Why you gotta do Wrathion like this, Blizzard?

Isn’t it because Ebonhorn/Ebyssian wa already a Horde character, they need someone similar that the Alliance coule trust?
“Oh, Wrathion is friend of Anduin just ignore that last time he punched him out.”
“But Anduin isn’t even there anymore.”
“Even better! Humans are use to black dragon telling them what to do!”

I don’t know, the way he was born of titan machinery, he started out wanting to kill other dragons, The Incarnates should consider him an abomination. It would be an interesting plot to explore for others to declare he isn’t even a dragon, Black Dragonflight or otherwise, but that might be walking the line too much for Blizzard.

The incarnates consider all titan dragons abberations, because they are. They aren’t a naturally occurring species, they require order magic to exist.

43

But they existed before Titan involvement. Wrathion only exists because of Titan genuinity. Really, Raszageth shouldn’t even address him. He should be below a dragonspawn in her eyes. But he actually stops her from killing Alexstrasza, proving he is at her level.

I don’t know, the whole Incarnate lore sucks IMO. They are pond scum leftover after the Elemental Lords lost to the Titans, who were bending the knee to the Old Gods(Void.).
And are pissy the Titans made these loser elementals stronger?

Why would anyone be a Primalist? It’s lower than kicking puppies. Following the Incarnates is following the beings the Titans considered sludge, not worth cleaning up, the Keepers were like, “you deal with this,” And Alexstrasza felt so bad she couldn’t kill him. (That part is weak. Is anyone talking about that? “I didn’t have the heart.” Time to retire. )

Wait, nevermind. Only reason Dragons exist is because of outside interference. No Old Gods, no Dragons. Neltharion used N’Zoth’s magic to stop the Incarnates… because they wanted to return the world to chaos.

Is that the point? Incarnates are just Old God aspects?

45

Hard to tell, though it would probably be unintentional on the Incarnate’s part. They seem to be pretty ignorant of the Old Gods considering Razsageth’s yelling about the Titans shackling Azeroth with zero mention of the Black Empire.

46

Dragons probably occur naturally but neither incarnates nor aspects occur naturally.

47

Even proto-dragons might not be fully natural considering they somehow go from being elementals to normal creatures which was usually a Curse of Flesh thing.

48

Idk. Curse of flesh didn’t happen on draenor, yet fleshy folks came from rock guys.

49

Thrall said the elements were different on AU Draenor, but they still let him turn Garrosh into playdough.

Then there is the whole Fey Dragon angle. Dragonmaw… “Don’t look under every blade of glass.”
Okay, but it was under…

50

Draenor life is even weirder than Azeroth’s curse of flesh.
The Evergrowth was unchecked and ran rampant. Aggramar was amazed at all this but knew it would doom the planet so he created Grond to combat the Sporemounds (esentially gaint evergrowth monsters). Their war cause the elemntals to take form as the Furies. Skip ahead a rediculous amount of fighting between them all and new life started forming from the fusion of elementals and spores.

Orgrimmar not recorded. He has been to Suramar though which is horde. He attended Lor’themar and Thalyssra wedding. He is a neutral entity who does what is best for him and his flight. Dragons have been shown on many occasion to openly or secretly act as a guiding voice for the different factions. Same way A dragon always sits on the Kirin’Tor council. Doesn’t mean they are allied to the Alliance (even when its not neutral).

52

Okay.
Now why did he go to Suramar?
:smirk:

So did an entire host of Alliance characters.

Goes to the Alliance first and only.
As he has repeatedly done for the past, what, eight years?

53

Before Titan involvement, they were proto-drakes. The uplift into Dragons is pure Titan shenannigans.

Since people have been asking;

Five keys to open our way

Aegis of Aggramar, Eye of Aman’thul, Hammer of Khaz’goroth, Tear of Elune, Tidestone of Golgannath.

Which, coincidentally, all go missing at the end of BFA. We know of one, the Tidestone, which then gets used to open the seal on N’zoth.

Where are the others? That’s one. Where’s the other four?

Five torches to light our path

The old gods do not lie to us, they deceive us with truths and riddles.

We’ve just spent time in this expansion turning on five beacons.

From the earth, he gains strength. Our earth. Our strength.

Something of the earth still serves the Old Gods. We know it’s not Deathwing, 'cause he’s dead by the time this prophecy is brought about. It could be Iridikron, but Blizzard likes to mislead with this sort of thing.

You know, people being insane/serving evil because reasons. Like Sylvanas, Garrosh, Kael’thas, Magartha, etc, etc. Surprise! They were bad guy all along.

The boy king serves at the master’s table. Three lies, he will offer you.

Anduin being bad guy would be a surprise, because honestly Blizzard seems afraid to make an Alliance villain. But thinking with meta is cheating, so instead;

We have two “boy” leaders. Anduin, who by now is a man in game, and Wrathion… who is still a young dragon by any measure.

What three lies Anduin could tell is beyond me. He’s not telling us anything at the moment.

But Wrathion? 1) That he’s helping the Horde/Alliance against the other, in Pandaria. What if 2) is his being uncorrupted, that he no longer hears the whispers? 3) Would easily then fit into being “N’zoth is dead, see, I stabbed him with this dagger that used to hold an old god in it.”

Oh yeah. The dagger. The dagger for Xal’atath. Xal’atath’s dagger. The dagger specifically for Xal’atath.

Which Wrathion is the one holding. In the instance that holds a buttload of nightmare & old god madness.

Which Wrathion the “uncorrupted” can manipulate because of his ties to Deathwing. But Deathwing couldn’t “manipulate madness”, he was just mad. The only ones who can decide to spread that madness or not are the lords of the Black Empire.

I have a lot more on this topic, but I figure to not overload and keep spoiling things.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Edit: Oh hey. Five torches lit. The First Flesh must remember their vows as they reclaim what was lost.
