| − | The '''Netherwing Dragonflight''' is an unusual brood of translucent [[dragon]]s whose bodies are composed of energies from the [[Twisting Nether]], was spawned from the eggs of [[Deathwing|Deathwing's]] [[black dragonflight]], and were infused with raw nether-energies when [[Draenor]] was torn apart. Without Deathwing's guidance, they now seek to find their identity beyond the shadows of their father's destructive heritage. |

||
| − | ==Culture== |
||
| − | [[Nether dragon]]s vary from being highly friendly to mortal races to downright hostile towards all beings. Many inherited the temper of their sire, the dark [[Dragon Aspect|Aspect]] Deathwing. Many others, specifically those in the twisted lands of the [[Netherstorm]], have fallen prey to a mysterious corruption. The nether dragons often see themselves as orphans, abandoned on [[Draenor]] as it began to shatter, uncared for and unwanted by their father. |
||
| + | Sabellian has admitted that he counts [[Rexxar]] as one of his friends, though he has not revealed to Rexxar that he is a black dragon. |
||
| − | They are fully sentient intelligent beings and speak Draconic like normal dragons. They also share the ability to learn magic and take humanoid forms. When disguised as humanoid creatures, the Nether dragons prefer to take the form of goblins and elves. |
||
| + | He also communicates regularly with [[Samia Inkling]] through [[Baron Sablemane's Blackwhelp]]. |

| − | ==History== |
||
| + | In ''World of Warcraft'', Sabellian wears the guise of '''Baron Sablemane'''.

He assists adventurers in killing two of Gruul's sons: {{NPC||Gorgrom the Dragon-Eater}} and [[Goc]], reverting to his true [[dragon]] form and personally fighting the latter. |
||
| − | Near the end of the Second War, the black dragon Deathwing traveled through the Dark Portal to Draenor. Believing the world to be a relatively safe haven for his offspring, he secreted away a cache of black dragon eggs before having to suddenly retreat back to Azeroth. Following the war, Ner’zhul recklessly opened multiple portals on Draenor, and the magical stress tore the planet apart. The energies released in this catastrophe altered Deathwing’s eggs, resulting in the nether dragons: partially corporeal and partially ethereal dragons who possess the ability to shift between the astral and physical planes. Without Deathwing’s guidance, these otherworldly nether dragons are just now finding their own way among the blasted ruins of Outland. |

Their son [[Mordenai]] wanders the [[Netherwing Fields]] seeking adventurers to help free his mother and eventually help the Netherwing escape enslavement. |

| Title | <Baron Sablemane> |
| Race | Black wyrm (Dragonkin) |
| Level | 72 Elite |
| Affiliation(s) | Black dragonflight |

Sabellian is a black dragon, son of the black Dragon Aspect, Deathwing.[1] He was described as his lieutenant in all things prior to the black Aspect's abandonment of Draenor.[2] During the black dragonflight's alliance with Ner'zhul's Horde, Sabellian and his brethren transported the orc chieftans Fenris Wolfbrother, Tagar Spinebreaker, and a small party of orcs to Menethil Harbor, on their way to retrieve the Jeweled Scepter of Sargeras. Once the artifacts were secured he followed Deathwing to the orc's homeworld of Draenor.
Once on Draenor, the black dragons settled into the Blade's Edge Mountains. They were not there long before they were attacked by Gruul, his offspring, and a small group of Alliance Expedition fighters. The eggs were destroyed and Deathwing was forced to flee from battle, followed immediately by Sabellian.
Deathwing managed to return to Azeroth, but Sabellian remained behind on Draenor — now Outland. He is a fierce enemy of Gruul the Dragonkiller and Gruul's seven sons, and hates them deeply for killing Sabellian's own people and children.
Sabellian has admitted that he counts Rexxar as one of his friends, though he has not revealed to Rexxar that he is a black dragon.
He also communicates regularly with Samia Inkling through Baron Sablemane's Blackwhelp.
