Khadgar, Kalecgos and Alexstrasza show why we urgently need to head to the Dragon Isles in WoW: Dragonflight.
In World of Warcraft, everything is gearing up for the launch of the new expansion Dragonflight. A series of new quests in the game already make it clear that major changes are on the horizon. But why do we even want to go to the Dragon Isles and what is the issue there? A new cinematic with Kalecgos, Khadgar, and the Dragonmother Alexstrasza provides certainty.
Spoiler warning: The cinematic is part of the pre-quest for Dragonflight, which you can currently play in World of Warcraft. If you’d rather experience it live in the game, you should not read further.
So far, the visit to the Dragon Isles has mainly been categorized by Blizzard as “adventure and expedition.” Even though that is the motivation for many groups like the Explorer’s League or the Reliquary, there is a great threat on the Dragon Isles that once again needs to be dealt with.
Since “Legion,” Khadgar has retreated to Karazhan and is studying the ancient knowledge hidden in this tower. He has only briefly appeared in the Shadowlands, otherwise he has steered clear of “Battle for Azeroth” and “Shadowlands.”
Now he is being visited by the Blue Dragon Aspect Kalecgos. He reports that Furorion witnessed an ancient evil being unleashed on the Dragon Isles – the Storm Eater Raszageth.
Alexstrasza, Kalecgos, Nozdormu, and Furorion then discuss the incident on the Dragon Isles, as Raszageth wants to “free the world from the contamination of the Titans” – which means the annihilation of dragons and also numerous mortal races.
Raszageth is one of the “Primal Incarnates” – a particularly powerful proto-dragon that commands the storm. For a long time, she was imprisoned on the Dragon Isles but was freed (in the starting area of the Dracthyr). The fear now is that Raszageth will also free the other great dragons. Particularly the mention of “Iridikron’s Hunger” seems to frighten Alexstrasza – she recoils and winces painfully.

To face this danger, the dragon leaders are now trying to regain their old power of the aspects, which they lost at the end of “Cataclysm.” And to achieve this, they also need the help of the heroes of Azeroth – because they will inevitably solve any problem sooner or later in a raid.
The cinematic contains what WoW players generally like – because not only does “Daddy Khadgar” make his comeback and is likely to entertain players soon with quite bad “Dad jokes,” but it also gives a closer look at “Mommy Alex” – whose new model is received quite well by fans.
