Blue dragonflight The blue dragonflight , formerly ruled by Malygos , the lord of magic , was all but devastated by the evil Deathwing and his black dragonflight . The Blue Dragonflight is now ruled by Kalecgos . Though there are few great blue dragons left in the world , their magical powers are awesome to behold . Native to Northrend , the few blues stay relatively close to the great Dragonblight , where they commune with the ancient dragon spirits who died in ages past . Their freezing breath and gargantuan claws have been the death of many hapless travelers in Northrend . Member types . The blue dragonflight includes the blue dragons themselves as well as all other blue dragonkin such as dragonspawn and drakonids . Culture . The Blue Dragonflight encompasses both the literal descendants of Malygos — the blue dragons — and their loyal servants and companions , the blue dragonspawn . For the thousands of years between the Sundering and the destruction of the Demon Soul , blue dragons were all but unheard of , but they have begun to emerge in the world once again . Historically , dragons have had a reputation for spending their days in solitary contemplation of the secrets of the world , but in recent times blue dragons have proved to be more social due to the growing threats to all living creatures . In addition to their noted obsession with magic , blue dragons also enjoy researching other subjects . They could be called the academics among dragons ; they have begun to serve more and more as the teachers of younger members of other species . While in humanoid form , many dragons also notice the scientific discoveries of other races and take an increasing interest in the development of engineering and similar studies . Adult blue dragons most often have names ending in " gos " , or " gosa " for females . Sometimes synonyms of the word " blue " , or terms relating to spellcasting find their way into a blue dragon ' s name as well . When taking humanoid form blue dragons most often choose gnomish or high elven forms . Society . Malygos is said to have established magic itself and created all the spells that set the sky and earth into motion . While he is not revered as a god , for blue dragons see no godhood in scientific fact , he is considered the greatest scientific mind ever to have existed in the multiverse — or , at least , his flight considers him so . Blue dragons have a natural affinity for spellcasting , and most powers of sorcery are instinct even to young drakes . Because of their natural propensity for magic , they have high magic resistances and can withstand many magical attacks . They are also the masters of frost , their breath weapon can drain enemies ’ magic energy , an effect the blue dragons term “ withdrawing Malygos ’ s favor . ” Blues find all forms of ice and water welcome , most making their lairs in the frozen peaks of mountains or in caverns near , or under , freezing water . Their traditional home is Northrend , where they remain close to the great Dragonblight , the final resting place of dragons . The blue dragons once communed with the dead there to ensure that each draconic spirit made its way into the Beyond . Northrend lies much in control of the Scourge , but blues still make pilgrimages to the dark northlands , seeking answers hidden among the bones of their dead . The most powerful blue dragon sorcerers claim that the spirits of the dead tell them a new upheaval is on its way , a cataclysm that will outweigh any trouble the world of Azeroth has yet endured . The blue dragons say this often , no matter what disaster the world suffers , so few have given their words much credence this time . More and more dragons however , migrate to the caverns of Mazthoril in Winterspring on Kalimdor . This migration occurs for two main reasons : First , because of the growing concern about another imminent attack on the World Tree ; and second , to retreat from the Scourge , which some dragons see as a threat the dragonflight is not prepared to conquer . Blue dragons are a bit xenophobic , keeping to their territories and maintaining their own studies without interference . They are highly territorial , largely due to their paranoia that any intruder wandering into their lairs are probably agents of the black dragonflight , and won ' t hesitate to attack if his territory is invaded . Under such circumstances , a blue dragon is as violent and destructive as any black dragon . In previous years , blue dragons even attacked each other over territorial disputes , but such conflicts are unlikely now that so many dragons have adapted to living in groups for protection . In modern days blue dragons are rare and difficult to find , thus their society does not have a rigid hierarchy . Although some great blue dragons remain in the world , they are few and far between , studying their magic almost to the exclusion of all else . All blue dragons serve Malygos with roughly equal standing , although there are some ancient dragons who are considered authority figures simply due to their great knowledge and mastery of magic . In essence , it is a society ruled by the powerful , but in a group of intellectuals such as these any real ranking system would do nothing but cause endless debate . Males and females have equal standing in blue dragon society , although usually it is the female who chooses her mate . With a few exceptions , blue dragons usually take only a single mate , and they are immensely protective of their mates and children . Female blue dragons sometimes stalk and observe a potential mate in a number of different forms to gauge the male ’ s worth before revealing themselves . Studies . Blue dragons are the undisputed masters of magic , their culture revolving around the study and cataloging of magic and spells , primarily but not exclusively arcane magic . They focus on advancing in spellcasting ability , and the acquisition of knowledge and greater magical power to the exclusion of almost everything else , but this is not to say they are single minded . Rather , the dragons are extremely loyal , and know that the Titan s gave their master his domain so that they would use their magic to keep the world safe . As such , the “ proper ” use of magic is a matter of great importance to the dragons — while blue dragons are naturally curious about the use of warlock magic and the like , they consider such forms of magic to be perversions of nature . For this reason , warlock s and necromancer s are considered enemies of the dragonflight , although the dragons have higher priorities on their hit list — namely every living black dragon . In their pursuit of magic , blue dragons infiltrate mortal societies in humanoid forms to learn more about how mortals practice spellcasting . While some dragons have engaged in this activity for centuries , it has been widespread only since Malygos ' s recent recovery from years of insanity . While the dragons are primarily interested in arcane magic , other forms interest them as well , especially those that do not require the worship of a divine being . For this reason , a number of blue dragons engage in a scholarly study of the Holy Light . It isn ' t surprising to find blue dragons in the ranks of many mortal orders : the Kirin Tor , naturally , but also orders dedicated to the Light such as the Argent Dawn and the Knights of the Silver Hand . Blue dragons are scholars and often learn many languages , posing as mortal wizards and even paladins to better study the magical progress of the younger races . Many strive to impress their master , Malygos . Members of the blue flight value other thinkers such as writers , artist , spellcasters , academic types , and engineers . They have associated with the elves for the centuries , and more recently they study the unique skills of dwarven , gnome , and goblin engineers . They delight in knowledge and in samples of new crafts . Blue Dragonspawn , more often than the dragonspawn of other flights , become proficient arcanists and rise to positions of power and authority within their broods , General Colbatann of Mazthoril being a prime example . This is credited to the unusual intelligence and disposition towards magic associated with the blue dragonflight . Many other dragonspawn are warriors , rogues , hunters , scouts or gladiators . A few dragonspawn priests worship the blue dragonflight or Malygos , contrary to most blue dragon beliefs , but shamans and druids are almost unheard of among the blue dragonflight . Faith . The blue dragonflight ’ s belief system is scientific ; they seek proof of everything , and take little on faith or word of mouth alone . The dragons revere Malygos as a creator of magic , but not as a god ; rather , they feel Malygos is simply the greatest scientific mind that has ever existed . Those dragons that know of the Titans respect them as powerful users of magic and as creators , but they consider the Titans good examples and mentors , not divinities to be worshiped . Likewise , the dragons respect the followers of Elune , Cenarius and the other Ancients , but they do not worship these entities . Mentality . The blue dragonflight is focused on the pursuit of ever greater power and knowledge . This doesn ’ t make them completely egocentric ; the dragons share what they learn to help others of their kind as well as the world in general . Many blue dragons strive to impress their master , Malygos , with their knowledge of magic , or invent new spells or magic items . Members of the blue dragonflight value other thinkers , including spellcasters , engineers , writers , artists and general academic types . If a mortal shows a blue dragon a spell he has never seen , they earn that dragon ’ s respect . If they teach the dragon that spell , the mortal likely gains the dragon ’ s gratitude for a lifetime — and blues live a very long time . Generally , members of the blue dragonflight consider adventurers in general to be kindred spirits , but they highly favor those who are clever , inventive and powerful . Relations . While blue dragons are slowly growing in numbers again , they lack the power to take on the children of Deathwing , such as Onyxia and Nefarion , directly . As such , the blues entrust favored mortals with the task of fighting against these powerful black dragons , and reward their mortal allies with magical secrets and objects of power in return for risking their lives to aid the dragonflight . Generally , the blue dragonflight likes the mortal races , especially those that practice arcane magic , but there are a few exceptions . Most blue dragons dislike goblins , since many goblins serve the black dragonflight , and it was a group of goblins that outfitted Deathwing with the adamantine armor attached to his scales . Also , blue dragons are wary of orcs , due to their role in enslaving the red dragonflight in recent years . Relations between the blue dragonflight and the other dragonflights have dramatically improved since the fall of Deathwing at Grim Batol ; many of the other dragons felt that the blues abandoned them after the construction of the World Tree ; but now red , bronze and blue dragons guard Nordrassil together once again . Now , it should be noted however that several Blues are somewhat bitter after the events of the Nexus War . Corruption . Blue dragons are some of the foremost arcane spellcasters on Azeroth . As such , some are concerned that the demons ’ taint may touch and corrupt the dragonflight . These concerns are unfounded ; blue dragons , blue wyrmkin , and the rest of the dragonflight are immune to arcane corruption — though no one yet understands why . Perhaps they have mastered magic to such an extent that they surpassed the danger . If this is true , perhaps arcanists of other races can achieve similar transcendence . History . Charge of the Dragonflights . Before the Titans departed Azeroth , they charged the greatest species of the world with the task of watching over it . In that age , there were many dragonflight s , yet five flights , one of which was the blue , held dominion over their brethren , and were chosen to shepherd the budding world . The greatest members of the Pantheon imbued a portion of their power upon each of the flights ' leaders . Norgannon , the Titan lore keeper and master - magician , granted the blue dragon , Malygos , a portion of his vast power . From then on , Malygos would be known as the Spell - Weaver , the guardian of magic and hidden arcanum . The time following this came to be known as the Age of Dragons , when the civilization of dragonkind was at it ' s peak . For thousands of years , his children prospered and experimented with the eldritch powers of the universe , unrivaled in their mastery of arcane power . The blue dragons were numerous and co - existed peacefully with the other dragonflights , working together to safeguard their world . But this age would not last forever . War of the Ancients . When the night elves inadvertently called the Burning Legion to the world , the blue dragons were among the first to realize the potential threat ; and when the Aspect of the Earth , Neltharion , suggested creating a magical artifact to aid in the destruction of the demons , the blues were some of the first to agree to the plan . Malygos himself was one of Neltharion ’ s closest friends , and he gave much of his own essence toward the creation of this object , called the Dragon Soul . When each dragon had contributed a portion of his or her essence to the artifact , Neltharion deemed it complete , and brought it to bear against the demons — but only for a precious few moments . Soon , he turned the artifact against the terrified night elves as well , and finally his own brethren . The shocked dragons were helpless to resist the power of the Dragon Soul , for it contained a fraction of the essence of each — with the exception of Neltharion himself . All the dragonflights , save Neltharion ’ s own , were paralyzed in the air until the timely intervention of Korialstrasz , one of the mates of the red dragonqueen , who had been absent from the initial use of the artifact . While Korialstrasz was no match for the might of the Aspect of Earth , he was powerful enough to interrupt Neltharion ’ s concentration for a moment , which freed the other dragons from their paralysis and allowed them to act . Malygos , infuriated at the betrayal by one of his closest companions , struck first , but at a great price . As the blue dragonflight flew into formation to attack Neltharion , the mighty black wyrm unleashed the full fury of the Dragon Soul against them , and the power instantly slew nearly every one of them . Malygos narrowly managed to raise a protective spell fast enough to survive , and only a handful of others reached the safety of his barrier in time . As the other dragons turned to act , Neltharion retreated , leaving the blue dragonflight broken in his wake . Following the betrayal , the surviving red , green , and bronze dragons secluded themselves , hoping to recover from the Dragon Soul ' s powers . Korialstrasz teleported himself to the icy caverns of the blue flight to search for any remaining life . He found none , save a few nearly frozen , but still intact , eggs . Knowing these eggs were the only hope of a future the blue flight had , he placed them in a pocket universe , where time ran ever so slowly , until he could pass them on to someone he could trust . The Kaldorei and their allies managed to defeat the legion , but at great cost . Azeroth was sundered . After the Sundering . The loss of most of his children and mates drove Malygos out of his mind . Malygos continued for some time in the war against Neltharion , who now called himself Deathwing , but Malygos ’ s presence in the world diminished over time . Perhaps Malygos ’ s last sane act was placing many of his surviving dragons in the caverns of Mazthoril to hold eternal vigil over the sacred site of Mt . Hyjal , location of the world tree Nordrassil and the second Well of Eternity . Malygos , in his rage and grief , split his home from the rest of the land , creating the gap later known as the Westrift that separates Coldarra from what had become mainland Northrend . The few survivors settled on Coldarra , carving their own caverns out of the Nexus . For 10 , 000 years the Aspect Malygos fell deeper and deeper into his madness . He isolated himself in his lair and refused all visitors . Blue Dragons were rarely seen , and most of the survivors had gone into hiding from the blacks . For thousands of years , none but a few of the most ancient dragons knew of Malygos ’ s whereabouts , and much of his dragonflight hid in solitude , realizing their fight against Deathwing was doomed without their leader . After having nearly wiped out the flight , the black dragons were not ready to leave the last few blues in peace . The survivors of the blue flight had fled to Northrend , when Deathwing attacked , slaughtering them by the dozens . The survivors fought back but were no match for Deathwing ' s ferocity . In the process their homes were destroyed and the land so damaged it could never recover . The area became the Dragonblight . Over what is now Crystalsong Forest another battle between the blacks and blues was waged . The dying blues released their magic and it sprinkled down to cover the landscape . Finally a elder blue wyrm , beset by many blacks , released a spell to turn his attackers into stone , but the magic blanketing the area amplified the spell and crystallized the landscape . The drawn out war between the black dragonflight and the other flights decimated the species , with all flights losing members , the blues losing many of what few they had left . The dragonflights hunted the blacks to the brink of extinction , but were greatly weakened by their sacrifice to the Demon Soul . Ultimately the blacks were nearly wiped out , though the other flights never truly recovered from those dark times and were never again seen in the same numbers as before . The Age of Dragons had passed . Guardians of Magic . A few remaining members of his flight continued their mad masters job of studying magic throughout the millennia in attempts to keep the mortal race ' s abuse of it in check . The Arcanomicon , a map of the world ' s ley lines gifted to Malygos ages ago by the titan Norgannon , has been continuously updated and revised by the blue dragons over the long years of Malygos ' s seclusion . Other blues , such as Sapphiron and Azuregos , continued to search for and hoard artifacts of great magical power , keeping them from inexperienced hands . When the legion was planning its second invasion of Azeroth , another agent , Arcanagos , attempted to sway the Guardian Medivh away from the path he was taking under the control of the Dark Titan , Sargeras . War of the Shifting Sands . A thousand years before modern times , the almost - extinct blue dragons still managed to lend their aid to the night elves and the bronze dragonflight during the War of the Shifting Sands . Led by Arygos , child of Malygos , the blues fought the Silithid and their Qiraji masters furiously and ultimately helped push them back to their city where they were sealed away from the world . The dragons suffered few casualties but the progeny of Malygos , Arygos , was until recently believed lost , having charged deep into Ahn ' Qiraj during the final push . After the war a shard of the Scepter of the Shifting Sands was entrusted to the blue wyrm Azuregos by Anachronos the bronze . Battle of Grim Batol . In the events leading up to the Second War , Deathwing led a powerful orc warlock named Nekros to the Dragon Soul — now renamed the Demon Soul — and instructed him how to use it . Nekros used the Demon Soul to force the red Dragon Aspect , Alexstrasza , into submission , and forced the rest of the red dragonflight to serve him or risk the death of their queen . Korialstrasz , who escaped by faking his death and taking the identity of an archmage of the Kirin Tor , sought the other Aspects for help . Though each Aspect was difficult to convince , he eventually succeeded , and the dragons battled Deathwing in the sky near Grim Batol . Korialstrasz ’ s human apprentice , Rhonin , defeated Nekros and used one of Deathwing ’ s scales to destroy the Demon Soul . The destruction of the artifact released the ancient power that had been sealed inside for millennia , and allowed the Aspects to defeat Deathwing and force him to retreat . This final battle was known as the Battle of Grim Batol . Malygos had seemed almost indifferent to the news at first . When Korialstrasz asked for Malygos ' assistance in his queen ' s rescue he hinted to the lord of the blues that as the aspect of life , there could be something Alexstrasza could do for him and his nearly - extinct flight . After heavy consideration and some coaxing from Ysera , he agreed . After having his powers restored to him , Malygos regained his sanity and his agents became more active in the world . The blue dragonflight , still recovering from the events that occurred ten thousand years ago , nevertheless continued to safeguard the world from corrupting magic and those who would wield it . Since the blue dragonflight was so long secluded from the affairs of mortals , most were pleasantly surprised at the progress humans and high elves had made . Their pride in the accomplishments of these races allows them to justify taking humanoid form to trade secrets with the mortals . Since Deathwing ’ s disappearance , the black dragonflight is less organized , and this chaos allowed the blues the chance to strike back against the murderous dragons who hunted them for millennia . General Cobaltann , one of the eldest and most powerful of the blue dragonspawn , organized an army to protect all creatures against the threat of the black dragonflight — and if he has his way , his army will grow strong enough to obliterate the black dragonflight . Aftermath of the Third War . The blue dragonflight was nearly absent from the battle against the second coming of the legion , also known as the Third War . In the aftermath of the Battle of Mount Hyjal , blue dragon guardians were stationed at Hyjal Summit , where they , along with the Reds , Greens , and Bronzes , guard the World Tree from another attack by the remnants of the Burning Legion in Darkwhisper Gorge . During the war the fabled Sunwell had been lost to the Elves of Quel ' thalas . Malygos and the blues felt a great flaring of power , coming from Lordaeron . The Spell - Weaver , with no elders at his disposal , sent the young Kalecgos to investigate . Tyrygosa , Kalecgos ' s intended mate , followed soon after , arriving just in time to save Kalecgos from the Scourge . In their company was a strange young woman by the name of Anveena Teague . On a visit to Tarren Mill they were joined by the paladin Jorad Mace . The four journeyed together , their exploits eventually leading them to Quel ' thalas where after being assaulted by Dar ' Khan Drathir and an enslaved Korialstrasz they discovered Anveena was the new avatar of the Sunwell . Dar ' khan was defeated and Anveena was left in the care of Lor ' themar Theron and Halduron Brightwing . Kalecgos , having sworn to look after her , remained in Quel ' thalas as Anveena ' s guardian . The Burning Legion survivors of the third war , led by Lord Kazzak were ultimely able to reopen the Dark Portal . Once the initial demonic onslaught was subdued , a number of nether dragons attempted to cross into Azeroth , only to be met by a force of blue dragons whom quickly destroyed and prevented all but one in entering . The lone survivor , Zzeraku , was however quickly captured by Sintharia . Since that time the blue dragons monitor the portal from their sanctum , and nothing crosses in or out without their knowing . In World of Warcraft . The icy caverns of Mazthoril in Winterspring teem with blue dragonkin under the Matron Protectorate , Haleh , and General Colbatann . These dragonkin are fierce enemies of the black flight and desire to strike out against its new leaders ; Nefarian and Onyxia . They also keep an eye on the demons to the south in Darkwhisper Gorge . The dragons are concerned the demons there will soon launch another attack against Mount Hyjal and the dragons stationed there . Recently they have come under attack by Nefarian ' s dragonriders , coming in the darkness of night , and kidnapping whelps to be used in experiments to create a new chromatic flight . Azuregos and his brood of dragonspawn guard the ruins of the ancient night elven city of Eldarath . The city is rumored to hold many powerful highborne artifacts scattered throughout the ruins . Azuregos will stop at nothing to safeguard these artifacts from falling into mortal hands . Arygos , thought to have been lost during the War of the Shifting Sands , was recently found to be alive inside Ahn ' Qiraj , as a slave of C ' thun , along with Caelestrasz and Merithra . The dark master of Ahn ' Qiraj used the tortured dragons to power his new creations : Moam and the other Obsidian destroyer s . Andorgos came to Ahn ' Qiraj after sensing his trapped brethren within , but dares not travel into the temple from fear of falling under the old god ' s control . In Burning Crusade . Tyrygosa , princess of the blue flight , has traveled to the shattered realm of Outland to study the mysterious Nether Dragon s . The nether dragons are the spawn of Deathwing , who as eggs were exposed to the arcane energies of the twisting nether when Draenor was shattered by Ner ' zhul ' s portals . Tyrygosa seeks to better understand the rogue nether dragons , under the control of Veraku , and ultimately take control of them and keep their temperament , inherited from their sire , under control . Kalecgos had until recently remained guarding Anveena on Quel ' Danas . The return of the Sun King , Kael ' thas Sunstrider , fresh from his defeat in Tempest Keep , has brought the Burning Legion to Azeroth , and Kalecgos has been taken as their slave . Malygos has sent Madrigosa to assist Kalecgos in combating the demonic horde . Wrath of the Lich King . Having awoken from the madness that engulfed him , Malygos quickly assessed the state of magical affairs on Azeroth and concluded that magic was running amok throughout the world , blaming the mortal races and their reckless pursuit of magical power . Determined to forestall a catastrophe , the blue aspect decreed that the world ' s unbridled magic must be reined in by any means necessary . Determined to manipulate all existing magic to serve his own purposes , he now seeks to divert Azeroth ' s ley lines to his own home , the Nexus by the use of giant constructs known as Surge needle s . The blue dragonflight has been ordered to maneuver the colossal machines into key positions over magical ley line clusters , their work has already begun in the Dragonblight . Malygos ' actions however carry disastrous consequences , splintering the world ' s crust and opening unstable rifts in the twisting nether . If successful , his tampering could result in an ecological and magical catastrophe that would threaten not only the stability of Northrend , but ultimately the equilibrium of the entire world . The red dragonflight and the Kirin Tor now fight against Malygos in this Nexus War . In their campaign to rein in the world ' s umbridled magic , the blue dragonflight has diverted much of the ley lines ' magical energy to the Azure Dragonshrine , empowering the flight and altering their appearance . With this power the blue flight has boldly began to launch attacks against Wyrmrest Temple , what was once considered neutral ground . The other flights have formed the Wyrmrest Accord , and fight back to defend the temple against their misguided brethren . As the Nexus War has ended , an ambassador of the Blue Dragonflight , Kalecgos , can now be found at the top of the Wyrmrest Temple . He assists players during the Quel ' delar chain quest . In Cataclysm . With the death of Malygos , the black dragonflight has invaded Azshara to hunt down Azuregos . Azuregos , along with Kalec , will help low level Horde players repel the invasion . Kalecgos has also been confirmed by Chris Metzen at Blizzcon 2010 to be made the Blue Dragon Aspect . In Mists of Pandaria . Blue dragonflight has effectively disbanded during the events of " Tides of War " , with most , if not all , dragons leaving their Coldarra home . It is stated in the novel they were driven by desire to find new place in the new world where Hour of Twilight has passed . Their former Dragon aspect has joined the Kirin Tor .
