Description
When the world was young, all life shook before the might of Galakrond, a massive
primal dragon whose hunger could not be sated. Five primal dragons rose valiantly beside
the titan-forged Keeper Tyr to combat this threat. Though the fight was desperate,
Galakrond fell by their teeth and talons, and they were chosen to become protectors of
Azeroth. The titans gifted Nozdormu, Ysera, Alexstrasza, Malygos, and Neltharion with
order magic, transforming them into the Aspects, powerful dragons with command of time,
nature, life, magic, even the earth itself. Other primal dragons followed them on their path,
and, imbued with the titans’ power, the dragonflights rose to shape the world and serve
the Aspects.
That is the tale the dragonflights have always told . . . but it is not the whole story.
For while the Dragonqueen and her flights set to reshaping Azeroth, not all dragonkind
sees order magic as a gift. Spurning the titans’ interference, a group of rebel primal
dragons drink deep from the elemental powers of the planet and are reborn as the
Incarnates. Led by Iridikron, the Incarnates believe that dragonkind should be subservient
to no one. They foment a rebellion against the Aspects, what they are and all they stand for.
Despite the efforts of the Dragonqueen Alexstrasza and her primal friend, Vyranoth, to
preserve peace, both sides slip closer to violence, as dragons are forced to choose a side
or be swept up in the growing conflict. With battle lines and allegiances drawn, the war
amongst dragonkind shakes the foundation of the world. Both sides realize they will have
to make sacrifices to secure the future of their kind, sacrifices that will cascade through
the ages.
