Pwnyxia

"Like chocolate milk, only crunchy." -- Tin

Overview and Background

Onyxia's Lair is arguably the raid best tied into the storyline and themes of overland Azeroth. The Black Dragonflight and their minions have insinuated themselves into the territory of the Horde and the Alliance and the labrynthine schemes of Deathwing's odious children threaten the very heart of both nations. Regardless of their personal interest in the doings of the Dragonkin, any adventurer in Azeroth is likely to run afoul of their plots on more than one occasion. In the Eastern Kingdoms, Onyxia undermines the Kingdom of Stormwind by providing direction and clandestine support to villians like the Defias -- an organization which terrorizes the Elwynn Forest and Westfall and played a key role in the abduction of the kingdom's monarch. From without, Nefarian directs his orc catspaws -- through intermediaries such as Overlord Wyrmthalak, General Drakkisath, and "Warchief" Rend Blackhand -- to besiege Lakeshire and prosecute a merciless war against the Dark Iron Dwarves of the Blackrock Depths. In Kalimdor, Onyxia's minions have overthrown the Ogre allies of the horde in the Duskwallow Swamp and the Broodmother herself has made her lair perilously close to the very city of Orgrimmar.

Any adventurer hoping to seek out and confront the Broodmother must first work to unravel the plots of the Black Dragonflight. Only after dogging the minions of the two Dragons tirelessly will an adventurer be able to enter the Onyxia's Lair in the Duskwallow Swamp and slaughter one of the foul architects of the misery the has stalked the lands of Azeroth.
