WRATH OF TWILIGHT

But there’s one point that just nags at me.

Deathwing was all about the eggs.  Wouldn’t a clutch of uncorrupted whelps of his own blood (I’m assuming since it’s in his vault that they’re his) have been hatched long ago to become part of the corrupted flight or to bolster their numbers, especially after the disaster through the Dark Portal?  Unless these eggs are guarded from being found by Deathwing himself.

This is were my headcanon is disagreeing… it makes more sense that this is Neltharion’s last ditch to try an save some of his children before falling to the corruption.  To save them from himself.  Deathwing.  But Deathwing is a form of Neltharion, so wouldn’t he be able to break those safe guards and enchantments anyway?  Since they’re his?

Which leads me to what I think makes most sense… this clutch was uncorrupted.  This clutch pre-dates the madness.  This clutch is pure, most likely from Neltharion and one of his consorts.  One of the consorts that in his madness he killed or mutilated.  One of these formidable dragoness who had spent years besides him, besides her darling children and doing her duty as one of the Blacks. And then had to watch everything she had protected and nurtured for millennia come crashing down around her.  Her consort sisters dying, their children dying or corrupted and beginning to fall prey to the madness herself.  And all of this caused by the one being she had loved so dearly, given so much of herself to?  That betrayed her and her fellow consorts?  Forces himself upon her and causes her eternal torment?

It makes sense that this is an uncorrupted Neltharion’s last ditch effort to protect his flight before the madness claims him.  But no.

It’s not Neltharion’s wards and enchantments guarding those eggs.

The other unnamed consorts probably started having an inkling of what was happening when the first one started dying.  What if they asked that if one survived and believed the situation was lost, to protect the eggs with any means necessary.  Even ones that go against dragon culture?  Like totally repulsive to most dragons?

Like say… reanimating their bones to become guardians of the vault to protect their pure black dragon eggs?

They never did say how many consorts Neltharion had, just that Hearthstone card saying there’s normally three for each Aspect.
