Lyuudri

The Lyuudri are a minority ethnic group within Lordaeron. While once having a cultural and political existence distinct from that of other humans in the northern Eastern Kingdoms, the Lyuudrian polity was entirely consumed by the Empire of Arathor during the Troll Wars, and now millennia of assimilation have left few among the Lyuudri who can even recall their ancestry, let alone know anything of the culture. However, remnants of this culture still exist, as do scions of its proud people.

Etymology
The name "Lyuudri" appears to be an amalgamation of the Lyuudri's archaic native tongue, believed to be a dialect of the Vrykul language, and Darnassian. Presuming the original spelling to be Lyuu'dorei, this would make the people known as the "children of Lyuu." According to the few extant Lyuudri records, "Lyuu" is typically translated as "dragon." Some suggest that the Lyuudri's Vrykul ancestors were descended from the ruling Dragonflayer Clan, though this is uncertain.
