    Senegos, the oldest living dragon?

    I just finished the azure dragon quest line in azsuna and something khadgar says confused me.

    When you reach senegosa and find out that hes gravely wpunded khadgar says something like "we must save him, for all we know hes the oldest living dragon on azeroth".

    Older than the 5 aspects created by the titans? Maybe my qow lore is alittle rusty but how can he be the oldest living dragon if 3 of the original 5 aspects still live?

    Dragon Aspects weren't the first dragons on Azeroth. They were chosen to become Aspects because of their battle against Galakrond. There were many other dragons before them, one of them could have lived till now. On some meds or something.

    The Aspects weren't created by the Titans; they were proto-dragons who were empowered by the Titans. Dawn of the Aspects clearly lays out their origins. Although I think it's a stretch, it's feasible that Senegos is older than the remaining, former Aspects.

    The (former) Aspects were not the first dragons, they were simply just 5 dragons whom the Titans (or rather the Titan Keepers, like Tyr) thought to be better than the rest, thus they granted them their powers.

    As far as I remember the aspects weren't created though, they were dragons that already existed (originally they were proto-dragons) that were later empowered and their forms changed to what we see now. There were certainly other dragons at the time, so it's entirely possible for there to be a couple that are older.

    But I thought the aspects were the parents and primogenitors to all the other dragons in their particular flight. IE, all black dragons are decended from Deathwing. There may have been black protodrakes, but they were never part of the black dragon flight because it split off. I'm not super familiar with the dragon lore though.

    Joking. As the others said, the Aspects were empowered. Senegos could have easily existed before they did or around the time that they did, allowing him to be the oldest dragon.

    There are some confusing aspects to the Broken Isles and maybe it's because I don't read any of the books, but it seems very settled already. There are druid cities, Gilnean towns, and a lot of infrastructure already set up. Did I miss something? When did everyone settle this? I though the Broken Isles were raised from the deeps just after the events of Warcraft 3; it hasn't been that long.

    Cataclysm was the major Dragon Lore info dump expansion, supplemented by the novels Thrall: Twilight of the Aspects, Dawn of the Aspects, and the short story Charge of the Aspects. If you're looking for more Dragon lore, those are the products to look into.

    From what I understand, only the Broken Shore/Thal'dranath was raised by Gul'dan, while the rest of the Isles always existed. While I'm not sure why we never heard about any of the zones, I believe Suramar was cloaked by magic until recently, hence why we didn't know it survived the Sundering.

    Titans didn't creat the aspects. They just choose the least dressed one and gave them power.
