Tyrygosa

Tyrygosa (also mistakenly spelled Tyrigosa or Tyragosa ) is one of the few remaining members of the blue dragonflight and former suitor to Kalecgos. When taking humanoid guise, she has refused to take the form of a human, finding elves more aesthetically pleasing, and seems to prefer not to meddle in the affairs of mortals. Her alias is Tyri, possibly either a nickname given to her by Kalec or a name she goes by when in disguise.

Kalecgos was sent by Malygos to Lordaeron on a mission for the blue flight. Worried about her future mate, Tyrygosa followed, arriving just in time to rescue Kalecgos from the undead Scourge. They were joined by the human paladin Jorad Mace and a strange young woman by the name of Anveena Teague. The four journeyed together for a while, their exploits eventually leading them to the land of Quel'thalas where after being assaulted by the traitor Dar'Khan Drathir and an enslaved Korialstrasz they discovered Anveena was the new avatar of the Sunwell. With the assistance of Sylvanas Windrunner, Dar'khan was defeated and Anveena was left in the care of Lor'themar Theron and Halduron Brightwing. Kalecgos, having sworn to look after her, remained in Quel'thalas as Anveena's guardian. Tyrygosa departed, along with Jorad Mace, after wishing her betrothed farewell.

Sometime after the reopening of the Dark Portal, Tyrygosa traveled to Outland to investigate a familiar yet powerful source of magic. She eventually reunited with Jorad Mace, and through their adventures they encountered a mysterious new flight of dragons that emanated the mysterious magical aura that she's been sensing.

Tyrygosa was eventually brought to a Netherwing dragon lair by Valoku and after inspecting the eggs that the Nether dragons originated from, she pieced together that the Netherwing dragons are actually descendants of Deathwing himself. Tyrygosa recruited Valoku and Zzeraku in helping her rescue their enthralled brethren and during the battle for the Dark Portal, Tyrygosa used her magic to usurp control of the Nether Dragons under Ragnok's enthrallment.

Following the defeat of Ragnok Bloodreaver's army, Tyrygosa attempts to free the enthralled dragons Ragnok enthralled but Kadavan informs her that those enthralled under his devices gradually weaken until they eventually burn out. Nothing can save them unless an extremely powerful source of arcane power can revitalize the dragons enough to free themselves. Tyrygosa, Kadavan, and Zzeraku open a dimensional rift to Azeroth and bring a group of enthralled Netherwing dragons to the Nexus where they absorb its magical energies. Yet Zzeraku and the Nether dragons grow mad with power, and frustrated with everyone they've ever encountered trying to use them, decide to be masters of their own destinies and conquer Azeroth for themselves. Tyrygosa tries to reason with Zzeraku, telling him that by following Deathwing's path, Azeroth will rise against them and lead to their destruction. Though conflicted with Tyrygosa's sincere concern for his kind, Zzeraku believes that only by gaining power can he safeguard his people. The Netherwing dragons attack the Blue Dragonflight, and in the midst of the chaos, Malygos awakens from his slumber. In his insanity, Malygos misinterprets the nether dragons arrogant proclamations of being the embodiment of the Nexus and absorbs them and their power.

The dragon's Nether-warped physiology began to affect the Spell-Weaver himself, ultimately helping him regain some of his lost sanity. With his sanity restored to him, Tyrygosa's patron declared war on mortal spellcasters, sending his flight out to do his bidding. Only Zzeraku managed to escape.

Being unable to guide the Nether dragons to a better end weighed heavily on Tyrygosa. She later returns to Outland where she decides to look after a new generation of Netherwing eggs.

Tyrygosa, in the disguise of Tyri, can be seen in The Burning Crusade at Celestial Ridge in the Netherstorm, along with Jorad Mace. She is involved in the investigation of nether dragons in the area. After asking adventurers to assist her by defeating the dominant Netherdragon in the area, Veraku, she takes control of the brood, planning to keep them safe and in check.

During the Siege of Wyrmrest Temple the heroes of Azeroth and Thrall with the Dragon Soul are nearby Wyrmrest Temple and raiders begin by attempting to relieve the beleaguered Aspects under siege by the Twilight's Hammer, the Twilight dragonflight and the Black dragonflight. An Image of Tyrygosa warns them that they have to hurry as Wyrmrest falls as they speak. Along with an army of mortal races and dragons led by Lord Devrestrasz, the heroes battle their way through and stop an earth elemental at the base of Wyrmrest Temple. is pounding at the foundations of the spire trying to level it.

Once inside Wyrmrest Tyrygosa explains that Deathwing has summoned extremely powerful faceless ones to assault the Temple as well, and Maws of the Old Gods are erupting from the nearby earth. Tyrygosa orders that they need to be killed.

After the reawakening of the Dragon Isles, Tyrygosa heeded Kalecgos' call to reunite the blue dragonflight and traveled to the Azure Archives in the Azure Span, where she can be seen within the Conjured Biscuit Inn.

After the netherwing were invited to the Dragon Isles and made a home in Thaldraszus, Tyrygosa reunited with them and was seen speaking with Mordenaku at their new roost.

I've never seen anything like these nether dragons. They seem to have inherited their sire's temperament, but they have become something entirely different.

I spent years with the netherwing in Outland--when I heard that Mordenaku was bringing the flight to the Dragon Isles, I knew they'd need some help adapting.

He mentioned that you helped them settle in. I'm glad he has more than one ally on this side of the Dark Portal! Thank you for your aid.

• Kalecgos mentioned that Tyrygosa never understood how he could be friends with lesser races, though this seems to be contradicted by her friendship to Jorad Mace.
• The relationship between Tyrygosa and Kalecgos ended when Kalegos fell in love with Anveena and chose her instead of Tyrygosa. Eventually, however, Jorad Mace himself fancied her, and he, in turn, won her trust and respect slowly.
• When asked about the romantic tension, author Richard Knaak stated that between the two characters there is a bond, a closeness in part because of both being somewhat outcast among their own kind, but that it was doubtful that it would ever be more than a tension.

• Nexus-Prince Shaffar has a Cobalt Band of Tyrigosa in his loot table. The ring bears the description: "This ring was empowered by the princess of the blue dragonflight." This could mean Tyri is a high-ranking member of the flight, a possible daughter of Malygos, or that the ring was empowered by a dragon with the title and then given to Tyrygosa. As of yet, however, her relationship with Malygos has only been stated to be one of master and minion. Yet if she truly is the Princess of the Blue Dragonflight it is unknown why would she let Kalecgos become the new Aspect of Magic, especially with such a strong objection from one of the most powerful blue wyrms.
