Now, let's delve deeper into each of these exciting features.

 

↖ Emerald Dream

Emerald Dream is a breathtaking, overgrown, and vibrant reflection of Azeroth's natural beauty. Players have long awaited the opportunity to explore this mystical realm. While parts of the Dream remain untarnished and beautiful, others have suffered the effects of Fyrakk's intrusion, resulting in a war-torn landscape. Your mission is to restore balance and ensure Fyrakk's plans are thwarted.

 

↖ The Eye of Ysera

Located at the center of the Emerald Dream, the Eye of Ysera is a focal point for the Green Dragonflight protection efforts. It serves as the battleground for the struggle to control Amirdrassil, the World Tree. Here, you'll encounter an array of characters and challenges deeply intertwined with the Dream's history.

 

↖ The Amirdrassil Raid

Amirdrassil raid is a captivating nine-boss adventure that unfolds within the Emerald Dream. The story kicks off at Wellspring Temple, a place vital to Fyrakk's designs on Amirdrassil. This World Tree draws energy and life force from the temple, making it a prime target for Fyrakk and his allies.

 

↖ Raid Wings

The raid comprises two distinct wings:

• Untouched Wing: This portion of the temple remains unscathed and represents the untamed beauty of the Emerald Dream. Encounter Nymue, Weaver of the Cycle, in this section, as she orders the Dream's weave, embodying its creative and protective essence.
• Destroyed Wing: Ravaged by Fyrakk and his fiery allies, the destroyed wing is a stark contrast to the pristine Dream. Here, you'll confront Smolderon, the Firelord, as you navigate the fiery chaos that has erupted within the temple.
• Tendril Sageswift: This Druid of the Flame leader offers a unique encounter. Prepare to Dragonride within a raid as you chase Tendril through the skies, navigating fireballs and engaging in thrilling aerial combat.
• Fyrakk's Showdown: The culmination of the raid brings you face to face with Fyrakk, the fire incarnate himself, in an epic showdown that promises to test your mettle.

 

↖ Raid Rewards

As with any raid in World of Warcraft, players can look forward to earning class-themed armor sets with a touch of the Emerald Dream's essence. These sets feature class-specific bonuses, making them both visually appealing and strategically valuable. Additionally, a new legendary two-handed axe, "Fearlaff the Dream Render," wielded by Fyrakk, awaits those brave enough to earn it.

 

↖ Public Events in the Emerald Dream

Guardians of the Dream introduces a unique and engaging trio of public events within the Emerald Dream, enhancing the world's immersive quality.

• Super Bloom: In this event, you'll defend an Ancient while it traverses the Dream, seeking to bloom its beauty. Please protect it from threats and aid its progress, akin to protecting a payload in Overwatch.
• Emerald Frenzy: Participate in a farming event where nature's wild growth has spiralled out of control. Farm resources and seeds while battling the unruly wilderness.
• Emerald Bounty: Foster sprouts throughout the Dream by planting seeds collected during the Emerald Frenzy. As you nurture these sprouts, they will grow, ultimately yielding valuable rewards when they bloom.

 

↖ The Dream Wardens Renown Faction

The Dream Wardens faction, introduced in Guardians of the Dream is composed of inhabitants of the Emerald Dream. This faction includes Keepers, Dryads, Druids, the Green Dragonflight, and Rune Bears. These beings have joined forces with adventurers to protect Amirdrassil. As your reputation with the Dream Wardens grows, you'll unlock exciting rewards and opportunities to connect with this unique faction.

 

↖ Dragonriding Through the Emerald Dream

Experience the thrill of Dragonriding through the stunning landscapes of the Emerald Dream. Collect hidden glyphs, acquire new Transmog appearances, and explore the skies on your dragon. You'll even gain access to an active ability called Second Wind to enhance your Dragonriding experience.

 

↖ Season 3: New Challenges Await

Guardians of the Dream ushers in a new season known as Season Three. Expect a fresh Mythic+ map pool featuring eight new dungeons, including some making their Mythic+ debut. Mythic+ enthusiasts will find exciting new challenges and routes to conquer. PvP enthusiasts will also be delighted with new cosmetic rewards for battlegrounds and arenas.
