I’m sure that time, it was merely done to reuse the mount model as an asset for the WoD expansion to gain time, without any deep lore reasoning in the background. Some years ago I noticed that there is a schedule, a schema in the apprearance of many Shop mounts (if you remove the “IRL Chinese calendar-themed” mounts I just spoke of).įirst there was the Enchanted Fey Dragon during MoP (5.3), that was meant to be linked to the Emerald Dream and the Nigh Elf culture like the Fey we know in Kalimdor, but WoD went live and this mount was (tacitly retconned and) officially stated to be bred by Draenei and native from “Draenor II”. Nothing to see here then? Well, not exactly. Well, one could just leave it here, “nothing to see, move along”, it’s just a lame commercial mount for the sole purpose of milking consoomers.Īnd this is what I would have replied first for those Shop mounts, all the more these last years - with the golden buffalo, winged pig and rat recently, and so on (mounts which one could connect to Pandaria lore with a big piece of faith and some jelly…) (And let’s be honest, I already lost interest in any Retail and SL lore, so I looked for anything else interesting to analyse.)įirst of all, “ It’s not quite certain why”. Nothing new there, but since it’s the Lore part of the forum I’d like to push an investigation a bit. You may be accustomed to promotional mounts for 6-months subscribers. Fast as lightning and armored to the beak, this is a perfect mount to accompany you in your daring adventures. It’s not quite certain why Sapphire Skyblazers flocked to Azeroth, but what’s known for sure is that they burn brighter (and hotter!) than any avian to ever soar across the skies.
Yet the official forum seems a bit dead, I repost this so you fellow lore enjoyers here may be interested too.įirst, here is the speculation I had last July when I saw the 6-month-sub mount. I've been thinking some time ago about the meaning of unexplained Store Mount designs in regards to later expansions of these last years.
