Tarjin the Blind
Before bringing Tarjin any dragon skulls, players can ask the Djaradin about his eyesight and his solitude.
Like all Djaradin, the mighty giant relishes fighting with dragons, and tells an impressive tale of a fight with a dragon whose skull he still keeps as a trophy. As for his solitude, he explains how losing his eyesight affected his place in Djaradin society.
How did you lose your eyesight?
Tarjin the Blind says: I lost my eyesight as any djaradin would wish to... in battle with a massive dragon!
Tarjin the Blind says: I hid on a mountaintop for three weeks without moving, waiting for the perfect moment to strike!
Tarjin the Blind says: Finally, I stuck, jumping on the back of a powerful dragon named Fenistrasza flying by.
Tarjin the Blind says: We wrestled as we plummeted through the sky, hundreds of feet, until we slammed into the heart of a volcano!
Tarjin the Blind says: Fenistrasza had gouged out my eyes with her talons during the fall, but I had only begun to fight!
Tarjin the Blind says: I ripped the lava and earth swirling around us upward, wrapping around the dragon's entire body.
Tarjin the Blind says: Sightless, but filled with fury, I forced the dragon downward into the volcano's throat, burning it alive as we were both enveloped in lava.
Tarjin the Blind says: I held Fenistrasza in that volcano for three days straight, until I emerged with nothing but her skull.
Tarjin the Blind says: Lava still pours out of her skull's eye sockets to this day.
Tarjin the Blind says: Do you doubt me? It rests there on the shelf beside me. See for yourself what happens to those who oppose a djaradin
Why aren't you with the other djaradin?
Tarjin the Blind says: And why should I be with the other djaradin? Do not presume to know of our ways, outsider.
Tarjin the Blind says: After I was blinded in battle with Fenistrasza, I was no longer welcome on the Qalashi dragonhunting parties.
Tarjin the Blind says: And they were right. I could not keep up with the other dragonhunters. I was a liability.
Tarjin the Blind says: So I passed my days in camp, as a laborer.
Tarjin the Blind says: But my strength never waned! I continued down a different path to glory.
Tarjin the Blind says: I mastered control of earth and fire, bending magma and stubborn fire elementals to my will.
Tarjin the Blind says: While slumbering deep in the ground with the other djaradin, my command over earth only grew stronger!
Tarjin the Blind says: When the djaradin awoke, I had no interest in returning to manual labor in our camp.
Tarjin the Blind says: Here, I can focus on strengthening my command over earth and fire, without distraction.
Tarjin the Blind says: Usually. Now leave me alone.
Tale of the Outsider
The first story Tarjin tells is of an outsider - a half-giant whose ship landed on the shores of the Dragon Isles. After many battles, the leader of the half-giants was the only one left standing, but he proved himself to the Djaradin and became one of them. He lived with the Djaradin for years, until he died in battle against a powerful dragon.
Tarjin the Blind says: Long ago, far before my time, legends tell of an outsider ship landing on the shores of the Dragon Isles.
Tarjin the Blind says: A warband of half-giants, led by their king, carved their way through the land.
Tarjin the Blind says: The djaradin had not yet united under the Qalashi banner, and several tribes fell to the fearsome half-giants.
Tarjin the Blind says: But, like all who face djaradin on the battlefield, they eventually fell.
Tarjin the Blind says: In the end, their king stood alone in the battlefield against armies from all of the djaradin tribes.
Tarjin the Blind says: A whirlwind of violence and stubborness, he refused to fall. For eight days and nights, he fought without rest and without fail.
Tarjin the Blind says: He had earned his place among the djaradin, and joined the Qalashi tribe as a dragonhunter!
Tarjin the Blind says: He fought alongside the Qalashi for years, slaying countless dragons as he proved his worth a hundredfold.
Tarjin the Blind says: Until the day he finally fell in battle with a powerful dragon a hundred times his size.
Tarjin the Blind says: He arrived an outsider, but he died a djaradin.
We think we might have actually seen the half-giant's shipwreck in the Forbidden Reach! A vrykul ship belonging to the Dragonflayer Clan can be found tucked away on a shore there.

Tale of the Elders
In the Tale of the Elders, Tjarin describes the four Djaradin Elders who first gained full command over fire and earth, leading to the Djaradin as we know them today.
Tarjin the Blind says: Outsiders have often asked where the djaradin learned to command earth and fire.
Tarjin the Blind says: Ignorant fools. The djaradin command the earth and fire, because we ARE the earth and fire!
Tarjin the Blind says: It is said that the djaradin were the first earth giants to walk the surface of Azeroth.
Tarjin the Blind says: Shaping earth and mountains, they formed this land with their fists.
Tarjin the Blind says: According to legend, four elders of those ancient djaradin joined their powers together to burrow deep inside the earth.
Tarjin the Blind says: The legends do not agree what happened down there, but they all end the same way.
Tarjin the Blind says: The elders emerged, touched by the fires of the world to be true djaradin, commanding full control over fire and earth!
Tarjin the Blind says: In turn, the elders empowered all djaradin into the mighty giants you see today!
Tale of the Warlord
In the Tale of the Warlord, Tarjin explains why the Djaradin fight dragons - they have chosen the strongest opponents in order to keep their own people strong.
Tarjin the Blind says: It is said that the ancient djaradin tribes were disorganized. Rival warlords battling each other for supremacy.
Tarjin the Blind says: Until one warlord, of the Qalashi tribe, saw a more worthy path for her people.
Tarjin the Blind says: She ordered her tribe to leave the djaradin battlefields, and focus their skills only on hunting the powerful dragons nearby.
Tarjin the Blind says: The other tribes preyed on the weak around them: the tuskarr, gnolls, underdwellers. And in time, they grew weak as well.
But the Qalashi grew strong from fighting only the most worthy foes in the Isles.
Tarjin the Blind says: In time, the warlord easily conquered the lazy tribes, uniting their strongest under the Qalashi banner.
Tarjin the Blind says: Focused and forged in battle, the newly emboldened Qalashi led a legendary rampage against the dragons!
Tarjin the Blind says: Never before or since have the djaradin slaughtered so many dragons in a single day.
Tarjin the Blind says: Some djaradin have forgotten the warlord's timeless truth: What you fight, you become.
Tarjin the Blind says: This is why true Qalashi seek out strong opponents. And why weaklings such as you are not worth fighting.
Tale of the Slumbering
In the Tale of the Slumbering, Tarjin describes how Neltharion used underhanded tactics to defeat the Djaradin's four elders - the same elders who helped the Djaradin gain their powers.
Tarjin the Blind says: Are you sure you wish to hear this tale? It may make you rethink your friendship with the dragons...
Tarjin the Blind says: It is said that the four djaradin elders' mastery over earth and fire caught the dragons off-guard in those first battles.
Tarjin the Blind says: Dragon after dragon fell, until Neltharion emerged from the Obsidian Citadel with his armies to halt their advance.
Tarjin the Blind says: The elders were hopelessly outnumbered, but the dragons were hopelessly outmatched.
Tarjin the Blind says: As the elders battled all challengers with honor, the so-called "Earth-Warder" revealed his cowardice.
Tarjin the Blind says: Through honorless guile and trickery, the elders fell that day.
Tarjin the Blind says: But not before they had secured permanent footholds for the djaradin in the surface of these lands. Footholds we still hold to this day!
Tarjin the Blind says: Some say that the elders did not die that day, but retreated deep into the earth, where they slumber and recover their strength.
Tarjin the Blind says: I do not know if I believe that, but I hope it's true. You and your dragon friends would be doomed.
Tarjin also mentions that the elders are said to be dormant somewhere deep within the earth - a belief echoed by the
Emissario Qalashi
found in the Vault of the Incarnates.
Qalashi Emissary yells: Be on your guard, I do not trust these dragon worshippers.
Qalashi Emissary yells: If their aid were not necessary to find our elder, their bones would be adorning our hall.
More and more, it's looking like we'll be heading underground sometime soon in Dragonflight.
The Magma Pact
Tarjin mentions Iridikron in this tale. As we now know,
Iridikron is released, along with his fellow Primal Incarnates
, in the Vault of the Incarnates raid finale. By the sounds of it, the mighty warlord who united the Djaradin against the dragons, was also the one to pledge the Djaradin to the Primalists' cause.
Tarjin the Blind says: Even the legendary Qalashi warlord who united the tribes never matched the raw power of the four elders.
Tarjin the Blind says: As the years passed, again and again the warlord lost ground to the dragons.
Tarjin the Blind says: Our people pushed farther back into their mountain footholds, practically underground!
Tarjin the Blind says: It is said that after her defeat at Scalebreaker Keep, she withdrew deep into the earth to ask the elders to lend her their strength.
Tarjin the Blind says: But upon her journey, a massive being of elemental magic approached her. An Incarnate of the earth itself.
Tarjin the Blind says: This Incarnate, Iridikron, asked the warlord what she would be willing to do to end the reign of the Aspects.
Tarjin the Blind says: The warlord answered as any djaradin would: We would do anything.
Tarjin the Blind says: Iridikron offered not power, but allies. An alliance of the Primalists and djaradin against the dragonflights.
Tarjin the Blind says: The warlord agreed. Some djaradin objected, but most saw the truth.
Tarjin the Blind says: In this would, only the strong survive. And the djaradin must survive.
Tarjin the Blind says: And I say, if there are to be dragons flying overhead, let it be the ones infused with the same earth and fire that burns within us.
Tarjin the Blind says: Then, after the dragonflights are no more, these 'allies' will merely be the last foes left for us to hunt.
