World of Warcraft: Dragonflight will serve as the ninth expansion for the 18-year-old MMO, and usher the return of the dragons to Azeroth. Dragon aspects were once the most powerful beings on the planet, but due to the events of Cataclysm they were weakened. While they have cropped up here and there ever since, dragons have not played a pivotal role in World of Warcraft for many expansions, and Dragonflight aims to fix that.
The return of the dragon aspects to World of Warcraft also means Dragonflight will be full of dragon lore. The dragons have had a long history on Azeroth, with not all of it being portrayed in-game. Many fans may be rusty when it comes to the specifics of the dragon lore, but World of Warcraft has received many tie-in novels over the years, and a decent amount of them have touched on the topic of dragons that could be read before the expansion rolls around.
The Biggest Features Coming with World of Warcraft: Dragonflight
Day of the Dragon is among the first of many dragon-centered books in the World of Warcraft universe. The book takes place after the Second War of Azeroth, and chronicles the events surrounding the freeing of dragon aspect Alexstrasza from the Dragonmaw clan. The clan captured the Dragonqueen and used the Demon Soul to force her to create more dragons. The story follows a mage named Rhonin as he goes on a secret mission to free her and gather the aide of the dragon aspects. The story also touches on Deathwing's manipulations behind the scenes, a character who World of Warcraft players should remember from Cataclysm. This book provides an interesting look into events of the Warcraft RTS games, and it received a re-release in 2019 that should make it easy to track down.
