Crown of Flame is the new Guardians of the Dream cinematic, featuring Fyrakk as he prepares his assault on the Emerald Dream. We break down this cinematic below.
A Ritualistic Forging
The cinematic opens with Igira the Cruel, the djaradin warlord who, centuries ago, made a deal with Idirikron to ally her djaradin with the Primalists, a tale we first head from Tarjin the Blind. Igira is the second boss of the upcoming Amirdrassil raid, and the dungeon journal claims she is able to forge weapons "from the screams of her enemies". Here, we see her at work at the forge, Druids of the Flame standing around her, chanting. With this forging, some sort of ritual is being performed.
Over it all, Fyrakk's voice. From their introduction, Iridikron has been presented as the leader of the Primalist Incarnates - it's on his orders that the others act. Fyrakk clearly chafes against Iridikron's control, and though he is following Iridikron's plan, it suggests that with the Stonescaled absent, he's enjoying a sense of freedom.
My brother believed he could control me, this rage inside my heart.
Fyrakk - Ready for War
As Fyrakk approaches the weapon being forged by Igira, we take note of how the Shadowflame has empowered him - the hint of the purple flame outlining his fire - and that he's equipped with new armor, no doubt also forged by the djaradin. Though this war has been ongoing, Fyrakk is now preparing for something big. The assault he plans to lead requires new armor... and a new weapon.
Fyrakk speaks about Vyranoth's attempts to tame him - something we saw ourselves recently, during the events of A Coalition of Flames from 10.1.7, the first chapter of Guardians of the Dreams' main story. This conflict between Vyranoth and Fyrakk led to her finally deflecting from the Primalist Incarnates, we go into 10.2 with Vyranoth as our ally.
My sister believed she could tame me. My fury will not be sated.
Fyr'alath, the Dream Render
Fyrakk stands before the weapon that Igira is forging - it is
Fyr'alath, the Dream Render
, the legendary axe that will drop from Fyrakk in the raid. As we watch, runes appear before the chanting druids, and the same runes appear on the blade.
The Aspects believed they could imprison me, but my hatred cannot be contained.
Untamed Flame
As Fyrakk speaks about the Aspects, his eyes flame up with Shadowflame - similar to how they did during the
Fury Incarnate In-Game cinematic
. Before, this effect seemed to accompany Fyrakk losing control, becoming overcome by his rage - Vyranoth's words brought him back, dampening his flame. Now, however, Fyrakk is reveling in his anger - crediting his uncontrollable rage with his freedom from Iridikron's control, Vyranoth's attempts at taming him, and the Aspects' imprisonment. Rather than his flames going out, this time, as Fyrakk reaches for his axe, this, too, ignites into flames.
Before, Fyrakk was somewhat tempered by his fellow Incarnates, but no longer. The Fyrakk we will face in Amirdrassil is genuinely terrifying, given over to an unquenchable anger that threatens to burn us all.
The Emerald Dream
The scene changes, and we see how our allies are preparing for this fight. They're already in the Emerald Dream, gathered around the roots of Amirdrassil, our quest hub in 10.2.
They know what is coming. That the unyielding flame draws closer, ever closer. Even now, they cling to one another in the dark... Lost in their "dream".
Ysera and Shandris are walking together. Ebyssian is growing accustomed to his
new armor
, Kalecgos is reading a book. Vyranoth and Merithra are pouring over a map with Khadgar, Sabellian, and Wrathion.
Tyrande's Peace
Tyrande is sharpening her warglaives, and at first the camera purposefully doesn't show her eyes, but instead focuses on her scowl and the muscles in her arms and shoulders. We're reminded strongly of Tyrande's own journey with her anger and rage - how it almost consumed her during her time as the Night Warrior - but then the camera lifts and we see the light in her eyes and how her expression softens as her friends, Alexstrasza and Nozdormu, arrive. Tyrande has found a way through her anger. As the Night Warrior, she fought alone. Now, she is surrounded in this fight by loved ones.
Fyrakk's Rage
In contrast, Fyrakk's voice lowers, growing even more hateful. The Aspects represent everything Fyrakk is fighting against - the forces of Order that seek to contain and control his rage. The camera focuses on the faces of Alexstrasza and Vyranoth - Fyrakk truly despises them both, Alexstrasza, for accepting the Titans' powers to begin with, and Vyranoth, for leaving the Primalists.
Deceived by those who squandered our birthright.
We return to Fyrakk, dragging Fy'ralath behind him, the embodiment of his rage. He raises the axe and swings it, cutting into the Dream itself.
Betrayers, all of them. So it falls to me to make them pay. Their suffering has just begun.
Violent Entry
Here, we understand the ritual that the Druids of the Flame performed. The magic they infused Fy'ralath with gave Fyrakk the power to cut an entrance into the Dream. The choice of entry is significant - While most visit the Dream through sleep, or via a dream portal, Fyrakk's entrance is violent, angry, and aggressive.
As he takes in Amirdrassil, the land around Fyrakk catches aflame. The Fury Incarnate has come to the Emerald Dream, and his rage threatens to claim our new World Tree.
