Chapter Summaries

Blue Bay City became an elemental-industrial center, while Medivh grew closer to Shyvana and learned that she might teach Veledra the Red Dragon Secret Art. As Sunset City’s forces fought the Swamp Monsters, Shyvana identified their new Mud Swamp Dragon fighters as Sub-Dragons and suggested Oriana could bring them under her control.

• The Skeleton Corps rebuilt Blue Bay City as an elemental-industrial city and used its Elemental Well to increase Elemental Crystal production.

Medivh resurrected an ancient Yellow Bone Dragon in the Rock Dragon Tomb while the Dragon Spirit Guardians chose Oriana as leader of the Rock Dragon Clan. The newly restored Rock Bone Dragon Nadal emerged with them, leaving the Mud Swamp Dragon elder baffled by his strange, living-like nature.

• Medivh refined an eleven-hundred-year-old Yellow Bone Dragon skeleton in the Rock Dragon Tomb, awakening its Dragon Spirit Guardians.

• Medivh restored the Bone Dragon with Earth Element Crystals, and it grew into a powerful Rock Bone Dragon named Nadal who retained his memories from life.
• Nadal accepted Oriana as clan leader and agreed to follow her orders, while Medivh realized the resurrection might someday help him bring back his mother.
• Medivh, Oriana, and Nadal left the tomb, and the Mud Swamp Dragon elder recognized that Nadal was neither an ordinary living dragon nor an undead creature.

Medivh resurrected Nadal and used Oriana’s authority to bring the Mud Swamp Dragons under the Rock Dragon Clan, while promising to help them evolve. After building ties with the clan and resurrecting twenty-five Rock Bone Dragons, Medivh began another breakthrough by creating a Red Bone Mud Swamp Dragon.

• Shyvana let Lairna stay with her, and Lairna met Vellona, who had come at Medivh's request to learn the Red Dragon Secret Art.

• The Wrynn Family agreed to serve as quartermaster for the Odyssey Expeditionary Legion but sent no combat troops.

• By early April of the following year, Medivh successfully resurrected a Top-Grade Red Bone Transcendental Skeleton.
• Medivh contacted his eight Bone Spirit Substitutes and reviewed the Skeleton forces they had raised, totaling nearly 7.9 million Grey, White, Green, Blue, and Low-Grade Purple Bone Skeletons over three years.

• Red Dragon Lairna mistook the bombardment for a volcanic eruption, while Red Dragon Shyvana dismissed the cannon fire as small-time fireworks.

The City-State Alliance launched a decisive assault on the Scare-Claw Tribe after the Castle Cannons devastated its strongholds, while Red Dragon Shyvana and her forces seized the western hills.
