After completing theHalls of Infusion dungeon inDragonflightand reaching Renown level 11 with the Valdrakken Accord, players can witness the scene from the Aspects past where they last saw Tyr before his death. During the scene, Tyr left a special scale with the Aspects, which he knew would come in handy in the future. After accidentally activating a holographic message from Tyr, the Aspects bring the scale to Tyr’s forge, where it causes the Titan mechanisms to forge a new body for Keeper Tyr.
Unfortunately, the lifeless body of Tyr does not have Tyr’s memories and spirit. The discs left behindin the Uldaman: Legacy of TyrDragonflightdungeoncould activate this new Tyr, but players are unable to recover them during the instance. Alexstrasza and the other Aspects resolve to find a way to bring back their fallen friend to help them regain their power and defeat the Primalists.
Players are intrigued that Tyr himself may return toWorld of Warcraftin some fashion. The Titan Keeper is a major historical figure inWarcrafthistory, having empowered the Aspects and inspired the creation of the Knights of the Silver Hand. The possibility of him returning to the spotlight could lead to players learning some of themost ancient mysteries inWorld of Warcraft’shistory.
However, some players are hesitant to trust the return of the Titan Keeper. Recent revelations from lore books within Uldaman: Legacy of Tyr seem to indicate Tyr’s motives and methods for empowering the dragonflights may have been less pure than they were led to believe, despite the comradery they seemed to share during the quest. If Tyr is to return in some form,players hopeWorld of Warcraftaddresses the concerning detailsof how the dragonflights were empowered, and hope both them and the Aspects get some straight answers. Nevertheless, untilWorld of Warcraftreleases more patches and story forDragonflight, players will have to speculate on what might be next for Tyr and the dragon Aspects.
