I'm getting more and more excited about this story.
I am here to advocate for Ebyssian to lead the Black Dragonflight.
The fact that Sabellion is basically admitting (again) that others exist to serve him and his family, and people still think he's leadership material, is kind of gross. Blizz needs to step it up, the 'black dragon wants full control' story has needs to stop being drug out like this.
Doesnt... Wrathion see people as fodder as well?
look yeah I like sabellion, but can we really just trust him completely? he has still not told us exactly how he resisted the old gods and the only thing we have to work off off is that there is no old god presence in outland.
Ebyssian, and vanishing to let other people do the work at the important part, name a more iconic duo.
First dracthyr aspect?
@Wolfyspirit1993 (sorry, not quoting that whole thing because between what I replied to, my thing, and your reply to my thing, that was almost 4k characters, and I'd also rather avoid summarizing quotes because that's a bit of a faux pas).Every part of what I've said there has directly happened and he only showed a hint of remorse after betting socked in the still quite punchable face by the kid whose father he got killed. The fact that he regrets some of it doesn't change that WoD and Legion are directly his fault (and BfA and Shadowlands are both, directly, the result of the previous expansion). His plan from the start was not to have the Horde and Alliance set aside their differences to face an oncoming threat. His plan was to force one into a position where it would have to utterly destroy or at the very least consume the other. While both were already exhausted from a logistical standpoint. That's what you do to eliminate an enemy, not to strengthen an ally.Sabellian we genuinely don't KNOW what he was directly involved in, for the most part, until the novelization of Warcraft II's expansion, where Deathwing leaves him in charge of the dragons left to fight for Ner'zhul while Deathwing squirreled off with a certain severed head that is incapable of shutting up.Whether Sabellian cares about us or not also does not change the objective good he has done for his own flight. Beyond our mounts, at least one drake in Dalaran working for the flightmaster, and Ebyssian, Wrathion effectively drove his entire flight to extinction. I understand, time was limited, but until Sabellian came back to Azeroth, Wrathion was the sole claimant of a throne with no kingdom.Sabellian, on the other hand, went out-of-his-way to avenge the deaths of his kin in Outland, even stepping in to help us fight Gruul's sons back when that was a matter of life-and-death for players, rather than just an interesting event that happened while questing. He then proceeded to save what's left of his species, probably rather unaware that they were driven to extinction on Azeroth between us helping him and his return. All this while diverting some of his already borderline nonexistent resources to aiding the Cenarian Circle (which was most likely an early step in saving his brood that we, directly, play a role in). We can speculate about corruption, or we can extrapolate ulterior motives for a lot of this, but ultimately this shouldn't even be a debate.As far as the Black Dragonflight is concerned, AKA the faction we have nothing to do with but still argue who gets to rule them, Sabellian is a father figure, if not their literal outright father, while Wrathion is, to them, basically a mass-murderer. There's a reason why at the keep, his camp are all humanoids, or are dragonkin who literally have never even left the Dragon Isles. Ebyssian is a literally who that either just doesn't want power or who actively fears what he'll become with it, viewing himself even being a black dragon, as per his own admission, shameful. Of the three, I genuinely think that despite all the people saying he'd make a great leader, he'd make the worst of the three, specifically within the context of the black dragons.
