So why did the Dragon Isles go to sleep anyway?

It’s not about speculation.

An example I mentioned was when you kept claiming a few weeks ago that Chronicle said Freya made the dragons, which it does not say at all. And you kept insisting it did even as others said otherwise. Dragon lore questions - #6 by Mithonic-wyrmrest-accord

In another thread just a couple days ago you said Tyr was still alive and in hiding, and his tomb is fake.

Then you said here that Tyr prepared for the Burning Legion specifically which the text didn’t say, it says a more general “any threat”, as you said in your later post.

You just tend to make statements without backing them up.
I don’t have a beef with you, and I’m not trying to be insulting or anything, I’m just saying if you’re going to make claims post a source.

I was partially wrong it was Eonar, and dragons are found on Elunara. Freya is an emanation of Eonar. I’m not sure where I found that lore, it may not have been chronicle, but it exists somewhere, in some previous interation of lore, because I remember it.

Keep in mind, I am not Wowpedia, I only have my memory of quests and lore to go off of, just like everyone else. But to claim I am universally wrong for getting one thing wrong is obtuse.

I’m not being rude, it’s just obtuse to expect anyone to know everything, and crucify them if they don’t.

Protodragons manifest from the elements, so it is possible they they naturally manifest on all planets with some degree of elemental instability. Elunaria may of had protodrakes before Eonar ever came there, and she simply turned them into something akin to the Azerothian emerald dragons. Or, that may of been Elune’s doing. The planet is named Elunaria, after all.

See, that’s where speculation comes in and I like that aspect of the lore. I’m pretty sure I stumbled on that lore on my NE druid and it is somehow tied to Elune and the Emerald Dream, but I can’t quote a specific quest, maybe it was G’hanir lore, I think it was tied to that, yes. G’hanir used to be for all flying beasts including dragons but some lore retconned that, making it only for Avianna and her flying kin.

Anyways that’s off topic.

Ultimately we don’t know what their deal is, yeah. Speculation just shouldn’t be presented like fact.

You don’t have to take my speculation as fact. That’s your choice. But I fail to understand how I am doing something wrong. Someone asked a question, I provided and educated answer.

Ive been playing this game, consuming this lore for 18 years. A lot has changed in lore between then and now. That’s probably more than half your life.

It’s my understanding that it was Malfurion’s sabotage of the Portal that caused the Well to go into a destructive feeback loop.

Oh yeah? I didn’t know that. But I also never read The War of the Ancients trilogy and that’s on me.

So Malfurion accidentally blew up the WoE?

He purposely disrupted the portal.

The Sundering was collateral damage.

Wow, there’s a lot of ‘ends justify the means’ in this game, not just from villains, from heroes too.

In a Crapsack World, heroes usually have choices only among a set of bad options. In Malfurion’s case, it was either let the Big Bad of the Burning Legion walk in to hang its hat or slam the door in its face. And there was no graceful way to do the latter other than to destroy it.

But, it did nearly kill Sargeras when the portal collapsed with him partly through it as well. He was recovering a long, long time which is why the Legion was so quiet on its interest in Azeroth. The sundering was awful but it inadvertently bought Azeroth many millennia of general peace from the Legion.

Because the security system worked too well. It wiped the existence of the Isle from the memories of the dragons themselves and only external forces woke up the Last Watcher.
