Description[]
The Thornspeakers were assisting me but they have troubles of their own.
I came in search of a powerful dragon who fell in battle many centuries ago. Melting snows have revealed Vadekius's final resting place.
My Queen has tasked me with ensuring his body cannot be reanimated and enslaved. The ritual will require my full attention and my druid friends aren't fit for combat.
Watch my back while I ensure my cousin's soul flies amid the branches of G'Hanir, safe from undeath.

Death Knights[]
- We know of your misdeeds, Death Knight. Your actions helped to save Azeroth from the Burning Legion, but our trust is damaged.
- Tread Carefully.
You know me?
- We do, Deathlord, <name>.
- We know it was you who assaulted our sanctum. We know you have corrupted and enslaved Kyranastrasz.
- Those are offenses against Life that will be answered for, one day.
- I spared what lives I could.
<Zallestrasza's expression eases slightly>
That also did not go unnoticed <name>. My people are few and each life is precious.
It does not excuse the offense against my flight, but we acknowledge and appreciate your... restraint. For being such as you it could not have been easy.
I want to ask something else.
- Your people are weak and were nearly dead anyway. I just ended your suffering more swiftly.
- You are a monster in Arthas's own image, <name>. When final death comes for you, I hope you will go slowly, tortured by the pain and suffering you have inflicted on others.
- When all the world was engaged in greater matters, you rode across the planet dragging the dead into cursed unlife. I am sure you told yourself it was for the greater good, but mark my words, Deathlord, there will be consequences.
- <Zallestrasza gives herself a little shake>
- But for now, maybe you can be useful.
I want to ask something else.
- Travel to Vadekius's Rest
- Zallestrasza says: Thank you, I suppose.
- Zallestrasza says: What you did to Kyranastrasz is not something I can forgive lightly.
- Zallestrasza says: My heart is not as great as my Queen's.
- Zallestrasza says: But this is a start.
- Zallestrasza says: There is what remains of Vadekius. He was a mighty dragon.
- Zallestrasza says: Don't get any ideas.
- Reaching Vadekius's Rest, she glides down to land.
- Dismounting the player, she walks up the the bones before turning around and taking human form.
- Tell Zallestrasza to begin
