The twilight dragonflight is a dragonflight created by the results of magical experiments carried out by Lady Sinestra upon dragon eggs. Using ancient dragon artifacts and the powers of the nether dragons, Sinestra has created a new breed of dragons that feed vampirically on all forms of mystical energy. The first encounter of these dragons with the outside world was by Krasus, Kalec, and the draenei priestess Iridi. Iridi thought of their appearence not as shadow, but more akin to the day turning to night, like twilight as experienced on Azeroth. She thus dubbed them twilight dragons.
Night of the Dragon
The twilight dragonflight was first created by Sinestra, aka Sintharia, prime-consort of Deathwing the Destroyer. Eager to succeed where her hated mate had failed and create a new breed of dragon that would rule the world, Sinestra used a nether dragon named Zzeraku, which she captured with a Chysalun Chamber, together with two draconic artifacts, to alter several dragon eggs from various Dragonflights. The artifacts were an ancient blue dragon relic known as Balacgos's Bane, and the infamous Demon Soul. Thought destroyed by the human mage Rhonin, Sinestra gathered several fragments of the Demon Soul and used the power within them to carry out her designs.
Sinestra's earliest creations proved unstable, and were destroyed by Krasus and Kalec. However, they still displayed considerable power, having the ability to vampirically drain magical energy from any source. Sinestra's subsequent creation, Dargonax, proved even more powerful and far more cunning. Dargonax proved too ambitious and strong for Sinestra to completely control, even with fragments of the Demon Soul in her possession. Only the sacrifice of the nether dragon Zzeraku enabled Dargonax to be defeated, and in his death throes he destroyed Sinestra as well.
Although Sinestra and her creations were all slain, several of her unhatched twilight dragon eggs were taken from her lair in Grim Batol by Deathwing himself. Hiding in tunnels deep beneath Grim Batol, caverns older than any the dwarves had ever constructed, Deathwing safely stored the twilight dragon eggs and began his plans to perfect the new dragonflight, intending to erase the failures of his family and use the newest breed of dragon for his own designs.
Description
Twilight dragons resemble black dragons, but they glow with a greenish, red, or amethyst light. The earliest twilight dragons created by Sinestra had the ability to feed off of magical energy, particularly enemy dragons. The later dragons, those raised by Deathwing, may have similar abilities.
