spoiler:

Drakath is no longer a dragon, and thanks to The Cold and Divaria, has (presumably) let go of all his hate and bile.

spoiler:

The Human Drakath of AdventureQuest

spoiler:

You can find him at the start of the Gift Delivery War cutscene, Diviara uses the Cold and undoes the necromancy used on him to revert him to his human-self. That said, he uses the same artwork as his DF version.

spoiler:

They could have given Drakath New Art although This Pretty Much shows players that Drakath The Darkness is Prince Drakath Slugwrath and yeah Drakath is pretty hard as a Dragon

spoiler:

True, but familiar art does indeed help establish and reinforce the union, as you say.

spoiler:

Yeah, no. Turns out Erebus of AQ has aided Drakath in faking The Cold!

spoiler:

Faking susceptibility to the Cold maybe. It is more accurate to say that what Erebus does is show Drakath how the Cold may be resisted. Drakath is very like Myr in a critically important way that makes this possible.

ORIGINAL: Erebus

It is after Frostval where you will have yours -- if you can pull off the deception. Only one has done so before.

quote:

ORIGINAL: Myr

“But I NEVER ACCEPTED HIS SERVICE. YOU SOUGHT TO USE ME, TO STEAL ME FROM MY GOD, MY FRIENDS, MY FAMILY!” Myr raged. “There was NOTHING I would not do to resist The’Galin, so when the Traveller came to me and suggested that I pretend that you had succeeded in your original attempt and that it was just slow to take, I agreed. I knew I would have to betray my friends in order to SAVE them… so yes, I watched you kill them; I marched along side you silently. I spoke to your wicked God and nodded as he spoke his lies… and when that creature came into me to transform me and augment me, I was quite unique in the fact that I KNEW it was happening due to the Traveller’s intervention. Yet the creature did not wish to serve your dark lord either, so he HELPED me with my deception. We are one being now and I am honored to be that creature. Both of my RACES will defy you… We will DESTROY you. You will regret ever betraying your original lord. But you, Diviara, I will kill myself for what you have done….. What you did to Jano in K’eld Ner, what you did to Draynor in Stone Deep, and what you have done to countless others.”

Drakath: Anything to resist. ANYTHING to get vengeance. I invite you....

The Slugwrath name
This is not actually the correct surname... the actual name is never allowed to be spoken. The real name is a secret and merely speaking the word would bring about unended horrors. As a venomous joke, a word that is similar to the actual name, "Slugwrath" is used throughout the games.

Sepulchure used Drakath as a tool to recruit a cast of villains who previously served Drakath's Father (Xan, Sekduat, the Ospray Cove Pirates, etc.)

quote:

There is no small irony that if Drakath had followed his heart, and it had lead to marriage... he would have likely ended up as King due to Robina's secret double identity as the Princess Victoria. (I do not think this story has ever been told... if not, I hope it is one day.)

quote:

The horrifying sequence of events that followed turned Drakath into Dragon of Darkness (which was supposed to line up with his role as the Darkness Dragon in the classic AdventureQuest) Drakath was killed. Well... he should have died. Something else happened. You will not find out exactly what until the end of AQWorld's overarching storyline. But he was "chosen" and became the Champion of Chaos.

Off subject, Gravelyn's backstory... as revealed in AQWorld's DoomWood: Part 2 is one of my favorite "gotchas" in all of our games.
