Watcher Koranos is a titanic watcher located on the Dragon Isles. As the last survivor of the group that was charged with watching its shorelines, he was the one who reactivated the Beacon of Tyrhold. Though willing to sacrifice himself for the task, he was saved by Alexstrasza, who had come in response to the beacon's reactivation.[1] Having been around when the Isles were the pinnacle of the dragons' kingdom, he has a special place within their hearts.[2]
History

This section is a lore stub. |
As the last survivor of the group of watchers that were charged with watching the Dragon Isles shorelines, he was the one who reactivated the Beacon of Tyrhold. Though willing to sacrifice himself for the task, he was saved by Alexstrasza, who had come in response to the beacon's reactivation.[1] Having been around when the Isles were the pinnacle of the dragons' kingdom, he has a special place within their hearts.[2]
Following the liberation of Raszageth, he joined Alexstrasza, Nozdormu, Kalecgos, and Wrathion to discuss the matter, where the Aspects decided that they must restore their former power.[3]
He eventually attended the gathering at Amirdrassil when it bloomed on the Dragon Isles after Fyrakk's death.

Quotes
Gossip
- At the Seat of the Aspects
Welcome to the great city of Valdrakken.
It has been centuries since the Aspects have been back to their seat of power and the streets were filled with liveliness. I am deeply grateful to Queen Alexstrasza for saving me, so that I might see the city prosperous once more.
- In front of the Seat of the Aspects
Hello champion, and welcome to Valdrakken. How may I help you?
- Initial at Tyrhold
Keeper Tyr forged me to keep watch for any threats to these isles. I hope that he is proud of me, wherever he is.
I only wish I could have seen threats that pursued him. Perhaps then, I could have told others and he would not have been forced to leave...
- Later at Tyrhold
It has become clear that there is more to Tyr than I or the Aspects know. We must prioritize his awakening.
