- Time to get magical with Khadgar, Kalecgos and the Blue Dragonflight within the Azure Span. Ohana means family, but the blues got quite the blues after the Cataclysm. Whas was their purpose in life? An question for each to answer on their own. The Dragon Isles now call and none seem to answer. Perhaps that's time to change... I hope you'll enjoy ^_^

The Visage of Senagos as a troll makes sense, trolls being one of the OG "natural" races of Azeroth, him being the oldest-no-aspect-dragon.
It just fits.
I bet Senegos was amongst the blue proto-drakes that were initially turned into blue dragons.
dragonflight lore is absolutely phenomenal so far, I love the addition of sindragosa
I’m annoyed how they characterize Kalagos…. He is seasoned… he has had years of adventures and had been a grown up for decades. He has zero confidence, is lost and kind of a whimp , it’s so bizarre. He is a Arch Wizard Magic Dragon blessed by Titan deitys. So dumb.
@@MrJara1018 He lost his first love, his mentor Malygos was driven mad and he was forced to see his already dwindling flight in a civil war, became Aspect only to lose the powers shortly after, his remaining flight scattered after the Aspects lost their powers, inadvertently caused the bombing of Theramore. His life has been full of loss. His doubt and lack of self-confidence is completely in character.
@MrJara1018 decades is nothing for a dragon.
I don't, why'd it have to be Sindragosa? there is 0 chance of any sort of development cause we already know she is dead, this was nostalgia baiting. could have easily been a new character we could have continued to do things with but nah that won't tempt the classic crowd over with member berries.
@@DaWoWzer it's not Sindragosa's story though. It's Kalec's. She works as a mentor for him to take on the role as the leader of the blues and her presence shows Kalec with the emotional weight of someone who has lived through a lot and feels lost. A new character wouldn't work as it wouldn't have the latter (nostalgia is also on Kalec's part) and also couldn't play the role as easily as the previous 2nd in command of the flight.
Seeing Sindragosa's Visage was tragic because she wasn't aware of what actually happened to her real self, she was unaware that Simdragosa was thrown and badly injured, called out for Malygos, tried and failed to reach Dragonblight, then was raised. The entirety of Dragonflight seems tragic because none of those on the Isles know that a majority of the dragons they knew died violent deaths or was tortured.
Sindragosa's visage is beautiful, and so is her personality. These things make her fate all the more tragic. Betrayed and murdered by Deathwing, only to be raised by the Lich King. I agree. The story of the Dragonflights is tragic, with betrayal, madness, enslavement, corruption, and inevitability. But one theme of the expansion is overcoming the tragedies of the past, and working towards a brighter future.
I think it was a typo but I will forever be calling Sindragosa's Visage 'Simdragosa' because of you.
When Senagos and his brood appeared I was delighted! A perfect conclusion the tragic story of the blue flight that I've been following since I was a child, hope rekindled
best part was realizing that Emmigosa (the adolescent dragon that arrived with him) is the whelp you saved in Legion
I actually shouted SENEGOS! when he appeared. Such a great moment especially since last we saw him he didn’t seem like he had that much fight left in him.
MILD SPOILER BELOW, WATCH THE VIDEO FIRST
Imho, Sindragosa's addition as an ally NPC is among the best parts of the Azure Span. She's given MUCH needed depth and it makes her use in wotlk much more tragic, to balance out the awesome of a frostwyrm. I absolutely love that we're shown a good side, and a motherly one. It makes sense considering we're dealing with the former queen.
Oh that entire dungeon is depressing. Well done, but good lord it's depressing. Loneliness, pain, abandonment, guilt, it's awful. Really well done but good lord it's just *awful* what happened to the characters in there. It is WoW's best written short tragedy.
The final boss in Azure Vault is amazingly well done, the VA and the story... so sad.
I really hope that the little dragon the flies down an roars at razageth was emigosa from legion, such a great introduction to how she/he has grown through out the xpansions
It was her, yes, she's a teen dragon now. Was nice to see her again!
It was indeed her, and it made me so happy! I still keep her on my action bar to this day.
You mentioned at the end of wanting to know more about the Sindragosa and Malygos. Back at the Camp Antonidas there is a side quest with vulperas exploring the towers and some runes. This quests do show a bit of their relationship in some nice poems.
Everybody who played through that Legion quest line and got their Emmagosa go's "Emmeeeeee! 😁 That's My Girlllll!". 'sniff' so proud.
I love the Tuskarr, they are such a wholesome people like the Pandaren.
Can we all agree that Sindragosa is one of the most beautiful NPCs they have ever designed? My jaw literally dropped when she appeared onscreen!
Its her look and her demeanor, very calm, motherly even
No
No... just no lol. Jainas is better, alexstraszas update is insane, all the aspects in general look crazy.. Kalecgos has a lot of animations in his ass too. Theyre far more detailed than sindragosas blood elf model lol
Nah, shes just a playable blood elf model with transmog
I agree, they did an incredible job with her
Loving that the Kirintor is a bit of a major player in helping the blues in their story.
Especially after being their primary foe and killing most of them during Wotlk
@@sheadon01 well it helps that their aspect is a Kirin Tor council member and besties with the leader (and 'dating' the former leader)
I never thought id care about the Blue flight this much, but the storytelling was phenomenal all around. Kalecgose’s separation from his fellow kin. The “memory” of Sindragosa. Senegos’ epic appearance. The lack of eggs at the Ruby life pools. Its like the history of their flight came together. I am now on board for Tuskar playable race!
If Sabellion has returned from Outland, I hope that means we’ll get to see Tyrygosa again too. Her with some Netherwing allies would be fantastic to see alongside the newly reformed Blueflight.
Didnt a big part of them get sniffed by Malygos?
Yes, they tried a coup and maligos Sniff them out of reality and gain sanity
Tyrygosa is on Azeroth though, we saw her in the Dragon Soul raid, while narratively speaking there's nothing preventing Tyri from returning , even though her Netherwing allies are gone as far as I recall. That said she would have been a poor choice for the Azure Span storyline due to how close she is with Kalec.
@@SampoPaalanenyeah if I remember correctly they were sorta betrothed at one point and close friends afterward. I do hope we see her later in the story.
This whole questline and the entire of Azure Span is just beautiful, the music and the bittersweet secrets the Azure Archives dungeon have. Right in the feels 🥲
If you want a little more information regarding Sindragosa and Malygos' relationship look no further than one of the side quests in Camp Antonidas, apparently that entire ruins was meant as a testament to their love. There is a lot of fun stuff going on in this expansion so far if you know where to look. Don't believe, the next time you are in Obsidian Citadel's basement, see about trying to check a book out from one of the cases. But only after you found a time capsule for an old dragon.
Its upsetting to me how alone Kalec is. Khadgar is the only one there for him. The two of them together held off an army of Primalists with practically no aid whatsoever, I'm glad that Senegos's family came to join him in the end.
amazing blizzard seems to be back finally...loving this lore series
No thanks feel free to pass it on to someone else 😂
The expansion and continuing of the dragon stories has been such a breath of fresh air
28:23
HELL YEAH! SENEGOS IS HERE!!!
I love how his visage form is a troll.
Fitting for one of the oldest non-aspect blue dragons to have his visage form be one of the oldest races on Azeroth
Tbh I thought he died when I went through Legion, glad he is alive though.
@@Eristasa After the storyline in Azsuna he slowly begins to recover, and he helps the players in the Balance of Power quest for the artifact weapon. Stellagosa helps with the nightborne, as Nobbel said. Was nice to see Emigosa as a teen dragon.
@@ImperiumNox That Stellagose and Valtrois quest line was so amusing. It also launched a thousand ships I guess.
Knowing the story of the azure archives and sindragosa and malygos and poor kalec and even umbrelskull, I got a lot of feels playing thru this zone. I adored seeing emmigosa I knew that name looked familiar when I saw her. Same with senegos.
I am loving Sindragosa, she is lovely.
Master Nobble, thank you for the year's of dedication and love you have put into your work! A new video here is a fine day indeed.
I've never like having the "big bad" show up at "every" major story event. Inevitably we will beat them at every turn. So, they presence evetntually feels more like "team rocket". A stumbling block to the story progress that we need to swat away.
Another thing occurred to me quite recently, I really do hope Tarecgosa's Rest will have a part to play in this expansion.
It's been years, and the intro still hasn't changed. Praise the gods lol
The Azure Span has been my favorite of the 4 areas in this fantastic expansion. Also, sindragosa's projection is fiiiiiiiine :D
Only two more blue dragons i'd love to see make a return now : Azuregos and Tyrigosa ! Oh and I almost forgot about Halehgosa (Haleh for short) current broodmother of the blues.
Sindragosa's VA is amazing!
Imagine how mind fucked Sindragosa is gonna be when kalygos tells her that she was a slave to arthas for awhile and caused massive destruction when she was brought back
An intriguing idea i agree, but i think that would only happen if she got her soul split (a-la Sylvanas) rather than an arcane hard copy of her before she left the isles. There is nothing for her to “meld with” that would cause backlash like with Sylvanas
Sindragosa gives me a "Mirage" vibe (Pixar's Incredibles, 2004).
Having said that, I'm a recent lore nerd - I love the cinematics but didn't know that was HER in the Wrath one. I had chills this entire story line. Plus the music, the updated arcane effects, the atmosphere, just chef's kiss. Thank you for these Nobbel!
love You Nobbel, videos like this bring me peace. Thank You
I love Kalecgos's character development in this zone. He's one of my favorite characters and it's really refreshing seeing something about him again! Especially IN GAME instead of in a book.
i loved this video. posting spoiler down below
umberskul was so tragic :(
Glad to see you enjoy the lore again
Vin Diesel: Family
Great stuff, as always Nobbel! I admire your dedication to the lore.
Think they could be bringing tarecgosa back as simulacrum now since her essence is in that staff 👍🏻
That could be a fun mini storyline for players that have the staff
Man this story gets me. I cried when I first played it and again from this recap.
I would bet money the next expac will feature the return of the old gods as our primary enemy and that expac will end with the Void Lord(s) coming into to destroy us all, that's who the jailer was trying to prepare for
If we don't get a tuskar allied race after this zone. I think there may be a player revolt.
Yes enlist the peaceful communal race as a member of one, or better yet two factions(since they're technically neutral) and make them ruthlessly kill eachother in the next faction war centered expansion. Would love that.
This is my favourite zone from this expansion.
Well. I learned something today so thanks for that!!
Kalecgos so far is the best part of the expansion, and I personally would argue that it’s not particularly close
Kalecgos looks kinda shy around Sindragosa, maybe there was some special relationship between them in the past (mentor, mother...)
She is the mate and advisor to Malygos himself. She was technically a "Queen" of the Blue Dragonflight
Shes basically the broodmother of the blues
He wasn't there during the War of the Ancients so he couldn't have known her
@@wassim_bn8750 That doesn't mean he hadn't heard of her or seen an Arcane holographic image of her. Kalegos also knows the Blue Dragonflight history very well.
@@ryankwon8785 that's not what I'm saying, I was merely responding to the op saying that there may have been something more between them by stating that it was impossible since they never even met each other (amongst other reasons).
"Look how thin you are" Kalec there casually with a bicep bigger than my head.
Why did they have to make the dragon say "mother im sorry" as its dying god thats a low blow. Always makes my lip quiver
N-notice me, Nobbel-senpai!~
Hello everyo - ROCKINGCHAR
@@Nobbel87 holy fucking shit
@@Nobbel87 I just got around to watching and you call the Drac'thyr, the Drek'thar early on in the video @ about 0:44 am I to believe there is an army of wheelchair using shaman in magical slumber???
Anyone else the very weirdly provocative "uh yeah" at 18:29? Just me, oh okay.
im not crying, you're crying.
Tuskarr seem to have a thing for soup.
What do you mean there's only soup?
It means there's only soup.
Soup is the way! It is easier to digest and transfers heat better to the body.
Is it me or is Kalecgos' new face kinda low poly.
And who is Sindragosa'a VA she sounds a bit like Claudia Black?
Kalegos voice line is anduin voice right? Also that music when khadgar was protecting you at start was the music at wod when the frostwolfs were fighting at the mountain cinematic but a remake of it correct?
Also sindra animation and appearance is the best they ever made to a char
Sindragosa is our dragon mommy 😍
its good to have nobbel back again now only if we would have the leveling back with furyw too
Danuser's revelation about the Chronicle being written from the Titan's point of view, Odyn's wrongdoings against Helya, and especially the books discovered in the Uldaman revamp has made many lore- nuts speculate that we're actually the bad guys for doing the Titans' bidding, and that the Primalists are actually the good guys rebelling against the system set up by the Titans.
Well, Danuser himself made it clear that the Primalists are NOT the good guys, and that we'll find out more as the story progresses. Here, they're torturing mages just for using arcane magic. The Primalists are so fixated on the "Titans are bad" -ideology, that they're committing literal war crimes because of it. There's a reason the Aspects had them locked up. They're extremists.
a gentle reminder: Deathwing killed Malygos' first wife.
but the player killed his Consort together with a red dragon, that Malygos in turn captured and brainwashed to be his new consort.
That we also killed.
Gral the loa? thats cool:D
Why does Sindragosa have the Visage of a genetic mix of a Blue Dragon and Black Dragon?
Is she supposed to be some kind of hybrid, or is Blizzard merely "trying to be inclusive"?
I don't get it.
That simulacrum scene of Sindragosa's Visage. It's not Order. It's something, not Arcan'e.
I think they put it in there to block my brain from understanding the rest of the story thereafter.
this part 28:35 was such an stupid moment in otherwise good scene
17:18 Someone at Blizzard clearly liked Moana
So the tuskars are worshipping the Loa?
It is an spirit being, considered a loa by the trolls. Same with Ohnara, we saw her in the Hunter Legion Class Hall.
Wait, did he just call the Gnolls kobolts at around 11:20 ?
goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood
I think this zone, the whole story of the Blue Dragonflight is well done.
You see Sindragosa how she once was. Which is beautiful and sad at the same time, since we know what happened to her. The Dungeon first time was actually emotional as well.
Seeing the blue dragons from Legion again was also really nice.
So far, writing is surprisingly good in this addon. I didn't expect it after the last addons, but till now? I am impressed.
the question is are the leyline really from Azeroth or samething that the Titan put into her since is more like Order (Arkan) Magic and it seem that elementar magic is only native magic zu azeroth
Damn, Sindragosa was pretty before she got turned into a flying nightmare.
Of course it had to be Sindragosa's ghost, cause blizzard is utterly incapable of creating even a single new character cause that might not give players a case of the member berries. it's getting really old and really annoying at this point.
I've stopped following WoW lore for years but just stopped in to say the only reason I clicked on the video is because the girl in the thumbnail looks really hot lol
kalec should hook up with a tuskar baddie.

Dumb question from someone not playing WoW for AGES: is Azuregos anywhere in this zone? He took over the Nexus last time we saw him, right? He's not dead-dead?
Yeah last we saw him he was cleaning up messes in the nexus. I don’t think he’s had any story parts since then.
@@abbiejo6822 Aw, shame, he's a vanilla legacy character, would be fun to see him around.
@@abbiejo6822
Now I’m imagining him using mops and other cleaning tools to clean up the nexus. All the while mumbling to himself xD
@@beastmaster0934 lol well there are plenty of magical brooms in the game, no reason why he shouldn't have an army of magical mops and scrub brushes!
@@nakenmil I actually didn't get the reference at first during legion during the artifact questlines where when we first show up in the nexus he thinks us adventurers are just there to kill him for loot again.
So what exactly was Kalecgos’s oath?
To get the blues back together to rebuild the archives
How about in an xpac Azeroth actually gets destroyed! Like Sargeras comes back and wakes the titan inside, or something, and we have to go to another planet that is totally different than Azeroth like a planet modeled after Jupiter or something and there we find a hella amount of different races and creatures with actual DIFFERENT models and skins: Not just redubs. The story can take four years or something and in the meantime we can be fighting for territory, fighting new bosses, doing favors for factions and returning back to the shattered pieces of Azeroth to rebuild the planter with azerite. Just a thought.
Malygos did nothing wrong.

With our new allied races and the new Dracthyr/evoker joining both factions what faction is strongest? 🧐
Doe sit matter? They're at peace and work together currently.
@@petrameyer1121 yes it always matters to be stronger then your enemy and just because there is “peace” they still need to be strong! Example if US and Russia worked together on something, then both countries still wanted to be stronger then the other
Kalecgos' visage form is so ugly lol
god Sindragosa has horrible uncanny valley vibes. they seriously couldnt make her look any better?
Is her being black a retcon?
She never had an official visage so no.
A retcon happens when you change something previously established, not when you reveal something new. So no in this case.
I can not stand Kalago’s character as of late . He is well past the “I don’t know who I am or what I’m doing “ phase. He is seasoned he has had years or adventures. He is a arch-wizard ,dragon lord, blessed by Titan Deitys….. it’s so dumb. He should be able to solo all the Primal Incarnates ….
Considering he gave up most of his power to defeat Deathwing, he cannot defeat her alone. Neither of the Aspects can, when alone. The Blue dragonflight was almost entirely decimated, their leader went crazy and had to be killed, Sindragosa died horribly 2 times, no wonder he's a wreck. He also didn't really get the chance to be tutored for his role as future Aspect, he also didn't really wanna become that, seeing what happened to both Malygos and Deathwing.
While I don't necessarily agree about how powerful he is, I'm absolutely in agreement about his character being insufferable lately.
I think you people have been putting a bunch of nerfed Dragons too high in a pedestal.
@@justinb7494 because they're expecting "dragonflight" In a "op or strong" stance but oh boi. They don't like how nerfed they are. While me is like meh
I like the lore but God chrome is a cringe fest now
Razageth has the worst voice actress of all time
