Hello everyone!
I’ve uploaded the story of Dawn of the Aspects before, but back then my innocent self used
a bit of video material from the movie how to tame a dragon which the youtube copyright
system didn’t like.
Luckily we have Khallys who worked her magic to bring the story to life, so here’s the
re-upload of Dawn of the Aspects, I hope you’ll enjoy!
Alright, the whole set up is that the 4 aspects, Alexstraza, Ysera,Nozdormu and Kalec come
together at Wymrest temple as they always do.
However, since they’ve fulfilled their destiny, the older aspects don’t see the point.
Kalec, who only recently received his aspect powers wants the group to stay together, but
he fails to convince the others.
They plan to split up the wyrmrest accord with the next meeting…
Kalec flies over the bones of Galekrond, father of all dragons and inside the bones he finds
a strange artifact.
This artifact unwillingly drags him into the mind of past Malygos.
This has some nasty side effects on him since the relic is not working as it should, being
so close to the corpse of Galekrond has corrupted the device.
It takes controle over him, forces him to transform between dragon and human form and
it makes him fly around the world.
Eventually Jaina finds out about Kalec his predicament and she tries to find a way of
saving him.
As I said Kalec enters past Malygos his mind and with past Malygos I mean Malygos before
the aspects received their powers.
Malygos the proto-drake.
In this time the proto-drakes are still very primal.
Most can’t think beyond eat, sleep and reproduce, but some are starting to evolve to a higher
level.
The future 5 aspects, Malygos, Alexstraza, Yseraa, Nozdormu and Neltharion are ofcourse
amongst those evolved.
The problem that they are facing in this time is that Galekrond all of a sudden is starting
to hunt proto-drakes.
Galekrond is not a dragon, instead he is a mutated proto-drake.
What happened was that he become so big that the food in his area couldn’t sustain him.
To survive he started to eat his own kind and that even amongst these primal proto drakes
was not done.
This had a weird side effect.
One part is that he pukes out his victims and these victims become zombie drakes.
They hunger for flesh, they have an attack that melts flesh and they can bite others
to transform the disease.
Another effect was that it transformed him even more, made him even bigger and even more
hungry.
Eventually he would become so hungry that he would start to eat the zombie drakes, only
to puke them out again, but after being digested for the second time…yeah these drakes didn’t
come back to life.
Anyways, he became a threat to the proto-dragons so something had to be done.
The first fight was Galekrond VS the united proto-dragons and this was unique for that
time.
As I said they were still very primal, but one proto-drake managed to get them to work
together.
The first attack failed, but thankfully the future aspects survived.
The second fight was Galekrond VS Tyr and the future aspects.
For those that missed out on my titans and old god video, tyr was one of the keeper of
Ulduar.
He was not an Titan but a titan keeper.
It is rumored that Tyr was the one who lead the first humans, who descended from the Vrykul,
away from Northrend and into the rest of the world.
Tyr’s hand is for example named after him.
This is just speculation though so let’s focus on the facts.
In the story Tyr uses the artifact that Kalec found and he uses it to make a copy of the
memories of the aspects.
He then comes up with a plan to fight Galekrond together with the aspect, but they fail.
Tyr his hand gets bitten off and both his hand and the artifact go inside his stumic.
Round 3 was Galekrond VS the future aspects.
Although Tyr had a nice plan, it revolved around using his strengths instead of those
of the future aspects.
They come up with a plan that requires team work and makes the most use out of their individual
strengths.
Neltharion was physicaly very strong, Alexstraza was born to be a leader, Malygos was already
very smart, Nozdormu was punctual and had a great sense of timing and Yseera would dream
of things others would write off as impossible.
They fight Galekrond and with the use of their teamwork they save the day.
After that Tyr and the other keepers asks them if they want to be guardians of the world,
incase something like Galekrond would ever happen again.
This part was the whole reason why I was so interested in this story, but it’s very
vague.
I’ll read the lines out of the book that describe the titans:
Near them, two more hooded figures materialized.
the newcomers raised their hands.
He also suddenlty sensed that there was another, greater presence acting through the keepers,
that presence being the true force bringing about the proto-dragons coming transformations.
The Titans.
It is happening!
The blue dragon thought.
The titans are the ones overseeing the transformation, the creation of the Aspects!
As they raised their hands, the figures also changed.
They began to grow.
Their hoods and cloaks fell away, revealing four giants akin in appearance to Tyr when
he had fought Galakrond.
The keepers continued to swell in size, and their bodies glowed with tremendous power.
And that’s where it cuts off, after that Jaina drags Kalec out
of the visions.
Jaina saves the day, but she did not do it alone.
As she is searching for an answer, she goes to the same place as Kalec whent and there
she see’s a vision of a Taunka who gives her the key to fixing the Artifact.
Kalec also saw this vision as he found the item so it’s heavily suggested that this
vision is actually Tyr trying to help them.
Through out the story they also see glimmers of a hooded figure which once again implies
that Tyr is outthere…somewhere…
Like I said, Jaina manages to save Kalec and he decides to use the artifact as Tyr intended
for it to be used.
He brings the aspects together and he shows them the visions of their past.
Tyr suspected that there would have come a day where they would need a reminder of who
they were before they became aspects.
Even though they used up all of their powers, they were already something before they got
those powers so they can be something again.
It’s just a matter of finding a new place in this world and they decide not to disband
the wyrmrest accord.
And there you go that’s the short version of the story.
There are a couple of lore things that I would like to summarise.
Galekrond is not the father of all dragons.
The titans are the ones who transformed proto-drakes into dragons.
They led this myth exist to avoid having to explain about how he ate all of his fellow
drakes and what not.
To the question what will happen with the aspects?
They used all of their aspects powers to defeat Deathwing so there’s no longer a keeper
of time or a guardian of the dream…that’s gone and they are also mortals.
We don’t know how old they can get because no dragon has ever died of old age yet.
That doesn’t make them powerless though.
They had qualities and powers ever before they became aspects so they atleast have that.
They will also always have a certain connection to their aspect like Alexstraza will always
treasure life and Kalec will always be drawn to magic that’s just something that’s
part of them.
What will their roll be in this world?
Who knows, but you can be sure that when blizzard needs them, they’ll part of a story again.
The battle with Galekrond is where Tyr lost his hand and it’s suggested that Tyr is
still somewhere outthere.
It’s not explained why he abandonded his watchers tower or why he escaped the corruption
of Loken.
I think that the theory of him guiding the early humans might not be so crazy.
As I’ve told you guys before, Neltharion fell victim to the whispers of the old gods
because he was the aspect of earth, he had a connection to the places where the old gods
were locked up.
How ever in the story it becomes clear that Neltharion already heard the whispers of the
Old Gods even before he received his powers.
There’s a minor bit of reference to this.
As the titans ask the aspects if they want to become guardians, Neltharion stares off
into the distance as if he’s listening to something that isn’t there.
That doesn’t mean that his powers didn’t push him over the edge, but it was nice to
see that they were already working his mind.
We can be sure that the titan keepers have the ability of communicating with the titans
since they summoned the titans to grant the powers.
This does create some questions in my mind though as in…why didn’t they call in the
help of the titans before?
Why didn’t they tell the titans about Deathwing as he attack Wyrmrest temple or why didn’t
Raden contact them when they fell silent?
We could speculate on answers like maybe the titans are testing us, maybe they’re training
us or maybe something interily different happened.
“We have fallen”
That’s the end of my story, now this is just the short version...
