Playing the demon’s advocate here, we see a lot of those loyal, lawful, orderly soldiers basically ditching their former charge and reinventing themselves. Not even as soldiers necessarily, but as anything from explorers, innkeepers, bankers and ornithologists. I would argue that it’s one of the core themes of the Dracthyr race in DF, them finding out who and what they want to be.
Again with that being said, this particular angle does suspend my disbelief a fair bit. Considering it’s an in-guild concept and that I’m not likely to embrace the Burning Legion IC, I personally don’t have a problem with it.
I’ll have you know that during the years of DMing, I’ve been able to make one storyline that wasn’t focused on either Fel or Void.
It was very hard, I am truly the 1%.
I had a blast roleplaying against you and fighting you in roleplay. Your roleplay and character looks decently made so anyone who seeks to rp a corrupted fel Dracthyr should totally hit this dude up.

They can’t be any class aside from evoker, which is their entire gimmick
Then why can every race be monk? Or how can horde be paladins? Bruh with time world evolves, there is more than enough time for dragons to learn other ways of combat
They can´t, they have Blood Knights, Sunwalkers and Prelates. Mechanically the same, but each of the Horde races has its own lore for these classes that diferentiates it from regular paladins.
Blizzard already said they are open to maybe add more classes for dracthyr in the future, but we´re talking years here, and it may never happen (and even if it does, I´d guess they get classes like warrior, rogue, hunter, mage, druid or shaman, not warlocks).
They can be Sunwalkers, Blood Knights and Prelates. Mechanically speaking these might be paladins in game, but they are not paladins in the lore. There is also a vast amount of lore behind each class.
The Dragon Isles just opened up to the wider world.
There is. But Evokers is also largely what they were designed to be, and until we see a Dracthyr be another class with lore behind it, it might be wise to consider holding off playing as Dracthyr of other classes.
Folks out here begging with tears in their eyes for Worgen to be able to play any class that lets them fight with their claws for 12 years but they have to be placed in the same bin as people who demand Dracthyr Warlocks 5 seconds after the race’s introduction.
I think I already had this argument in the past, and the evidence for paladins being only human priests/crusaders that undergo a special ritual is just some obscure quote from a long-forgotten book which clearly no longer applies, and furthermore it wasn’t even stated to be restrictive, in that even while holding that book valid (ie. paladins needed a specific ritual) nothing prevents other races from becoming a paladin through other means (ie. in the case of blood knights, being infused with m’uru’s magic).
It is canon that blood elves and draenei have paladins in their ranks, therefore the idea which holds that only humans that undergo a specific ritual are paladins is falsified by the canon lore.
Aren’t Evokers the elite “few” among the Dracthyr? As described in https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/Edict:_Evoker
Not that we see the other Dracthyr doing anything else but use the magic of the dragonflights, just Evokers are the exceptional ones who can use all five.
Dracthyr RPers will literally do everything but switch to another race to play said class :pepelaugh: all while seeking the most extreme class that doesn’t gel with their original fantasy.
As someone who enjoys warlocks alot, I dont think they are a good fit for Dracthyr.
Not only are they extremly fresh to the rest of Azeroth, but fel, demons and warlocks and all that has kind of taken a step back in relevance the last few years.
Asthetically it also clashes with the dracthyr fantasy in my own opinion.
There are paladins and there are Paladins. Paladins are the knights of the Silver Hand who undergo that specific ritual that isn’t from obscure quotes or a long-forgotten book, and then there are paladins - the in-game class.
Blood knights weren’t infused with M’uru’s magic, they simply siphoned energy from him to wield the Light.
Yes, paladins. But not Paladins.
Technically, yes, but I was using the term more generally. If we take Dracthyr as a race you’re probably even less likely to see dracthyr warlocks since they belong to Weyrns and each Weyrn does one specific thing.
TBH the likeliness of seeing any race being a warlock is down to an individual and not the race, with the potential exception of Lightforged Draenei.
I doubt we’ll even see many more Fel Dracthyr RPers apart from the OP (unless his call to Fels works and he makes an entire Fel Weyrn just to spite the forums and invoke the essence of Moon Guard US), but every warlock is by default an exception/outcast/exile/odd one out from the rest of their race.
We are the oddity compared to what’s the norm as there’s no thoroughly Fel-Driven race choice in the game (which is why I’m eternally peeved by Blizzard removing Zandalari and never introducing KT Warlocks despite both having ample reason to have them).
As for how quick can this corruption happen, I’d say orcs, Feltotem HMTauren and vulpera are great examples of how quickly whichever race can produce their own warlocks and/or embrace Fel.
