Lore[edit | edit source]

Nightscale Matriarch appears to be a member of the twilight dragonflight, similar to  Twilight Drake,  Twilight Guardian,  Twilight Whelp, and  Duskbreaker.

Warcraft Wiki icon.pngThis section uses content from the Warcraft Wiki.
The twilight dragonflight is a dragonflight created by the results of magical experiments carried out by Sintharia upon dragon eggs. Using ancient dragon artifacts and the powers of the nether dragons, Sintharia created a new breed of dragons that feed vampirically on all forms of mystical energy. The first encounter of these dragons with the outside world was by Krasus, Kalec, and the draenei priestess Iridi. Iridi thought of their appearance not as shadow, but more akin to the day turning to night, like twilight as experienced on Azeroth. She thus dubbed them twilight dragons.
While Sintharia's experiments resulted in very unstable twilight drakes, and  Nefarian's experiments resulted in infertile or deformed chromatic dragons, their efforts paved the way for  Deathwing to perfect the process of breeding and artificially aging twilight dragons. These draconic aberrations were first seen in-game in Wrath of the Lich King, and became major antagonists in Cataclysm. The twilight dragonflight is now nearly extinct, most being killed in the war against Deathwing.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

Her flavor text is a reference to  Grim Patron's effect triggering quote "Everyone, get in here!".
