Dragon Isles

Summary

Reawakened in the modern era, the Dragon Isles are the ancestral homeland of the dragonflights. Long hidden and dormant, they stir once more with the return of the Aspects and the call of ancient power. Brimming with elemental forces, titan technology, and unresolved legacies, the Dragon Isles are sacred, volatile, and still unfolding. The continent represents both a return to origins and a reckoning with the future.

Notable Regions:

  • The Waking Shores – A tumultuous zone of lava flows, vibrant fauna, and rebirth. Home to the red dragonflight’s Ruby Life Pools and the black dragonflight’s crumbling strongholds.
  • Ohn’ahran Plains – Vast grasslands sacred to the green dragonflight. Home to the Maruuk centaur clans, who revere Ohn’ahra, a wild spirit tied to the wind and hunt.
  • Azure Span – A snowy, boreal expanse echoing with arcane energy and echoes of kaldorei and blue dragonflight history. Home to the Iskaara tuskarr and ley-line mysteries.
  • Thaldraszus – The heart of ancient dragonflight civilization. A shining land of titan spires, time anomalies, and the seat of the bronze dragonflight. Anchored by Valdrakken, the new neutral capital.

Major Cities:

  • Valdrakken – A gleaming, cosmopolitan capital where all dragonflights gather. A hub for diplomacy, scholarship, and military command. It rests atop ancient titan foundations and serves as a neutral sanctuary.
  • Iskaara – A tuskarr village nestled within the Azure Span. Known for their resilience, deep traditions, and powerful spirit magic.
  • Maruukai – The central encampment of the unified centaur clans in Ohn’ahran Plains. A stronghold of cultural rites and reverence for the land.

Factions:

  • The Dragonflights – The red, blue, green, bronze, and black flights seek to reclaim their purpose and power after ages of decline. The Isles serve as their ancestral seat.
  • The Maruuk Centaur – Once wild and scattered, the centaur clans of the plains have united in spiritual kinship with the green dragonflight.
  • The Tuskarr of Iskaara – Cultural stewards of the north, their music, fishing, and traditions hold strong even in the face of war.
  • The Titan Watchers – Remnants of the titanic constructs once assigned to guard the Isles. Their purpose is now strained by time, rebellion, and awakening power.
  • The Primalists – A radical faction seeking to overthrow the Aspects and return elemental chaos to the world. They are led by powerful proto-dragons like Raszageth.
  • The Bronze Dragonflight – Watchers of time and defenders of the timeline, increasingly strained by temporal instability and paradoxes.
  • The Obsidian Warders & Dark Talons – Two rival black dragonflight factions representing differing philosophies about legacy and redemption.
