After many years and brief visits, players will finally be able to explore the Emerald Dream as an open-world area in Patch 10.2, Guardians of the Dream.
The zone will be based around Amirdrassil's roots and includes many different activities, including three new public events, which are linked to one another. Plus a new world boss: Aurostor, the Hibernating is available at the zone.
New Outdoor Zone: The Emerald Dream
A special seed, planted by Tyrande, has grown into a new World Tree and is on the verge of crossing over into Azeroth. Fyrakk and his forces, including his new allies—the Druids of the Flame, move among the roots of the World Tree, inflaming the Dream denizens as they attempt to tear into the Emerald Dream to infuse the heart of the World Tree with fire and use it as a conduit to spread eternal flames throughout Azeroth.
