A Great Tree

'Great Trees are saplings of the World Tree and portals to the Emerald Dream.Template:Cite 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.[1]

A fifth Great Tree can be found in Crystalsong Forest on the continent of Northrend. The only non-crystal in the entire forest, this enormous tree stands near its northern edge. Few trees are even close to this one’s size — its trunk is easily as thick around as a castle and its canopy rises several hundred feet above the ground. Its roots must be equally deep to pass below the crystals into soil, unless the crystals themselves provide nourishment. Great Trees are portals into the Emerald Dream. Twelve green dragons guard it constantly, nesting in its branches and swooping down to intercept visitors. Druids are allowed entrance. Everyone else is turned back, or killed.Template:Cite
