Protectors of the Vision Patch 10.2 Campaign Chapter 6: Fresh Starts (Story Spoilers)

Hey there, fellow adventurers! Get ready for a thrilling update on the latest World of Warcraft questline. Today, we'll be diving into the final chapter of the Emerald Dream's storyline - New Beginnings. This exciting new content is unlocked after defeating the formidable Fyrakk in the Amirdrassil raid. Join us as we explore the intricacies of this epic adventure and uncover the secrets that lie within.

Unveiling the Quest: A Blossom Witnessed

Once you've achieved a remarkable Fyrakk kill and completed Amirdrassil, Tyrande Whisperwind eagerly offers you a new quest called "A Blossom Witnessed". This quest acts as a bridge between the raid and the continuation of the story. Keep in mind that there have been speculations about this quest being unintentionally released ahead of schedule.

In the raid, after triumphing over Fyrakk, something extraordinary occurs. Alexstrasza, Nozdormu, Kalecgos, Merithra, Ebyssian, and Vyranoth are re-energized as Dragon Aspects, not by the Titans, but by the living essence of Azeroth herself. This newfound power sets the stage for the next phase of our adventure.

Tyrande reveals that Amirdrassil has transcended the boundaries of the Emerald Dream and has taken root in our very world. This revelation leads us to the Ancient Bough in the beautiful Ohn'ahran Plains, where we find the Dragon Aspects facing a mysterious new zone in the Dragon Isles - Amirdrassil.

Meeting Our Allies

Our first task is to check on our allies who reside near the Dragon Isles, ensuring their well-being after the transformative changes in the land. We encounter various groups and individuals who all have unique perspectives on this momentous occasion.

• The Centaur Encounter: Khanam Matra Sarest and Okir

The centaur, led by Khanam Matra Sarest, expresses awe and happiness as they witness this extraordinary event. They discuss rallying a celebratory hunt and preparing for a grand feast. It seems everyone is thrilled with the newfound vitality that Amirdrassil brings to Azeroth's kin.

• The Catalogers' Dilemma: Cataloger Wulferd and Cataloger Coralie

The Catalogers, who are in search of lost film, find themselves in a predicament. They lost a bag of film when they were swept to the Dragon Isles. Thankfully, with our help, they recover their lost property and express gratitude as they eagerly capture the first photos of the magnificent new World Tree. They excitedly anticipate capturing images of the Dream creatures that may inhabit the area.

• The Gnolls' Delight: Gnoll Mon-Ark and the Gnoll Followers

As we encounter Mon-Ark and his gnoll followers, we witness their joy at the sight of the grand and beautiful tree. They revel in its life-giving aura. However, Mon-Ark cautions that rot also seeks out life trees. Curiously, references are made to Wratheye, alluding to potential conflicts and dangers that lie ahead.

• The Furbolg Connection: Radza Thunderclaw and Adday

Radza Thunderclaw and Adday, hailing from Longclaw Islands, recount their anticipation upon hearing of an impending event. The blossoming of Amirdrassil surely exceeds their expectations, leaving them wondering what other wonders this transformative event will bring to the Dragon Isles.

• The Tuskarr Rescue Mission: Scaps, Hanu, Nau, and Norukk

Scaps, a gnoll friend of the Tuskarr, finds himself in a perilous situation, struggling to stay afloat after being swept away by the transformation. With our assistance, we rescue Scaps from drowning, earning the gratitude of Hanu, Nau, and Norukk. A potential picnic is suggested as a way to celebrate the safe rescue.

Tyrande's Ceremony: Welcoming Amirdrassil

Once everyone has been accounted for and is safe, Merithra informs us that the Night Elves are preparing a grand ceremony to commemorate the arrival of Amirdrassil and establish a new moonwell. Our journey takes us to the central encampment, where we rendezvous with Tyrande Whisperwind herself.

This enchanting ceremony attracts Night Elves from all corners of Azeroth. Tyrande requests our help in accepting offerings from key individuals who wish to commemorate this momentous occasion. Rensar Greathoof offers soil from the Dreamgrove as a symbol of courage, harking back to their battles against the Nightmare. Cerellean Whiteclaw presents a pendant in memory of his beloved Anaya Dawnrunner, who perished in the War of the Ancients. Delaryn Summermoon offers a druid talisman as a beacon of hope in honor of her lost love, Ferryn, who fell during the War of Thorns. Moon Priestess Lasara presents a tabard from Darnassus, symbolizing the unwavering devotion and strength of the kaldorei. Night Elf players also have the opportunity to make their personal offerings at this integral moment in the storyline.

With the offerings accepted, the ceremonial rituals can finally commence, culminating in the mesmerizing New Moon Ritual cinematic.

Celebrations and Rumors

Following the ceremony's conclusion, it's time to revel in the joyous festivities. We are tasked with serving guests from various races and factions, all gathered to join the Night Elves in celebration. Dragons, dracthyr, and drakonid rove the festive grounds. Tuskarr, Niffen, Furbolg, and Wild Gods grace us with their presence. Even representatives from the Dragonflight factions and renowned heroes of Azeroth have come to partake in the revelry. Some mischievous Ardenweald spriggans cause a bit of trouble, and Merithra seeks our aid in restoring order. Tyrande engages in a profound conversation with Alexstrasza, discussing the hope and unity that the future holds. Delaryn Summermoon is visited by the wisp of her late love, Ferryn, signifying the Night Elves who perished in Teldrassil have become wisps. Meanwhile, Khadgar appears to be preoccupied, prompting Kalecgos to ask for our assistance in fetching him a drink.

As the celebrations continue, whispers of intriguing threads and unresolved stories begin to circulate among the attendees. Thrall and Jaina can hear a mysterious voice calling to them, while Khadgar expresses concern over reports of the enigmatic Harbinger Xal'atath. These rumblings offer a tantalizing taste of the adventures that await us on the PTR and hint at the forthcoming Worldsoul Saga.

Eventually, Ysera summons us to the moonwell. Here, a heartfelt reunion takes place as Kalecgos and Jaina cross paths again, sharing a comforting moment over a warm bowl of soup. The reforged Tyr and Koranos also make an appearance, but their attempt at a brief reprieve from their duties ends unsuccessfully, suggesting that this questline was not intended to be accessible until the completion of the Tyr questline in the upcoming weeks.

Before bidding us farewell, Ysera reflects on the journey and the vibrant growth of Amirdrassil. She expresses her gratitude for the time spent together and reminisces about the dedication she and Tyrande showed to protect the precious tree. With a sense of pride, Ysera assures Merithra that she has become a capable leader in her own right and that she doesn't need constant guidance. Although her farewell is bittersweet, Ysera reminds us that beauty resides in the borrowed time we are given.
