Offshoots of the Dragonflights have popped up a few times, but what do you guys think of the possibility of a sixth or perhaps even more fully fledged dragonflights being introduced? What colors would they be? What would be their spheres of influence/powers?

Well we do not have a Light based flight. I can see someone (maybe Yrel) capturing Dragons and forcefully Lightforging them to serve her. Maybe after she is defeated, the new Light-flight is freed and becomes their own independent flight.
No real fit for one really. I don’t see any blank spots on the Master Oathstone. We’re also kind of short on Titans to make a new Flight.
The spheres of influence that the flights represent all seem kind of random. Life, Time, Earth, Arcane and Growth. It’s kind of hodge podge that leaves other elements kind of rolled into the flights that don’t necessarily represent that power.
Blue dragon flight is often associated with ice, because…blue? Both the reds and blacks make extensive used of fire, but isn’t it odd that there’s no flight dedicated to these natural elements other than earth?
I would like to see a set of elemental flights rise up in response to this primal incarnate threats. a water Dragon Flight. Water especially seems odd in its absence.
The dragonflights were supposed to be linked to the Titans that gave them their power. So you’d need to add an extra Titan first. Even so, Red and Green are getting very blurred. And what is magic(Blue, Arcane), if everything they do is magic.
Having a Light or Void Dragonflight means you need a source. Which, doesn’t seem to align with Titan powers, so they would be more of an off-shoot, or something they’d just snuff out.
Dragons are supposed to be elementals made flesh, so if they are, say Fel based you’d know someone else had their hands in the creation.
I’ve been hoping to get information about white dragons.
Actually it’s Life, Time, Earth, Arcane and Dreams.
Furthermore it’s implied Dreams only has a Plant-theme because Ysera was a Spirit-Elemental Proto-Dragon what-with her spitting Acid which is tied to Spirit what-with the Sporemounds’ descendants using Acid regularly(the Sporemounds were born of Spirit by the way).
Blue Dragonflight has Ice mixed with it’s Magic because Malygos was an Icy Protodrake, the Bronze Dragonflight uses Sand in combination with Time because Nozdormu was an Earth Protodrake, Neltharion was a Lava Protodrake so the Black Dragonflight uses Lava and Earth. Alexstrasza was a Fire Protodrake so she got Fire and Life.
The Primalists infusing the Elements into 5 Eggs of the 5 Great Dragonflights naturally replaces the natural Element first followed by the Titan-taint.
The Titans themselves noticed that infusing a Proto Dragon with a different Element from the original causes them to become that different Element with no trace of the previous Element. That is why Iridikron doesn’t seem to have eaten Raszageth’s corpse and instead induced Fyrakk to bathe in the Shadowflame…
In the case of the Egg saved by Sendrax with her life the Egg was infused with more Fire so the Life taint was removed making the resulting Dragon pure Fire.
Since the other Eggs had different Elements from the original infused into them that means they still have their Titan-chosen Concept but aligned with another Element.
The Ruby Egg became Life(Red) and Storm(Violet) combined(Magenta) instead of Life(Red) and Fire(Orange) combined.
The Emerald Egg became Dream(Blue) and Earth(Brown) combined instead of Dream(Blue) and Spirit(Yellow) combined(Green).
The Bronze Egg became Time(Yellow) and Ice(Azure) combined(Cyan or Yellow-Green) instead of Time(Yellow) and Earth(Brown) combined(Bronze).
The Azure Egg became Magic(Purple) and Earth(Brown) combined(Dark Purple) instead of Magic(Purple) and Frost(Blue) Combined(Indigo).
