Dawn of the Infinites
The questline begins with Nozdormu, who enlists our help to investigate a vision he’s been having of a dark alliance that opposes the Bronze Dragonflight. We arrive near the Bronze Temple to discover Future Chromie! At least, that’s what she claims to be…
Nozdormu told you about some big, scary something-or-other that opposes him, right? Well I know how to fix the problem before it even starts!
After helping Future Chromie out with some “time realignment” we run into present Chromie, who can’t understand why her future self would get us to distort the timeways – as it turns out that’s what we were doing. It’s summoned just a ton of alternate-timeline versions of Chromie, a cute but dangerous situation that promises to cause even more disruption to the timeways. We set about trapping a few of the alt-Chromies to contain the threat and figure out what’s going on. Most of them say something about “her” bringing them here and how “she” shouldn’t have.
There are nine alternative versions of Chromie in all:
Chronosaurus – a dinosaur version, Chromrgl – a Murloc version, and C’Thromie a version of Chromie that seems to be aligned with the Old Gods!
Chronosaurus makes distressed roaring noises while eyeing you with confusion.
Chromrgl says: Thrgglglg mrghth aauuuughibrgubgle!
C’Thromie says: Gul’kafh an’qov Morch!
Crowmie – an Uncorrupted Arakkoa, CHROME-E – a mechagnome, and Chronormoo – a Tauren…
Crowmie says: I’m cawing mad right now! Whose bright idea was it to bring me here? She’s a wicked one, she is!
CHROME-E says: Calibrating timeline occurrence. Speculating. You have been fooled.
Chronormoo says: We should not be here! SHE should not be here! It goes against the natural order.
Growmie – a giant Chromie, Ol’ Chrome – a cowgirl theme, and finally Chromew – who is apparently feline-themed?
Growmie says: So many little mes running around! But where’s the one who pulled me here? We need to have a BIG talk!
Ol’ Chrome says: Where’s that there rascal that brought me here? Face me, you yellow-bellied dragon!
Chromew says: My poor little kitties! Why, this isn’t even her timeline. Why would she bring us here?
By the end, it’s clear that the Chromie we met earlier wasn’t future Chromie at all – but another alternate-timeline version: Morchie – a version of Chromie who joined the Infinite Dragonflight! Though we manage to corner Morchie we realize too late that she’s been a diversion – while the Infinite Dragonflight launch their assault on the Bronze Temple.
Morchie says: Oh sure, you can interrogate me. Or you could go save your precious Bronze Temple.
Chromie says: The temple…? What are the infinites planning?
Morchie says: We shall ensure the rise of our master, Murozond! And the longer you stand here talking to me, well…
Morchie cackles.
Chromie says: We have to go. Nozdormu needs us! If he becomes Murozond, then… We can’t lose him!
The Infinite’s aim is the same as always: Bring about the rise Murozond. We meet Nozdormu outside of the Temple. Though he’s not Murozond yet, he seems resigned to his fate – but our Chromie remains determined to save her Aspect from his fate.
Chromie says: We’re here, Nozdormu!
Nozdormu says: Too late for me, I am afraid. The infinite dragonflight has already entered the temple.
Chromie says: It’s never too late! We can still stop them. We’re not giving up on you.
Nozdormu says: Ever the optimist, Chronormu. Yes, we must try.
The rest of the story will continue within the Dawn of the Infinite dungeon. While this dungeon is not yet ready for testing, the dungeon journal lists Morchie as one of the bosses we will face.
