Description[]
A stunning performance... in more ways than one.
So much has transpired on Azeroth in my absence. But there was one dream I did not see portrayed onstage.
I dreamt of Tyrande Whisperwind, engulfed in darkness, twisted by anger and a thirst for vengeance. I witnessed a forbidden ritual, the rise of a new Night Warrior, and a hunt that can end only in tragedy. That too must be real.
<Ysera shakes her head.>
The Winter Queen awaits you in the Heart of the Forest. We had best be on our way.
Rewards[]
You will learn: Night Fae class ability
You will receive:
Progress[]
Welcome to the Hunt.
Completion[]
Your actions here will echo beyond the veil. Aid the forest, and all mortal worlds may yet be saved.
Notes[]
Speak with Ysera:
- This place is new and yet I feel almost as if I have been here before.
I'm ready to go.
You hop on Ysera's back. As she flies you to the Heart of the Forest, she speaks:
- NOTE: Some of Ysera's voice lines may not properly trigger.
- Ysera says: I thought it was all a dream. Argus in the sky, the blade in the desert... Teldrassil aflame...
- Ysera says: All of those souls, lost to the Maw... and Tyrande...
- Ysera says: Her rage darkens her heart like a shadow on the moon. Her hunt is endless and unrelenting.
- Ysera says: But the Night Warrior's power is as much a curse as it is a blessing. It threatens to tear her asunder from within.
- Ysera says: I could not aid the kaldorei when Teldrassil burned. I pray I can aid Tyrande before it is too late.
- Ysera says: For now, however, I believe the queen bids you speak with her.
Just inside, speak with Attendant Sparkledew:
- Attendant Sparkledew says: I can take you to see the queen, <name>.
- Greetings, <name>!
- May I be assistance?
Take me to the Queen's audience chamber, please.
A moth soulshape flies you up to the audience chamber. Assembled on the sides of the room are Ysera, Dreamweaver, Droman Aliothe, Droman Tashmur, Ara'lon, Hunt-Captain Korayn, and Kivarr. The Winder Queen stands in front of her chair at the opposit end of the room, with Lady Moonberry and Lord Herne at her sides.
- Winter Queen says: <Name>, step forward and receive my favor.
Stand on the blue swirl on the ground and use the bonus ability Swearing Oath. You kneel, and a cutscene plays:
- Winter Queen says: You have achieved much in the span of a mortal life. We are fortunate to call you an ally.
- A group of sylvar and vorkai has gathered behind you.
- Winter Queen says: And so by anima, we bless you. By spirit, we embrace you. By oath, we stand beside you.
- As the queen says "we embrace you," Droman Aliothe bows. As she says "we stand beside you," Lord Herne salutes.
- Winter Queen says: Rise, <name> of Azeroth, as <huntsman/huntress> of the Wild Hunt, champion of the Court of Night, and protector of Ardenweald.
- You stand. A beam of blue light shines down on you, fireflies swarm and plants bloom around you, and the fae behind you salute as well.
On complete:
- Winter Queen says: Night embrace you, <name>. Your hunt begins.
At this point, alt characters can speak to the Winter Queen to skip ahead:
I know my way around the Sanctum. <Skip ahead in the campaign chapter to meet your first soulbind.>
- You're teleported in front of Lady Moonberry on the main floor of the Heart of the Forest. She offers

- Description
Your performance was certainly... memorable. The Court was impressed, at least. They do seem fond of showmanship.
Even fanciful as the production was, I was startled by what transpired on Azeroth while I was gone. Argus, Silithus, Teldrassil, another war...
<Ysera shakes her head.>
I had hoped these were merely dark dreams haunting me. But they were all too real.
Come, <name>. I will convey you to the Heart Tree for the induction ceremony. We will speak along the way.
