First off, I don't know if this is the right forum category for it, but I hope so. To understand a little better why i wrote about it:
Vanilla World of Warcraft Patch 1.13* - YouTube
I want to share a game theory with you, the theory is kind of vague, but I thought I would share it with you guys.
I saw that Foror(Furor) is a dev for Blizz, so this theory could be nothing and he just added that for fun.
So I was browsing through Wowhead and saw a screenshot of legendaries that linked to the new classic.wowhead site. On this screenshot was a item I never heard of before, "Forors Fabled Steed." It's nowhere to be found on classic databases (that I know of) and so I spawned it on my private server. The mount looks like Gyth the Dragon in UBRS [Dragon.jpg] and has the same item icon as Nefarian's head.
I wouldn't have wasted a second thought on that mount if I wasn't so interested in the Dragon Isles and the Emerald Dream.
I found this conversation between Nat Pagle and another NPC in the game file Database:
Nat Pagle: Hal...
Hal McAllister:yea,Nat?
Nat Pagle: had that dream again last night...
Hal McAllister:wich one?
Nat Pagle: I can't even believe this one... You know those two loud-mouthed ruffians, Foror and Tigule?
Nat Pagle: Well in this dream, they somehow end up inventing something called [ice-cream] and flavoring it with strawberries... Well, long story short, they end up striking it rich!
Nat Pagle: If that weren't crazy enough, they decide to quit the ice-cream business and become adventurers... They travel all over the place and finally disappear into some portal. I woke up in a cold sweat after that one...
Hal McAllister: Hal shakes his head Nat, Nat, Nat...
So the common thought would have been that he meant the Dark Portal, but what if it was one of these Dream Portals?
If they walked through that, what could have been there for us in the Emerald Dream? What cool stuff could we have done there to prepare for the Dragon Isles, where we finally get "Forors Fabled Steed" as a rare raid drop and maybe meet Foror + Tigule?
Maybe the "Quel´Serrar" that you get from his quest Book "Foror´s Compendium of Dragon slaying" would have played a role as a key or something like that.
Another thing I got, it sounds stupid... I couldnt find any npc model viewer for 1.12, so i just customized some npc´s (of course not with every texture, only 1k) and two of the models were dragonkin, one that looked more faded than the blue ones in Winterspring for example (could be arcane) and a bronze looking one. I also found an npc with blue shade above the eye hight, so this maybe could have been an idea for one of the dragon aspects or maybe not. [I´ll try to find the Models again and post the Screenshots]
Im not that much of a writer, i hope i gave you something to think about. Btw. a friend helped me with grammar and stuff, thank you Lin and she told me there were other rumors of them both in tbc, but then again, tbc wasnt planned and my theroy is ment to be before tbc.
About the Dargon Mount is left to say that it can slow fall but it cant fly. Someone told me anoter mount shares this model, but i dont know wich one it was.
