Story
"The dragonflights of Azeroth have returned, called upon to defend their ancestral home, the Dragon Isles. Surging with elemental magic and the life energies of Azeroth, the Isles are awakening once more, and it's up to you to explore their primordial wonder and discover long-forgotten secrets."[4]

Notes
- Dragonflight has been described as an exploration-themed expansion, with comparisons drawn to Mists of Pandaria.[9]
- Dragonflight will have a "big bad" as an antagonist, but who/what this is will not be known initially.[10] This is also similar to Mists of Pandaria, where Garrosh was a "surprise" final antagonist, empowered by Lei Shen's treasures and Y'Shaarj's remains.
