Red Dragonflight

The Red Dragonflight is ruled by Dragonqueen Alexstrasza. They think of themselves as the protectors of all life. Their most hated enemy is the Black Dragonflight.
==Culture==
The Red dragons are loyal to their queen, who - along with her consorts - is treated with respect. Mostly, Red dragons are the only dragons mortals may encounter. They have tabs on important beings, places and organisations such as Cenarius, Dalaran and the Scourge. Like all dragons, they can create illusions on themselves or others. This is so that they can have harmony in life (the task given to them by the Titans).
They see themselves as the defenders of life. They know the secrets of life and death and have power over both. They can rejuvenate, but they can also drain life as well as perform necromancy (although they prefer not to). The breath of Red dragons rejuvenates as well, and when they stand on soil the earth itself is healed.
They defend life, but they will take a life if that would save more lives. Many Red dragons distrust orcs as they have only brought death and chaos in the Red dragons' eyes. They are friendly towards humans, elves and their allies.
Most adult dragons have names ending on -strasz for males and -strasza for females. When taking a humanoid form, they will most likely take human, high elf or blood elf form.
==History==
In the beginning, the Titans chose to give the Dragonflights an aspect of the world to control. It was the Titan Eonar, patron of all life, who gave a portion of her power to the Dragonqueen. Alexstrasza would be known as the Life-Binder and would protect all living things on Azeroth.
====War of the Ancients====
The Black Dragonflight was driven mad by an Old God. When the Legion was sent to Azeroth, Neltharion (as leader of the Black Dragonflight) presented to the other flights the Demon Soul. It required the flights to all give a portion of their power to it. The Flights did so, and the Burning Legion was driven away from Azeroth.
Afterwards, Neltharion attacked the dragons. Most of them fell to the power of the Demon Soul, but the Blue Dragonflight tried to destroy it. Nontheless, they were completely vanquished. Afterwards, the few dragons left secluded themselves.
====The Sundering====
To ensure that Deathwing would never have power again, Ysera, Alexstrasza and Nozdormu put an enchantment on the Demon Soul. Then, Alexstrasza gave a gift to the Night Elves - a seed from the Mother Tree. She placed it in the Well of Eternity on Hyjal. The seed sprung to life into a giant tree: the new World Tree.
====Second War====
Deathwing had returned and used the orc Zuluhed to control the Demon Soul. The Dragonmaw clan used the Demon Soul to enslave Alexstrasza. She was forced to create more dragons for the orcs to ride and use. They used the dragons to burn down Quel'thalas and and the whole third fleet of Kul Tiras.
Her youngest consort, Korialstrasz, disguised as Krasus, sought a way to free Alexstrasza. When the Horde fell, the Dragonmaw clan went to Grim Batol. They were later attacked by mountain dwarves and the orcs lost the Demon Soul to Rhonin of Dalaran. Once free, Alexstrasza killed the leader of the orcs. The Demon Soul was undone. The other aspects attacked Deathwing and he was driven away.
====Remergence====
When the Dragonqueen returned, the Red Dragonflight came back from hiding. Following Deathwing's defeat, Red dragons were put into Grim Batol to protect it.
==In World of Warcraft==
Their guardianship of Grim Batol can be seen in the Wetlands.
At the temple of Ahn'Qiraj stands a Red dragon. He sensed his brethren within the temple, but doesn't want to go in - afraid of the old god's control.
In Blackrock, a Red dragon (disguised as human) tries to stop Nefarian from taking over Azeroth.
In Razorfen Downs, a Red dragon is captured by the Scourge.
In Badlands, a High Elf named Garek is the mortal servant of Korialstrasz. He wants help in killing two Black drakes.
==Wrath of the Lich King==
In the Nexus war, the Red Dragonflight has made a council with the Kirin Tor. They have vowed to neutralise Malygos.
A lot of Red dragons are found in the Wyrmrest Temple, as well as the Dragonqueen and Korialstrasz.
