In the Halls of TitansA Mystery, SealedIn the Halls of TitansSecurity Console says: WELCOME, TYR... HAS BEEN ... SINCE THE LAST VISIT. RESUMING ACTIVE PROTOCOLS... STAND BY... STAND BY...
Security Console says: STATUS... HALL OF SAMPLES... COMPROMISED... ASPECTS DATABASE: DATA EXPIRED... PRIME RECORDS... INTACT.Hall of SamplesAir:
Hologram Tyr says: Infused with the element of air, this dragon has gained the ability to express gusts of wind from its body, resulting in an effective, if rudimentary, deterrent for nearby foes.
Hologram Tyr says: The fact that this does not result in an equal, but opposing force applied to the dragon implies the process is innately magical as opposed to mechanical.

Fire:
Hologram Tyr says: The element of fire has seen one of the most successful adoption rates of the species, with subjects able to hurl globes of fire hot enough to melt metal.
Hologram Tyr says: Additionally, those infused with fire are responsible for more attempted outbreaks than the other proto-dragons combined.

Ice:
Hologram Tyr says: Infused with the element of water, this proto-dragon has lost its fire breathing capabilities and gained an equally lethal ability in its stead--the frozen possibilities of ice.
Hologram Tyr says: The fact that a proto-dragon's complete inversion of their elemental tendency is not only possible, but so thorough, generates an intriguing thought exercise.
Hologram Tyr says: Is there any element--or even energy--that, given appropriate conduit, vessel, and time, proto-dragons are unable to integrate?

Earth:
Hologram Tyr says: This proto-dragon has been imbued with the element of earth. It exhibits an increase in scale density with a minor reduction in flexibility compared to baseline proto-dragons.
Hologram Tyr says: Three separate incidents have been recorded where the dragon has nearly breached the containment sphere.Hall of the AspectsNozdormu:
Toddy Whiskers says: I can't make heads or tails of these records. They're as convoluted as those time travelin' bronze dragons!

Alexstrasza:
Interesting--Alexstrasza and Ysera were clutchmates! They had a brother, but... it seems he fell some time before the Aspects were created.

Ysera:
Looks like Ysera was always the gentle one. Says here she thought peace could be made with the undead. Odd... none of our history mentions the dragons fightin' undead.

Malygos:
It says here that before Malygos became an Aspect, he almost succumbed to undeath! That doesn't make any sense--what undeath are they talking about?

Neltharion:
Huh! Neltharion used to be one of Alexstrasza's closest friends and confidants. ...it must have broken her heart tae see him fall tae madness.Hall of RecordsTitan DiscNaleidea Rivergleam says: From what we can tell, these discs are rich in information--
Toddy Whiskers says: -but not in answers.
Naleidea Rivergleam says: Tyr was cataloging the lifecycle and overall potency of the various proto-dragon phenotypes in the Dragon Isles, although for what purpose we're uncertain.
Naleidea Rivergleam says: In addition, he was keeping a considerable database on the role, disposition, and relative power of the Aspects.
Naleidea Rivergleam says: Tyr's interest in the Aspects seems logical, but the proto-dragons, somewhat less so.
Naleidea Rivergleam says: But the fact that he went to such lengths to keep this facility and its contents a secret--
Toddy Whiskers says: That's the real mystery.References to Dawn of the AspectsDawn of the Aspects

Comment by corvettesloverMy prediction is that the brother has the power of undeath! And was the mastermind behind shadowlands! This missing piece could be interesting…Comment by SaadiaWell you get a quest unlock at the expedition camp after that questline ends, but not immediately (timer cooldown, or reset, didn't think about it when I did it), too bad it isn't shown in the article.Comment by bazzylFound a video showing whole questline: https://youtu.be/NWVtCbNBBEIComment by ArthustinusNo idea why this specific quest chain are buried deep with the renown system progress (24/25 renown point with dragonscale expedition ) ,unless it has a significant outcome later in the lore ; "the discs".

The other quest chains was a bit more interesting than this one (specially Ysera's quest chain) so lets just assume my pervious statement that it may get more interesting later on !Comment by ChiddieQuite annoying to see all these quest lines locked behind reputation, doing quests is my favorite in-game activity.Comment by UnowhatNo idea why this specific quest chain are buried deep with the renown system progress (24/25 renown point with dragonscale expedition ) ,unless it has a significant outcome later in the lore ; "the discs".

Terrible decision for this expansion.Comment by BullseyedMy prediction is that the brother has the power of undeath! And was the mastermind behind shadowlands!

I literally lost all interest in anything this expansion renown related. Atm I can't even finish the lvl 19 renown quest because I have not done the ohnara campaign. It's absurd. How has blizzard not learnt anything from lat xpacs?Comment by AntelogosMy prediction is that the brother has the power of undeath! And was the mastermind behind shadowlands!

Though I do agree... putting this quest at 24/25 in the renown bar for the Dragonscale Expedition is odd and tedious. Especially since the expedition is probably harder to get renown compared to the other 3 major ones. Valdrakken has an abundant amount of ways to get reputation, Maruuk has a bunch of dungeon quests along with the hunts, and give a lot of hunting trophies to turn in.. and the Tuskarr have the soup event and fishing dailies.Comment by pawpurrI don't understand the people acting like Dragonscale rep is hard. It's the easiest one. I was 25 with them on 12/08/22.

Been waiting a while for the general public to get to this quest. The reason it's timegated is you're supposed to have done all the other quests first - It's not clear if it occurs before or after the vault of incarnates, But it's definitely occurring after the evens of the level up campaign.

My take on this whole situation is, Why do people think Tyr is a good guy? He is weird and scary, he'll trap you in his basement and do experiments on you for eternity.Comment by NnycoPeople not maxed out on renown yet?Comment by emu1981I don't understand the people acting like Dragonscale rep is hard.

The mention of the undead and peace negotiations between them and the Green Dragons might play a role down the line. It didn't seem possible for the dragons to make peace with the undead at least until Shadowlands. Especially since Ysera works under the Winter Queen now, so she might become the bridge to make peace negotiations with the undead.

Though, I'm really not sure what "undead" are they referring to since the Lich King's forces are dismantledComment by LautnerPower shouldn't be locked behind renown.

But now you're saying neither should quests? They were in Shadowlands and that was the last thing anyone complained about.

Nah. This is perfect. Please continue. I don't want every single quest done on day one. I want something to come up a month into the game and go "Oh, awesome."

However, I hope the quests are unlocked when the next story patch comes through.Comment by don1010220So the twist is the titans or more specifically tyr created the primalists where as the titans created the aspects lolComment by SarthoriusQuite annoying to see all these quest lines locked behind reputation, doing quests is my favorite in-game activity.Comment by b0ogdannI don't understand the people acting like Dragonscale rep is hard.
