The Forbidden Island was the black dragonflight’s secret training ground eons ago. Today the island is just a rugged and overgrown landscape that has been marked by the ravages of time. The few dragons who remember the Forbidden Island also know about the taboo and give them a wide berth. Those who have ventured to its shores have found only a broken landscape and overgrown ruins half-buried in magma within this caldera.
Neltharion, the Earth Warder, once fashioned this land as a secret training ground for his ultimate soldiers, the dracthyr. But since a terrible battle against the primalists, the island sank into oblivion for more than 20,000 years. With WoW Patch 10.0.7, all heroes of Azeroth are allowed to enter the Forbidden Island.

The island off the coast of the Dragon Islands may be small, but powerful! If you keep your eyes open, you will find new exciting books and writings in the ancient ruins and libraries that shed new light on the story of World of Warcraft (buy now). The Old Gods and the Order of Azeroth (Annotated) is one of many books that we can find on the Forbidden Island. This tome comes from the personal library of Neltharion, who taunted the notes of the mysterious author of The Old Gods and the Order of Azeroth. Neltharion’s writings are exciting, no question! However, the Lore fans have discovered another book on the test server for patch 10.0.7 that is currently occupying the WoW community.

We’re talking about A Song of the Depths. The naga that roam the shores of the Forbidden Island will drop this tome as loot. The text is about the return of a queen and a harbinger who will fulfill an ancient prophecy. The author takes up the whispers of Il’gynoth from the Emerald Nightmare at many points in the book. He mentions, among other things, the circle of stars, flaming torches and a dark heart. We have a little sample for you.
Rise, rise! Our Queen calls to us from beyond the Umbral Veil. She has transcended the Circle of Stars and basks in her eternal grandeur!
The time we have long awaited is nigh.
Even now, the Harbinger gathers the children of the first flesh to reclaim what was lost. They must remember their vows and serve those to whom they owe fealty.
While they toil in the deep places, we will journey to the shores of dragon lands, to the blessed isle where the Worldbreaker first embraced the whispers.
As one storm recedes, another rises. The torches have been lit. The secrets he buried will strike as a dagger into the hearts of his kin!
The Harbinger speaks of a primal power that seeks the end of Order. Such rage can be bent to serve our ends.
A hunger lost to the ages will be reclaimed.
A dark heart left broken awaits the taking.
When these things come to pass, the Harbinger will fulfill the final prophecy and complete the awakening.
Only then shall our Queen return to reign over sea and sky and earth. We must make ready.
Rise, rise! Soon all that was hidden will be revealed.
While we don’t know exactly who wrote these somber praises and prophecies, we can speculate as to what they mean. Finally, the author of these writings utters some chilling prophecies that may give us clues as to what is to come in World of Warcraft.
