Hello everyone! I’ve counted the votes and the card you wanted me to talk about most
is the wisp, the must have card for any arena
deck. . If you hit an Eredar Lord with enough Wisps, it will explode. But why? That’s
what we’re going to talk about today and so much more so let’s begin shall we?!
The wisp is a 1 1 0 mana cost card in Hearthstone but they can also be summoned with the Dark
Wispers or the Wisps of the Old Gods cards. In the lore, wisps are still quite a mystery.
The Warcraft RPG says that Wisps are mysterious forest spirirts of unknown origin. They are
connected to the forest and many believe that wisps often evolve into mighty ancient protectors
or different kind of creatures. Some human scholars think wisps are the souls of deceased night elves,
but these claims have yet to be proven and are met with near mockery among the night
elves. The wisps can heal living wood, repair building and when threatened, they can detonate
and deal a huge amount of damage to their target. Now the warcraft RPG has been declared
non canon which means in general, the lore of the RPG is not part of the official lore.
However, in this case we’ve seen these things happen during Warcraft 3. Wisps have been
used as peons, to gather resources, evolve into different buildings, repair buildings
and they've even been used to save the world. At the battle for mount Hiyal, Malfurion stormrage and Tyrande
whisperwind allied themselves with people like Jaina Proudmoore and Thrall. They were
fighting at the time against the Legion, Archimonde himself and Malfurion had a very clever plan in mind:
He gatherd thousands of wisps as the rest of their forces held the legion at
bay. As archimonde climbed the world tree, the Horn of Cenarius gave the signal and as
one, these wisps, these ancestral spirits gathered together to destroy the demon lord,
blow up the world tree nordrassil yet also save the world at the same time. So these ancestral
spirits, where they simply the spirits of deceased night elves, those fallen during
the War of the Ancients now getting their revenge? It's possible and the ingame racial ability
for the night elves seems to support it yet we also have Aessina to consider. In the chronicles,
Aessina is described as one of the wild gods, a demi- god, the mother wisp. She was part
of our questing experience during the cataclysm at mount hiyal where we worked on bringing
some of the wild gods back to Azeroth. We’ve been succesfull up to this point in bringing some of the other wild
gods back, yet the spirit of Aessina remained silent. With her help, we could turn the tide of this
attack and undo the damage the Twilight’s hammer has caused so we’re send
out to find Nordu who might be able to help us. Nordu is one of the oldest trees, he might
know how to awaken the spirit, yet Nordu is already burning. His life is forfeit, but he is able to give us a
glimmering seed called the Heart of the Forest, the seed of life. With this seed we're able to make contact with Aessina, to which
she helps us out. She restores some of the land and she puts out the raging inferno. So
the question remains, is this wisp mother responsible for the wisps? Are they wild gods, are they demi-gods
or are they spirits of deceased night elves? I think it’s left for personal interpetation,
but perhaps the mother wisp performs the same roll as someone like Aviana. Aviana had a
place for birdlike creatures when they passed away in which they could spend their after
life. Perhaps Aessina does the same, only she does it for some of the night elves, they
become wisps and they sometimes return to help out their kin. Like I said, I couldn't find a
clear answer for the wisps, their origin story, however this is all I have for you today. As always
