Putting the Craft in Warcraft

I agree defeating Archimonde is a good place to stop though. Night elves didn't lose their immortality this time around, sunwell is intact meaning no fel-using blood elves, a colony of the Nerubian Empire survived (nerubians are one of my favourite Warcraft races ^_^), the scourge is much smaller in strength and scope, the human kingdoms aren't butchered husks of their former selves, and the Blue Aspect seems to be somewhat sane, and is also awake. All in all I'd say we dun good.

Really the only fly in the ointment is we haven't really done anything about the gods sleeping down below, but the world is in a better shape to handle them. And honestly mass expenditure of fatepoints seems the only reliable way to make anything that could tackle them. Also gnomeragan didn't explode which is kind of a pity. Damn gnomes.

EDIT: Oh yeah! The naga are also a thing but they're pretty much toothless without a wrecked world to prey on.

Rest and Dream
[X] Wayland + Waifu

You yawn widely as you look out at the horizon. "Well, when ya said remote I was imagining someplace in the middle of nowhere. This is a bit different."

You were in dragon form right now. The new transformation had made it so that it was your 'default' form. So a lot of your time after the battle had been spent just getting used to it. It was surprisingly easy to get to it, but things still tripped you up every now and again.

"Considering the sheer amount of interest you've gotten with your last few stunts, I'm still afraid adventurers are going to find us." Tyrygosa replied dryly as she settled down next to you.

This was one of those tricky things. Intimate contact in dragon from was surprisingly subtle. A touch instead of a full body hug was enough to be immensely distracting. And Tyrygosa apparently knew all the tricks. Combined with the new instincts and you could turn into a twitching tangled mess of limbs in seconds if you weren't careful.

"Not my fault." You mutter and let your head sink down.

"Most of it is." The blue dragon chuckled. "This place is hard for even the aspects to find though, so it's perfect for us both. And the natives are quiet on their own."

You nod and settle yourself down completely. You hadn't even known a giant turtle existed. Much less that you could use it to hide from the literal hordes of adventurers chasing after you. You were barely tolerant of your apprentices. That surge that had happened after the battle? It had almost immediately made you pack up to leave.

"How are the eggs?" You finally ask.

Tyrygosa beams at the question. "Another month, but they should hatch then. They have your magical signature, so they should be your color. I look forward to seeing what they are like!"

"Yer makin' our kids sound like an experiment." You give a sigh as the dragoness chuckles.

"I seem to remember you panicking once I found out that it had happened." Tyrygosa chuckles again as she scoots closer to you.

Against your will you find yourself relaxing and your eyes dropping. "An entirely new flight. Not what I thought my next project would be."

"You need a rest, and to re-evaluate your life." Tyrygosa mutters quietly. "Enough changing the world for now. It's never going to be totally stable, and right now your as likely to break a hammer as you are to use it."

"Never had kids." You snort and close both your eyes finally. "Yer mad if ya think they would be a restful time."

"Whelps are a bit different than human children." The Blue Dragon gives a soft croon and you feel yourself drift off to a restful sleep. "But they would be an interesting project for you don't you think? I can already guess that they will love the metal and things you can make."

"Dragon rattles." You reply back as sleep overtakes you.

You imagine a few thousand things, and dream of still more. The power of your new mantle flows through you. Not as great as the other aspects, but capable of near limitless creations. You were of earth, and yet not of earth. A purified aspect of the earth so to speak. Iron ore taken out and forged into something different.

That was what you and your new family would be. A steel flight. You had drifted to this little island atop a turtle's back and started it. Tyrygosa was right in her own way. It was time to do something different. In time you would likely pick up the hammer again.

But right now it was time to rest and let the world catch up. See if the gnomes came up with something different. See what the dwarves slammed together. The new black irons who had joined the alliance out of desperate need had good ideas, and the mindless Black Dragon minions gave them the means.

Now hadn't that been a surprise in the aftermath? Prince Varian with almost twenty Black Drakes at his call.

It had certainly made the Horde back off some. Now they had started to range out on the lands. Away from the humans and finding their own places.

War was still in the world. But it lacked the desperate tinge that had accompanied the scourge assault.

Even if the undead were still there.

You couldn't worry about it all though. You would break under the strain. A mortal in an immortal's guise would shatter if they tried to shoulder the world. You wouldn't. Focus on yourself and you could live and be happy. The rest of the world would sort itself. You've given the tools you could. It would have to be enough.

You dreamed of toys and baubles as you slept. But in the corner of your mind blades and axes still raised up in war.

And you smiled.

Next interlude.
 
[X]Chromie and the Bronze Flight

There are three viewpoints that I am wanting to see: Chromie, Medivh, and our original dwarven master. Of those three, I figure that Chromie and Medivh will give the most comprehensive picture of what is going on and what has changed in Azeroth.

EDIT: On second thought, I wouldn't mind Chromie and then the elves.

The High Elves that helped the Alliance where fine, but the Blood Elves were basically ripoffs of modern "vampires". Brooding pretty-boys that tended to hurt their allies more than their enemies.
 
Have the Forsaken even been created yet?

Nope! the forsaken were created when illidan tried to blow up Northdred using the Eye of Sargeras and cracked the Icecrown Citadel open, weakening the control of the Lich King over the Scourge. No such thing happened here so the Scourge are all still in the main mindless zombies. The various dragonflights can torch them with impunity and free of any guilt :D
