Day of the Dragon is a fantasy novel by Richard A. Knaak, and set in the Warcraft Expanded Universe. The first of Blizzard Entertainment's tie-in novels from this franchise, the story is set several months after the events of Warcraft II: Beyond the Dark Portal. As the Horde's remaining territories in Azeroth become increasingly besieged and the nation of the Alliance begin to squabble, the human mage Rhonin is sent to the heart of the Horde's operations to free one of their last remaining advantages, the imprisoned Dragonqueen Alexstraza. Of course, not everyone wants to see her freed, and Rhonin soon becomes embroiled in a conspiracy to see the Age of Dragons restored, and mortal life on Azeroth destroyed.This story is notable for defining the nature of the dragonflights and the Aspects, as well as creating three new dragonflights to add into the canon. Many of the details in this book would be touched upon in the The War of the Ancients trilogy, as well as many of the quests in World of Warcraft, particularly the Cataclysm expansion. | |

Faux Action Girl: Vereesa Windrunner kicks very little ass in this story, considering the family pedigree she has to live up too. Screaming, getting hit on and getting knocked out are the grand majority of her contributions to the plot. | |

Characterization Marches On | |
| Day of the Dragon / int_479f9ad0 | comment |
Characterization Marches On: Dragons were introduced in Warcraft II as dumb beasts for the Horde to ride upon. In modern times, players know them as unfathomably ancient and wise shapeshifting creatures who are almost as old as the planet itself. | |

| Day of the Dragon / int_5288f02 | comment |
All Your Powers Combined: After regaining their strength, the Aspects unleash their full power on Deathwing. He flees rather than fight them at full strength. | |

Fantastic Racism | |
| Day of the Dragon / int_57b80b45 | comment |
Fantastic Racism: More like everything-ism. Everyone in this story holds serious biases. Mages thinking they're better than everyone, Paladins thinking mages are damned souls, the rampant near genocidal hatred of orcs, even humans nations have deeply ingrained negative opinions of each other. | |

Names to Run Away from Really Fast | |
| Day of the Dragon / int_60fa92ac | comment |
Names to Run Away from Really Fast: Granted, this is expected from an Orc, but... Nekros Skullcrusher. Also Neltharion a.k.a. Deathwing himself. | |

Belligerent Sexual Tension: Vereesa and Rhonin annoyed each other in the beginning. Their later romance surprises nobody. | |

Slasher Smile | |
| Day of the Dragon / int_bd4264a3 | comment |
Slasher Smile: Deathwing pulls of a very unsettling one during his first conversation with Rhonin in his human disguise of a nobleman Lord Prestor. At one point, his grins so widely that his mouth stretches beyond the width that would be possible for an ordinary human — revealing an additional row of sharp, draconic teeth to boot. | |

Mama Bear: Alexstrasza, both for her own dragonflight specifically and for life of Azeroth in general. Nekros Skullcrusher finds out the hard way—for his crimes, he ends up in her stomach. | |
