my one image summary for the book
Only “new” specific lore, or interesting bits otherwise:
- Merithra’s section doesn’t mention she’s the aspect explicitly, Ebyssian’s does
- Incarnates section states they gave themselves their powers via a ritual, which is how it is presented in Scaleborn War novel; this CONTRADICTS the in-game presentation of Tyr forcing the Incarnates into their elemental powers via experimentation in the 10.0 Dragonscale Expedition questline; NOTE: DF launched November 2022, War of the Scaleborn was released October 2023, this book was released just now; I assume there was a post-launch pivot on the etiology of how the Incarnates came to be because of the reception the players had to the various “Tyr Evil Scientist” threads
- Khadgar speculates that Fel or Void is involved in the creation of Dragon Ascendants, which are somehow different than the other Drakonids also created from mortals
- Primalist Tasarek are stated to be given a choice between elemental infusion or staying normal; Dragonflight Tasarek are forced to accept arcane “acceleration” to serve the flights
- Dragon eggs develop spikes and stone like shells when ready to hatch
- Dragons reach full adulthood at 10 years of age
- Khadgar says Elves have “superior intellect” to Trolls and that Trolls were lead to the well of eternity by a fairy dragon
- Druids affirmed to have existed prior to Malfurion
- Druids could access the emerald dream but with great effort and deep meditation prior to Ysera binding Nelf Druids to the Dream
- Hakkar’s blood is seemingly retcon’d as not causing Nightmare corruption
- Khadgar incorrectly states because Blizzard incorrectly believes Oral Histories are not primary sources
