    Dragonflight Legacies

    Chapter 1:



    Chapter 1 seems to introduce Nozdormu to one of the newly-awakened dracthyr, and relates a brief version of the story of Dawn of the Aspects to them - how the Aspects started off as proto-dragons, fought Galakrond, and as a reward for vanquishing a threat to Azeroth were given the gift of evolution and became the progenitors of Azeroth's modern dragons.

    Chapter 2:



    Nozdormu transports Emberthal, the dracthyr warrior, back in time to witness crucial moments in the history of the Dragon Aspects. A cautionary tale of both corruption and sacrifice. Chapter 2 basically covers a brief history of Neltharion/Deathwing - including a look at his pre-corruption Visage form.

    Chapter 3:



    Having shown Emberthal the Dragon Aspects’ rise and fall, Nozdormu takes her on a final trip back through time… so that she may unlock the mysteries of her own past.

    Feel free to discuss.

    Is this really anything didn't know? We already were shown in the novel Dawn of the Aspects how Galakrond was defeated. Unlike Warbringers or Afterlives this is nothing new.

    Nothing new. Dracthyr advertisement.

    Truely i hoped we will see something more interesting.

    All this glakarond, or aspect stuff was seen in 1k comics or fan projects.

    Yeah, this is pretty much just a retelling of Dawn, albeit with the curious omission of Tyr's role. I would imagine the other chapters have new information.

    I also got to say the Stakes are really low. No overaching villain yet. The main antagonist of the Dracthyr starting zone gets dealt with in the first raid. Blizzard needs to show us some motivation why we really need to go to the dragon isles beyond(Well there is loot and new dragon models!). I hope down the line they pull a Bfa and turn around and instead of the obvious conclusion they bring a suprise element like light invasion from Yrel or some shit.

    My current hypothesis is that there's a person behind the resurgence of the Primal Incarnates, using them as a sort of magician's hand to distract the Aspects at some critical point and/or disguise their machinations until it is too late. The smart money, I think, is on Murozond - who's also part of the end-game questing in Thaldraszus, when we help stabilize the Bronze sanctum from an incursion of the Infinite Dragonflight (who seem to be there in an attempt to ensure Murozond is realized). It hasn't been revealed out of hand yet because the writers want to make it a surprise in the expansion's later story, so we'll see how it actually shakes out.

    This world don't give us nothing. It be our lot to suffer... and our duty to fight back.

    Well one of the final boss encounters for the expansion will be Murozond, that much is quite obvious, he hinted that his destiny is written so something is going to happen that changes Nozdormu into Murozond within the patches of the expansion and enters the timeways to create the infinite flight.

    would be nice if there's something players can actually do to stop that fate. Story screws Dragons enough as is.

    It is suprising that the dragons who have already been dealt with now have a huge come back. Maybe Blizzard plans on giving the aspects their powers back and become Azeroth's protectors once more.

    Would be interesting if we get an attack of something akin to a divergent timeline. Which is touched on with competing timelines in the Thaldraszus quests, such as one where everyone's a murloc, or another where the Primalists have taken over presumably all of Azeroth. Murozond could conceivably attack his alternate self, our Nozdormu, in such a way that we end up with the true Aspect of Time and his maddened alt. future counterpart duking it out, and perhaps even ending up with a resolved timeline where Nozdormu manages to remain himself while still fulfilling his stated destiny. He did become Murozond, just not in the linear and permanent manner that he thought from his visions of his fate.

    no Tyr
    no Galakrond choking with a big rock
    no Titans that infuse Aspects
    and everything else we already knew

    disappointed tbh

    This is pretty much meant to be insert near the end of the Dracthyr leveling experience when we prepare to depart the zone and we find Nozdormu has shown up at the spot Emberthal had us fall back. The fight scene with Galakrond was imo lackluster; looking at it, it makes no sense how they ever defeated him. No idea why Tyr doesn't show up at all and the empowerment of the aspects . . . I expected something epic?

    Largely found it lackluster and will not remember it.

    Quite meh. Told us nothing we didn't know about anything or anybody.

    Harbingers, Warbringers and Afterlives started with bangers in the form of Gul"dan, Jaina and Bastion/Uther. Not the case this time around.

    Was ok. They summarized too much imo. Feel like these legacies cinematics are just going to be a presentation for the dracthyrs.

    We knew about Uther thoughh, his defeat at the hand of Arthas. Minus the soul split AND being shown the Shadowlands/Basion. Also these scenes aren't just for us, its for every Warcraft fan so Cataclysm related stuff may be forgotten by this time.

    His presence in Bastion, the soul split, his vengeance on Arthas, the start of Devos's corruption. Things happened and we had insights. Not world-shattering ones but it felt like setup. This feels like a recap.

    "unlike warbringers" what in warbringers was new?
    Everything in them we had seen already, we already knew jainas story
    we already knew what happened with azshara
    we already knew sylvanas burned the world tree down.

    this is like them to catch people up, to those who didnt read these ancient books or play the oldest versions of the game.
