World of Warcraft: Dragonflight is in full swing, and Blizzard Entertainment has traditionally uploaded the expansion's cinematic videos on its YouTube channel for players to enjoy. Despite Dragonflight's chaotic launch, many World of Warcraft fans have succeeded in breaking through the now-infamous boat and zeppelin ride to the Dragon Isles. The new continent in World of Warcraft has a lot of amazing stories to tell, with the fans already picking their favorite quests, but the overarching story remains one of vengeance, sibling rivalry, and rising to the occasion as Alexstrasza takes on Raszageth the Storm-Eater.
Raszageth and the Primalists represent the initial threat, though not necessarily the final boss of Dragonflight. Imprisoned in the Froststone Vault after her defeat at Deathwing's hands, she escapes confinement with retribution in mind, and a goal to free her siblings from the Vault of the Incarnates. Over the course of this storyline, she faces off against the champions of Azeroth and the five Dragonflights, establishing herself as a formidable foe.
Though Dragonflight has a stunning set of in-game cutscenes, the Storm-Eater and Alexstrasza confrontation was pre-rendered as a traditional World of Warcraft cinematic. Titled "The Storm-Eater's Fury," Raszageth unleashes her full might upon the Dragon Queen in this two-and-a-half minute cutscene, nearly ending her reign if not for the timely intervention of a rather controversial World of Warcraft character.
Wrathion in World of Warcraft has always been a polarizing figure for the community. The heir apparent to Neltharion, it was assumed that he would take the Earth-Warder's vacant throne and rebuild the Black Dragonflight into the wardens and warriors they used to be. Dragonflight challenges this assumption heavily with the reintroduction of Sabellian and his brood, forcing players and Wrathion himself to question if he truly does deserve the throne. Fans will have an opportunity to support either the Black Prince or his rival in the bid to become the next Dragon Aspect as Dragonflight unfolds.
As for Raszageth, she remains the final boss of the first raid, and her influence is felt everywhere in Dragonflight Season 1. Much like Sire Denathrius before her, the seasonal affix for Mythic Keystone dungeons is themed around the Storm-Eater, and it's just as exciting and electrifying as the Primal Incarnate of Lightning herself. World of Warcraft players will be able to take her down in the Vault of the Incarnates starting December 12, when the Normal, Heroic, and Mythic version of the raid opens up.
World of Warcraft: Dragonflight is available now on PC.
