Storm's Rest

Activate the Globes of Rebirth in the Grove of Awakening.

• Reach Middle of Grove of Awakening
• Activate Globes of Rebirth (3)
• Convince the Winter Queen

Let us go into the Grove of Awakening. The Winter Queen is the only one who can transfer this bond from Ysera to me. I have faith that she will agree. She aided Ysera in a time of desperate need, and now Ysera can help us in turn.

If the Winter Queen agrees, I expect that I will not able to remain awake for long. The weight of the bond will be heavy to bear.

In time, I hope that I may wake again and gaze upon the fully grown might of the new tree.

You will receive:

• 1,200 XP

I long to see the twisting green expanse of the Dream once again.

It has been done. Malfurion will sleep here in my stead. And Tyrande will watch over her people as she has capably done for millennia before.

Now, we must ready ourselves. When I cross over into the Emerald Dream, there will be a brief window when you can join me.

Are you ready?

On accept:

• say
• Malfurion and Tyrande walk south.
• say
• Ysera follows Malfurion and Tyrande as Somnikus exits to the north.

Follow them south into the center of the grove, where the Winter Queen is dressing down Ysera, Malfurion, and Tyrande:

The Winter Queen has gossip here:

• The balance of life and death is to be guarded with great gravity.

Three Globes of Rebirth light up, so interact with them, then speak with the Winter Queen, who has different gossip for Night Fae and non-Night Fae:

• Night Fae
• An oath made must be kept. As a member of my court, you know the cost to save the Child of Dreams was high, drawing from my own weakened essence.

• Ardenweald may flourish now, but it did not, then. Why should I let her go, when so much was given?

• Others
• An oath made must be kept. It is my power that sustained the Child of Dreams when she was in deepest peril.

• Why should I break that bond?

• (will do as warned!)
• Ysera cannot yet leave this realm to help protect the growing seed. She is bonded to me.

• Only if there is another, one who also moves by the great cycle, and who is willing to trade their place for hers, may she go. Then they must bear the weight of the bond.

• Does he understand the import and gravity of this sacrifice?

• That he may long sleep under the boughs of Ardenweald, away from his love and his people, until Ysera once more returns and renews this bond?

• say
• Ysera briefly reverts to the blue soulshape form, which transfers over to Malfurion.
• say
• Ysera moves to the center of the area, Tyrande and Malfurion walk away to the west for a private moment, and the Winter Queen moves to focus on Ysera.

Should the player follow them, Malfurion and Tyrande have this to say when they reach their spot at west of the grove:

• say
• say
• Malfurion lies down and starts sleeping as Ardenweald magic is swirling around him. Tyrande kneels.
