Sha-corruption, the downfall of the bronze dragonflight?
I'm not sure if this discussion topic belongs here, but I've been thinking...
With the introduction of the Sha, and sha corruption. Would/could it be at all possible for the creation of the infinite dragonflight (IE corrupted bronze dragons)?
I was just peeking at the wowikki thing and it mentions no known reasoning to the corruption, and sha seems somewhat fitting.

I'm pretty sure Nozdormu created the Infinite Dragonflight. I forgot why exactly he did it, but I'm positive he created them
EDIT: Yeah, I found this on WoWWiki
''Now living outside of time, Murozond was once the great Dragon Aspect Nozdormu the Timeless One. After the titans showed him his own death, the tormented Nozdormu was tricked by the Old Gods into trying to subvert his mortality. As a result, Nozdormu shattered the timeways and created the infinite dragonflight... jeopardizing the very future of Azeroth.''

In the End Time instance, it is explained fully. Nozdormu has you kill his Murozond self.Crotalus Horridus wrote:I'm pretty sure Nozdormu created the Infinite Dragonflight. I forgot why exactly he did it, but I'm positive he created them

Which in turn, does exactly what the Old Gods tricked him into doing... circumventing his own death that he was shown. But not the way they intended. XD
So, in the end, the Old Gods did help him change his future, even if they intended for him to destroy the world instead.

...How do we know that he didn't know all along that he would be killed by mortals? We know he was gifted with the knowledge of his own death...what we don't know is the details. He always was a bit of a mysterious sort.

Nozdormu was able to avoid this timepath entirely when he gave up his immortality after Deathwing was killed.

Re: Sha-corruption, the downfall of the bronze dragonflight?
He told us that the future he saw was us killing him as Murozond in End Time. (It also goes to reason why he chose the specific group of heroes [lore wise] to go to End Time, because he knew who would be the ones capable of killing him)
However, when he decided to break his pact to not alter the timeline by deciding to retrieve the Dragon Soul, he was no longer timeless in our timeline, as he would eventually give up his aspect powers in the fight with Deathwing, as such, when that happened, he would lose his timelessness, so the Nozdormu that helped us was no longer timeless, and was now separate from the timeless Murozond of the other timelines. This was most likely planned, as it would also explain how Murozond exists in the first place without having the Nozdormu we've grown to know this past year in the game being corrupted.
As Murozond came from a future where Nozdormu didn't give up his powers, he was unaffected by the Hourglass of Time, as he was still timeless, and is why time would reset for us in battle, but not affect him. In the end, his timelessness was the thing that led to his death, and it was he himself who orchestrated it for the better of the world.

May I just say, even though Blizzard re-used the "corrupt a dragon aspect" plot again, this time the way they did it was so insanely brilliant, I don't even care.
