In Azure Span, Camp Antonidas is a Kirin Tor camp that has been set up in a ruin. In a side questline, players help investigate the original purpose of this area - a monument to the love between Malygos and Sindragosa!
Camp Antonidas
The Azure Span is the ancestral home to the Blue Dragonflight, the flight associated with arcane magic. It should be no surprise, therefore, that the Kirin Tor can be found in this zone, investigating an ancient ruin to discover the magical secrets it holds.
What is surprising is the pair of Vulpera Kirin Tor Apprentices, Scumpy and Tucky, who seem to be magical prodigies - if somewhat unaware of how unusual their talents are themselves.
How did you two join the Kirin Tor?
How does anyone join the Kirin Tor?
We stowed away on a particularly nice caravan, found some shiny wands, taught ourselves advanced trigonometry, used a borrowed gryphon to visit Dalaran, and impressed the council enough to let us stick around.
What a dumb question.
It is these two remarkable apprentices who helps us discover the meaning behind the ruins - as they are able to reveal lingering images that seem to be part of a poem, telling the story of Malygos, former Aspect of the Blue Dragonflight, and Sindragosa, his prime consort.
Hark! Dear one!
You who stand whence magic sprung, where titans' children play.
A time of long rebirth.
A time of loneliness for the eldest son, most loved Malygos, beloved ere begotten in mind and spirit by Norgannon, aesir-born.
From him, platinum clad, did Malygos build these great works.
Behold them and rejoice, O'dearly beloved.
Hark! Dear one! You who stand whence dusty strove, where knowledge freely lives.
These are the works undying that build cool tempered understanding for she who knows no equal nor master still.
Sindragosa.
Illuminated by transcendent intellect; arcana unfettered, beauty everlasting.
In her wings the firmament finds itself transformed, the colors run betwixt lilting lines of autumn streams.
Some run fierce as hot mana burns.
Hark! Dear one! You who stand whence true love fell off the page like so many words.
These are the breaths unfading, uttered betwixt sighs of creation arcane;
In books did twin souls reside, their crackling spines lit with lines of magic.
He the first steward of knowledge, and she his muse in mind and deed.
Side by side were they joined, kept atop these icy calving shelves with bookends opalescent and grey.
These painted halls awash in blue.
Hark! Dear one! You who stand whence all was freely shared, where greed nor hubris live.
Long may you stay in love's conquered breast, born aloft on wings of knowledge teal.
This is the song of that mirror blue.
The image azure incarnate.
You who stand here remember those whose love made magic manifest, whose power begot flight and fierce aspect in their azure brethren.
Sing now of these great works, beloved. Malygos and Sindragosa.
Two hearts that time nor distance dims.
<You can barely make out a faded signature, "Divo Songscale".>
Finally, we investigate the top of a tall tower at the center of the ruin, to discover the spirit of the poet - Divo Songscale - still lingers in the area, unable to rest. At the moment, players can tell Divo about Sindragosa's death.
Divo Songscale says: Be you friend?
Divo Songscale says: This place was once a monument to love. Now it is a ruin.
Divo Songscale says: In the chamber below rages the parts of my soul which I poured into these works. It will not rest.
The spirit gestures to the room below.
Divo Songscale says: Please, let me rest.
I can but hardly see you, friend, so tired are these eyes. I have stood watch here for a long time. The coffin that bore my body is now dust, yet these lonely bones remain.
Thus all things are altered. Nothing dies. Here and there an unbodied spirit flies...
Why can't you rest?
My spirit is bound to these walls and their cold vigil. They bear witness to the greatest of loves. Malygos and Sindragosa. The Lord of Magic and his Azure Queen.
It was for their love that I built these works, and it is from that love that a desperate tether binds my spirit. Time and circumstance are cruel stewards, to lovers and art alike.
A part of me cannot accept that.
Sindragosa died in Northrend. I'm sorry.
<Divo pauses for a moment.>
What is there to be sorry of, but that she had been loved?
Finally, players help Divo Songscale by dealing with the Echo of Loss, which seems to finally bring some peace to the spirit.
Echo of Loss says: My work! Woe betide these crumbling walls!
Echo of Loss says: Lord Malygos...Lady Sindragosa...
Echo of Loss says: ...remember us.
Like many of the quests we're seeing so far in Dragonflight, this quest does a good job of invoking a feeling of the ancient home of the Dragonflights as well as how much it's changed since the flights left. There is a lingering sense of abandonment, as this spirit holds on to memories of a love between dragons who are long dead.
There is also tension below the surface of this story, as we know the fates of the dragons. When Neltharion betrayed his fellow Dragon Aspects, he used the Dragon Soul to lash out, nearly decimating the entire Blue Dragonflight. Sindragosa was mortally wounded, and she died angry, filled with hate, and alone. Thousands of years later, she would be raised into undeath and forced to serve the Lich King Arthas, before we eventually killed her in Icecrown Citadel.
Malygos, meanwhile, never quite recovered from losing almost his entire flight. After thousands of years of a state of near paralyzing grief, he finally seemed to be coming back into himself, only to begin a war against magic users. Ultimately, we had to face and defeat him in the Eye of Eternity.
