In the next patch for World of Warcraft 7.2.5, time is once again going haywire. The dragon lady Chromie dies quite often and we must prevent it.
When it comes to time travel in World of Warcraft, most players have a mixed relationship with it. While certain time travels – like in the Caverns of Time – are very popular, not everyone could appreciate Warlords of Draenor, which was basically a “time travel and alternative universe” story that few fully grasped.
However, there is a time traveler in World of Warcraft who has been causing mischief since Classic and is quite popular among fans: Chromie. The little gnome lady’s real name is Chronormu and she is a bronze dragon. The bronze dragons preserve the flow of time and take care of anomalies that could change history due to magical events.
Chromie dies and dies and dies ….
In patch 7.2.5, there is a special questline featuring Chromie that mainly takes place in Northrend. The Legion is also attacking the various sanctuaries of the dragonflights, and Chromie herself falls victim to these attacks and dies. Since Chromie isn’t particularly fond of her own death, one of her “time” companions has turned back time a bit and asks the heroes for help.
The players must find out who is behind the attacks on Chromie and likely do so under time pressure. At least some of Chromie’s text passages suggest that there is a time limit. And many more passages indicate that she will die – very, very often.
Especially cool: Throughout the questline, we also get to see Furorion again, who can be found at the sanctuary of the black dragons. Whether players will learn more about the plans of the supposedly last black dragon is not currently discernible from the game data.
However, data miners have already read most of Chromie’s voiceover. You can listen to the original English version here, which is of course filled with spoilers. But in the future, a spoiler from today is just an interesting piece of information you already have – or something like that is how Chromie would probably phrase it.
In the future, we will be seeing much more of Azeroth – including previously unknown locations.
