Expansion Idea: Return of the Dragons

[BeeMaister]

With all of these leaks for a Dragon Isles expansion it got me thinkin of sharing this Expansion concept i made on the WoW Forums about several months ago. enjoy.

World of Wacraft: Return of the Dragons.

Main story: Brann Bronzebeard and his Explorer's League discover the long lost dragon isles after digging through a lost titan hall in ulduar. with backing from the alliance and horde, he and a few adventurers set sail to discover
the mysteries of an uncharted landmass on the other side of azeroth. there they discover the mysterious beauties of the dragon isles, which calls to the aspects and has changed through time. venture forth, explore the isles, face
new threats and uncover the secrets left behind by the titans.

The Dragon Isles - Few know about the dragon isles, and few have ever been there, until now. these isles were a sacred community to the dragons of azeroth, all the dragonflight protectors of azeroth would gather and rest on
these beautiful islands. many years have past and the isles have since changed. now the isles call out for adventure, as the dragon aspects return to these forgotten lands, to recover their lost kingdom and discover some new
secrets hidden below.

ZONES:

Strazalius - the main capital of the dragon isles, resting at the very middle. a place for all dragonflights to unite and fly together. The dragons need their lost medallions to unite their dragonflights.

Jatrazan - Once a Green Dragonflight resting ground, green dragons from all across azeroth would rest in beautiful forests and meditate in the emerald dream. this would all change with the arrival of the Goldcog Cartel of Kezan,
Led by the enourmous Trade King Jatrazix. when they discovered the land was atop a huge Cavernous System of Kaja'mite, The goldcog goblins drove out the green dragons, stole their eggs, and turned their beautiful forests into an
industrial, urban Trade City. running with Goblin Gangs, Tainting Factories, Trade Ports, a giant Refrigerator, Marts, wacky Rockets, green dragon groves untainted by industry, and the most devistaing goblin technology powered by
the potential of Kaja'mite. with the help of the former trade prince gallywix, The Trade king seeks the green dragon medalion to rid his green dragon nuisance, as well as use its power to duplicate their dwindling kaja'mite supply
and rule all goblin cartels. the green dragons must take back their beautiful groves from greedy goldcog hands. but to get to the trade king, you'll have to "fire" some of his high ranking execuitves.

Ku'mongra - A Tropical Archipelago inhabited by the Kalu'Toa Tuskarr tribe, the black dragons once had a presence here laying eggs, and living in peace with the locals. but when the cataclysm happened they were driven to madness
and hunted to death by the Kalu'Toa. a dark fire tribe of Tuskarr called the Ragni'ak are attempting to summon their goddess, the lost daughter of ragnaros using the black dragon medalion in their volcano temple.

Norgannos - The snowy Planes of Norgannos are home to the largest Source of Mana on the dragon isles, and the lost titan well of Uldorus, where all azeroth's ley lines lead to. The Blue Dragon Medallion must be used to Depower the
Norganni Well and drive the mad arcane forces coming from Uldorus. the explorer's league is involved. there are also ley-mad yetis.

Zothura - the former land of the Red Dragonflight, now a bastion for a small remainder of the Twilight's Hammer clan led by a son of cho'gall, jukngar. Jukngar is attempting to ascend into an old god by using the red dragon
medalion to communicate the outer void gods. he must be stopped.

BESTIARY:

D.O.Z.E.R - Inspired by an old Goblin legend, Dog Of a baZillion Excavational Resolutions or D.O.Z.E.Rs are large beasts used as excavation machines by the Goldcog Cartel and later a Goblin's best friend. they resemble a large
mechanical Bulldog with sharp dagger-like claws and a strong excavational jaw that can crush stone, or the bones of tresspassers.

Body-Mook - Hobgoblin lackeys enhanced with alchemy to be more bigger, stronger, and more competant than their oaf counterparts. they are often armored with goblin machinations, and used as body guards.

Shoveltusk - easily identified by the massive curved antlers and tusks, Shoveltusk live in the jungles of Ku'mongra. they are used by the Kalu'toa as mounts.

Octobear - Octobears are mammals rumored to be birthed from the old gods, but this is only a theory. Octobear's can hunt on both land and in water with their powerful claws and gripping tentacles.

[Archimonde of Despair]

Idea sucks, don’t design anything. Thanks.

[Ghanir]

There sure is a lot to digest here; the Lightforged Galakrond esp. had me stumped.

[Golden Yak]

Dense post, but there are some fun ideas here. I like the idea of a goblin trade cartel clashing with the Green Dragonflight, and the tropical volcano goddess connected with Ragnaros. The image of Turalyon riding a lightforced Galakrond is also pretty amazing, though I too am wondering how that came to be.

[Azadina]

What next? Revenge of the Dragons? The Dragon Awakens? The Last Dragon? Dragons Strike Back?

[MrLachyG]
