| − | Rhonin was once a promising mage of the Kirin Tor until a disastrous mission involving the reckless use of magic cost the lives of all his comrades — whilst Rhonin was casting a spell, others in his group got in the path of his attack. He was cast into probation until the opportunity for penance arose with a dangerous mission into [[Khaz Modan]]. He was assisted in this mission by the [[High elf|high elven]] ranger [[Vereesa Windrunner]], the warrior [[dwarf]] [[Falstad Dragonreaver]], and the dragon-mage [[Korialstrasz|Krasus]] (who was the instigator of this mission). |

| − | He was also assisted (at first) by the evil [[black dragon]] [[Deathwing]], but Deathwing's true purpose was to steal some of Alexstrasza's eggs to replenish his own decimated dragonflight. With a gemstone created from Deathwing's scale, Rhonin was able to destroy the Demon Soul and release Alexstrasza. |

| − | During this mission, Rhonin and Vereesa fell in love, and were later married. Along with Vereesa and Krasus, Rhonin was among the few well-known survivors of the [[Scourge]] that destroyed Lordaeron, Dalaran, and Quel'Thalas after the corruption of [[Arthas Menethil|Prince Arthas]]. Most of Rhonin's family, including his father, were killed during the fall of the town of [[Andorhal]]. |
||
| + | [[Category:Navigation templates|{{PAGENAME}}]] |
||
| − | While he and Vereesa were preparing for the birth of their twin offspring, Rhonin was once again summoned by Krasus for help. Apparently, the dragon-mage had discovered a rift in time, which swallowed both of them, along with the orc veteran [[Broxigar]]. The three were sent 10,000 years back in time to the first invasion of the [[Burning Legion]]. |
||
| + | [[ru:Шаблон:Древние Боги]] |
||
| − | |||
| − | While in the past, Rhonin encountered legendary beings such as [[Cenarius]], [[Malorne]], and [[Aviana]]. He became friends with the heroes [[Illidan Stormrage]], [[Malfurion Stormrage]], [[Tyrande Whisperwind]], [[Jarod Shadowsong|Jarod]], [[Maiev Shadowsong]], and [[Shandris Feathermoon]]. Rhonin actually became Illidan's mentor, not in the least to try and harness his reckless power, but despite Illidan's admiration much of Rhonin's work involved cleaning up Illidan's mistakes. When Illidan defected, Rhonin assumed command of the [[Moonguard]]. As a reward for Rhonin's courage, [[Nozdormu]] allowed Rhonin to return to Vereesa at the moment she went into labor to ensure he would not miss a moment of the twins' lives. Nozdormu also offered the children the friendship of the bronze dragonflight. |
||
| − | |||
| − | In more recent years, Rhonin has found himself in the position as the leader of the Kirin Tor and Dalaran, having been approached by the Kirin Tor in desperation.<ref name="NotD 132">''[[Night of the Dragon]]'', pg. 132</ref> In Rhonin's own explanation to [[Iridi]], "the Alliance is still looking to Dalaran for a lot and the wizards are looking for me to think different than they've been doing for the past several hundred years." However, even though all he really wants is to be with his family, his sense of responsibility impels him from ever abandoning such important roles, or his people.<ref name="NotD 216">''Night of the Dragon'', pg. 216</ref> Much like [[Tirion Fordring]], he is still loyal to the [[Alliance]] despite its recent hostilily against the Horde. |
||
| − | |||
| − | In ''[[Stormrage]]'', Rhonin attended the wedding of Malfurion and Tyrande along with his family. At his offering, he and his accompaning magi from Dalaran created a series of magnificent rainbows in the night sky, which marked the ten millennia of his friends' relationship.<ref>''[[Stormrage]]'', p. 396</ref> As with Korialstrasz, who later appeared with Alexstrasza, it was quite clear that Rhonin would not have missed this pivotal moment for anything.<ref>''[[Stormrage]]'', p. 398</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | No surname has been confirmed, though he is sometimes referred to as "Rhonin Redhair", based on his hair color. It is unclear if this is his surname or just a title.<ref name="DotD 72">''[[Day of the Dragon]]'', pg. 72</ref><ref name="Sund 185">''[[The Sundering]]'', pg. 185</ref><ref name="NotD 254">''Night of the Dragon'', pg. 254</ref> ''[[Night of the Dragon]]'' also mentions that many in the current timeframe refer to him as "Rhonin Draig'cyfail" or by the simplier, translated "Rhonin Dragonheart".<ref name="NotD 109, 239">''Night of the Dragon'', pg. 109, 239</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | He is apparently able to speak or translate [[Ursine]].<ref name="Sund 15">''The Sundering'', pg. 15</ref> He has also become a skilled swordsman from his experience during the Legion invasion. |

||
| − | An epic cloth chest piece known as the {{loot|epic|Robes of Rhonin}} drops off [[Archimonde (tactics)|Archimonde]] in the [[Caverns of Time]] raid [[Battle for Mount Hyjal]]. Presumably, these may have been robes worn by Rhonin himself. This raises the question of how Archimonde came to possess his robes (possibly during the War of the Ancients when Archimonde incapacitates Rhonin). |
||
| − | |||
| − | === ''Wrath of the Lich King'' === |
||
| − | Rhonin appears in the ''[[World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King|Wrath of the Lich King]]'' expansion as the leader of the [[Kirin Tor]]. He is located in the rebuilt and relocated city of [[Dalaran]] in [[Northrend]], with [[Vereesa Windrunner]], [[Archmage Modera]], and [[Archmage Aethas Sunreaver]] at his side. He is fighting the [[blue dragonflight]] and their leader [[Malygos]], who is determined to destroy mortal magic-users.<ref>[http://www.wowinsider.com/2007/08/04/blizzcon-day-2-wow-lore-and-quests-panel-liveblog BlizzCon Day 2 WoW Lore and Quests panel]</ref> |

| − | He is involved in the following quests: |

||
| − | *{{questfinish}} {{questlong|Neutral|80R|Heroic: All Is Well That Ends Well}} |
||
| − | |||
| − | Initially, Rhonin had a much lighter, almost blonde hair color (resulting in some players referring to him as Rhonin ''Gold''hair); this appears to have been changed to a redder hue (befitting the lore) as of Patch 3.1. |
||
| − | |||
| − | When your character hits level 80, Rhonin will mail him or her a [[Magically Wrapped Gift]], containing 5 each of the following items: [[Runic Healing Potion]], [[Runic Mana Potion]], [[Potion of Speed]], and [[Dalaran Firework]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Secrets of Ulduar=== |
||
| − | |||
| − | In the Secrets of Ulduar patch preview cinematic, Rhonin calls [[Varian Wrynn]], [[Jaina Proudmoore]], [[Thrall]], and [[Garrosh Hellscream]] to Dalaran to discuss dealing with the threat within [[Ulduar]]. When Varian and Garrosh begin fighting, Rhonin stops them, claiming that the [[Horde]] and [[Alliance]] must work together. His proposition was turned down, leaving a distressed Rhonin to wonder out loud who was left to challenge [[Yogg-Saron]].<ref>[http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/underdev/3p1/index.xml#ulduartrailer Official Ulduar Trailer]</ref> |

||

And do you know ''what'' dragon?<br />'''Rhonin:''' You have that admirable disposition and manner of dark dress that means you must belong to [[Deathwing]]'s [[Black dragonflight|flight]]. And since you're not the rabid dog or his two [[Nefarian|worst]] [[Onyxia|pups]], I'd hazard by your grand posturing that you must be one of his prime bitches... |

| − | *"''[[Kirin Tor|We]] [[Alliance|have]] [[Horde|all]] lost''... a great deal in [[War against the Lich King|this conflict]], but we stand to lose EVERYTHING if we do not stop fighting and work together!" |
||
| − | |||
| − | As of [[Patch 3.1.3]], he is still silent when clicked on, despite having voiced quotes in the aftermath of {{quest|All Is Well That Ends Well}}. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Personality== |
||
| − | Rhonin is a studious type who knows a little bit about a great many things, but generally keeps his knowledge to himself. He is very young, but his youth disguises a spellcaster of great power and flexibility. He is reckless and hot-headed, and is known frequently not to look before he leaps, a character flaw he recognizes in himself and yet is hard pressed to keep under control. He also has a great sense of humour and is used to seeing huge dragons (such as Alextrasza and Dargonax).<ref name="S&L 50">''[[Shadows & Light]]'', pg. 50</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Combat== |
||
| − | As a quick study of his spell selection will indicate, Rhonin prefers to use his sorcerer abilities for versatility in combat while his wizard spells are usually left to more mundane tasks. He generally starts off a fight with the most powerful spells at his disposal, working his way down to employing searing arrows in concert with his crossbow once all his other combat spells are exhausted.<ref name="S&L 50" /> He is also known to be skilled with the sword.<ref name="The Well of Eternity 49">''[[The Well of Eternity]]'', pg. 49</ref><ref name="Sund 33">''The Sundering'', pg. 33</ref> |
