Some Hope for Fans of the Infinite Dragonflight

Apparently there are a few new Infinite fellows that have been data mined or simply found in the Warlords Beta. Some can be found, perhaps unsurprisingly, near the Caverns of Time. What could this mean?

Well, I don't want to jump the gun on anything here. New NPCs do sometimes pop up just for a little bit of flavor. Yet the Infinites are players in the whole Warlords situation that have not really been seen there.

SPOILERS FOR HELLSCREAM:

When Garrosh arrives in Nagrand, he is there with Kairoz, his Bronze Dragon ally. But Kairoz must be doing something very non-kosher, because he broke Garrosh out of the Temple of the White Tiger with the aid of Wrathion and... a couple of Infinite Dragons. The Infinite are of course the biggest enemies of the Bronze Dragonflight, but are also the Bronze flight itself - either a future version or one from a parallel universe.

But Kairoz does not have much time to act upon Draenor. Kairoz makes the rookie mistake of being haughty and rude to Garrosh Hellscream, who promptly murders the crap out of him, slicing Kairoz from neck to navel with a shard of the Vision of Time. Kairoz' body can be found in Nagrand.

But Kairoz was not working alone. I'm not sure if Wrathion is really playing all that big a role - I kind of suspect he's actually getting in a little over his head. But the Infinites clearly have an interest in this timeline-hopping chaos.

The general impression I have is that Grommash's raid tier is going to concern itself primarily with the Iron Horde under siege, and either falling to corruption without Garrosh to warn against it, or fending off a Burning Legion that really, really wants its Horde. There's not much for the Infinites there, but then, the Infinites are all about subtlety.

This is all just a fingers-crossed moment for me, but I'm hoping that the presence of these new NPCs portends a grand re-entrance for the Infinite Dragonflight.

Also, I want a freaking Infinite Drake mount.
