That’s right, just as soon as we think things are going to calm down for a while. Just as soon as we’ve settled into a comforable routine of raids, and it seems that PvP is going to be our only option for a while, Blizzard decides to give us something else to keep us occupied.

Rather than just rest for a while and test Cataclysm in secret, they keep the content coming. This time around it’s a new raid that involves every fantasy nerds favorite beasty: dragons.

For you lore freaks out there, the premise is interesting enough. Ten millenia ago the dragonflights all joined together to form the Wyrmrest Accord. The basic idea was to pool their resources to fight off the Scourge before it could use the old divide and conquer routine. This seems to have worked for the most part since the Accord, led by the red dragonflight. They held the Scourge out of Azeroth for everything they were worth.

Over time a little strife entered into the dysfunctional dragon family. The reds were still warring with the blues when they found out that the blacks were harboring some twilight dragon eggs. This being a serious no-no, the reds were uncertain how to respond. They didn’t have the resources to challenge them outright, so in the end they got some mortals to do their dirty work. By letting the info about the eggs slip to the right persons, a band of heroes was dispatched to destroy the eggs and end the threat. The plan succeeded, but the blacks were more than a little perturbed by the death of their leader and the fact that the whole incident was swept under the rug.

Now the Ruby Sanctum, home of the reds and location of a clutch of red eggs, is apparently completely empty. They haven’t been returning their calls, the guards are AWOL, and no one knows just what could have happened. Most fear the blacks have come back for their revenge, but any overt attack would have triggered all sorts of alarms. No one knows for sure just what has happened, but we get to find out.

Of course, looting rights are implied. This sounds like it’s going to be a doozy of a raid, so you’ll really want to buy WoW gold so that you’re ready for it. It promises to be a good time.
