Iridikron's Master Plan

[Razgard-draenor]

So after the story of the new patch, something was seeming off.

Everyone is talking about how bad writing it is for Varynoth to go from enemy to friend in the spawn of one cinematic, but WHAT IF that was NOT the case.

What if Vyranoth, was not an ally, but a spy helping Iridikron’s plan come to fruition? Let me present my case:

• Fyrrak and Iridikron:
  Through the book we know that Fyrrak was the oldest of the primal Incarnates, but Iridikron was their leader. This suggest that:

1. Infighting was present in their ranks and potentially bad blood between them
2. Iridikron might have taken the role not through sheer strength, but through planning and strategic prowess.
   If Iridikron has connections to the infinite dragonflight as we are shown, AND is such a big threat, then it is safe to assume that it was his plan to CORRUPT Fyrrak in the zarralek caverns.
   Fyrrak might have not be aware of this and marched right into his trap. After that it was just a matter of time for Iridikron to pave the way of Fyrrak’s next steps (and his downfall in case he wanted him taken care of).

• Vyranoth’s Role:
  While Vyranoth came to us in valdraken as a friend, we accepted her on the word of Alexstraza. One possible explanation might be for sure her change of heart, BUT a 20000 years war and the betrayal of the dragonflights (from their own PoV) seems like alot of bad blood to forget.
  But what if Alexstraza made a mistake? What if Vyranoth’s true intentions were to infiltrate the Dragonflights and help them get rid of Fyrrak (which has proven an uncooperative and fickle ally) and right after that obtain for herself a fragment of the “Aspect power” that was NOT of titan origin but of Azerothian origin.

• Iridikron’s Master Plan:
  And while all this was going on, Iridikron was away working on the OTHER side of his plan:
  The Acquisition of an artifact from the timeline AWFULLY familiar with the DRAGON SOUL, something that OH SO HAPPENS to be a perfect vessel to contain the powers of an aspect (like history told us).
  Having both the artifact that we let him escape with, AND the aspects having their power returned (and a traitor in their ranks), his reward is within his grasp, with ALL of Azeroth’s heroes oblivious to his machinations (or almost all).

P.S: Yeah I was pretty bored and trying to make sense of the story and how it is unfolding.

Or maybe it’s just incompetent storywriting.

I have hope for Iridikron, he seems like a cool villain, and the way he says not to underestimate the players really separated him from other over confident villains for me.

I know that this is not cannon, was just having fun

After reading the book, which doesn’t honestly give you that much more information, Vryanoth is 100% committed to her principles not vengeance. It made perfect sense for her to defect but I imagine most of the talking and making up for the 2k year war and being locked away was done off screen. She was never after power, she was after freedom for all dragons.

Honestly, I don’t think Iridikrons plan is that bad as it is now. I mean he did kinda win.
He send Fyrrak to absorb the shadow flame. This served 2 purposes, first and foremost he wanted us distracted and we were, and secondly he wanted Fyrrak to be more powerful in order to burn/corrupt the world seed (or wahtever that was called), and he would have succeeded if Vyranoth didn’t betray them.

Secondly he worked with the Infinites to steal Galakrond’s essence, we stopped him in one timeline, but his backup plan succeeded aka the rise of Murozond forcing us to go back in time again and reverse out priorities. This is in-line with his previous tactic of dividing our attention.

So far he seems a lot smarter than previous WoW villains.
