Dragon Flight Pdf

[Lyric Maro]

TheDragon Isles are the main setting of Dragonflight, and are separated into five zones. The four main zones are the Waking Shores, Ohn'ahran Plains, Azure Span, and Thaldraszus, with the neutral city of Valdrakken in Thaldraszus serving as a hub (similarly to Oribos in Shadowlands). The fifth zone, the Forbidden Reach, also serves as the starting area for the Dracthyr race.[2][4]

Dragonflight raised the level cap to 70, the first increase since the level squish in Shadowlands.[4] Dragonflight also features a revamp of the user interface and talent tree systems,[2][4] with two tree branches.[5]

Dragonflight includes a new playable race, the Dracthyr, and a new class, the Evoker. The two are combined: Evokers are exclusive to the Dracthyr, and are also the only class that Dracthyr can play. Wearing mail armor, Evokers have three specializations available to them: the ranged damage-focused Devastation, support-leaning Augmentation and the healing-orientated Preservation.[6] The Dracthyr can choose to align with either the Alliance or the Horde, similar to the Pandaren introduced in Mists of Pandaria. Dracthyr Evokers are also considered a hero class: they start at level 58 and have a unique starting zone.[2][4][3]

The game introduced a new feature called Dragonriding, allowing players to raise and customize a dragon that they will be able to use in a new momentum-based flight system using aerial skills.[5] Flying is available from the start of the expansion, without the need to reach the maximum level.[5]

After being hidden for 10,000 years due to the events of the War of the Ancients, the Dragon Isles, the ancestral home to all dragon-kind, reveals itself on Azeroth. In a secluded area known as the Forbidden Reach, a race of dragonkin soldiers known as the dracthyr awaken from a 20,000-year slumber. Confused about their situation, they discover that they were placed in stasis by their creator, Neltharion the Earth-Warder (later known as Deathwing), the former Aspect of the Black Dragonflight, who feared the potential power they could possess if they weren't under his control due to their ability as evokers to wield the powers of all five dragonflights. The dracthyr quickly find their bearings and free fellow dracthyr such as Scalecommander Emberthal, former leader of the defunct Adamant Vigil faction and Scalecommander Sarkareth, leader of the Ebon Scales faction.

A group known as the Primalists soon invade the Forbidden Reach seeking to free their imprisoned leader, Raszageth the Storm-Eater, an ancient proto-dragon and one of the four Primal Incarnates who wish to end the reign of the Dragon Aspects. Raszageth and the other three incarnates were previously imprisoned during the events of the War of the Scaleborn, a series of conflicts between the Aspects and Incarnates that took place 20,000 years prior. In the ensuing battle between the dracthyr and the Primalists, Raszageth is freed from her prison which forces the dracthyr to evacuate the Forbidden Reach. Seeking to learn about their new world, many dracthyr choose to join the Alliance and the Horde while Sarkareth, who had grown disillusioned with serving the Dragon Aspects due to their treatment of lesser dragonkin, leaves with the Ebon Scales to pursue their own destiny.

The Alliance and the Horde launch a joint expedition to the Dragon Isles, where enemies of old awaken just as the continent does itself, threatening the ancient home of the five dragonflights. The Aspects of the dragonflights also attempt to reawaken their inert power by relighting their own Oathstones, which went dormant upon the destruction of the Dragon Soul that led to Deathwing's downfall.[a]

In the Waking Shores region, Alexstrasza the Life-Binder, the Aspect of the Red Dragonflight, attempts to keep unhatched dragon eggs from becoming tainted by the Primalists by defending the Ruby Lifeshrine, where the eggs of all dragonflights are nurtured to preserve the future of dragonkind. Raszageth soon launches an assault on the shrine, but she is ultimately repelled with the unexpected assistance from Wrathion, the Black Prince, one of the last known black dragons on Azeroth. Wrathion requests Alexstrasza to spare some forces to assist him and his Blacktalon allies in reclaiming the nearby Obsidian Citadel, an ancient black dragon fortress, but she refuses, choosing to continue protecting the Ruby Lifeshrine from further Primalist incursion.

Enlisting the aid of any who will beckon to his call, Wrathion lays siege to the Obsidian Citadel, where a race of half-giants known as the djaradin have taken control. Though heavily outmatched, the Black Prince is aided by the unexpected arrival of the black dragon Sabellian, one of Neltharion's sons, who returned to the Dragon Isles with the Obsidian Brood, black dragons who resided on Outland and were no longer corrupted by the Old Gods. The two leaders reluctantly work together to evict the djaradin and restore the Black Dragonflight's Oathstone. They then journey to the Ruby Lifeshrine with a clutch of black dragon eggs, which restores the Red Dragonflight's Oathstone, though tensions between Wrathion and Sabellian arise over who will lead the Black Dragonflight.

In the Ohn'ahran Plains region, a coalition of Maruuk centaur clans gather to reforge their ancient pact with the Green Dragonflight and combat the Primalists who have invaded the area. However, the Maruuk are betrayed from within by the warlike Nokhud Clan, who ally with the Primalists and accept their gifts of elemental power which they use to capture the wild god Ohn'ahra. Merithra, daughter of the former Aspect of the Green Dragonflight Ysera the Awakened, soon arrives with her son Gerithus and is caught unaware of the betrayal, costing the lives of one of her kin. Merithra and the Green Dragonflight then work with the Maruuk to safeguard the Ancient Bough, where the green dragons first forged a connection with the Emerald Dream. Together they defeat the invading Primalists and rescue Ohn'ahra, renewing the vows of companionship between them and restoring the Green Dragonflight's Oathstone.

In the Azure Span region, Kalecgos, the second Aspect of the Blue Dragonflight, plans to revive the ley lines of arcane magic that flow throughout the region to reactivate the Azure Archives, a vast library of magical artifacts collected by the Blue Dragonflight, but due to the rot and decay of the land caused by the local gnolls and their use of decay magic, this goal appeared unattainable. With the aid of Archmage Khadgar, the local Iskaara tuskarr tribe and under the guidance of a simulacrum of Sindragosa, the former prime consort of the first Aspect of the Blue Dragonflight Malygos the Spellweaver, Kalecgos learns that the only way to reactivate the Blue Dragonflight's Oathstone is through reuniting his now disbanded flight.[b] When Raszageth and the Primalists attempt to destroy Vakthros, a convergence point for the ley lines, Kalecgos works with Khadgar and the Kirin Tor to defend it and they are soon joined by his ally Senegos, leader of the Azurewing brood of blue dragons, strengthening the bonds of their flight and restoring their Oathstone.

In the city of Valdrakken, the largest settlement on the Dragon Isles located within the Thaldraszus region, Alexstrasza meets with Kalecgos and Nozdormu the Timeless One, the Aspect of the Bronze Dragonflight, and they discuss their next move to stop Raszageth and the Primalists. They discover multiple Primalist infiltrators have made their way into the city, in an attempt to incite rebellion among the lesser dragonkin. At the Temporal Conflux, where the Bronze Dragonflight focuses their watch over the timeways, Chronormu (Chromie) successfully captures the infinite dragon Eternus who seeks to corrupt the Bronze Dragonflight's Oathstone. Eternus soon breaks free and as Chromie intercepts her, they are both sent spiraling through portals that take them to various points in time. They are eventually found in the ancient past during the era when the Black Empire ruled over Azeroth and are successfully returned to the present. Nozdormu spares Eternus after she aided Chromie while trapped in the past, and the Oathstone is restored, though the Infinite Dragon warns Nozdormu of his fated transformation into Murozond, the leader of the Infinite Dragonflight.

Seeking to unite the tuskarr tribes, the Iskarra tuskarr chieftain hoped to reopen trade with the isolationist Uktulut tribe in the Waking Shores. They discover that the Uktulut chieftain had fallen into a deep depression following the loss of his hunting companion who was killed by the djaradin, but he's able to overcome his grief by rallying the tribe together and purging the djaradin from the area.

In Thaldraszus, archaeologists of the Dragonscale Expedition discover a titan-forged door that had been sealed by the titan-keeper Tyr. After breaking the seal, they discover the historical attributes of each of the Dragon Aspects, as well as the detailed experiments that Tyr conducted on proto-dragons by imbuing them with different elemental abilities.

Alexstrasza, Kalecgos and Nozdormu head to Tyrhold, a large titan facility built by Tyr, and attempt to discover the secrets of a parting gift left to them by Tyr before his death millennia ago. With the help of the titan-watcher Koranos, they use the gift to reactivate Tyrhold's forge, which creates a body identical to Tyr's. Though the body was lifeless, the Aspects divulge that by recovering Tyr's memories they can fully restore him.

At the Ancient Bough, a drakonid loyal to the Primalists assaults the portal to the Emerald Dream intent to destroy the seed of a world tree that had previously been planted within by Tyrande Whisperwind, the leader of the night elves, following the destruction of her people's home.[c] To counter their assault, Ysera, who had become bound to the Shadowlands,[d] is returned to Azeroth but in exchange, Malfurion Stormrage takes her place in Ardenweald. With Ysera's return, the Primalist forces are evicted from the Dream, and she encourages her daughter Merithra to become the new Aspect of the Green Dragonflight while vowing to protect the world tree seed from future threats.
