During the War of the Ancients, Deathwing forced the Dragon Soul to strike with all his strength, and his body was torn apart due to the huge recoil force.
From then on, scorching magma would always spurt out from Deathwing's cracked chest. Except for Dragon Queen Sinestra, no other mate could withstand the burning of the magma.
Even Sinestra was severely burned by Deathwing's strong hold. After laying the last batch of dragon eggs, she was overwhelmed and ran away.
Even Nefarian and Onyxia don't know where their mother has gone. Without the Dragon Queen as the hero's mother, the population growth of the black dragon clan has almost completely stagnated.
Under the relentless pursuit of Wyrmrest Temple, Azeroth is no longer suitable for black dragons to survive.
In order to provide a better environment for the young dragons and young dragons to grow up, after realizing that the orcs came from another world, Deathwing made a decision and looked for an opportunity to send the last batch of dragon eggs Sinestra gave birth to Germany.
Rano hatches.
Deathwing himself disappeared without a trace after the Battle of Grim Batol. Nefarian, who temporarily carried the banner, could only follow the strategy he left behind and arranged for Onyxia to personally escort the dragon egg to Draenor.
Keep an eye on me until the next time the Dark Portal opens.
If it weren't for the ancient gods who were behind Deathwing to help the black dragon clan, with Deathwing's current willful and tyrannical temper, there wouldn't be many black dragons willing to obey his orders.
As far as Onyxia knows, after experiencing the all-out pursuit of Wyrmrest Temple for tens of thousands of years, many of the black dragons who are still alive regret that they followed Deathwing and betrayed their own kind.
Sharlayan was not sure whether Onyxia was really following Deathwing wholeheartedly in preparing for a great cause, nor was she sure what the current state of Sinestra, who was tortured and scarred by Deathwing, was.
If the information provided by the barrage is correct, Sinestra is probably hiding somewhere in Draenor at this time, closely observing the batch of dragon eggs that have been sent in advance.
"Sinestra?"
Stellagosa showed a look of surprise on her face: "Didn't you say she was forced away by Deathwing? How could she be in Draenor?"
Sharlayan: "Sinestra and Deathwing have indeed completely broken up, but they still have the same idea of hoping that the black dragon clan will develop and grow... although the starting points of both sides hoping to achieve this goal are completely different."
Valeela said thoughtfully: "From the perspective of the Black Dragon Queen, it is understandable to hope that the clan will continue to exist. Let's put it this way..."
"She also had the idea of those dragon eggs?"
Stellagosa lowered her head and muttered: "That would be interesting. If we can find the whereabouts of the dragon egg in advance, we should be able to find a way to lure Snestra out."
"The problem now is..." Valeela spread her hands: "How do we find the location of the dragon eggs before Onyxia?"
Sarlayan got some more information from the barrage: "I have some clues, but I can't guarantee that they are correct."
According to the barrage, Deathwing, who personally escorted the dragon egg in the original history, once fought a battle with the local overlord, Gronn King Gruul, in the Blade's Edge Mountains.
Before that, Gruul and his descendants had killed many accompanying black dragons, and Gruul also earned the title of Dragon Slayer.
Although there are some differences between that period of history and current developments, the gap should not be too big.
[There is no black dragon accompanying Onyxia. The black dragons killed by Gronn are probably the guards who were guarding the dragon eggs in advance. 】
[This proves that the dragon egg is most likely hidden somewhere in the Blade's Edge Mountains, because the high-profile black dragon annoyed the local aborigines, which triggered a war between the black dragon and the Goron clan. 】
The gronn are one of the ancient species of the world of Draenor.
Speaking of Gronn, the barrage explained in detail the evolution history of Draenor.
Draenor existed long before Sargeras' fall.
In order to find more planets with world souls, Sargeras' lieutenant Aggramar has been patrolling the vast stars.
In ancient times, Aggramar accidentally discovered Draenor. At that time, the planet was being eroded by a swarm of wildly proliferating spores.
The fifth element "Spirit of Life" gave Draenor's spore swarms power and wisdom, allowing the spore forest area on the planet to expand significantly. The area occupied by the spore swarms was later named Evergreen.
Aggramar saw through Draenor's future at a glance.
If these wildly expanding spore groups are not checked and balanced, Draenor will be devoured sooner or later, and eventually become an endless wasteland due to exhaustion of the planet's resources.
The Titans of the Pantheon are all defenders of order, and Aggramar cannot watch a vibrant planet gradually dying.
Out of compassion, Aggramar used the four elements of earth, water, fire, and wind as the foundation to create a huge elemental structure named Grond.
Grond adhered to Aggramar's will, and an earth-shattering battle broke out with the three giant spore piles assembled by the spores.
After killing the two spore piles "Dirty" and "Naanu", Grond was finally defeated due to exhaustion and was defeated by the last spore pile "Potaan", and his body turned into the Nagrand Mountains.
The stone fragments split from his body contain the power of the four elements of earth, water, fire and wind.
After absorbing the fifth element "Spirit of Life" released when the two spore piles were defeated, these stone fragments full of elemental power evolved, and finally evolved into the four elemental lords of Draenor.
After Grond's death, the rocks that shattered around the world were contaminated with the life essence of the spore piles, forming another kind of entity life. They are the earliest ancestors of Draenor's flesh-and-blood creatures-the djinn.
Aggramar was very pleased with the appearance of the djinn. He believed that these children could complete Grond's unfinished business, eliminate the last spore pile Pota'an, and redirect Draenor's ecology to balance.
Aggramar is burdened with the important task of finding the star soul and cannot stay in Draenor for a long time.
After giving part of his power to the djinn, Aggramar left in a hurry and continued to travel among the stars.
The remaining djinn lived up to Aggramar's expectations. In the final battle, the djinn collectively self-destructed, finally completely wiping out Portaan, and Draenor entered a new era.
A new species was born from the corpse of the djinn that died by self-destruction. They were the overlord-level life forms of early Draenor - Magolon.
Due to the influence of spore groups scattered on the surface of the planet, Magolon, which was originally a rock creature, began to gradually become flesh and blood. Over time, species such as Gronn, One-eyed Demon, Ogre and Orc evolved.
Sarlayan: "Ah..."
After listening to the barrage describing the evolution of life in Draenor, Sarlayan scratched his head in silence.
"So strictly speaking, orcs are also descendants of Titan creations?"
[Yes, from the beginning, orcs and humans, dwarves and gnomes are actually distant relatives. 】
[Trolls are the true native species of Azeroth and have nothing to do with the creation of the Titans. The same is naturally true for the elves who evolved from trolls. 】
Sarlayan: "Emmmm... Humans and orcs have been arguing for a long time, and it turned out to be a family conflict? Instead, outsiders like us are worried about it. This is too reckless."
"This degeneration with sparks and lightning... I am looking forward to seeing what kind of species the already stupid orcs can degenerate into."
…
Now that they have speculated on the possible burial range of the dragon egg, there is no need for the three of Sarlayan to follow Onyxia.
After a week of recuperation at Nethergarde Keep, Vereesa finally arrived with the high elf expeditionary force.
At this point, all the reinforcements that the Eastern Kingdom can recruit have arrived.
Under Turayan's order, wizards such as Khadgar and Drandon once again activated the Dark Portal, and the expeditionary force, which was fully prepared, finally officially set foot on the land of another world.
"Ahem!"
As soon as they walked out of the other side of the Dark Portal, most of the soldiers of the expeditionary force, including Valeera, immediately started coughing uncomfortably.
Sharlayan and Stellagosa were okay. Although they could feel obvious discomfort, they did not choke and cough due to the pungent breath that hit their faces.
"This is……"
Sarlayan frowned and looked at the distant land.
If the Blasted Land is just a wasteland devoid of life, the Hellfire Peninsula on the other side of the Dark Portal is a real hell as its name suggests.
"The stench of evil energy is so strong. Can people really live in this damn environment?"
