"And I assume that these thralls would pretend to be aligned with whatever opposes the Regent--Pleroma, did you say?--to better deceive. I have no talent to sense corruption or darkness." Though, oh, Wrathion could wish he did!

"On the other hand," the dragon muses, "if there is a way to cast the Regent's influence out, and I can find evidence of it, I have helped lessen the effects of such contamination on my own world. I would not be averse to attempting it again here."

It does assume that Wrathion could come by the resources, but even if it took longer than he hoped, he'd be damned if he didn't try such a solution, if it were possible.
