The novel centers around [[Malfurion Stormrage]]; [[Christie Golden]] confirmed it was definitely not about [[Illidan Stormrage|Illidan]] at [[BlizzCon 2008]], and Chris Metzen and Micky Neilson said Malfurion would play a major role at New York Comic Con 2009.

The storyline explores the corruption of the [[Emerald Dream]], and takes place some time after the transport of [[Dalaran]] to [[Northrend]] (an early scene with featuring [[Krasus]] mentions that the city has already been moved).

Many are the mysteries surrounding the Emerald Dream and its reclusive guardians, the [[green dragonflight]]. In times past, [[druid]]s have entered the Dream to monitor the ebb and flow of life on Azeroth in their never-ending quest to maintain the delicate balance of nature.

However, not all dreams are pleasant ones. Recently the [[Emerald Nightmare]], an area of corruption within the Emerald Dream, began growing in size, transforming the Dream into a realm of unimaginable horror. Green dragons have been unexpectedly caught up in the Nightmare, emerging from it with shattered minds and twisted bodies. Druids who have entered the darkening Dream lately have found it difficult -- sometimes even impossible -- to escape.

Nor are these the Nightmare's only victims: more and more people are being affected. Even [[Malfurion Stormrage]], first and foremost of the druids on Azeroth, may have fallen victim to this growing threat. As uncontrollable nightmares spread across the world, a desperate quest begins to find and free the archdruid.

The opening chapters follow various characters, and the nightmares and visions they experience. Some, such as Krasus, and the townspeople of Goldshire, are unable to awake. These nightmares are attributed to the spreading of the corruption of the [[Emerald Dream]], both within the Dream itself and into Azeroth as well. Through these nightmares and visions, [[Tyrande Whisperwind]] learns of the impending death of Malfurion, who has not returned from and has been out of reach within the Emerald Dream, as are all the others who have recently walked it, including [[Ysera]] and the [[green dragonflight]]. As a result of this a convocation of druids is called by [[Fandral Staghelm]] on [[Teldrassil]], where he reveals that Teldrassil is threatened by the Dream's corruption, and that the druids' efforts to heal Teldrassil will yield to them a way to save Malfurion. In attendance at the convocation is [[Broll Bearmantle]], who has received visions of Teldrassil's corruption and death. Tyrande asks the druids to visit Malfurion's sleeping body in Moonglade to address the situation. Fandral does not take the reports of nightmares and endless sleep spreading throughout the world as linked to Teldrassil's corruption or to Malfurion's dire state, and insists on the healing of Teldrassil as the solution. He had initially intended to use the [[Idol of Remulos]] to heal the Tree, but Remulos himself forbid it.

Within the Emerald Dream, Malfurion is slowly transforming into a tree against his will by the work of someone referred to only as "the Nightmare Lord." He is somehow using Malfurion's druidic powers to spread the corruption throughout the world, but Malfurion can only see shadows and hear his voice, and so does not understand who the perpetrator is, or how to escape. He does manage to learn, however, that somehow the Nightmare Lord has control of some of the green dragonflight.

Tyrande is not convinced by Fandral's plan, and, desperate to save Malfurion, asks Broll to travel to Bough Shadow, in Ashenvale, where there is a portal that enters the Emerald Dream. He steals the Idol of Remulos from Fandral's chest in Cenarion Enclace and Tyrande secretly accompanies him to Bough Shadow after meeting in Auberdine, leaving [[Shandris Feathermoon]] charged with ruling Darnassus until her return.

Revision as of 00:14, 24 July 2011

Spirit beasts are the embodied spirits of the natural world. They are naturally incorporeal, but may take a true physical form to fight for the druid or shaman who called them. Fighting a spirit beast is harrowing, as the creature phases in and out of existence, rarely appearing in the same place twice during battle. Spirit beasts appear like regular animals, but bear glowing auras and are slightly translucent, even when visible.[1]
