World Of Warcraft: Dragons!

Hello all,

Been interested in this game for a bit now, and my interest has picked up since all the E3 info has been dumped on us.

Anyways, my absorption of information has begun and I'd like to let you all know some things. (I've read all the novels, played all the games)

First off, this info is about WOW's 5 dragon races, black, red, green, blue, gold. Largely, this info is based off of the WarCraft novel "Day of the Dragons." Each dragon race was sired from an aspect, who is also an integral part of the world.

Red, led by the dragon queen Alexstrasza who is the aspect of life and birth and all that entails. She was the dragon the orcs captured and used her to create the mounts they used. She was captured using a magical artifact called the demon soul crafted from the power of 4 of the aspect dragons, excluding the black, which was orginally fashioned to destroy the burning legion. However she was freed in the end and is no longer a slave of the horde.

Black dragon, the dragon of death aptly named deathwing and the creator of the demonsoul. He tricked the other four into giving a large portion of their power to the device to defeat the burning legion and never imparted any of his power making him the strongest of the 5 aspects. However at the end of the novel "Day of the dragon" the demon soul was destroyed and the four other aspect dragons were returned to their former might and sent deathwing into hiding.

The green dragon was named Ysera and was the lord of dreams and nightmares, and her along with the red queens wing are the last remaining dragon flights in existence. The other three aspects blue, gold, black lost all their queen dragons and can no longer reproduce. In the book "day of the dragons" however it was mentioned that the dragon queen Alexstrasza could possibly sire new queens for each aspect.

The blue is named Malygos and is centered around ice and lightning and is the lord of all magic, and a bit deranged.

Last of all the gold named Nozdormu who is affiliated with the sand, and is the lord of time be it past present, or future. He is obsessed with collecting all the treasures of WOW's history to catalog.

There you have it, a history of the dragons of WOW, to recap all five are still alive, but only the green and the red have any flights left.
