Changes: Ring of Blood

Revision as of 00:52, 23 July 2011

Dragon Aspects (aka Great Aspects or simply Aspects) are leaders of five dragonflights, and were created by the titans from the dragon known as Galakrond.^[1] The titans empowered the five dragons, each with specific powers, to lead the dragonflights and watch over ancient Kalimdor and its evolution^[2] (at the time, the sole continent of Azeroth).

The Dragon Aspects

Nozdormu the Timeless One
The massive bronze dragon chosen by Aman'Thul to guard time itself and police the ever-spinning pathways of fate and destiny.
Alexstrasza the Life-Binder
The red leviathan chosen by Eonar to safeguard all living creatures on the world.
Ysera the Dreamer
The lithe green dragon, and Alexstrasza's younger sister, chosen by Eonar to watch over the growing wilds of the world from her verdant realm, the Emerald Dream.
Kalecgos
Former investigator for Malygos and guardian of Anveena, he succeed Malygos as the new Blue Aspect, during the the even of the Legendary Engagement questchain.^[3]
- Malygos the Spell-Weaver
  The blue dragon originally chosen by Norgannon as the guardian of magic and hidden arcanum. Killed by agents of Alexstrasza during the Nexus War.
Neltharion the Earth-Warder
The mighty black wyrm chosen by Khaz'goroth and given dominion over the earth and the deep places of the world. He was driven mad by the whisperings of the Old Gods and managed to drive the blue dragonflight to near extinction. He is now known as Deathwing.

The Aspects in World of Warcraft

Dragon Aspects humanoid forms — Nozdormu, Ysera, Alexstrasza, Malygos and Neltharion, The Originals Aspects in their humanoid forms.

All of the Aspects appear in one form or another:

Malygos was the first Aspect confirmed to appear in WotLK. He is the boss of the Eye of Eternity within the Nexus, the homebase of the blue dragonflight, on the island of Coldarra in the Borean Tundra. Malygos leads his dragonflight in a war against all mortal spellcasters, believing that magic was running amok throughout the world because of mortals' reckless use of its powers.^[4] Malygos can be killed by players, thus making him the first of the Dragon Aspects to die.
Alexstrasza appears in humanoid form at the Wyrmrest Temple in Dragonblight. The red dragonflight appears to be at the forefront in defending the mortal races in the Nexus War against Malygos and the blue dragonflight, both in keeping with their charge to preserve life and honoring Alexstrasza's agreement with Rhonin that the races of those who had freed her from the Dragonmaw clan would not come to harm. Alexstrasza aids the players in the battle against Malygos in the Eye of Eternity. She also appears at Angrathar the Wrathgate after the conclusion of the [Veteran of the Wrathgate] quest chain. She also appears to aid the adventurers in Twilight Highlands in the battles against Deathwing and the Twilight's Hammer.
Ysera appears at the Emerald Dragonshrine in Dragonblight. Lord Itharius, brother of her consort Eranikus, has been sent as her ambassador to Alexstrasza's Wyrmrest Accord. She also directs the efforts against the Twilight's Hammer and their elemental masters on Mount Hyjal.
Nozdormu appears briefly during [??] Mystery of the Infinite at the Bronze Dragonshrine. Chronormu (alias Chromie) is Nozdormu's ambassador to the Wyrmrest Accord.
Deathwing appears (as Neltharion) in humanoid form in a flashback in the Prison of Yogg-Saron in Ulduar, during a vision showing the creation of the Dragon Soul. He made his return in World of Warcraft: Cataclysm as the main antagonist, and probably will be second of the Dragon Aspects to die. Nalice is Deathwing's ambassador to the Wyrmrest Accord.

During a Q&A session at Blizzcon 2008 on October 11, 2008, a question was asked as to whether Deathwing will ever be seen within World of Warcraft. The response, while vague, was positive, indicating that, at some unspecified future time, Deathwing would in fact appear in-world. He finally made his appearance (albeit as something of a cameo) in Ulduar, and will be a main antagonist of the Cataclysm expansion.

During a Q&A session at Blizzcon 2010 on October 22, 2010, a question was asked about the Blue Dragonflight. The response was that in Cataclysm, Kalecgos is the new Blue Aspect. Also, Thrall may replace the Aspect of Earth, at least in the Battle with Deathwing.

-'''The Ring of Blood''' is a quest line given by a [[Goblin]] named [[Gurgthock]] ([http://wow.warcry.com/bcdb/view_npc.php?id=51 Warcry BC]) in the very north of [[Nagrand]], at the [[Laughing Skull Ruins]]. The enterprising Gurgthock has turned an area of the ruins into a pit for some good old-fashioned deathmatches. The player starts off as an inexperienced newbie, and finds him or herself steadily pitted against more powerful foes as they win their matches. The fight only ends when one side is a red stain on the ground! Since the enemies encountered in the Ring of Blood are very powerful, this must be done in a group, preferably with a proper [[tank]] and [[healer]].

-Only one group can be doing a Ring of Blood fight at a time. After each fight everyone in your party must talk to the NPC to turn the quest in, and then one of you talks to the NPC to start the next fight. The NPC is not available during fights. The result can be frustrating if several groups are trying to do the Ring of Blood at the same time, as everyone is madly trying to talk to the NPC at the same time and start their next fight. (Note: As soon as you drop one of the opponents, another group can start their quest.  This '''does not''' interfere with your progress.  After the other group has finished off their mob, you can trigger your groups next encounter.)

-You're in the big leagues now! The Warmaul Champion is either an [[Orc]], [[Ogre]], [[Lost One]], or [[Ethereal]]-this is chosen at random. He's the hardest fight in the arena. Anybody fighting him should make sure to get in the ring, because unlike the other enemies, he walks in from the outside and will aggro anybody unlucky enough to be nearby.* He hits hard, too--so be wary. Once the Champion is eating dirt, there's only one final task...
-* * Note: As of (at latest) Jan 20, this is no longer the case. The champion will spawn ''inside'' the ring, so it is best for everyone other than the tank to stand outside until the fight begins.
-;[[Quest:The Ring of Blood: The Final Challenge|The Ring of Blood: The Final Challenge]]
-All along, there's been an Ogre taunting the competitors. After he sees the Warmaul Champion fall, [[Mogor, Hero of the Warmaul]] decides to teach you a lesson personally! He's tough, but easier than the champion. Once you kill him, he'll Reincarnate and attack faster and a bit stronger, so be careful of that. He will use [[Chain Lightning]], so keep the party spread out.
-After you beat Mogor, you can choose from one of six VERY nice weapons.
-* [[Mogor's Anointing Club]]
-* [[Staff of Beasts]]
-* [[Mag'hari Fury Brand]]
-* [[Honed Voidaxe]]
-* [[Battle Mage's Baton]]
-* [[Ceremonial Warmaul Blood-blade]]
-With the exception of the [[Honed Voidaxe]] and [[Mag'hari Fury Brand]], all of these weapons seem to share graphics with items found in [[Naxxramas]].
