    Dragonriders in Kul Tiras

    Hey everyone,

    I have myself done all the quests but I cannot recall anyone mentioning Dragonriders attacking Kul Tiras - yet we have a sight of a dragon's skeleton as well as an orc with axe and shield. Attached to the dragon's jaw is a chain, making it seem like it has been ridden there. At its claw's grasp is what looks like debris from a building/ship victim. Around it, harpoons of what slew it.

    Was this a common foe or a rider could've gone too far off course?

    I imagine this is a relic of the Second War, in which Orcish Dragonriders encountered Daelin Proudmoore's fleet on their way to the Tomb of Sargeras. There was probably a battle that verged on land around Kul Tiras, and those skeletons all that remain of it. It's not involved in any quests I can think of either, so this is probably just a set-piece for historic effect - a kind of easter egg type deal, I guess you could say.

    I thought as well. I just found it interesting that this rider got so close to Boralus.

    Boralus is a coastal city, so I guess it makes sense a naval battle might run aground as the Orcish fleet passed by if that's indeed what happened. Also possible that a dragonrider fleeing the massacre at the Tomb landed on Kul Tiras to regroup and resupply, got caught by the Kul Tirans and killed in the process.
