In the upcoming WoW expansion Dragonflight, you will meet an old acquaintance – one you saved ages ago.
All the great heroes will soon find themselves on the Dragon Islands of World of Warcraft, but a whole range of smaller and less well-known personalities are also drawn to this place. You will not only meet new acquaintances, but also many old characters that you may have last seen almost two decades ago. Also included is Naralex, one of World of Warcraft’s biggest sleepyheads.
Who is Naralex? Especially Horde players who have been around since “Vanilla” should still be able to do something with this name. In case you don’t remember, here are two little hints: The Barrens, the Wailing Caverns.
Back then, Naralex was a night elf druid who, along with some students, wanted to explore the Wailing Caverns and the strange natural phenomena there. However, his students became the infamous “Druids of the Claw” that you had to fight in the dungeon because they were corrupted by the nightmare.
Naralex himself could be found in the final area of the dungeon sleeping on a rock, still trapped in the nightmare world. In the last fight, you had to protect your body against approaching enemies.
Ultimately, Naralex was rescued by the heroes and later appeared in Cataclysm. Because of Deathwing’s devastation of the world, there were strange overgrowths in parts of the wasteland that had to be contained.
Where to find Naralex in Dragonflight? To the delight of all druids, Naralex has apparently not gone back to sleep in the meantime. You can find him in the “Academy of Algeth’ar” – this is one of the new dungeons of Dragonflight and a place where dragons increase their knowledge and pass it on to others. Although it is a dungeon, there are not only enemies, but also many friendly NPCs – including Naralex.
You can find the night elf druid with the green dragon lady Ochresera, who has the title “Teacher of Oneiromancy” – that is the lore of Dream Interpretation. So it seems like Naralex hasn’t quite overcome his experiences in the nightmare and is still trying to see what he was actually shown there. Possibly an indication that we are coming into contact again with the nightmare and the Old Gods – after all, they created the nightmare.
Basically there is a reunion with many old acquaintances in Dragonflight. So you can also meet a certain writer who is writing some salacious novels again…
