War of the Scaleborn (World of Warcraft: Dragonflight)

Product Information

And I, you,” Vyranoth said. Alexstrasza still smelled like herself, at least—though there was a new, underlying note that Vyranoth couldn’t quite identify. To her palate, it seemed to be the scent of smoke and stardust, something not of their world. Morelike War of the Stillborn with how all the Aspects and the Incarnates have been written this expansion Comment by Grothrill on 2023-06-13T14:28:53-05:00 But but but...we already hav vs pretty good handle of what's to going on..I don't need anymore books for lore Comment by SilverDragon234 on 2023-06-13T12:21:37-05:00 Maybe they finnaly actually got someone who know who to write, but i doubt she can milk gold from stone. In an IP as large and sprawling as Warcraft, some retcons are inevitable. Once all of the disparate data about a character or event are pulled together and evaluated, there are going to be contradictions. It is up to the writer working with Blizzard to tease out the threads that will become canon, and discard those that contradict the chosen path.

And we should not have to pay extra for lore that should be in the Game in the first place. That is one of the biggest weaknesses of WoW. you need to buy extra content to even know what is going on or what the motivations for the main bad guys truly are. really another *!@#in book? can we please stop scuffing the games story for books i dont wanna have to watch a youtube video or buy a book for lore The Dragon Isles are so developed in Dragonflight that it’s easy to forget that the dragons’ ancestral home is the region of Northrend now known as Dragonblight, and since it’s set so far in the past, many events of the book take place there. There are a couple of new locations in Northrend whose whereabouts are vague but which could be the setting of a patch or even a raid.There it is guys...all the lore that should be in game Comment by CaptainMadHi on 2023-06-13T11:06:13-05:00 Delve into the world of dragons from before the events of World of Warcraft®: Dragonflight in this exciting prequel. A new light will shine on the story of the war of the dragons and the impact it’s had on the very future of the dragonflights. Another survivor at the end of war is Virec, described as one of Iridikron’s three wingleaders — and that’s all we know about them. Virec is a complete blank slate and as such would easily work as a future antagonist working alongside Iridikron. In fact, considering how much more detail is given regarding the other wingleaders and major allies of Iridikron it seems deliberate that Virec isn’t fleshed out — yet. My agency remains inviolate,” Alexstrasza said. “Tyr offers what guidance he can, but my decisions are my own.”

wasnt this one of people's biggest issues w/ the novels before? that they were necessary for understanding the story so if you didn't read them you were left confused? why is this being framed as an issue now? In fact, eggs are probably just clumps of cells until they hatch and aren’t technically consciously aware before then, despite Wrathion’s claims to the contrary. Wrathion’s habit for aligning with conspiracy theories and crazy notions likely started with the elitists at Ravenholdt Manor, where he hatched out of his egg. Wow, how meta is this statement, in light of all the Bronze/Infinite Dragonflight shenanigans. When it comes to Warcraft lore, a lot of us lore nerds are akin to the Titans, insisting on the "ONE TRUE PATH!" and demanding the removal of any retcons and contradictions. He is also the first one to ascend of the primal incarnates. Iridikron is the second. Razsageth is the third.

Super excited for it. Love to read wow books, it's really great to get wow lore on a medium that allows stories and characters to get better fleshed out and more deeply explored. Plus, I love everything dragonoh yes, some good dragons fighting some bad dragons. On the other end of the age scale is the proto-Dragon Cysanz who plays a role in the final battle of the War. While alive at the end of the book, it is strongly suggested that due to his age he will not live much longer and almost certainly did not survive until modern times. Of course that’s just suggested, not factual, so Cysanz could make a return if someone on the development team thought he’d be a good fit.

What will you do if he asks you to force dragons to join your flights?” Vyranoth asked. “Will you disregard the desires of those who disagree with you?” I am afraid to like any lore or history now because i expect to be told "but thats just one view" and have it changed later. Comment by Atiaens on 2023-10-28T04:58:26-05:00 One is led to wonder who Blizzard's target audience is here. Those who are looking for more enlightenment about events in the game will get a lesson in history, but not one that, unlike in Shadowlands, is as necessary. Lore aficionados will find themselves irritated by odd retcons. In an IP as large and sprawling as Warcraft, some retcons are inevitable. Once all of the disparate data about a character or event are pulled together and evaluated, there are going to be contradictions. It is up to the writer working with Blizzard to tease out the threads that will become canon, and discard those that contradict the chosen path. These small things are part of the nature of writing lore for a universe and history that has already been told so many times by so many different writers in so many different media. This is understandable, but these retcons need precedent and, if there is likely to be a question from the reader, explanation. The lore conversant may be confused by some choices. The casual reader may just be confused.The worst books have important lore events happen in the current time period, without being represented or referenced ingame. Like Garrosh' trial and escape. Or answer questions of massive plot points Blizzard has been deliberately withholding for 4 years. Such as the motivations of Sylvanas and how the Jailer tempted her. Having to wait for 4 years, and then buy a book, to learn why Teldrassil burned, is bad. But I'd say this book is likely to be more along the lines of the Arthas book. Or the ones that dive into the Rise of the Horde. You know the important bones of the story. A book can flesh it out. Fyrakk confronts Iridikron after Iridikron elevates Razsageth without consulting Fyrakk. Fyrakk says that if anyone should be the leader it’s him as he ascended first, Iridikron proceeds to sink Fyrakk into the ground almost drowning him in the earth, making Fyrakk accept him as the leader. This telling of an old conflict which drove a wedge between factions of a species and affected their very evolution raises some interesting questions about leadership, reward, and choice that are very pertinent to today’s world. One of the triggers for part of the conflict revolves around the fact that prenatal primal-dragons can be influenced into being Primals or Dragons by their egg being infused with “energies” of one kind or another. By itself, this is not an issue. The issue comes in with consent. Adult dragons can also undergo this change. So is it ok to infuse abandoned eggs? Is it ok to steal and infuse eggs? Is it ok to infuse eggs pre-hatching and not let whatever hatches decide for itself? Choice is a theme that runs throughout. Heavy is the head that wears the crown, and, as Alexstrasza discovers, a right choice on one day may turn out to have been very much the wrong choice on another, be it egg-infusion, choice of allies, or accepting a boon with strings attached.
