One of the new achievements in Patch 10.0.7 is While We Were Sleeping, requiring you to collect several message stones and journal entries across the Forbidden Reach. These journal entries, when pieces together, show us a story of a Black Dragon that was sent to oversee the Forbidden Reach. In this post, we go through this story, and how it might offer hints into the future of Dragonflight.

All the pages of the books are either written by or directed to Adamanthia, a Black Dragon that is seemingly responsible for the operations of Neltharion's Dracthyr experiment in the Forbidden Reach. In both books, the Dracthyr Archivist Zazulithan notes that they seem to remember Adamanthia in a small capacity, with only fragments — But they feel drawn to their notes and story.
Translated Correspondance of Black Dragons is the journal translating communications between the black dragon Adamanthia and Neltharion.

Her origins and identity are mysterious. Yet we feel drawn to her for reasons beyond recollection. It is as if she holds a part of us in her, sustained in more than just memory.
