WoW: Dragonflight: In-game cinematics explain the history of the Dracthyr

When we come into contact with the Dracthyr in the upcoming WoW expansion Dragonflight, a whole lot of new old lore awaits us. So that new players in particular can keep an overview here, there are apparently several in-game cinematics as part of the intro quest series that provide us with the most important information. These cinematics are not yet available in the alpha, but the associated interaction window already gives us the first clues as to what we can see in the cutscenes.

For a history lesson with the Dracthyr

As part of the quest “Lessons From Our Past”, which we complete at the beginning of our journey on the Dragon Islands, we speak to the Dracthyr “Scalecommander Emberthal”, who offers us three dialogue options. Each of these dialogue options lead to a separate cinematic dealing with the lore of the dragons and the dracthyr.

The first cutscene deals with the history of the Aspects, with the dialogue option referring directly to the novel “The Fall of the Aspects” by Richard A. Knaak. We therefore assume that this cinematic will summarize the story of the novel and detail the later aspects’ victory over the proto-dragon Galakrond. The novel also tells how the aspects gained their power, which will play an important role in Dragonflight.
