'''Kalecgos''' is one of the few surviving [[Blue dragonflight|blue dragons]], a servant of the great Aspect [[Malygos]]. He disguises himself as a [[half-elf]], calling himself Kalec. Due to the blues being most in tune with magic of all the aspects, Kalec has the powers of a sorcerer and the strength of a warrior.
−
'''Corrupted furbolgs''' are [[furbolg]]s twisted into savage and violent versions of their more peaceful kin through the Burning Legion’s evil influence. They are hunched like their normal kin, standing about 9 feet tall and weighing between 300 and 400 pounds. They have strange markings in their fur and indulge in scarring and piercing to enhance their savage appearance. They are also known to decorate themselves in the remnants of those they have killed. Some corrupted furbolgs display additional demonic characteristics, such as horns, the ability to generate fire, and so on. These are unique individuals who often end up as the leaders of their own war parties. Unlike a standard furbolg, corrupted furbolgs are violent and survive by raiding and looting the communities they come across. They are willing to cooperate with other corrupted creatures to further the [[Burning Legion]]’s aims.<ref name="ReferenceB">{{ref book |author=Borgstrom, Rebecca |coauthors=Eric Brennan, Genevieve Cogman, and Michael Goodwin |title=[[Manual of Monsters]] |isbn=978-1588-4607-07 |pages=46, 47}}</ref>

==Culture==
  
−
Corrupted furbolgs have abandoned the worship of nature and with it the structures of their past. Instead, they are driven by the most powerful among them. Should more than one furbolg achieve power, the corrupted furbolg band will split into smaller groups and each will go its separate way. The ranks of the corrupted are filled by the taint of the [[Burning Legion]]. Corrupted furbolgs have no taboos against biting, and use their powerful jaws as weapons. They do not usually wear armor or use weapons. If possible, a corrupted furbolg will charge in preference to other maneuvers.<ref name="ReferenceB"/>

Kalecgos was a youngster of the blue flight, sent as an investigator by Malygos to [[Quel'Thalas]] to locate what appeared to be residual energies from the [[Sunwell]], believed to have been destroyed by the [[Scourge]] some time before. What he found - after being severely injured by the dwarven dragon hunter [[Harkyn Grymstone]] and his band - was a strange young human named [[Anveena Teague]], who lived with her parents outside [[Tarren Mill]]. As they evaded Harkyn's band of hunters as well as the occasional agent of the Scourge, Kalec and Anveena teamed up with Kalec's intended, [[Tyrygosa]], and the human paladin [[Jorad Mace]]. While in Tarren Mill, they were confronted by the Scourge led by the elven traitor [[Dar'Khan Drathir]], who sought the power of the Sunwell for himself. He believed it may have been the dragonling [[Raac]], hatched from an egg found in the ruins of Anveena's home, but later events prove this false.

See [[Furbolg]] article for corrupted furbolg tribes
  
   
  +
While seeking a way to remove Dar'Khan's enchanted collars from around his neck (which trapped him in humanoid form) and Anveena's, Kalec travelled to the Hinterlands - and in the process, battling the forces of both the Scourge and the Forsaken [[Baron Valimar Mordis]] - and it was there that he discovered that Anveena possessed great power, demonstrated by saving him from a potentially fatal fall from the cliffs below the Baron's castle. As she was trying to slow Kalec's fall, Anveena was captured by Dar'Khan, and taken to Quel'Thalas.
−
Some of the [[Polar furbolg]] tribes may also be corrupted by the [[Scourge]] and some are known by turn into corruption through {{NPC||Yogg-Saron}}.
  
   
  +
Kalec, Tyri and Jorad gave chase, travelling to the ruined elven kingdom themselves and first being captured, then aided, by [[Lor'themar Theron]], his lieutenant [[Halduron Brightwing]], and their band of rangers. Kalec discovered that Anveena was in fact the avatar of the Sunwell, and aided in the final battle that led to Dar'Khan's defeat. Afterwards, the previously-enslaved [[Korialstrasz]] - Prime Consort to [[Alexstrasza]], the red Aspect - explained that he had created the illusion that was Anveena, in order to prevent the Scourge from obtaining her power. When Lor'themar pledged himself to keeping Anveena safe, Kalec decided to remain behind as well as her protector. It is heavily implied that Kalec and Anveena became romantically involved shortly thereafter.

Kalecgos, true to his word, remained Anveena's protector while she assisted the Blood Elves in the reconstruction of their homeland. Not long after however the traitorious Prince Kael'thas, fresh from his defeat in [[Tempest Keep]], suddenly reappears in Quel'thalas, along with the forces of the [[Burning Legion]]. Before Kalec can react, the legion captures Anveena, hoping to use her to bring their master, the demonlord [[Kil'jaeden]], to [[Azeroth (world)|Azeroth]]. Kalecgos, along with his companion [[Madrigosa]], attempt to foil Kil'jaeden's plans, but in the process Kalecgos becomes possessed by the [[dreadlord]] [[Sathrovarr the Corruptor]].
   
  +
In the Sunwell Plateau raid, the encounter with Kalecgos is on two fronts, literally. The "Physical" front is the one players engage the blue dragon head on, in the physical world, but soon after encountering Kalecgos, portals open up to a much darker, spiritual world called the Inner Veil, where you find that the half-elf form of Kalecgos is battling against [[Sathrovarr the Corruptor]]. To complete this encounter, players must simultaneously aid Kalec in killing Sathrovarr the Corruptor, while subdueing Kalecgos' dragon form, in order to set him free.

===Grim Batol and after===

{{Novel-section}}

{{main|Night of the Dragon}}
  +
Following the loss of Anveena, Kalec became brooding and depressed, finally being sent away from the Nexus on an errand to investigate Grim Batol after starting more than one fight with his fellow blues. Kalecgos was not only upset by losing Anveena, but also by his lord Malygos's more recent stance on mortals and their handling of magic, one he appears to disagree with. At Grim Batol, Kalecgos encountered the red dragon [[Korialstrasz]]. At first, Kalec's attitude towards the consort of Alexstrasza was bitter and antagonistic; he blamed Krasus for his constant interference, and particularly for giving Anveena the illusion of life knowing how it would end.<ref>''[[Night of the Dragon]]'', 96-97</ref>
  +
  +
In Grim Batol's halls, Kalec and Krasus discovered the black dragon [[Sintharia]], now known as Sinestra, creating a new flight of dragons. Working together, oftentimes begrudingly, the two dragons with the assistance of [[Rhonin]], [[Vereesa Windrunner]], [[Rom]], the draenei priestess [[Iridi]], and the nether dragon [[Zzeraku]], they overcame Sintharia and her creation, the twilight dragon [[Dargonax]]. Iridi perished in the final battle, and Kalec took it upon himself to return her body to [[Outland]]. When asked by Krasus if Malygos would allow him to go to Outland, Kalec replied that - permitted or not - he was going anyway; to see Outland once more was Iridi's dying wish, and she deserved to be buried there.

It is not known where Kalecgos went after that, nor the stance he takes during the [[Nexus War]].

Kalecgos, now the ambassador of the blue dragonflight to the [[Wyrmrest Accord]], appears in Alexstrasza's chamber in [[Wyrmrest Temple]] in [[Patch 3.3.0]], standing next to [[Lord Itharius]]. During the quest {{quest|What The Dragons Know (Alliance)}} / {{quest|What The Dragons Know (Horde)|(Horde)}}, one of the quests to restore [[Quel'Delar]], Kalec steps forward as [[Krasus]] speaks to the player. Kalec questions the wisdom of reforging the blade, feeling that the mortals would not be powerful enough to wield it, and remembering that [[Demon Soul|powerful weapons]] crafted by dragonkind had been turned against dragonkind in the past. He pledges not to interfere if the mortals reforge the blade, but warns that he will keep a close watch.

===Cataclysm===

{{Cata-section}}
  +
At some point Kalec relocated to [[Azshara]], fearing that the death of [[Malygos]] was a sign of weakness on the part of the blue dragonflight, and that [[Deathwing]] would send agents to assassinate rest of the flight. This held true, as the black dragonflight invaded Azshara to hunt down [[Azuregos]]. Kalec can be found in [[Bilgewater Harbor]],{{coords|55.4|52.1|Azshara}} where he and Azuregos [[Azshara storyline#Azuregos quest chain|help low level Horde players to repel the invasion]].<ref>[http://www.worldofraids.com/topic/17178-cataclysm-lore-details/ Cataclysm Lore Details - World of Raids Forums]</ref>
  +
  +
Ever since the death of Malygos, the blue dragonflight has struggled with appointing a new leader. Its members are torn between Kalecgos and [[Arygos]], the two likeliest successors. Arygos believes that his kind should withdraw from the world and forge a new path while Kalecgos believes in the opposite. To end these debates and arguments the flight has agreed to meet during the [[Embrace]], in hopes that one of them will be selected as the new Aspect.<ref>[http://us.battle.net/wow/en/blog/2685003 Patch 4.2 Preview: A Legendary Engagement]</ref>

  +
Arygos, wanting to ensure that he is chosen to be the leader of the blue dragonflight, has allied with Deathwing in order to assasinate Kalecgos. However his plan failed because [[Tarecgosa]] sacrificed herself to save Kalecgos. With his actions revealed to the rest of his flight Arygos flees Coldarra calling the flight fools and that Neltharion will destroy them as Kalecgos is chosen to be the flight's new leader.

Kalecgos is one of the few surviving blue dragons, a servant of the great Aspect Malygos. He disguises himself as a half-elf, calling himself Kalec. Due to the blues being most in tune with magic of all the aspects, Kalec has the powers of a sorcerer and the strength of a warrior.

After the Nexus War, Kalecgos seems to have become some kind of an advisor to the Wyrmrest Accord.[1] Him being a blue dragon, that is a unique trait given to the rest of the dragonflights that were at war with the blue flight. Blizzard has confirmed that Kalecgos will be the new Aspect of Magic.[2]

History

The Sunwell

Template:Graphic novel

Main article: The Sunwell Trilogy

Kalecgos was a youngster of the blue flight, sent as an investigator by Malygos to Quel'Thalas to locate what appeared to be residual energies from the Sunwell, believed to have been destroyed by the Scourge some time before. What he found - after being severely injured by the dwarven dragon hunter Harkyn Grymstone and his band - was a strange young human named Anveena Teague, who lived with her parents outside Tarren Mill. As they evaded Harkyn's band of hunters as well as the occasional agent of the Scourge, Kalec and Anveena teamed up with Kalec's intended, Tyrygosa, and the human paladin Jorad Mace. While in Tarren Mill, they were confronted by the Scourge led by the elven traitor Dar'Khan Drathir, who sought the power of the Sunwell for himself. He believed it may have been the dragonling Raac, hatched from an egg found in the ruins of Anveena's home, but later events prove this false.

While seeking a way to remove Dar'Khan's enchanted collars from around his neck (which trapped him in humanoid form) and Anveena's, Kalec travelled to the Hinterlands - and in the process, battling the forces of both the Scourge and the Forsaken Baron Valimar Mordis - and it was there that he discovered that Anveena possessed great power, demonstrated by saving him from a potentially fatal fall from the cliffs below the Baron's castle. As she was trying to slow Kalec's fall, Anveena was captured by Dar'Khan, and taken to Quel'Thalas.

Kalec, Tyri and Jorad gave chase, travelling to the ruined elven kingdom themselves and first being captured, then aided, by Lor'themar Theron, his lieutenant Halduron Brightwing, and their band of rangers. Kalec discovered that Anveena was in fact the avatar of the Sunwell, and aided in the final battle that led to Dar'Khan's defeat. Afterwards, the previously-enslaved Korialstrasz - Prime Consort to Alexstrasza, the red Aspect - explained that he had created the illusion that was Anveena, in order to prevent the Scourge from obtaining her power. When Lor'themar pledged himself to keeping Anveena safe, Kalec decided to remain behind as well as her protector. It is heavily implied that Kalec and Anveena became romantically involved shortly thereafter.

It is not known where Kalecgos went after that, nor the stance he takes during the Nexus War. However, it is likely he chose to not follow Malygos' orders - his distaste for the Aspect's decision to purge all mortal spellcasters was made clear to Korialstrasz.[4]

Forging of Quel'Delar

Kalecgos, now the ambassador of the blue dragonflight to the Wyrmrest Accord, appears in Alexstrasza's chamber in Wyrmrest Temple in Patch 3.3.0, standing next to Lord Itharius. During the quest What The Dragons Know (Alliance) / (Horde), one of the quests to restore Quel'Delar, Kalec steps forward as Krasus speaks to the player. Kalec questions the wisdom of reforging the blade, feeling that the mortals would not be powerful enough to wield it, and remembering that powerful weapons crafted by dragonkind had been turned against dragonkind in the past. He pledges not to interfere if the mortals reforge the blade, but warns that he will keep a close watch.

At some point Kalec relocated to Azshara, fearing that the death of Malygos was a sign of weakness on the part of the blue dragonflight, and that Deathwing would send agents to assassinate rest of the flight. This held true, as the black dragonflight invaded Azshara to hunt down Azuregos. Kalec can be found in Bilgewater Harbor,[55.4, 52.1]VZ-AzsharaBlip where he and Azuregos help low level Horde players to repel the invasion.[5]

Ever since the death of Malygos, the blue dragonflight has struggled with appointing a new leader. Its members are torn between Kalecgos and Arygos, the two likeliest successors. Arygos believes that his kind should withdraw from the world and forge a new path while Kalecgos believes in the opposite. To end these debates and arguments the flight has agreed to meet during the Embrace, in hopes that one of them will be selected as the new Aspect.[6]

For the sake of this world - this cannot come to pass! I am committed to seeing that it does not.

Gossip You're not alone here?

Madrigosa accompanied me on this journey, but we have become separated in the Sunwell. May fate keep her safe.

Gossip What would Kil'jaeden want with a mortal woman?

Anveena is no mere mortal, <race>. Those who recognize her true nature stop at nothing to possess her. She once rescued me, and now I intend to return the favor.

Notes

  • An epic off-hand item called the [Talisman of Kalecgos] may be purchased in Shattrath City for 25 Badge of Justice ([Badges of Justice]). It is shaped like the head of a blue dragon.
  • Kalecgos is also referenced to by Arcanist Vandril in Tranquillien. Apparently the town is awaiting word from him. Interestingly, Vandril calls him 'Kalecgos', rather than 'Kalec', his half-elf alias; specifically, Vandril says, "At this rate I'm going to pace a rut into the road. I hope the messenger from Kalecgos arrives soon."
