Vesprystus is the Flight Master in Rut'theran Village, just outside Darnassus, near the dock.

anyone know of stuff that look the exact same as what he wears? I have the chest piece...

This guy looks like a total weiner with his feather costume and Fu Manchu 'stache. Looks like he's one of the village people in hiding.

Anyone find it pointless that they added a FP in darnassus? why not take the glowing portal 3 feet away and save yourself 10 silver

He's got a pretty fancy eye color too.

Given he is noticeably a DK, I consider this NPC one of the key notions that Blizzard is kinda disregarding lore a lot lately.

Why? Simple.

Vesprystus was around before Cataclysm. He was not a DK then (he's been around since Classic).

"But what if he died somehow during the Shattering?"

Then the Acherus storyline already took place back in early Wrath. He'd have died after that already happened.

And let's just say the folks of Darnassus wanted him back after he died. They have a full temple of Priestesses who could easily do the job proper.

There's a few other examples of the lore-being-on-the-back-burner dilemma, but this one particularly peeved me.

This guy loved his job so much he came back from the dead to keep working.

In all seriousness, though, if you look at the screenshots section here you can see a screenshot of him obviously in post-shattering Teldrassil but still with his normal skin and eyes. He's likely bugged like some other NPCs have been and he's showing the wrong skin and eye color, or it could have been a change made later as an afterthought ("hey guys wouldn't it be cool if Vesprystus was a DK flightmaster in a totally inappropriate place?").

Not a bad theory, but to that last bit... Just because they own it doesn't mean they treat it properly.

They claimed they'd never make Goblins playable due to it potentially ruining their story. Here we stand.

They also have essentially said that the Kaldorei Sentinels, the strongest Azerothian militia (due to centuries of training and immortality keeping them in the body of a 22 year old athlete. Martial perfection + never aging until recently = Really high bar set), is losing to a bunch of brutes that, while bred for war, have limitations where the Night Elves do not. The Kaldorei have far more training, highly efficient tactics, and the home field advantage, on top of the notion that any Orc they don't repel is one more tree from their sacred forest that they lose. The Warsong shouldn't have lasted nearly as long as it has, let alone gained ground. Even if you count out favoritism and factor in that Orcs are indeed respectable fighters who live for war and all that, the odds are still very heavily against them. Individual skill, group tactics, motivation, and even sheer number, in some cases.

I'm not saying this because I don't like it. I'm saying it because it simply doesn't line up. Much akin to the idea of a team of three people armed with BB guns and hairpin lockpicks attempting to rob Fort Knox and succeeding. You have to wonder how in the hell they did it, not because it's some incredible feat, but because it simply shouldn't be possible. It puts the term 'unbelievable' into a far more literal use. Warcraft was one of the few games that actually gave a damn about its lore, and now WoW has essentially put it in front of a firing squad and slowly chipped off bits and pieces.

Even if this does look like just opinion - one voice being particularly peeved by their idiocy - you can't deny that the game is going downhill. There will always be minor complaints, this much is true, but when there's inconsistencies that are somewhat immersion-breaking, yet are taken as canon with no desire to correct it... It becomes a problem that should be seen to.

tfl;dr I said it at the beginning, I'll say it again. Owning it doesn't mean they're doing good with it. You can own a car, but that doesn't mean driving it into a wall is a great idea. Sure, you can choose to, but why would you want to? Especially if it's one as nice as Azeroth. You wouldn't want to just demolish that on a whim.

Well, I didn't mean for this to turn into a rant, but it looks like it has. I'm not mad. I'm disappointed. I don't want to see this happen to the world I've come to know and love. It's that simple.

As of patch 4.3 he is no longer a death knight, and has returned to normal colouring.
