Murozond and the Infinite Dragonflightinterview with JudgeHypealready reportedChrono-Lord Deios: Your efforts are impressive... but in vain.
Chrono-Lord Deios: The timelines are converging. There will be only one Aspect... and Murozond shall be... Infinite!Dragonflight date announcement trailer“At last it has come to pass. The moment of my demise. The loop is closed. My future self will cause no more harm. Still, in time, I will... fall to madness. And you, heroes... will vanquish me. The cycle will repeat. So it goes. What matters is that Azeroth did not fall; that we survived to fight another day. All that matters... is this moment.”The Infinite Flight directly opposes the ideals of the Bronze Flight and the Timewalkers. We're charged with upholding the timeways, but they believe that time shouldn't be contained in any way. Their ultimate goal is to force our Aspect and leader, Nozdormu, into a terrible future version of himself called Murozond.

We came into conflict with them years ago, and thought they were defeated. But it looks like we still have more work to do.Murozond's the counter part to our own Aspect and leader, Nozdormu. We only know that he's the alternate version of Nozdormu that, after being showed his death by the Titans, was tricked into shattering the timeways to prevent it and instead caused this transformation.

We faced Murozond and won several years ago when he allied himself with Deathwing to bring about the "End Time". We don't know if Eternus and the Infinites are still trying to cause Nozdormu's transformation, or if they have something else planned.Chronicle Volume IIIEternus is an Infinite dragon. Her flight is devoted to deteriorating the timeways in persuit of turning Nozdormu into the prophesied leader of the Infinites: Murozond.

We're luck that the temple has good defenses. They might not have foreseen threats like Eternus, but even clear visions of the future can turn out different than when you first see them.

Comment by DamongeistHe may not become it. Time is odd, but he also MIGHT become him. End time was an ALTERNATE future. The saying goes: those who try to avoid fate may in fact meet it on the road.Comment by NerdelbaumInfinite Dragonflight is so cool. One of the Dracthyr I have planned is an Infinite one.I have a theory that murozond will be used to set up the next expansion. He shatters the timeway while we fight him and we find ourselves shubted across time and space to....the War of the Ancients.Comment by dembroWell, if he dies as Murozond, at least he'll (probably) be an epic ultimate or penultimate raid boss, not some dungeon chump. 🤔Comment by ThrassionI believe Kairozdormu will have something to do with this, as he proclaims to Garrosh before he kills him that "We will be limited by nothing. Not even time. The possibilities are infinite. I will become infinite—".Comment by ScaryfoxAs nice as that might make some people feel, I thought his death already was written in stone.Comment by ChaxtonHe knows how he'll be corrupted. He has every single bit of knowledge he needs to NOT be corrupted. If Nozdormu WILLINGLY lets himself be corrupted despite having every possible way to stop it, it's his own fault and he deserves becoming a loot pinata. Just don't get corrupted, bro. It's not hard. Time travel isn't complicated, but making time travel interesting is. Nozdormu isn't Doc Emmett Brown, after all.Comment by NiccoloMOne of the reasons I did not like the story of Final Fantasy VII was that the end boss was identified right from the beginning, and the whole game was a chase.

And that's exactly the storyline of Shadowlands.

I honestly hope that we aren't told who the end boss is for Dragonflight until 10.3.Comment by NiccoloMHe knows how he'll be corrupted.

I thought he became an infinite dragon after N'zoths promise of immortality. We see it in an alternate universe where Deathwing successfuly destroys Azeroth. But we stopped both Deathwing and N'zoth (bless his heart), so how can Nozdormu still become corrupted?Comment by PrideLoLInfinite Dragonflight is so cool.

The timeways could make the lore further cluttered. It'd be so much easier to just let it go.Comment by IndigloRaverThey get rid of Nozzie and Wrathion, I may just have no real reason to play this game anymore. Fandral's gone, Illidaddy is being a Jailer 2.0. -.-Comment by SoifonInfinite Dragonflight is so cool.

I don't know if they've learned from the past and are keeping Anachronos on the sidelines for a future patch or if they've forgotten he exists completely.

Then again this is the same story team as Shadowlands, odds are Noz will go crazy and Danuser wlll shove the only bronze dragon he knows as the leader aka Chromie.Comment by ArgentroseOddly, it would be nice if there were 1,000's of years before Nizzie met his doom, but I'm guessing that this must be "the most interesting timeline!" Things feel very clustered together in my mind--like the world is falling apart kind of clustered. Anyway, I'd love it if they didn't corrupt Nozzie here but alluded to its future happenings. You know...like -this- starts the unraveling, rather than "this is the unraveling."

I get we have to pocket things around raid end bosses, but...it would be nice to have new ones rather than destroying some of our current standards. Build up some new stock...THEN begin toppling more dominoes.Comment by SinstrikerThe Bronze Flight is all about finding the pathway to victory through trial and error via time travel. Quests mostly involve traveling to the past, future, or alternate reality to find solutions to the present.
