Meanwhile, Kalecgos searches for the stolen Focusing Iris, an artifact capable of magnifying arcane power beyond imagination. His investigation brings him to Theramore, where Jaina Proudmoore is already watching the relationship between Horde and Alliance collapse.

In Episode 85, The Gathering Tide, we begin our three-part journey through Christie Golden’s Jaina Proudmoore: Tides of War, following the decisions, warnings and failures that place Theramore directly in Garrosh’s path...

The blue dragonflight gathers at the Nexus to choose a new Aspect of Magic. Arygos and Kalecgos become rival visions for the future of magic. And beneath Azeroth’s two moons, the Embrace chooses Kalecgos.

But hope does not last.

The Twilight Dragons attack. Arygos betrays his own flight. Blackmoore returns for one final confrontation. Chromatus awakens as the five-headed monster built to kill the Aspects. Alexstrasza must learn the truth of Korialstrasz’s sacrifice. And at Wyrmrest Temple, the dragonflights discover the full depravity of the Twilight's Hammer cult.
