he blue Dragon Aspect, Malygos, was charged ages ago by the titans as the guardian of magic. More than ten millennia ago, he watched in horror as Deathwing all but wiped out the blue flight. Maddened by grief, Malygos withdrew to his lair and paid little heed to the rest of the world. Only in recent times did Malygos fully return to his senses. Upon reviving, he quickly assessed the state of magical affairs in Azeroth and reached the grim conclusion that magic was running amok throughout the world. He blamed this dangerous development on the mortal races and their reckless pursuit of magical power.

Determined to forestall a catastrophe, Malygos decreed that the world's unbridled magic must be reined in by any means necessary. And so the great Aspect turned to the Arcanomicon, a map of the world's ley lines, and used it to locate and tap into these sources of raw power, diverting the magical powers that course beneath the earth to his home base in Northrend, the Nexus. Once harnessed, the energies are focused through the Nexus' ascending rings and blasted into the Twisting Nether. Malygos's redirection of the ley lines has carried disastrous consequences, however, splintering the world's crust and opening unstable rifts: tears in the very fabric of the magical dimension.

Malygos' siphoning of the world's magic has not gone unnoticed by the mortal races. The weakening members of the Kirin Tor, the elite magi of Dalaran, have sworn to fight Malygos to the bitter end. In fact, the magi have used their waning powers to transfer the entire city of Dalaran to float above Northrend. From this vantage point, the magi prepare for the next step in their battle against the Lich King, and for the inevitable confrontation with Malygos.

The blue dragonflight's increasingly militaristic methods have been condemned by the red dragonflight. Charged with the preservation of life, the red dragonflight has vowed to neutralize Malygos at all costs. To this end, they have formed a council with the Kirin Tor, and the two groups have begun actively subverting Malygos's devastating campaign. The sides have been chosen; the battle lines have been drawn. The only question that remains now is...

Who will win?

The Eye of Eternity

After emerging from millennia of madness and seclusion, the blue Dragon Aspect, Malygos, surveyed the world of magic that the titans long ago charged him to protect. In his eyes, the foolish actions of the Kirin Tor and other mortal magi had plunged the world into chaos. Their arrogance, having continued uncontested for ages, would no longer be tolerated.

In order to reestablish his dominance over magic, the Spell-Weaver has launched a campaign to sever the link between mortals and the latent energy coursing through Azeroth. To this end, his blue dragonflight now redirects the ley lines of the world to the Nexus, Malygos' towering lair, where the converging magic is channeled into the Twisting Nether.

This high concentration of energy has afflicted the creatures living nearby with puzzling mutations, but the ramifications of the Spell-Weaver's quest are not isolated to the region surrounding the Nexus. Wizards throughout the world have reportedly been abducted by Malygos, and Dalaran, home to the Kirin Tor, has come under assault by the blue dragonflight.

The Spell-Weaver's hostility has drawn the concern of Alexstrasza the Life-Binder and her red dragonflight. Empowered by Eonar, the titan patron of all life, the compassionate Dragonqueen safeguards all the living creatures of the world. To honor her promise, members of her flight now aid the Kirin Tor. The two groups closely observe Malygos' actions, searching for a way to thwart his onslaught and strike out at the Aspect of Magic.

Thus far the elusive Spell-Weaver has proven difficult to engage. From within the safety of his personal domain, the Eye of Eternity, Malygos continues his crusade with near impunity, pushing Azeroth along an increasingly inescapable path to destruction: the same path, ironically enough, that drove him to declare war upon the mortal magi of the world.

At Wyrmrest Temple, the ancient meeting ground of the dragonflights, Alexstrasza and the ambassadors of other flights have discussed Malygos' recklessness and reluctantly concluded that he is beyond the point of salvation. With the red dragons' assistance, Azeroth's heroes may be able to accomplish what has formerly been unthinkable: challenging the Spell-Weaver from inside the Eye of Eternity.

As crucial as defeating Malygos might be in securing Azeroth's safety, his death will also herald a new age: a world of unguarded magic, absent of the Dragon Aspect powerful enough to watch over it. The Spell-Weaver's fall bodes ill for not only the other dragonflights, but possibly the entire world.
