Book Spoilers: War of the Scaleborn

The preview pages I saw were the first two chapters.

  • Vyranoth’s disturbed at how their culture is ignored when four ordered dragons just openly approach her.
  • Saristrasz, Alexstrasza’s majordomo, outright said that Vyranoth spoke well for her kind showing her that some of ordered look down on their proto-dragon kin.
  • Vyranoth outright wonders why the dragons had to change at all to be of use to the titans.
  • Alexstrasza publicly pledging her allegiance to Tyr really rubbed Vyranoth the way wrong as she felt that she sacrificed of herself to show her commitment to the Titans. This feeling grows worse when she picks on that Alexstrasza heavily disagrees with Tyr on something and that Tyr defends it with wanting to make the dragonflights thrive.
    ** When it comes to Alexstrasza’s point of the view the manner, it’s revealed that it was about infusing order magic into the primal eggs and that the Dragon Queen very much felt like that it wasn’t a request Tyr was making, with Malygos outright calling it a command.
  • Alexstrasza outright promised her that Order magic would be a choice and not forced… and well we saw how that turned out.
  • Iridikron was reclusive and withdrawn, with Alexstrasza having never even seen him.
  • Neltharion and Iridikron were long rivals.
  • Fyrakk is considered a hothead who wants to fight and not a true threat. However Iridikron potentially joining him is a massive concern.
  • Alexstrasza outright says that the Aspects may lose Keeper support if they don’t go with Tyr’s request. Neltharion’s reaction is to curl his lips, leaving it vague as to how he feels on the comment.

All in all Vyranoth’s issues with what is happening are relatable and it seems a fear of Iridikron and Fyrakk working together against the Aspects is what ultimately moves Alexstrasza to allow Tyr and the keepers to infuse Order magic into primal eggs. She’s still unconformable with it and is really trying to not think about how she broke her promise to Vyranoth.
