:"''Your son fought with honor. He died a hero's death. He deserves a hero's burial.''"
 
:— {{npc||King Varian Wrynn}}
 
 
'''Dranosh Saurfang''', often called '''Saurfang the Younger''', was the son of [[Varok Saurfang]] and nephew of [[Broxigar the Red]]. His mother's identity is not known. Dranosh was very much like his father and uncle, a fierce warrior to the end.
 
 
After he fell to [[Frostmourne]] at the [[Battle of Angrathar the Wrathgate]], he was raised in undeath by the {{npc||Lich King}} and brought to [[Icecrown Citadel]], where he bars the path of any champions seeking to lay siege to his new master's fortress.
 
 
Dranosh Saurfang is voiced by Chris Metzen.<ref>{{ref game|title=World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King Collector's Edition}}WotLK Behind-the-Scenes DVD</ref>
 
 
==Background==
 
Dranosh means "Heart of [[Draenor]]" in [[orcish]]. Before his mother died, his father promised her that their son would remain safe and [[Blood Curse|untainted]]. Before Varok crossed the [[Dark Portal]], he had the elders of [[Garadar]] hide Dranosh away so the orcish [[warlocks]] would not find him.
 
 
==The Burning Crusade==
 
[[File:SaurfangTheYounger.jpg|thumb|left|Dranosh in Outland]]
 
Dranosh Saurfang first appears in [[Nagrand]]. Though he is not the leader of the [[Mag'har]], he is classified as a level ?? Boss.
 
 
Following a [[murkblood]] raid, a group of adolescent orcs from Garadar formed a war party and set out to seek vengeance. They reached [[Sunspring Post]], but most of them were killed by the [[broken]]. Dranosh was one of the few survivors of that party - he sustained severe injuries and narrowly escaped.
 
 
After he recovers, Dranosh decides not to return to Garadar, as he believes that his destiny lies elsewhere. Upon hearing this, [[Farseer Corhuk]] says, "The son is the father... May the spirits have mercy on those that stand in his way".<ref>{{questlong|Horde|67|He Will Walk The Earth...}}</ref>

[[File:Saurfang the Younger.jpg|thumb|Dranosh in Northrend]]
 
Dranosh Saurfang later appears in [[Northrend]] alongside the [[Warsong Offensive]].{{coords|41|18|Dragonblight}}
 
 
His father, High Overlord Varok Saurfang, has placed him in command of the [[Kor'kron Vanguard]], a fortress at the base of [[Angrathar the Wrathgate]]. He was also given his father's [[Battlegear of Might|armor]] and axe.
 
 
During the [[Battle of Angrathar the Wrathgate]], Dranosh charged the Lich King. With a single blow, [[Frostmourne]] shattered his axe, struck him down, and stole his soul.
 
 
Though his body disappeared in the aftermath of the battle, [[Horde]] players are asked by {{npc||Alexstrasza}} to retrieve his shattered armor and [[Quest:Darkness Stirs|deliver it to his father]].

[[File:Deathbinger Saurfang.jpg|thumb|Deathbringer Saurfang]]
 
{{main|Deathbringer Saurfang}}
 
One of the visions in the [[Yogg-Saron (tactics)|Yogg-Saron]] encounter shows the Lich King alongside an [[Immolated Champion]] and a [[Turned Champion]], which were believed to be visions of [[Bolvar Fordragon]] and Dranosh Saurfang respectively. This would ultimately be confirmed as {{npc||Deathbringer Saurfang||the Deathbringer}} in [[Icecrown Citadel (instance)|Icecrown Citadel]] is in fact Dranosh Saurfang raised from the dead in the service of the Scourge. He is described as the Lich King's most powerful death knight.<ref>http://blue.mmo-champion.com/13/21035174537-icecrown-citadel-testing--november-1014.html</ref>
 
 
===Death===
 
After being defeated by players, Dranosh's grieving father arrives and claims his body. He promises to give him a proper burial in Nagrand, next to the pyres of his mother and his ancestors.
 
 
==Quotes==
 
*''They died. All of them...
 
 
As the Murkbloods cut through us, something took hold of me that I cannot understand. Tell me have you ever felt a rage so great that whole of your being burns? A heat that wilts the living? A heat that incinerates the blood in you veins? That is what i felt.
 
 
<Saurfang's eyes glow red for a brief moment.>
 
 
I was the last one left alive. 30 of them surrounded me...Murkbloods...I remember nothing beyond that vision. I blacked out and awoke some time later.''
 
*''"I believe that my destiny lies elsewhere - that I will serve a greater purpose someday."''
 
*''"[[Varok Saurfang|My father]] has gifted me with his battle armor and axe. Soon I put it to good use."''
 
*''"Rise up, sons of the [[Horde]]! Blood and glory await us! Lok'tar ogar! For the Horde!"''
 
*''(To [[Bolvar Fordragon]] after arriving at [[Angrathar the Wrathgate]] with the [[Kor'kron Guard]]) "I couldn't let the [[Alliance]] have all the fun today".''
 
*{{text|yell|Enough talk! Let it be finished!}}
 
*{{text|yell|Join me, father. Join me and we will crush this world in the name of the Scourge - for the glory of the Lich King!}}
