Key Takeaways

• At Lunedane in the Ohn'ahran Plains, the Druids of the Flame corrupted Larodar, Keeper of the Flame, whom the player defeated before he vanished into the Emerald Dream.
• Fyrakk's true aim was to corrupt Amirdrassil, the new World Tree, with shadowflame and twist it into a crown of flame, not simply to burn it down.
• The questline ended with Vyranoth defecting from her brother, warning Alexstrasza of his plot, and being asked to stand with the Aspects, setting up Patch 10.2 "Guardians of the Dream."

This walkthrough covers Dragonflight story content from Patch 10.1.7, and it contains full spoilers. The opening quest "A Sentinel's Summon" was removed in Patch 10.2.0, so the chain is no longer playable as described, but it remains the canonical bridge into Guardians of the Dream.

A Sentinel's Summon: Where the Questline Began

The Shandris Feathermoon questline started the moment a level 70 character first zoned into Valdrakken and picked up "A Sentinel's Summon," which sent the player to meet Shandris at the base of the steps leading to the Seat of the Aspects. She had been monitoring the primalists, and she had learned of what passed between Fyrakk and Vyranoth from the green dragon Gerithus, son of Merithra, shown in the Fury Incarnate in-game cinematic.

Shandris had also picked up word of another secret meeting between Fyrakk and Vyranoth near Lunedane in the Ohn'ahran Plains. She asked for help pursuing the primalists to uncover their schemes, and the two of them set out for Lunedane to begin the investigation.

Lunedane and the Druids of the Flame

Fyrakk and Vyranoth had already arrived and were meeting at a nearby overlook. Fiery Primalist forces had blocked the way and were trying to establish a foothold in Lunedane. The player was charged with thinning those forces and destroying the wards protecting the bridge to the overlook, while avoiding an all-out battle. Shandris soon realized there was more to the attack than it first appeared: the Primalist forces were Druids of the Flame.

Shandris: "We will thin out only enough Primalists to safeguard ourselves. This is an intelligence mission, not a battle."

Shandris: "These are druids!"

After disabling the wards, Shandris lamented that any Night Elves could join Fyrakk's cause, then urged the player to cross the bridge to the overlook and learn more about the plot. The crossing was a short fiery gauntlet that required collecting fire-infusing Smoldering Blossoms and sheltering in patches of protective mist.

Shandris: "Grab this flower, then we can sneak our way towards the Incarnates. Remember to avoid the flames."

Along the way, the pair eavesdropped on Fyrakk and Vyranoth.

Fyrakk: "You told me not to harm their beloved children."

Vyranoth: "So, you ally with these-- flame zealots?"

Fyrakk: "We need a path into this Dream. They know the way."

Vyranoth: "They do not share our cause. What have you promised them?"

Fyrakk: "They seek immortality in the living flame and delightful destruction!"

They stayed hidden in nearby bushes as the two Incarnates continued.

Vyranoth: "Do you not fear we are losing sight of our goals?"

Fyrakk: "Nonsense! Victory is within our grasp! With our new allies, we will be more powerful than ever."

Vyranoth: "That is not what I mean, Fyrakk."

Fyrakk: "Stop fretting and follow me. There is something I want you to see. Behold sister, the burning might of our new allies."

It was here that Fyrakk revealed his real intent. He did not just plan to burn down Amirdrassil, the new World Tree. He meant to corrupt it with shadowflame and twist it into a vile crown of flame. The player was then sent to dispatch the newly corrupted Larodar, Keeper of the Flame, and to return to Valdrakken to report to the Dragon Aspects.

Larodar: "Arise, my children! Unleash your raging flames! Feed these lands with the ashes of those who oppose us!"

Larodar: "The Dream... calls to me... I must answer..."

With the druids' portals cutting off the way back, Shandris held the line and handed over a whistle so one of her hippogryphs could ferry the player back to the city.

Return to Valdrakken

The player returned to the Seat of the Aspects to report to Captain Drine, but a sudden blizzard began to descend on Valdrakken.

Captain Drine: "So, that is why Fyrakk has been focusing his assault on the Ohn'ahran Plains."

Captain Drine: "By the Aspects... She is here. Guards! To the lower ledge! Champion, follow us and prepare to fight."

The Primalist Vyranoth had come to Valdrakken, seeking an audience with Alexstrasza.

Vyranoth: "I must speak with Alexstrasza. Out of my way, all of you."

Rather than attacking, Vyranoth disavowed Fyrakk and warned Alexstrasza of his plot. Alexstrasza, in turn, asked Vyranoth to stand with the Aspects as a protector of Azeroth. It was a genuine turn against her brother, and the question the questline left open was whether Vyranoth had truly broken with the Primalists or was playing a deeper game.

How It Set Up Patch 10.2

That answer arrived in Patch 10.2 "Guardians of the Dream," which launched on November 7, 2023 as Dragonflight Season 3. Vyranoth's defection held: she fought alongside the Aspects, and Fyrakk was ultimately stopped at the Wellspring of Amirdrassil before he could corrupt the tree's core. Larodar returned as a boss inside the Amirdrassil, the Dream's Hope raid, where the corruption seen in this questline played out at full scale.

FAQ

What patch added the Shandris Feathermoon questline?

Dragonflight Patch 10.1.7 "Fury Incarnate," released September 5, 2023, as the "Coalition of Flames" campaign. The opening quest was later removed in Patch 10.2.0.

Where and how did the questline start?

It began on zoning into Valdrakken with the quest "A Sentinel's Summon," where the player met Shandris Feathermoon at the base of the steps to the Seat of the Aspects. That start quest is no longer in the game as of Patch 10.2.0.

Who is Gerithus, and how is he related to Ysera?

Gerithus is a green dragon, the son of Merithra and therefore the grandson of the former Aspect Ysera. Fyrakk captured and tortured him to learn the way into the Emerald Dream.

Is Larodar the same character as the Amirdrassil raid boss?

Yes. Larodar, Keeper of the Flame was corrupted by the Druids of the Flame during this questline and later returned as a boss in the Amirdrassil, the Dream's Hope raid in Patch 10.2.

What did Fyrakk actually want with Amirdrassil?

He wanted to corrupt the fledgling World Tree with shadowflame and twist it into a crown of flame to burn Azeroth and remake it in his image, not simply to destroy it.

How does this questline connect to Patch 10.2?

It is the direct prelude. Vyranoth's defection to the Aspects set up "Guardians of the Dream" and the Amirdrassil, the Dream's Hope raid, where Fyrakk was finally defeated.
