Ysera was the formal Green Dragon Aspect.
Ysera Lore Video by Nobbel87
Early Life
Ysera's story begins with the Titans. Ancient, planet-sized beings of Order, the Titans journey around the cosmos, searching for others of their kind to awaken. They took an interest in the world of Azeroth because it contains its own Titan soul. Azeroth was a bit of a chaotic mess at the time, with the Elemental Lords who inhabited it at war, encouraged by the Chaotic Old Gods. The Titans set about bringing Order to the planet, calming the Elements, and imprisoning the Old Gods. They created a mirror dimension, known as the Emerald Dream, which would remain an unchanged copy of the natural world. They also created new guardians for Azeroth, among them the Titan Keepers.
Ysera was not created by the Titans. She was a proto-dragon - creatures descended from the elementals. These proto-dragons found themselves dealing with a monstrous problem when one of them, Galakrond, grew to an enormous size and became so ravenous he started to devour others of his race. These cannibalized dragons became mindless undead, able to infect any dragon they bit to become one of them.
A resistance was formed and, wanting to see an end to the threat, the Keeper Tyr became involved. Though she argued for peaceful resolution until the end, Ysera became one of five proto-dragons who ultimately defeated Galakrond, who had grown even more horrifying and had started to devour his own undead minions by the end.
Impressed by the proto-dragons, the Titan Keeper Tyr believed that they could help look after Azeroth, and he convinced most of the other Keepers to help him grant the proto-dragons special powers. The proto-dragons became dragons, and the five who had defeated Galakrond - Malygos, Alexstrasza, Nozdormu, Neltharion, and Ysera - became the Dragon Aspects, each given their own realm to look after. The Titan Keeper Freya gifted Ysera with some powers of the Titan Eonar the Life-Binder. These powers gave Ysera command over the natural world and of the Emerald Dream. Ysera's scales became a bright green, and she fell into a deep sleep, watching the world from the Emerald Dream. From then on she was known as The Dreamer. Like all of the Dragon Aspects, she was able to take on the form of any race, though her main form was that of a mighty green dragon.
Titan Keeper Betryal
Not all the Titan Keepers agreed with Tyr's decision. Loken especially was strongly against it, and eventually would betray and leave the Keepers completely. In time, the fallen Keeper's creations, Volkhan and Ignis, took over the Vykrul Winterskorn clan and initiated a war against the Earthen. Tyr and other Keepers rushed to assist the Earthen against this threat, and Tyr called on the Dragon Aspects for help. The Aspects worked together to defeat the enemy, with Ysera and Nozdormu working together to surround the Vykrul with a mist that put them to sleep. These slumbering Vykrul were then safely locked away.
War of the Ancients
When the Night Elf Queen, Azshara, attempted to summon the fallen Titan Sargeras into Azeroth, it kicked off a war known as the War of the Ancients. Faced with a demonic threat, Neltharion, the Black Dragon Aspect, argued that what they needed was a powerful weapon. He convinced the other aspects to each give up a portion of their power, using it to create an artifact known as the Dragon Soul. This made the aspects less powerful, but they could use it to help defeat the Legion.
Unfortunately, Neltharion had been driven mad by the whispers of the Old Gods. Now known as Deathwing, he used the Dragon Soul on the other Aspects, and many dragons, including most of Malygos's Blue Dragonflight, died as they tried to defeat him. However, Deathwing began to become overpowered by the Dragon Soul's energies, and his body began to fall apart. He was forced to retreat and hide while he tried to literally keep it together. Unable to either destroy the Dragon Soul or reclaim its power, the other Dragon Aspects hid it away in a remote corner of Azeroth.
Ysera lost a lot during the War of the Ancients. As the Aspect of Nature, she had deep connection with the natural Wild Gods, and many of them took part in the fight. Her adopted son, Cernarius, was badly wounded, and when she witnessed the death of her dear friend Malorne, her rage and pain was so tense that she went on a rampage through the demons.
During this time Xavius, one of Queen Azshara's Highbornes, was transformed by Sargeras into the first Satyr. Xavius was finally killed by the Night Elf Malfurion, but his soul lingered in a tree, and he fell under the influence of the Old Gods.
During the War of the Ancients, the Well of Eternity, a powerful font of magic that the Titans had created, was destroyed, an explosion that ripped the world apart. The Night Elves partly blamed this war on this magic - it was Azshara's and Sargeras's greed for power that caused them to unleash their assault on Azeroth. They were horrified, therefore, when Illadin, using water taken from the Well of Eternity, created a new Well, and Illadin was arrested and imprisoned as a betrayer.
To help control the new Well, Alexstraza planted the World Tree Nordrassil, which granted the Night Elves immortality and prevented the Well's powers from ever becoming something that could be abused the way the previous Well's were. Ysera blessed the tree so that it could be used by Druids to enter the Emerald Dream.
The Night Elves selected new leaders after the War. Tyrande, a Priestess of Elune, and Malfurion, a Druid, had fought bravely, and had also fallen in love. Ysera would get to know Malfurion well as he walked the Emerald Dream.
Reclaimed Power
When the Dark Portal opened and Orcs invaded Azeroth, Deathwing, who had been sleeping in his lair, finally awoke. Immediately attracted to the brutal Orcs, he eventually approached them and convinced them to help find and retrieve the Dragon Soul, which they then used to bind the Red Dragon Aspect, Alexstrasza. Known as the Life-Binder, Alexstrasza was forced to produce Red Dragon children for the Orcs to ride into battle. Her consort, Korialstrasz, desperately wanted to rescue his Queen, and he approached the other Aspects for help.
The Aspects were too wary of the Dragon Soul, now known as the Demon Soul, to help outright attack the orcs, but they kept an eye on events. Korialstrasz found help in the wizard Rhonin, and Alexstrasza continued to fight. She eventually managed to break free of her bonds, and the other Dragon Aspects, who had been watching for a moment like this, immediately joined the fight. Alexstrasza was freed, the Demon Soul was destroyed by the wizard Rhonin, and its powers returned to the Dragon Aspects. Once again, Deathwing was forced to flee.
The Sunken Temple
When a group of fanatical trolls known as the Atal'ai tried to summon the Loa of Blood to Azeroth, Ysera found out and intervened. To prevent it from ever again being used for evil, Ysera sunk their temple - creating the Sunken Temple - below the waters in the Swamp of Sorrows.
The Third War and Teldrassil
During the Third War, when the Legion began to attack once again, the Night Elves made the difficult decision of destroying Nordrassil to take down the demon lord Archimonde. The Night Elves lost their immortality, and though the Archdruid Fandral Staghelm planted a new World Tree called Teldrassil, this tree was not blessed by the Dragon Aspects, so it was susceptible to the Nightmare. Xavius, still a tree, managed to gain influence over Fandral and manipulated him into grafting one of the satyr-tree's branches into Teldrassil, infecting it with the Emerald Nightmare, an Old God corruption of the Emerald Dream.
World of Warcraft
By the time of the events in World of Warcraft, Ysera had fallen silent due to the Emerald Nightmare. Players were able to encounter and kill some of Ysera's lieutenants who had become corrupted by the Nightmare, Lethon, Emeriss, Taerar, and Ysondre - known as the
Dragons of Nightmare
.
Wrath of the Lich King
Ysera could be found at the Emerald Dragonshrine in Dragonblight, Northrend. In a
quest given by Nishera the Garden Keeper
, the Green Dragon would tell players how she had asked for her Aspect's help against the Scourge, but instead Ysera had just commanded that the Dragonshrine's defenders attack anyone who wasn't of the Green Dragonflight. Nishera was worried that Ysera had been affected by the Nightmare.
In Ulduar, when during the boss fight with
Yogg-Saron
, players could witness a number of visions. One of these visions showed the creation of the Dragon Soul, where Ysera could be seen realizing something has gone wrong.
Neltharion says: It is done... All have given that which must be given. I now seal the Dragon Soul forever...
Ysera says: That terrible glow... should that be?
Neltharion says: For it to be as it must, yes.
Malygos says: It is a weapon like no other. It must be like no other.
Yogg-Saron says: His brood learned their lesson before too long, you shall soon learn yours!
The Emerald Nightmare
With the Nightmare growing in the Emerald Dream, Ysera tried to defend her realm against Xavius, but her once-loyal lieutenant, Lethon, tricked her by disguising himself as her consort Eranikus and making it seem he was trapped within the Nightmare. As Ysera rushed to help her consort, Lethon revealed himself and was able to trap The Dreamer, imprisoning her in the Eye of Ysera. Eranikus eventually sacrificed himself to free her, while Malfurion was able to defeat Xavius once again. Ysera and Alexstrasza attended the wedding of Malfurion and Tyrande, and finally gave their blessings to Teldrassil.
Aftermath of the Emerald Nightmare
Now Ysera the Awakened, the Green Dragon Aspect had woken confused by her dreams and nightmares of past, present and future. All she knew was Thrall had some important part to play in preventing the Hour of Twilight - the time when the Old Gods would overtake Azeroth and destroy all life. She sent Thrall to find Nozdormu, the Bronze Dragon Aspect of Time, who had gone missing in the timelines. Thrall and Nozdormu fighted against corrupted dragons known as the Infinite Dragonflight, lead by monstrous Chromatic Dragon Chromatus, who Ysera, along with the other aspects, helped to defeat.
Nozdormu eventually revealed that, in the future, he would become the leader of this flight. He told the other Aspects of his discovery - and that the Old Gods were behind a lot of the horrible events the Dragonflights had faced, including Nozdormu's own destined corruption and fall. Ysera's response was that they should all keep fighting as one, and the Aspects each gave Thrall a scale to use if he ever had to call on them for help again.
Cataclysm
Deathwing, who had been slumbering in his cave recovering from his defeat and being driven even more mad by the whispers of the old gods, finally awoke, ripping his way back into the world and causing The Shattering - a world-changing series of earthquakes, tsunamis, and other disasters caused by the Black Dragon's return.
Ysera could be
found in Mount Hyjal
, where she was involved in several quests dedicating to protecting the zone. She assisted in the war against Ragneros and in
restoring the World Tree Nordrassil
. She also attended the
wedding of Aggra and Thrall
.
It was Ysera who realized the Dragon Soul might be able to help defeat Deathwing. But since it's been destroyed, it would have to be retrieved from the past. Players could help Thrall visit the past and retrieve the Dragon Soul in the Caverns of Time. During the Dragon Soul raid, Ysera, along with the other aspects, appeared and leaned their power to the Dragon Soul, which Thrall and the players used to finally defeat Deathwing.
The Hour of Twilight had officially been avoided, but the Dragon Aspects had sacrificed their power to accomplish it. They became mortal, Ysera included, and felt that their destiny had been fulfilled.
While the Ysera and the other dragons decided to hand their duties over to mortals, they would later realize that they didn't have to be Aspects to help protect the world.
Legion
During Legion, Xavius and the Emerald Nightmare began to make a return, yet again. Players could take part in a quest where
Ysera would be summoned
so that they could ask her to help save Cenarius from the Nightmare. She would believe that the Tears of Elune could help and send players to
try retrieve them
. However, Xavius got there first, and Cenarius was overtaken completely. Xavius also managed to capture Malfurion.
Even more tragically, Xavius used the tears to corrupt Ysera herself.
Tyrande was given a choice. She could choose to try save her husband, or she could choose to protect the Temple of Elune from Xavius and the now corrupted Ysera. Tyrande chose to honor her oath as Priestess of Elune and protect the temple. Players joined her in the battle, and Ysera was defeated. As the Dragon Aspect died, Elune reached down and cleansed her soul, along with the Tears of Elune. Ysera's spirit was lifted into the night sky where it became a constellation.
Players would go into the Emerald Nightmare itself to defeat Xavius. Afterwards, Ysera's soul could be witnessed walking into a cave, where players could find a flower called a
Remnant of the Void
. This troubling vision was the last players saw of Ysera for a long time.
