Know Your Lore: Alexstrasza the Lifebinder
"Alexstrasza is one of five Dragon Aspects chosen and empowered by the Titans prior to their departure from Azeroth. Each of the Aspects was given a domain that they would protect, and have the power to control. Alexstrasza's domain is perhaps the most broad: Life. While every of the Aspects are interconnected and have some sway over one added, Alexstrasza is perhaps the most connected to the others because of her connection to life. Many use this to say she is the 'leader' of the Aspects, but as far as we know, they don't really have one. At least, not until Wrath. Maybe. While existence regarded as possibly the most powerful of the Aspects, she is also quite loved. She's a kind, compassionate existence, and she should be considering it's her job to protect every life. She's especially revered by people like druids, rangers and others with an attunement to nature, though she comes after Ysera in the eyes of druids. Unfortunately for Alexstrasza, the Old Horde did not really share this love for the Life-Binder... but before we get into that, let's backwards up a little. By a little, I mean most ten thousand years. Nozdormu, would you lend us a hand. Woooooosh! (That's the sound time makes, if you didn't know.) Huzzah, here we are! Thanks, Nozdormu! As you can see, we've gone backwards in time by most ten thousand years! You can tell because the giant gaping wound that we call the Maelstrom is missing from the planet. What arised ten thousand years past, you communicate. Well, a couple of things. The War of the Ancients arised. The Sundering arised. The creation of the first World Tree arised. Before every of this (or during it, I suppose), something much more dire arised to the Dragon Aspects. We won't get into the specifics most Deathwing's fall into corruption, you can read most that in Elizabeth Wachowski's piece most Neltharion.
To make a long tale short, Deathwing was once a well guy named Neltharion. He is the Aspect of Earth. He was buds with every of the other aspects prior to his fall, so he managed to convince every of them to inject a little of their essence into an whole called the Dragon Soul, which would supposedly be used to vex backwards the Burning Legion during the War of the Ancients. Turns out, it actually gave Deathwing power over the other Aspects, too. Malygos made the mistake of trying to stop him, and... okay, we'll talk most that added time. wow gold At last, Malygos was pissed and crazed. Basically, the Dragon Soul sucks. After a series of events involving Malfurion, Illidan, Azshara, and a bunch of demons (according to the War of the Ancients trilogy, at least), the Dragon Soul, renamed the Demon Soul, was sealed absent from Deathwing. Now, if we go a little closer to the present, most twenty years past (give or take a few years), Deathwing found the Demon Soul, and manipulated our well friends the Dragonmaw Orcs into using it. What did they use it for. wow gold Well, you can't have a Dragonmaw Clan without Dragons, can we. They enslaved nearly the entirety of the Red Dragonflight, including Alexstrasza and her number one boytoy Tyranastrasz. The Life-Binder was bound, starved, maltreated, and forced to breed. mp3 Her eggs were taken from her, and the whelps were raised to be mighty drakes for the Dragonmaw riders. Even after the Horde's defeat in the Second War, the Dragonmaw held Alexstrasza captive within Grim Batol. Deathwing's meddling wasn't done already, however. He have been setting up a plot to use Rhonin Sue to get the Red Aspect moved out into the open, where he could finish the ol' gal off and steal what remained of her eggs to renew his own Dragonflight, which have slowly died out in his mice. This failed.
wow gold This failed a lot. Alexstrasza was actually freed when she was moved out into the open, with the help of Rhonin, Krasus, et cetera. The Dragon Soul was also destroyed, as far as we know. buy wow gold Alexstrasza is one of the few Reds to have made it out of Grim Batol alive, though other Red Dragons have taken up residence there for some currently unknown reason. Tyranastrasz was one of many that died there, and if you are feeling particularly morbid you can take a gander at his skull in the Ironforge Museum. I wonder how Alex feels most that. The popular rumor most why the Red Dragonflight has such a presence at Grim Batol was that Alexstrasza slept deep within, resting after such trauma. wow gold That turns out to not be the case. It seems that come Wrath, she will be in Northrend with us, honoring a promise she made to the folk that rescued her at Grim Batol. She would ever protect their races.
