World of Warcraftplayers can look forward to a fan-favorite character making another appearance inDragonflightPatch 10.0.7. It seems the sad old dragon who touched the hearts ofWorld of Warcraftplayers who met him has more stories to tell those who stay a while and listen.
Veritistrasz is an old red dragon that takes the visage of a dwarf who players can encounter near the Ruby Lifeshrine in the Waking Shores. His sidequest, Stay a While, became one of the most acclaimed stories in all ofDragonflight, leadingWorld of Warcraftto share a behind-the-scenes blogdiscussing its creation.

It seems Veritistrasz’s story inWorld of Warcraftis far from over. The old dragon appears in a new sidequest in Patch 10.0.7 involving a hyperactive young black dragon named Voraxian. The rambunctious drake discovers an ancient relic and beseeches the player to help him find someone to unlock its secrets. The player character then introduces him to Veritistrasz, who dispels the mystery surrounding the object.
Once players complete the quest, Voraxian stays with Veritistrasz, where the two of them enjoy a new view of the Dragon Isles together. However, datamined files indicateWorld of Warcraftplayers will be able to listen in on more conversations between the two dragons. This dialogue is currently unavailable on the Public Test Realm, so players will probably have to wait untilWorld of WarcraftPatch 10.0.7 goes live in the springto see the full conversation.
Players are excited to see more of Veritistrasz inDragonflight. The old dragon’s tragic tale of lost love tugged at the heartstrings of those who met him, and many fans are excited they can help him aidWorld of Warcraft’snew black dragonflightas it recovers from Deathwing’s betrayal. Most players hope Veritistrasz’s popularity leads his story to continue all throughoutDragonflight.
On the other hand, some players are concernedWorld of Warcraftmight overuse the character. The Stay a While quest was impactful because of the immaculate writing, world-building, and emotion it represented–and partly because it did not overstay its welcome. Some fans fear the more the character is used, the more likely it ruins what madeStay a While impactful to manyWorld of Warcraftplayers.
Nevertheless, Veritistrasz remains an excellent example of the excellent writing most ofDragonflighthas had. Players won’t have to wait long to see if the next chapter of Veritistrasz’s story, or other upcoming tales likeWorld of Warcraft’snew Orc Heritage Armor Questline, can continue the quality shown inDragonflight.
