The sacred Chamber of the Aspects beneath Wyrmrest Temple has seen kingdoms and armies rise and fall throughout history. For over ten millennia, the dragonflights' five sanctums have remained hallowed ground for dragonkind, undamaged by the chaos of the Demon Soul's creation and protected from the ravages of the Scourge thanks to a rare instance of cooperation between members of all five dragonflights.

Now, an eerie quiet has settled over Wyrmrest Temple. Draconic guards stationed outside of the Life-Binder's Ruby Sanctum have vanished. The stones of the portal leading into the sanctum's chambers are cracked. The tang of dying fires hangs in the air around the antechamber, and the red dragons dedicated to watching over the sanctuary of the Life-Binder have not responded to the mystic messages of their brothers and sisters.

The absence of guardians and the weakening of the structure are enough cause for immense concern among the members of the accord, but far worse is the implication that the Ruby Sanctum, which contains a clutch of red dragon eggs and the future of the red dragonflight, might have been breached. The battle against Northrend's Scourge rages on, claiming more casualties every day, and the forces of life stand to lose one of their most important footholds if the red dragonflight is crippled and its sanctum destroyed.
