Grakkarond was a massive bronze dragon who fought against the qiraji during the War of the Shifting Sands. He was defeated when a particularly cunning anubisath named Ossirian hurled his obsidian sword through Grakkarond's wing. The crippled wyrm descended, crushing the qiraji as it fell. The dragon nearly mauled Ossirian to death, but the remaining anubisaths and qiraji now had a target on the ground to focus on, and they swiftly converged and overwhelmed the noble dragon. Afterward, the bones of Grakkarond became a sacred site to the anubisaths and a testimony to their ability to defeat even the most powerful of enemies.^[1]

Grakkarond's bones were eventually destroyed alongside the majority of Silithus at the end of the third invasion of the Burning Legion when Sargeras plunged his sword into the area in a last-ditch effort to destroy Azeroth.
