The dragonflights have kept their promise. As she swoops around, Koranos safe in her claw, the Titan Watcher's joy has finally returned, and he breaks into a smile as he sees the dragons before him. Just before he can hit the ground, he is saved, by none other than Alexstrasza herself. Now, knowing he has performed his sacred task, Koranos seems ready to accept his fate in peace, and as he closes his eyes, his expression is peaceful. Throughout this cinematic, we have seen Koranos go through moments when it seems like he may give up and resign himself to the fate of his fellow Watchers, but he pushes through each time. The music has changed, from urgent to something softer, more peaceful. The skies have cleared, almost immediately, the sun shining overhead once more. As he falls, we see the effect of the lighting of the Beacon of Tyrhold.

The effort seems to be unbelievable, and as we watch, the crack that started in Koranos's hand shoots up his arm and through his head, but he does it - he pushes the Beacon together, and it fully activates.Īnd Koranos is thrown back by the blast. This starts to work, light shooting down through the tower and activating the Titanic mechanics within, sending them once again into motion. He falls as a handhold gives away, but he manages to catch himself just in time - and he presses on.įinally, he makes it to the top of the tower, where he begins to physically push the beacon together. He is not ready to give in.Īs he begins to climb the tower, Koranos's hand begin to crack, but he only glances at the damage before carrying on. Suddenly, his brow sets, once again in determination, as he opens his eyes again. He closes his eyes and lowers his head, seemingly all hope lost. Koranos glances around as he seems to be trying to think of a solution, but his face falls as he seems to give in. He turns the device that was used to shut the Beacon of Tyrhold down, and though it lights up, and for a moment power shoots up into the Beacon, the device fails. And again, Koranos's face moves from distress to determination as he makes the decision to see the Watchers' duty fulfilled. He pauses at the top of the stairs, taking in the dormant beacon, then turns - and his face falls even more as he sees the Watcher who should have activated the Beacon - who was likely Koranos's leader - lies dead in his throne. Koranos' face is still a mixture of determination and worry as he makes his way to the top. We see classic Titan technology at the center of the tower, lava bursting through the walls as the elemental magic awakes. As Koranos passes another Watcher, his eyes linger as he notices how their face, too, is crumbled away.

If the Watchers at the tower cannot light up the Beacon, then he will instead.Īs Koranos makes his way to the Beacon of Tyrhold, we see more evidence of elemental magic returning to the land. We watch as the worry in Koranos's face changes to realization - the Beacon isn't lighting up - and then determination. He looks worried and upset, and he turns to look at the Beacon of Tyrhold, which he knows should be lighting up, as per Alexstrasza's last instructions. Koranos's expression has completely changed now. But then he turns to look at his companion and there is a sudden drop in the sense of joy - the other Watcher is still dormant, and his face almost entirely weathered away.

Magic can be seen pulsing in the water, and Koranos's expression is one of joy and hope as he seems to realize this is the waking of the land that was promised. And with the sound of tinkling bells in the background - a sound often associated with almost fairy-tale-like magic, the Watcher opens his eyes and looks ahead. We see a sense of rumbling as the earth shifts and shakes, Koranos begins to wake. We are told we have reached the present day.Įven as we are absorbing the sense of thousands of years of a sleeping land, something begins to change. we see the Watcher on the beach - Watcher Koranos, as we now know from this podcast interview with Steve Danuser. As long as the Beacon of Tyrhold remains unlit, not even the Dragon Aspects would be able to find them.

forever.įrom Alexstrasza's words, the Dragon Isles are now both entirely dormant and hidden completely from the outside world. Then you must light the Beacon of Tyrhold, lest the path home be lost to us. You will feel our return in the waking of the land.
