The Laboratory at the Summit

Above the dwarven city and elemental caverns, Nefarian maintained the work meant to secure his own dominance. His chromatic experiments made other dragons into materials for a force of his creation.

The attackers destroyed eggs and encountered Vaelastrasz, an ally already forced into the enemy’s service. Continuing through the lair meant both ending the experiments and confronting what they had done to their victims.

At the summit, Lord Victor Nefarius revealed his dragon form. Nefarian’s defeat ended the original operation in Blackrock Mountain. The same victory also mattered to the scepter campaign: the red shard taken from Vaelastrasz could finally be recovered.
