Thaldraszus on the Dragon Isles is the seat of power of the Dragon Aspects and their flights. It stands as a shining beacon of the dragons' kingdom. It is also here that the bronze dragonflight watches over the timeways.^[1] The main city hub of the expansion is here Valdrakken.

After spending time seeing the many dragon-building ruins in the previous three zones, Thaldraszus offers something more pristine with beautifully intact buildings in the seat of power for all five of the dragonflights and the home of the dragons. Vertical lofty mountains and great cave systems.

Built by the Titan keeper Tyr, Tyrhold can be found in Thaldraszus. This ten-thousand-year-old Titan technological marvel houses great aqueducts that reach across the valley. It was Tyr who helped the Aspects fight Galakrond and when they came to settle in the Dragon Isles, it was he who built this facility. Even though Tyr is long gone, the dragons still hold him in reverence. The Titan keepers have continued to maintain Tyrhold while the dragonflights have gone on to take part in an incredible amount of history as the defenders of Azeroth.^[2]

Description

Thaldraszus is a mountainous region and the cradle of dragon civilization. The mountains of Thaldraszus are some of the tallest in the northern parts of the world, matched only by the Storm Peaks.^[3] From formidable structures to complex waterways, titan and dragon influence can be found throughout its diverse biomes. The sense of history in this region is palpable. The bronze dragons used the Temporal Conflux as a seat of power. Its vast libraries of knowledge contain the secrets of the timeways, as well as the Bronze Oathstone that symbolizes their calling to protect all time.

While titan-forged spaces bear distinctive architecture, the places established by the dragons reflect the most cultured aspects of dragon society. The dragons built vast structures, the most glorious of which was Valdrakken. From the top of this grand city, the Aspects passed laws and directed their protection of Azeroth. Also nestled in the heart of Thaldraszus is Tyrhold, home to the Halls of Infusion. A mysterious place that has been locked away for millennia and holds the secrets that Tyr left behind.^[4]

The waters flowing through Thaldraszus' aqueducts come from the Wellspring of Eternity beneath Tyrhold, and the waters are in fact Azeroth's lifeblood.^[5]
