Great Tree


 * Were you looking for the giant trees known as World Trees?

Great Trees are saplings of the World Tree and portals to the Emerald Dream. Great Trees can be found in Feralas, Ashenvale, The Hinterlands, Duskwood, and Crystalsong Forest.

Background
Ysera, the great Dreaming Dragon Aspect, rules over the enigmatic green dragonflight. Her domain is the fantastic, mystical realm of the Emerald Dream — and it is said that from there she guides the evolutionary path of the world itself. She is the protector of nature and imagination, and it is the charge of her flight to guard all of the Great Trees across the world, which only druids use to enter the Dream itself.

In recent times, Ysera's most trusted lieutenants (Lethon, Ysondre, Emeriss, and Taerar) have been warped by a dark new power within the Emerald Dream. Now these wayward sentinels have passed through the Great Trees into Azeroth, intending to spread madness and terror throughout the mortal kingdoms. Even the mightiest of adventurers would be well advised to give the dragons a wide berth, or suffer the consequences of their misguided wrath.

A flourishing Great Tree grows in Seradane, guarded by green dragons.

A fifth Great Tree can be found in Crystalsong Forest on the continent of Northrend.

Worgen great trees


The large tree Tal'doren in Blackwald may be a type of Great Tree. It corresponds to Daral'nir in the Emerald Dream, which serves as a prison for the Druids of the Scythe. The tree has grown out of and through a night elf structure which can be seen sticking out of various sections of the tree.
