Draenor Secrets of Azeroth Quest

Haven’t seen this anywhere, but how do we go back to Draenor? I thought we were cut off from it. We had WoD, then we came back. The Horde forces would later go back for a short stint to recruit the Mag’har orcs… but it didn’t go as planned because it was 30 something years later.

So did the bronze dragons get a resurgence in their powers due to the aspects getting their strength/power back? It seemed like in the mag’har recruitment quests that it was a hard thing to pull off a second time.

Plus if we actually did end up going back, I’m pretty sure we would have to go through Yrel’s huge light crusade army of dreanei, orcs, ogres, and arakkoa. So it seems silly to go back (assuming it’s the 30 year time period?) and not encounter their forces.

I know we can freely go to Draenor for gameplay reasons…. But I thought from a lore standpoint we were basically cut off.

Nozdormu has the power to visit whatever timeline at whatever point he chooses.

Yes

It is stated somewhere (I believe the death of chromie scenario) that when Nozdormu gave up his powers to help destroy Deathwing, all Bronze Dragons were affected as well. Limiting how far they could go back, or forward in time without the aid of powerful time-related artifacts. Such as the Vision of Time we helped build for Kairozdormu back in MoP.

For example, in the Death of Chromie scenario, she can only send us 15 minutes prior to her alleged death, instead of say four hours.

EDIT: Turns out I was wrong where it was stated, it was in the Visions of Time questline from MoP

The bronze dragonflight’s powers have diminished greatly - we can now only catch furtive glimpses through time. It is… quite frustrating.
