User:Demonbunny75/The Emerald Nightmare

The Emerald Dream is a part of the Warcraft universe that would be an obvious choice for a future expansion.

Areas and Races

 * New area: The Emerald Dream would be the new area in this expansion. The Dream is a mirror of Azeroth, save for that it is without mortal influence.  This means that Kalimdor would still be Azeroth's only supercontinent.  Several regions in the Dream are also completely different, such as the nonexistence of the Searing Gorge and Burning Steppes just to name a few.  But the Emerald Dream has become corrupted by a mysterious force known as The Nightmare, throwing it out of balance.  The Nightmare can also trap those who travel into The Dream, making them Unwaking.
 * Main Villain(s): The Nightmare is an area of corruption within the Dream that twists and corrupts everything it touches. It is unknown what is behind The Nightmare, but it is speculated that an Old God is the reason for The Nightmare.
 * Player Allies: Green Dragonflight, Malfurion and his druids, Cenarius.
 * Playable Races: Cenarian (Keeper of the Grove), Drakonid.

Hero Classes
Both factions will get a unique hero class, both with a connection to the expansion's theme.

Emerald Druid (Alliance)
The Emerald Druid is a Druid hero class that focuses more on balance and restoration than a normal druid. Emerald Druids can enter a Dreamstate for several seconds, increasing both health and mana regeneration, but increasing damage taken as well. They can also transform into Wisps to increase their movement speed.

Dream Walker (Horde)
The Dream Walker is a Balance Druid mixed with a Subtlety Rogue. They can use their close connection to the Dream to phase out of physical existence, making them nearly impossible to detect. The damage spells of the Dream Walker focus more on Arcane damage, as they draw power from the Moon and Stars.
