of the Horde are met with derisiveness from the naga; they would have no part of the Horde even if invited to join. The spiritual natures of these races are similar to the pandaren and furbolgs, and therefore worthy of similar disrespect. The naga consider the Horde to be nothing more than barbaric, weak-minded fools. They would sooner accept the night elves as masters than join the Horde.{{Cite|A&HC|73}} |
||
| + | {{Lootbox|You will be able to choose one of these rewards: |
||
| − | Even though the blood elves of Quel'Thalas are members of the Horde, there is no sign of diplomacy between the two powers; in addition to naga opinions, the Azerothian blood elves do not unilaterally accept the philosophy that Kael has adopted, and likely wish to avoid association with the naga. The naga seem to be hated by the Horde as they've assaulted their newfound friends, the [[Tuskarr]]. |

||
| + | ==Gains== |
||
| − | The naga have managed to enslave large numbers of [[Mur'gul]]s, a mutated strain of [[murloc]]. This aquatic race fears the Naga's magical abilities. The naga's main rival for dominance of the ocean are [[Sea Giants]]; these creatures hate naga and slay |
