Caelestrasz

"Do not forget the sacrifices we made on this day, dark elf. We have all suffered immensely at the hands of these giants."

Caelestrasz, an ancient Dragon and child of Alexstrasza, witnessed his mother's battle with Neltharion, where he fought to protect her but ultimately failed to defeat the Black dragon.
Later, during the Draco-Giant War, Caelestrasz, along with his cousin Merithra, was captured by giants and cursed to stay in the form of a drow, rendering him weak and powerless. Despite being freed after years of torment, the experience left him bitter and driven to regain his draconic power, leading him down a path of darkness and evil.

Characteristics

Physical featues

Two sharp eyes, as red as a dragon scale, pierce through the night, those belong to Calen, a drow of imposing stature, whose body is marked by centuries of imprisonment and torture, scares running on his face, arms, and chest telling the story of a tragic past. The gold of his collar and bracelet contrast with his leathery top as his hand hovers above the pummel of his long silvered scimitar.

History

Caelestrasz (Calen in his drow Elf shape) is an ancient dragon and a child of Alexstrasza.

The Battle of Life and Death

In the Highlanders Mountains, Alexstrasza confronted Neltharion. After several minutes of battle, Neltharion and Alexstrasza fell towards the ground, this event is said to be the cause of the formation of the Insatiable Lake, clutched in each other's claws. Alexstrasza, exhausted and mortally injured, was found laying on the ground, while Neltharion fell out of sight beyond the crest of the mountain.
Calen, Alexstrasza's child, who took elven form, raced to his mother's side. Her voice wavered as she explained that the Earth Warder was dead.

"Neltharion is defeated. Life... must not... falter."

— Alexstrasza

She reached out, her trembling hand brushing against Calen’s cheek. Like a phantom, the gigantic form of Neltharion rose up behind them. Calen exclaimed "he lives!" and the wounded Alexstrasza forced herself to sit up, stating that it was "impossible" for Neltharion to have survived the wounds she dealt him.
Neltharion set the ground at his feet aflame and glowered over the group. Calen leaped to shield his mother, his form shifting back into that of a dragon. Though dwarfed by Neltharion, he unleashed a barrage of fire and fury in a desperate attempt to protect her. The ground ignited beneath Neltharion’s feet, his dark aura suffocating all life around him. Calen fought valiantly, but his power was no match for the Earth Warder turned God of death.
Neltharion’s claws descended, piercing Alexstrasza’s heart. The Goddess of Life cried out, a sound that echoed across the planes, her divine essence torn asunder. Miles away, in a serene glade untouched by the chaos, Ysera, staggered as an overwhelming wave of grief and power overtook her. She clutched her chest, her emerald eyes wide with realization. In that moment, the divine domain of Life passed to her, intertwining with her own dominion of Nature.
Back at the Highlanders Mountains, Neltharion roared in frustration as he failed to absorb Alexstrasza’s power. The divine essence had eluded him, finding a new bearer before he could claim it. Enraged and gravely wounded, he retreated into the shadows. Calen, broken and bloodied, knelt at the crater’s edge where his mother had fallen. His cries of sorrow echoed through the desolation, a haunting requiem for the fallen Goddess of Life.

Draco-Giant War

The draco-giant war raged in the Wasted cliff, yet many dragons and Giants from distant regions refused to engage, deeming their involvement unnecessary in what they viewed as a trivial dispute over mere resources.
The situation of the war took a dramatic turn when two renowned dragons fell into the clutches of the giants. Caelestrasz, and Merithra, demi-gods and children of the dragon gods who had saved their kin on numerous occasions, were captured.
Both were cursed, and Calen suffered a Curse affecting his shape, forcing him to stay in the guise of a drow, weak and powerless for the rest of his day.
Prior to this event, Ysera had abstained from involvement in the conflict, deeming it a wasteful expenditure of dragon lives. However, with their offspring abducted, they called upon their fellow dragons to join them in the fight. This pivotal moment shifted the balance of the war, drawing nearly all dragons into the fray, even prompting direct intervention from the dragon gods themselves.
After years of torture and suffering, he was freed by the end of the war. Now living freely, he is still stuck as a drow, and those long years of pain made him grow bitter and bitter, turning evil as he try to gain back more and more of his draconic power.
