So, that whole thing I said about Blizzard being completely spent as far as updates go? Yeah, they appear to want to make a liar out of me. If you haven’t found out about it yet, you need to get out from under that rock, reactivate your account, and buy gold so you’re ready to take it on.

The premise is a good one. It seems that part of what’s been holding the Scourge at bay over the last ten thousand years has been an alliance formed by the five dragonflights that live in Azeroth. This alliance, the Wyrmrest Accord, ensures that each of the major flights is ready to preserve all life on Azeroth and combat the Sourge at every turn.

The whole thing has been spearheaded by the red dragons in Wyrmrest Temple and the Ruby Sanctum. There has been some strife among the flights as time has marched on, however. The black dragons were found to be harboring twilight dragon eggs (Deathwing’s creations, bad mojo all around) and no one was too pleased about this corruption in the midst of their war against the Scourge. The reds were too busy with teh Scourge and the blue dragons at the time to deal with it, so they “accidentally” mentioned it, through various channels, to the Council of Six. This led to a nice big raid and some human heroes destroyed the eggs and defeated Sartharion in the Obsidian Sanctum. No one made much of a fuss over this, and the black’s complaints fell on deaf ears.

Fast forward to present time. Now, the halls of the Ruby Sanctum stand silent. No word has been heard from them in some time, and people are starting to get worried. No one can seem to get in touch with the red’s, and there really doesn’t seem to be anyone there to answer the call anyway. And just to heap it on, there’s a clutch of red eggs in that sanctum! Basically, if something isn’t done the best stronghold in all of Northrend will be lost to the Scourge if no one goes in and braves the dangers.

Enter us.

I’ve been checking the whole thing out, and it’s been a blast. I’m all about new areas, especially when they come with a great story, or at least great loot.

If I were you, I’d buy gold ASAP and get in there.
