I’ll admit that his word choice is partially because of the relationship these two dragons have right now, which to me felt more appropriate as uncle/nephew than brothers.
It’s also a little unclear, though, if Deathwing actually WAS Wrathion’s father. Wrathion’s mother was the black dragon Nyxondra, but Sinestra is well-established in lore to be the only female black dragon to mate with Deathwing and survive the experience.
Personally, I think Wrathion doesn’t know who his father actually was, but likes to claim it was Deathwing for the sense of mystique and intimidation it provides.
Hm. According to WoWpedia, Nyxondra was forced by Rhea to lay eggs, which… Wouldn’t that mean that Wrathion effectively does not have a father? I guess Blizzard derped a tiny bit (okay, more than a tiny bit) on the lore and its implications here. And probably best not delved into too deep, otherwise we might get quite… interesting results. That would, again, in turn provide some extra silly things.
Oh, this is getting good. As powerful as Wrathion is, he is a whelp next to Sabellian. Sabellian has survived many attempts to kill him and should be several orders more powerful than Wrathion ((I never liked the trope of children being more powerful (with mental or physical powers/abilities/skills) than adults, especially those who are trained experts in using that power/ability/skill. The adults would have far more experience than any child or teenager, and experience counts for a LOT more than even natural talent)). He’s also far more experienced in vicious political maneuverings, so it should be very hard for Wrathion to get the drop on him.
Interesting that Sabellian is calling Wrathion “nephew”. I thought they had the same father…?
