World of Warcraft: War of the Scaleborn, a Dragonflight Prequel Novel, Coming in October
World of Warcraft is continuing to tell stories from Dragonflight with the announcement of a brand new prequel novel coming this fall.
The book, titled World of Warcraft: War of the Scaleborn, is written by novelist and comics writer Courtney Alameda. Expanding on the lore and stories of the dragonflights, this prequel novel will cover some of the war of the dragons and its subsequent impact on the dragonflights and on the Dragon Isles.
The official novel announcement details the story that most will know by now, of how the dragonflights rose and shaped the world, under the Aspects–Nozdormu, Ysera, Alexstrasza, Malygos, and Neltharion.
“For while the Dragonqueen and her flights set to reshaping Azeroth, not all dragonkind sees order magic as a gift. Spurning the titans’ interference, a group of rebel primal dragons drink deep from the elemental powers of the planet and are reborn as the Incarnates. Led by Iridikron, the Incarnates believe that dragonkind should be subservient to no one. They foment a rebellion against the Aspects, what they are and all they stand for.
Despite the efforts of the Dragonqueen Alexstrasza and her primal friend, Vyranoth, to preserve peace, both sides slip closer to violence, as dragons are forced to choose a side or be swept up in the growing conflict. With battle lines and allegiances drawn, the war amongst dragonkind shakes the foundation of the world.
