Today, WowCarry is taking us through bits and pieces of the story from the new World of Warcraft novel: War of the Scaleborn.

The Story of War of the Scaleborn

In War of the Scaleborn, the story begins sometime after Galakrond has fallen to the team-up of Keeper Tyr and our now Aspects. We already learned the major reason behind the conflict as we’ve played through Dragonflight. The book delves into the major reason behind the conflict that we played through in the Dragonflight game. One of the major reasons behind the conflict revolves around the order-infused eggs that were created by the Keeper Tyr and the Aspects.

Now, in game, we got some books talking about Galakrond’s corruption by Yogg-Saron and Tyr messing with the life-giving waters of Azeroth, using it to infuse dragon eggs with the order magics. But for the longest time, we had no idea how Alexstrasza or the others looked upon the Keeper's actions. However, in War of the Scaleborn, we get to learn more about their perspective and how they felt about the order-infused eggs.

The book explores the conflict and the consequences of the order-infused eggs. It raises questions about the morality of the Aspects' actions and their knowledge of the true origin of the Keeper's actions.
