Exclusive War of the Scaleborn Extract - Vyranoth and Raszageth Following the Storm
War of the Scaleborn is the latest World of Warcraft novel, detailing the lengthy war between the ordered Dragonflights, led by the Aspects, and the Primal Dragons, led by the Primalist Incarnates. We've received an exclusive extract from this novel to publish!
In this scene which takes place early in the novel, we see Vyranoth struggling with Alexstrasza and the others' decision to become Ordered — changed by the Titan Keepers.
Not yet a Primalist Incarnate herself, Vyranoth is approached by Raszageth — who recently became one — and we see how the friendship develops between these two, with Raszageth offering Vyranoth a sense of escape during troubled times.
The keepers found Vyranoth and her primal kin wanting. They found the whole of the world wanting, which was why they forced their order upon it.
But the planet was already perfect in its innate beauty—why should it be forced to submit to the titans’ whims? Why should Alexstrasza and her flights hold the titans’ views so much higher than those of their own kind?
After all, hadn’t the illustrious Tyr failed to defeat Galakrond? Hadn’t five primal dragons, working together, found a way to fell that beast? And if Vyranoth knew the story true, why then did Alexstrasza feel she needed the titans’ power at all? How had her own strength not proven sufficient?
These were the thoughts that rolled in Vyranoth’s mind, day in and day out, as seasons passed. While she could certainly understand the Aspects’.
