Tarecgosa was a powerful member of the blue dragonflight.[2]
Background[]
Tarecgosa was born under a special sign that foretold of a great destiny. When was but a hatchling, Kalecgos was charged with her protection and education. Over the millennia, they forged a special bond. And so Tarecgosa became special to Kalecgos, and the affinity for one another became well known within the flight.[3]
Rage of the Firelands[]
Once an adventurer had seen the horrifying fate of Azeroth, Anachronos tasked them with the creation of an Eye, which was to be used to see further into the events that were unfolding at Coldarra.[4]
After the creation of the Eye, the adventurer headed to Coldarra in order to bring it to a place suitable for the Eye's activation. When they arrived at Coldarra, the adventurer was stopped by Tarecgosa, who warned them that this place was no longer suitable for mortals.[5]
Tarecgosa asked them to meet her inside the Nexus, where she escorted them through the magical corridors, and past the blue flight guards. She aided in fighting many of twilight dragons as they traveled to their destination - the [Nether Vortex] at the Rift. Once the ferocious twilight dragon Thyrinar was defeated, the Timeless Eye was used to access the previously obscured vision.[6]
Once the adventurer has seen the vision in the Nexus, Tarecgosa tasked them to deliver information on what they have seen to Kalecgos at Nordrassil in Mount Hyjal.[7] Kalecgos was worried that she could be in grave danger, and due to the prophecies of her birth, her survival was of vital importance to the blue dragonflight, and to Azeroth itself. Later you must travel with Kalecgos back to Coldarra.[8]
However, Arygos had betrayed Azeroth to Deathwing, and Tarecgosa sacrificed herself to save Kalecgos. Kalecgos saved her life by binding her soul to the adventurer, but the binding was not permanent, and had to be strengthened with materials from the Firelands.[9] Tarecgosa's form was then taken to attend the draconic council, and thus was directly responsible for the choosing of the new aspect.[10] Upon defeating Ragnaros and procuring his heart, the staff was completed and imbued with power thanks to Kalecgos, and provided a permanent home for Tarecgosa, who would be a friend and companion.
Tarecgosa's spirit lives on in Dragonwrath, bound to it for eternity.[11]
Dragonflight[]
Following the passing of Senegos, adventurers wielding [Dragonwrath, Tarecgosa's Rest], were then approached by Kalec who recalled how he had bound the soul of Tarecgosa to the staff to prolong her time on Azeroth. However, he knew that the time had come to give Tarecgosa her final resting place. Thus the pair enacted a ritual to siphon her essence from the staff and shared a final goodbye with Tarecgosa as she departed.[12]
