Emerald Dream (subzone)

This area is the ancient heart of the Emerald Dream. Ysera used to rest here.

After Xavius is killed, the Rift of Aln from the Emerald Nightmare disperses. Adventurers appear in the Emerald Dream restored, where a purified Cenarius stands on a dais of titan design, surrounded by the redeemed souls of those taken by the Nightmare. The spirit of Ysera can silently lead one across a lake and inside a cave to a foreboding flower. On the opposite side in the distance, the cleansed ghosts of the Dragons of Nightmare appear.

Merithra of the Dream and a champion entered this place from the Emerald Dreamway in order to reform some emerald shards into a dragonscale so the champion could use it to empower the dragon's essence he had inside the Heart of Azeroth. Once in the ancient heart of the Dream, they were shocked to find Void corruption in it. The champion fought and vanquished the corruption, including the one who drew it out, the Void Horror. Inside Ancient Rest, the champion found some void roots and after purifying them, a Remnant of the Void appeared. Once the area had been cleansed, the emerald shards were thrown into the lake and Merithra, alongside some of her flight companions, used the flames of the Emerald flight to reforged them into the Dreamglow Dragonscale.

During the war against the Primalists, a force of the Primalists and their elemental servants invaded the area. They sought The Sisters' Tear, but an adventurer placed Infused Anchors and summoned Ysera from Ardenweald and defeated the Primalists.

• During Step Into the Life, the zone is named Emerald Dreamway instead of Emerald Dream like in the previous visits.
