How does time travel work in WoW lore?

Time travel in World of Warcraft (WoW) lore is a complex and multifaceted concept, often involving powerful magical artifacts, beings, or events that allow characters to journey through time or influence past and future events. Here are some key aspects of time travel in WoW lore:

1. Bronze Dragonflight:

2. Caverns of Time:

  • The Caverns of Time is a location in Tanaris, where the Bronze Dragonflight has established their stronghold. Players can visit the Caverns of Time to embark on time-traveling adventures through portals to various points in Azeroth's history.

3. The Infinite Dragonflight:

  • The Infinite Dragonflight is a faction that seeks to disrupt the timeways and alter history for their own malevolent purposes. Players often encounter them as adversaries in time-traveling dungeons and quests.
