“I believe that you will find that my gift to you is not just a profound duty—which it is—but also a delight—which it is! Magic must be regulated, managed, and controlled. But it must also be appreciated and valued and not hoarded. Such is the contradiction you must deal with. May you be dutiful ... and joyous both.”

Norgannon's blessing of the Blue Aspect[3]

The blue dragonflight is a draconic organization led by the eponymous blue dragons to uphold their creed of managing and watching over the flow of magic and arcane in the world of Azeroth. During the ordering of Azeroth, the titan Norgannon blessed Malygos and his flight with power over the arcane and the duty of ensuring it would never be abused.[4] Malygos and his mate Sindragosa ruled the blue flight until the War of the Ancients, when the crazed Deathwing used the Demon Soul to wipe out the majority of the flight, leaving only Malygos and precious few eggs left. The event left Malygos both weakened and depressed.

The flight slowly but surely recovered over the millennia, until the ambitious young dragons Kalecgos and Tyrygosa attempted to bring Malygos out of his stupor. They were successful, but rather than lead their flight as the noble and wise leader they had hoped for, Malygos was appalled at what he saw as the overuse of magic in the world. Rallying his flight and all the mages supporting his cause, Malygos began the Nexus War, seeking to subjugate or wipe out all magic usage on Azeroth. He was opposed by many mortal organizations, such as the Kirin Tor and the other dragonflights under the Wyrmrest Accord; the war ultimately ended in the Aspect's demise.

After the death of Malygos, the blue dragonflight had to choose a leader who would become the new Aspect of Magic. It was ultimately narrowed between Malygos' son, Arygos, and the dragon Kalecgos; though the former ultimately sided with Deathwing, leading to his demise. Chosen by his kind and empowered by the Embrace, Kalecgos became the new Steward of Magic among the Dragon Aspects. After the end of the Cataclysm and the destruction of Deathwing, the blue dragons were left in a state of disarray. More and more left their home at the Nexus daily, until finally Kalecgos declared the flight disbanded and all blue dragons free to follow their own individual desires.

Several years later, during the awakening of the Dragon Isles, Kalecgos realized his error and pledged himself to reunite his flight. He set out with the aid of his allies to bring the various blue dragons of the world back together; aided primarily by Senegos, Stellagosa, and the simulacrum of Sindragosa. This reunited the dragonflight once more as a family, vowing to uphold their oath.

Culture[]

The blue dragonflight, while ruled by Malygos, the lord of magic, was all but devastated by the evil Deathwing and his black dragonflight. Though there are few great blue dragons left in the world, their magical powers are awesome to behold. Native to Northrend, the few blues stay relatively close to the great Dragonblight, where they commune with the ancient dragon spirits who died in ages past. Their freezing breath and gargantuan claws have been the death of many hapless travelers in Northrend.[5]

Azure Oathstone

The Azure Oathstone of the blue dragonflight.

Magic is what most concerns the members of the blue dragonflight. Acquiring it, researching it, cataloging it. Blue dragons are masters of the arcane and they wield it with a natural, almost intrinsic, ease. Even the flight's dragonspawn armies are flush with magical aptitude. The blues believe that with this power comes a certain responsibility and so members of the blue flight can often be found in positions policing and monitoring the use of magic by non-dragons. However, as they love their rules, they have a hard time understanding that sometimes you just need to let something "grow".[6]

Their traditional home is Coldarra in Northrend,[7] where they remain close to the great Dragonblight. Historically, blue dragons have had a reputation for spending their days in solitary contemplation of the secrets of the world, but in recent times blue dragons have proved to be more social due to the growing threats to all living creatures. Their approach towards mortals, specifically arcane spellcasters, can vary anywhere from amiable curiosity to outright hostility.

Of all the dragonflights, the blues are the ones most drawn to order and calmness. Ironically, this made them the ones least able to deal with the chaos caused by Malygos' insanity and eventual death.[8]

After Tyrygosa exposed Malygos to the nether energies of the nether dragons, Malygos' insanity was calmed. Unfortunately, this led to the brutal Nexus War, as Malygos rallied his flight to oppose all magic being used in the world, as he decided it was far too rampant. In the aftermath of the war, the blue dragonflight was left shattered and without a leader. To make matters worse, one of the lead candidates, Malygos' heir, Arygos, sided with their ancient enemy, Deathwing, in order to try and take command as the new aspect of magic. While this ultimately led to Arygos' death at the hands of Chromatus, it traumatized his sister, Kirygosa. Kalecgos was chosen to lead their flight, though he eventually chose to disband the flight, an action he would later come to regret. Azuregos and several other dragons have criticized his decision heavily, with Azuregos becoming the steward of the Nexus to ensure that the various secrets that were abandoned within it would not be abused by mortals.

Despite the disbanding of the blue dragonflight, some clutches still remained, such as the Azurewing, led by Senegos. This group of dragons included many dragonspawn, led primarily by Agapanthus, and shepherded what they believed may be the last clutch of whelps for their flight at the time.

Blue dragonkin are sometimes referred to as Azure, Cobalt or Sapphire. When taking humanoid form, most blue dragons prefer to transform into humans,[9] though dwarf, gnome and quel'dorei guises are also common.

Nomenclature[]

Members of the blue dragonflight most often have names ending in "gos" for males, or "gosa" for females. Sometimes synonyms of the word "blue", or terms relating to spellcasting find their way into their names as well.

Membership[]

Bluedragonflight

Various members of the blue dragonflight.

The blue dragonflight is primarily made up of, as the name implies, blue dragonkin. These include the blue dragons themselves, but also blue-scaled variants of drakonid and dragonspawn. They later come to accept dracthyr among their ranks as well during recruitment at Algeth'ar Academy.

A number of mortals have been shown to serve the blue dragonflight, primarily among Malygos' Mage hunters. They employ strange hounds, also known as magehunters, which aid them in hunting down renegade mages. After the Nexus War, the blue dragonflight has been shown working extensively with the Kirin Tor, a group their aspect is also a leader of.

History[]

BlueDragon1

A blue dragon in Warcraft III.

Charge of the dragonflights[]

Before the Titans departed Azeroth, they charged the greatest species of the world with the task of watching over it. In that age, there were many dragonflights, yet five flights, one of which was the blue, held dominion over their brethren, and were chosen to shepherd the budding world. The greatest members of the Pantheon imbued a portion of their power upon each of the flights' leaders. Norgannon, the Titan lore keeper and master-magician, granted the blue dragon, Malygos, a portion of his vast power. From then on, Malygos would be known as the Spell-Weaver, the guardian of magic and hidden arcanum.[10]

The time following this came to be known as the age of dragons when the civilization of dragonkind was at its peak.[11]

Aluneth[]

At some point, while manipulating the fabric of reality, the wise and mirthful blue dragons tapped into another realm of existence and made contact with the strange arcane entity called Aluneth. The blue dragons loved unraveling mysteries and delving into the secrets of the universe. They were so intrigued by Aluneth's existence that they summoned the entity into the world for further study. Aluneth immediately went on a rampage through the blue dragons' lair, the Nexus. The arcane presence destroyed countless rare artifacts and tomes of power before finally being contained. The dragons were not angry about what had happened--they were delighted by Aluneth's capricious nature. After years of conducting harmless experiments on Aluneth, the blue dragons satisfied their curiosity and sent the entity back to its own realm. Later, the gifted sorcerer Meitre learned from a blue dragon about Aluneth.[12]

War of the Ancients[]

WoW-novel-logo-16x62 This section concerns content related to the Warcraft novels, novellas, or short stories.

When the night elves inadvertently called the Burning Legion to the world, the blue dragons were among the first to realize the potential threat; and when the Aspect of the Earth, Neltharion, suggested creating a magical artifact to aid in the destruction of the demons, the blues were some of the first to agree to the plan. Malygos himself was one of Neltharion's closest friends and staunchest supporters, and he gave much of his own essence toward the creation of this object, called the Dragon Soul.

When each dragon had contributed a portion of his or her essence to the artifact, Neltharion deemed it complete. The blues joined the other dragons in flight over the battle and the Black Aspect brought the Dragon Soul to bear against the Legion, with devastating effects on the demonic swarm — but only for a precious few moments. He then shocked his fellow aspects and turned the artifact against the terrified night elves as well, and finally his own brethren. The shocked dragons were helpless to resist the power of the Dragon Soul, for it contained a fraction of the essence of each — with the exception of Neltharion himself. All the dragonflights, save Neltharion's own, were paralyzed in midair until the timely intervention of Korialstrasz, a mate of the red dragonqueen, who had been absent from the initial use of the artifact. While Korialstrasz was no match for the Aspect of Earth, he did manage to interrupt Neltharion's concentration for a moment, freeing the other dragons from their paralysis and allowing them to act. Malygos, infuriated at the betrayal by his ally, struck first, but at a great price. As the blue dragonflight flew into formation to attack Neltharion, the mighty black wyrm unleashed the full fury of the Dragon Soul against them, and the power instantly slew nearly every one of them. As the other dragons turned to act, Neltharion retreated, leaving the blue dragonflight broken in his wake.[13]

During the struggle, Malygos had been thrown from the battlefield and survived, but his prime consort Sindragosa died from her injuries after being flung far into the icy north, including many others blue dragons.[14] Wounded and shocked, the remaining blues and the other noble dragons were forced to abandon their mortal allies. The dragonflights secluded themselves, hoping to recover from the Dragon Soul's powers, but the damage to the draconic race had been done. The Kaldorei and their allies just barely managed to defeat the Legion but at a great cost. Azeroth was sundered.[15]

Korialstrasz teleported himself to the icy caverns of the blue flight to search for any remaining life. He found none, save a few nearly frozen, but still intact, eggs. Knowing these eggs were the only hope of a future the blue flight had, Korialstrasz placed them in a pocket universe, where time ran ever so slowly, until he could pass them on to someone he could trust.[16] One of those eggs contained Arygos.

Aftermath of the Sundering[]

Deathwing's betrayal was so destructive that the five dragonflights never truly recovered.[15] If that had not been enough, the ensuing war between the dragonflights decimated the species, and the blues lost many of the few they had left. They would never again be seen in the same numbers as before. The age of dragons had passed.

After the loss of most of his children and mates, Malygos hid out in his lair at Coldarra for thousands of years, slowly going mad.[7] Perhaps Malygos's last sane act was placing many of his surviving dragonkin in the caverns of Mazthoril to hold eternal vigil over the sacred site of Mount Hyjal, location of the world tree Nordrassil and the second Well of Eternity. After that he isolated himself in his lair, refusing all visitors, while his presence in the world diminished over time.

A few remaining blues continued their lord's study of magic throughout the millennia. The Arcanomicon, a map of the world's ley lines gifted to Malygos ages ago by the titan Norgannon, was continuously updated and revised by the blue dragons over the long years of Malygos's seclusion.[17] Mighty blue wyrms, such as Sapphiron and Azuregos, continued to search for and hoard artifacts of great magical power, keeping them from inexperienced hands.[18][19] When the legion was planning its second invasion of Azeroth, another agent, Arcanagos, attempted to sway the Guardian Medivh away from the path he was taking under the control of the Dark Titan, Sargeras.

Attack on Moonsong

Blue dragons descend on the Highborne in the forest of Moonsong.

In 6,000 BDP, the isolated Shandaral Highborne witnessed members of the blue dragonflight using spells to crystalize living things and draw power from them. The dragons did that out of curiosity, and the elves saw a way to end their suffering. The Highborne attempted to interact with the dragons, but they ignored them or showed hostility towards them. As a result, Highborne sorcerers infiltrated the Nexus and succeeded in stealing the knowledge of dragons' techniques. Their greed, however, drove them to steal artifacts and triggered magical wards, sending blue dragons into a frenzy. Although the elven thieves managed to escape, soon the dragons' retribution came to Shandaral. The Highborne sorcerers gathered on a cliff overlooking Moonsong and hoped to use the stolen spells against the dragons. They prepared to crystallize a portion of the forest and use its power against the dragons. Despite their effort, the spell took an enormous size, casting a huge explosion. The torrent of energy instantly crystallized the entire forest of Moonsong and its inhabitants. The blue dragons, sensing the spellwork, successfully escaped.[20]

War of the Shifting Sands[]

A thousand years before modern times, the almost-extinct blue dragons still managed to lend their aid to the night elves and the bronze dragonflight during the War of the Shifting Sands. Led by Arygos, a child of Malygos, the blues fought the Silithid and their Qiraji masters furiously and ultimately helped push them back to their city where they were sealed away from the world. The dragons suffered few casualties but the progeny of Malygos, Arygos, was believed lost, having charged deep into Ahn'Qiraj during the final push. After the war, a shard of the Scepter of the Shifting Sands was entrusted to the blue wyrm Azuregos by Anachronos the bronze.[21]

Unbeknownst to his flight, Arygos, along with Caelestrasz and Merithra, was not dead, simply captured. The dark master of Ahn'Qiraj used the tortured dragons to power his new creations: Moam and the other obsidian destroyers.[22]

823 BDP, Aegwynn, the Guardian of Azeroth, sensed something dark stirring in the icy lands of Northrend. She traveled to the distant continent and found a pack of demons hunting errant blue dragons, feeding on their potent arcane energies.[23]

After the death of Medivh, the Kirin Tor entrusted the greatstaff Inv staff 2h artifactaegwynsstaff d 01 [Aluneth] to the blue dragons and locked it in the Nexus Vault.[12]

Battle of Grim Batol[]

Chronicle3 Alexstrasza

Malygos fighting Deathwing with the other Dragon Aspects.

In the events leading up to the Second War, Deathwing led a powerful orc warlock named Nekros to the Dragon Soul — now renamed the Demon Soul. Nekros used the Demon Soul to force the red Dragon Aspect, Alexstrasza, into submission and forced the rest of the red dragonflight to serve him or risk the death of their queen. Korialstrasz, who escaped by faking his death sought the assistance of the other Aspects to free his queen.[24] When Korialstrasz approached Malygos, the Blue Aspect seemed almost indifferent to the news at first. That is until the red consort hinted to the lord of the blues that as the aspect of life, there could be something Alexstrasza could do for him and his nearly-extinct flight. After heavy consideration and some coaxing from Ysera, he agreed.

With the Aspects convinced, Korialstrasz waited until Nekros brought Alexstrasza and her eggs out of the fortress, just as Deathwing had desired. When Deathwing made his appearance, Malygos and the others arrived and proceeded to battle Deathwing in the sky near Grim Batol. Korialstrasz's human apprentice, Rhonin, defeated Nekros and used one of Deathwing's scales to destroy the Demon Soul. The destruction of the artifact released the ancient power that had been sealed inside for millennia, making the Aspects whole once more and allowing them to overpower Deathwing and force his retreat. This final battle was known as the Battle of Grim Batol.[25]

After having his powers restored to him, Malygos remained secluded for the most part but his flight did become more active in the world once again. Still recovering from the events that occurred ten thousand years ago, they nevertheless continued to safeguard the world from corrupting magic and those who would wield it.

Third War[]

WC3RoC-logo This section concerns content related to Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos or its expansion The Frozen Throne.

Like the other dragonflights, the blue dragonflight did not play any significant role in the events of the Third War. Arthas Menethil, first death knight of the Lich King, did however invade the icy lair of the blue dragon Sapphiron, where the wyrm had hoarded a great treasure and artifacts of significant power. The death knight, assisted by the Crypt lord Anub'arak, quickly dispatched Sapphiron's brood and slew the ancient servant of Malygos, raising him in undeath as a mighty frost wyrm.[18]

In The Siege of Dalaran mission, two blue drakes were ironically held prisoners in Dalaran, being transformed into flying sheep.

The Sunwell[]

Kalecgos Dragon Form

Comics title This section concerns content related to the Warcraft manga or comics.

As of the aftermath of the Third War, the blue dragonflight was growing in numbers, but not fast enough. Following the Third War, which had ravaged the kingdom of Quel'Thalas and cost the high elves their fabled Sunwell, Malygos and the blues felt a great flaring of power, coming from Lordaeron. The Spell-Weaver, with no elders at his disposal, sent the young Kalecgos to investigate. Tyrygosa, Kalecgos's intended mate, followed soon after, arriving just in time to save Kalecgos from the Scourge. In their company was a strange young woman by the name of Anveena Teague. On a visit to Tarren Mill, they were joined by the paladin Jorad Mace.[26] The four journeyed together, their exploits eventually leading them to Quel'Thalas where after being assaulted by Dar'Khan Drathir and an enslaved Korialstrasz they discovered Anveena was the new avatar of the Sunwell. Dar'Khan was defeated and Anveena was left in the care of Lor'themar Theron and Halduron Brightwing. Kalecgos, having sworn to look after her, remained in Quel'Thalas as Anveena's guardian.[27]

Outland and the nether dragons[]

Comics title This section concerns content related to the Warcraft manga or comics.

After the reopening of the Dark Portal by the demonic survivors of the Third War, Tyrygosa crossed through the portal in order to investigate the shattered world and the strange mysterious nether dragons found there. She discovered, to her dismay, the nether dragons were the wayward nether-twisted spawn of Deathwing himself, and that they were being subjugated by the death knight Ragnok Bloodreaver.[28]

Following his defeat, Tyrygosa attempted to save the fading nether dragons by bringing them to Azeroth, specifically to the Nexus which she hopes to use to feed and stabilize the ethereal dragons. The nether dragons however gorged themselves and grew mad with power claiming they were magic incarnate, and proceed to attack the blues. The mad slumbering Malygos heard this and awakened. Hearing the claims of the nether dragons Malygos misinterpreted their reference to themselves as magic and decided to absorb the nether dragons into himself. This empowered Malygos and allowed him to finally shake off his millennia-long madness.[29]

Since that time the blue dragons monitor the portal from their sanctum, and nothing crosses in or out without their knowledge.[30]

Second battle of Grim Batol[]

A lone survivor, Zzeraku, overlooked by the blues was quickly captured by Sintharia and taken to Grim Batol to be used in her schemes to create the twilight dragon Dargonax. Kalecgos followed ultimately meeting up with the red dragon Korialstrasz. Korialstrasz sensed something happening deep within the mountain and returned to Grim Batol to find the black consort in the midst of creating the twilight dragonflight. Ultimately, thanks to Korialstrasz's allies, the sacrifice of the nether dragon Zzeraku, and the anger felt by Dargonax towards his "mother", Sinestra and her creation were defeated. The mountain was once again abandoned, unaware to anyone that Deathwing lurked still deeper within.[31]

Wrath of the Lich King[]

Wrath-Logo-Small This section concerns content related to Wrath of the Lich King.

When the Lich King awoke from his long dormancy, he journeyed to Sindragosa's Fall, where he raised Sindragosa into undeath as a mighty skeletal frost wyrm and ordered her to lead the Frostbrood into war.[32][33] The Lich King then tore the spirits of Sindragosa's lost whelps into undeath in front of her skeletal form as a final affront to the great dragon.[34][14]

During the war against the Lich King, Sindragosa's Fall was crawling with Cult of the Damned acolytes and members who were raising more frost wyrms from the ice.[35] Later during the conflict, Sindragosa defended the Lich King in Icecrown Citadel until the adventurers who went on to slay him destroyed her as well, leaving only her skull behind. But rather than leave her to suffer again in some form, the adventurers took her crystalline essence to Wyrmrest Temple, where she could truly be laid to rest.[14]

Nexus War[]

Malygos (tactics)

Malygos in the Eye of Eternity.

Having awoken from madness, Malygos assessed the state of magical affairs on Azeroth and concluded that magic had run amok, blaming the mortal races and their reckless pursuit of power. Determined to forestall a catastrophe, the Blue Aspect decreed that the world's unbridled magic had to be reined in, and decided to fix this problem his way, by imprisoning and destroying all mortal mages and by realigning the flow of magic to point toward Coldarra, where the Nexus gathered all this arcane energy.[7]

So Malygos turned to the Arcanomicon to locate the ley lines, and tap into them using constructs called Surge needles, maneuvered into position over ley lines by his flight. He diverted these lines of energy that coursed beneath the earth, where they were focused through the Nexus' ascending rings and blasted into the Twisting Nether. However, this redirection carried disastrous consequences, splintering the world's crust and opening up unstable rifts.[17]

Malygos' siphoning of the world's magic did not go unnoticed. The Kirin Tor, elite magi of Dalaran, swore to fight Malygos to the bitter end, going as far as using their waning powers to transport their entire city to float above Northrend, though several members opted to side with the blue dragonflight becoming mage hunters.[17] Blue dragons, led by Cyanigosa, launched an offensive against the city. Their initial onslaught nearly succeeded in breaking through the shield but the magi of Dalaran were able to hold the spell, unaware that Cyanigosa had an agent on the inside. The mage hunter Crevan had allowed himself to be captured, and when the opportune moment arose he manipulated his nephew, the apprentice Aodhan, into freeing him. Crevan released the prisoners of the Violet Hold in hopes the distraction would work to Cyanigosa's advantage. The blue dragons pressed forward while Crevan attempted to bring the city down - literally - from inside, but Aodhan managed to outwit him long enough to stop him. The Kirin Tor, free from any distractions, were able to strengthen the shield and force the blue dragons to abandon the attack.[36]

The blue's increasingly militaristic methods were condemned by the red dragonflight, who vowed to neutralize Malygos at all costs. To this end, they formed a council with the Kirin Tor, and the two groups began actively subverting Malygos's devastating campaign.[17] When the blues dared attack Wyrmrest Temple, the reds called upon the remaining dragonflights for assistance, creating the Wyrmrest Accord.[37] Once again dragon fought against dragon. Alexstrsza and the other Aspects saw no way to end the senseless violence other than destroying Malygos. But the Blue Aspect proved elusive[38] until a key to the Eye of Eternity was found on the remains of the frost wyrm Sapphiron, a former servant of Malygos. The Spellweaver was finally confronted in his realm where he was slain by members of the Accord.[39]

The blue dragonflight had been left without an Aspect.[39]

Thrall: Twilight of the Aspects[]

WoW-novel-logo-16x62 This section concerns content related to the Warcraft novels, novellas, or short stories.

The blue dragonflight faced a crisis that no other dragon in the world had faced before, the loss of an Aspect. Research indicated that one could be empowered during the Embrace, and the two major candidates for the position were Kalecgos and Arygos, son of Malygos. Arygos betrayed his people to Deathwing for the promise of achieving the position, but in the end, the flight elected Kalecgos their new leader.[40]

Kalecgos worked alongside the other Aspects in the final battle against Deathwing, using his new power to rewrite the Dragon Soul's magic and allow it to harm the Aspect of Death. At the end of the fighting, the Aspects became mortal.

Jaina Proudmoore: Tides of War[]

WoW-novel-logo-16x62 This section concerns content related to the Warcraft novels, novellas, or short stories.

Deciding that the Focusing Iris needed to be placed somewhere safe, a squad of blue dragons began to escort it from the Eye of Eternity to the depths of Azeroth's ocean. However, agents of the Horde killed the entire squad and stole the artifact. Kalecgos went out searching for it because of his former position as Aspect, but was unable to discover its location until the Focusing Iris was used to empower the mana bomb that destroyed Theramore.

Because of their diminished numbers, first from Deathwing, then the Nexus War, and then the Cataclysm, the blue dragonflight decided to go their separate ways. The few remaining blue dragons have scattered across the world, no longer affiliated with any organization.[41]

Dawn of the Aspects[]

WoW-novel-logo-16x62 This section concerns content related to the Warcraft novels, novellas, or short stories.

With Nexus abandoned, only few individuals remained to check the Nexus, such as Kalec and Jaracgos. After Kalec relived the true history of the proto-dragons, he was reconsidering his decision to let the other blue dragons choose their individual paths, and he concluded that he could restore the flight.[42]

Legion[]

Senegos

Senegos leader of the Azurewing brood of blue dragons.

Legion This section concerns content related to Legion.

Lanigosa aided a paladin adventurer to retrieve a Spark of Tyr and fight the cursed titan keeper Jotun. Azuregos returned to the Nexus, however, he was captured by the Ethereum as they sought to acquire control over the artifacts within the Nexus Vault. A mage and a priest adventurer freed him and, banding together, defeated Nexus-Prince Bilaal and his followers. Azuregos stayed behind to secure the Nexus so it would not fall into the wrong hands again, and said to give his regards to Kalecgos.

The Azurewing, a remaining brood of blue dragons led by Senegos, had made their home in Azsuna on the Broken Isles. They came under attack by the Nightfallen, who sought to drain the mana from the dragons to feed their addiction. They later assisted in defending Azsuna against the demons during the Legion Assaults.

Exploring Azeroth[]

WoW-novel-logo-16x62 This section concerns content related to the Warcraft novels, novellas, or short stories.

Zekhan was aware of the fact that the blue dragonflight dragons went their separate ways, but seeing Lake Mennar after the Fourth War made him think otherwise. Malynea Skyreaver explained to them that a Inv misc stonetablet 08 [Sarcen Stone] was drawing them to the area.[43]

According to a goblin from Winterspring, the blue dragons are still present in the Mazthoril caves.[44]

Dragonflight[]

Dragonflight This section concerns content related to Dragonflight.

20,000 years ago, Malygos had placed a contingent of blue dragons and drakonid on the Forbidden Reach to watch over the slumbering dracthyr. These dragons had been on the island for all that time, and were unaware that Malygos was dead. After the events of the dracthyr starting zone, the drakonid joined the Healing Wings.

Kalecgos Meets Sindragosa Simulacrum

Kalecgos meets Sindragosa's simulacrum.

When the Dragon Isles reawakened, all dragonflights, including the blues, traveled to them. In the Azure Span, Kalecgos traveled alone to reignite the flight's Azure Oathstone. When he met a simulacrum of Sindragosa she asked him where the rest of the flight was, and Kalec explained how the flight was disbanded and they had all gone their separate ways. After spending some time with the local tuskarr and seeing how they celebrated the lives of the dead instead of mourning them, Kalec put out a magical call to any blue dragons who were listening to gather at the Azure Span.[45] The Azurewing dragons arrived just in time to save Kalecgos from Raszageth,[46] and as Kalec restored the Azure Oathstone he declared the blue dragonflight - his family - renewed.[1] Afterward, many blue dragons could be seen in the skies of the Azure Span.[47]

While many blue dragons had returned, and others had informed Kalec of their intentions to make their way to the isles, some members of the flight remained unaccounted for.[48] After aiding Azuregos, he created a Dragon Locator to help discover where the flight's missing members were.[49] Adventures were subsequently sent to aid the missing dragons and while most of them decided to join the rest of their flight, Kirygosa declined because she was truly happy in Dawn's Blossom.[50]

As the blue dragonflight realized that the violent deaths of Malygos and Sindragosa experienced had left them stranded in their final moments, they recovered their essences and brought them back to the Azure Archives.[51] Working together as one, the blue dragonflight used the arcane energy within the Azure Archives to break the loop of death that Malygos and Sindragosa had found themselves trapped in, and watched as Kalecgos and adventures clashed with them before they pair were properly soothed and released from their torment, and then watched as the spirits peacefully passed on to the afterlife.[52]

In the aftermath, Senegos decided that the time had come for his long life to end at last and the blue dragonflight watched as he gave one last flight. When Stellagosa asked what they were to do now, Kale responded that they would strengthen the bonds of their flight by celebrating all those who came before and that the Archives were their new home.[53]

Blue dragonkin

Blue dragonkin in Mazthoril.

  • Arygos, thought to have been lost during the War of the Shifting Sands, was recently found to be alive inside Ahn'Qiraj, as a slave of C'Thun, along with Caelestrasz and Merithra. Andorgos came to Ahn'Qiraj after sensing his trapped brethren within, but dares not travel into the temple from fear of falling under the old god's control.

Removed[]

WoW Icon update The subject of this section has been removed from World of Warcraft but is present in Classic Era.
  • Azuregos and his brood of dragonspawn once guarded the ruins of the ancient night elven city of Eldarath in Azshara. The city was rumored to hold many powerful Highborne artifacts scattered throughout the ruins. Azuregos would stop at nothing to safeguard these artifacts from falling into mortal hands.[19] At one point Azuregos was sought out for the Inv misc gem sapphire 03 [Blue Scepter Shard] he once held only to tell the adventurers he had passed it along to an empowered minow ages ago to spare himself the hassle.
  • The icy caverns of Mazthoril in Winterspring once teemed with blue dragonkin under the leadership of the Matron Protectorate Haleh, General Colbatann, and the drake-champion Scryer. These dragonkin were fierce enemies of the black flight and desired to strike out against its new leaders; Nefarian and Onyxia. At one point they came under attack by Nefarian's dragonriders, coming in the darkness of night, and kidnapping whelps, such as Awbee, to be used in experiments to create a new chromatic dragonflight.

Nexus Dragonspawn

The Nexus dragonkin

  • With the Nexus War in full swing, the blue dragonflight has spread outward from Coldarra into the neighboring regions of the Borean Tundra such as Beryl Point and the Coldrock Quarry. Coldarra bustles with activity as the blue flight hatches and trains drakes for the war, supervised by Malygos's last remaining consort, Saragosa. The blue dragon Eregos and his minions watch over the Oculus. Malygos himself spends his time coordinating his war from inside the Eye of Eternity.[38]
  • The blue dragonflight has diverted much of the ley lines' energy to the Azure Dragonshrine in the Dragonblight, empowering the flight and altering their appearance. With this power, the blue flight has boldly begun to launch attacks against Wyrmrest Temple, what was once considered neutral ground. The Wyrmrest Accord fight to defend the temple against their misguided brethren.[37] Later on an ambassador of the Blue Dragonflight, Kalecgos, can be found at the top of the Wyrmrest Temple, who reluctantly assists adventurers seeking the draconic sword Quel'Delar.
  • In Crystalsong Forest, an army of blue dragonkin, assisted by mage hunters, can be found in the close vicinity of Dalaran, daring to strike at the city. A significant force, led by Cyanigosa, even manages to break into the Violet Hold, the city's prison, and free several inmates in hopes of creating chaos in the streets of Dalaran.

Tarecgosa

Tarecgosa, whose spirit is bound to a legendary staff Dragonwrath and later put to rest on the Dragon Isles.

  • Kalecgos has traveled to Bilgewater Harbor in Azshara in search of a fellow blue dragon. The black dragonflight seeks to route out the last remaining blues and has invaded the area to hunt down Azuregos. Kalecgos hopes to convince Azuregos to come out of hiding and assist him in repelling the invasion.
  • In Winterspring, the caverns of Mazthoril have been magically corrupted, and creatures from all dimensions have made their way inside. The blue dragons and dragonspawn have been slain by Umbranse the Spiritspeaker who was after their powerful essences. Matron Haleh managed to escape to the Beryl Egress and wants to see Umbranse dead. Her son Nymn can be found in Everlook recruiting assistance in getting precisely that done.
  • Since the death of Malygos, the blue dragonflight has struggled with appointing a new leader. Its members are torn between Kalecgos and Arygos, the two likeliest successors. Arygos, a scion of Malygos, believes that his kind should withdraw from the world and forge a new path while Kalecgos champions reconciliation with other races. To end these debates and arguments the flight has agreed to meet during the Embrace, in hopes that one of them will be selected as the new Aspect.[54] During the Embrace, at Coldarra, it is revealed that Arygos has allied with Deathwing to assassinate Kalecgos in order to secure his position as leader of the Blue dragonflight. However, his plan is thwarted and revealed to the rest of the flight when Tarecgosa sacrifices herself to save Kalecgos. With his actions revealed to the rest of his flight, Arygos flees the Coldarra calling the flight fools and that Neltharion will destroy them as Kalecgos is chosen to be the flight's new leader.

Legion[]

Legion This section concerns content related to Legion.
  • Lanigosa aids a paladin adventurer in his task to retrieve the Silver Hand, sending them to Galakrond's Rest. Later, she battles along with the very adventurer against the cursed titan keeper Jotun.
  • Azuregos returned to the now-abandoned Nexus to secure the magical artifacts contained within the vault but was captured by the Ethereum which had taken up residence. He was freed by an adventurer at Kalec's behest and together they took down Nexus-Prince Bilaal. Azuregos stays behind to secure the Nexus so it will not fall into the wrong hands again, and says to give his regards to Kalecgos.
  • A remaining brood of the flight will be encountered on the Broken Isles. Senegos, possibly the oldest blue dragon alive, seeks aid as the blue dragons' whelps are being attacked by the Nightfallen.
    • Senegos claims that the dragons can no longer bear eggs, threatening the very existence of the flight[55] - though the extent and reason for this is unknown (although it is probably related to the loss of the Aspects' powers).
