Hello everyone!
The Burning Legion has invaded azeroth once again and druids are able to pick up 4 different
artifacts to empower them in this war.
G'Hanir, the Mother Tree is said to aid its wielder in achieving perfect harmony with
nature, allowing them to tap into deeply powerful restorative spells, perfect for restoration
druids.
Keeper Remulos informs us that we’re lucky we G’Hanir this day since the dryad Mylune
has just arived fro mthe sacred shrine where the staff has been guarded for many centuries.
Few have the privelage of knowing the hidden location within the roots of Shaladrassil
where G’Hanir is kept, but we’ve certainly earned that right so we’re told to go and
talk with Mylune.
“Oh, raspberries!
I don’t know what to do!”
Mylune is litteraly crying since G”Hanir is corrupted.
The nightmare has risen from the depths of the dream.
It all happened so fast...but she was able to take the staff and bring it back to the
grove before it was completely taken by the nightmare.
It rests within the emerald dream now, but she fears that we don’t have much time so
we’re told to pick up some water from the sacred moonwell and ask leafbeard for his
blessing.
“We can do this.
G’Hanir is counting on us!”
Within Tel’Andu Barrow Den, naralex guides us into the dream.
Now just relax and focus your mind on the Dream.
I will guide your spirit from here.”
“Can you hear me?
G’Hanir rests at the Circle of Spirits above, but it oozees Nightmare into the barrow den.
You must hurry before you succumb to the corruption.”
The nightmare is actually spreading from G’Hanir so we must hurry and find it while using our
restoration spells to cleanse ourselves from the nightmares corruption.
A long the way we find Bshana Runetotem, daughter of Hamuul runetotem who’s in a bit of trouble.
Bashana Runetotem: Someone...anyone!
I can’t escape these roots.
Use natures cure to cleanse roots “ I thought I was done for!”
“I’d prefer to avoid these horrors.
Let’s sneak past them.”
Sneak past nightmare creatures.
“The path is blocked!
I think I can clear it out.
That did it!
You go on ahead.
I’ll deal with things down here.”
Lyessa Bloomwatcher: “Please help!
I can’t hold the corruption back much longer.
I would have surely been overwhelmed if you had not arrived.
Thank you.
Let us reconvene in the physical world.”
We’ve obtained G’Hanir, but the weapon is still corrupted so something has to be
done.
Lyessa believes that since the world Nordrassil was grown out of an acron of G’Hanir, we
can use the sacred waters surrounding its roots to purify the corruption.
“Hamuul Runetotem led a small party to investigate Legion activity near Nordrassil not long ago.
He may be able to aid you.”
Once G”Hanir is pure again, we can help Archdruid Greathelm cleanse any remaining
Nightmare at the Dreamgrove.
I only hope we are not too late to save G’Hanir.”
“Such devestation” Skylor Omnuron flies in “Thank the Ancients
you’ve come.
“The gates of hell poured forth upon us.
They were everywhere...
Tend to the others first.
Their wounds are more dire than my own.
Skyhlord, you must inform the Dreamgrove.
We will ensure no further life is lost this day.
Nobs, you must save our injured.
I will prepare the cleansing ritual.”
The Legion remembers getting their asses kicked at the top of mount hiyal during Warcraft
3 and our forces here have felt it.
We free Zen’tabra from her bubble and heal both Hamuul Runetotem and Celastine of the
Harvest.
“The well was nearly lost during the assault.
But so long a single drop remains, there is hope!
I am ready to begin the ritual.”
“I will prepare the well’s waters for the cleansing.
You must protect me until the ritual is complete or G’Hanir will be lost!
Something aint right.
Da spirits be crying out.
The gateway is activating!
Enter legion pitlord, this time it’s ...it’s....
Destromath.
“Tremble before me!
I bring darkness to this world.
“If you keep us alive, we will buy you the time you need.”
“For G’Hanir!”
We must keep the party alive and since I’m amazing at healing, let’s talk a little
bit about the history of G’Hanir?
Some of the chapters on WoWpedia when it comes to the artifact seem to be missing, but this
is what I could find:
When the titans and their creations were done fighting the war against the old gods and
their black empire, Azeroth itself was corrupted and without help, nature wouldn’t stand
a chance.
The titans knew this so one of their final acts was to give the keepers the knowledge
and power to reverse this unspeakable destruction.
In time, nature would rise, life would flourish.
Generations of plants and animals would grow and change.
This miraculous recovery did not come from any one place, but at the beginning there
was a source of healing and balanace.
A place where all life could rest and revive.
It was called G’Hanir, the Mother tree.
Keeper Freya was charged by the titans to guide the seeding of Azeroth's nature life.
To aid in this task, she shaped a mystical realm that would become known as the Emerald
Dream.
Here they say she shaped the realm which still doesn’t give clarity as to weather or not
she created the realm.
It could be that the realm already excisted and she used her powers to mold and shape
it.
She wanted it to be an unspoiled vision of nature, undisturbed by the forces of evil
or external civilizations.
She began by creating a single, massive tree, set atop a high peak within the Dream.
From it bloomed many different fruits and flowers, and new life flowed outward in waves,
sweeping across the land.
Freya sculpted pools of life in other locations within the Emerald Dream, but this tree was
the first, the tallest, and the most radiant.
For millennia, it served as a source of healing and balance that extended beyond the Dream
and into the physical world.
As life flourished on Azeroth, generations of animals came and went.
Soon the Emerald Dream was filled with the spirits of countless beasts.
That first tree that Freya had created, G'Hanir, became a haven for winged creatures.
Many powerful spirits were drawn to G'Hanir.
Some wanted to simply gaze upon it; others wanted to sit at its base and bask in its
shade for a while.
One never left.
A Wild God named Aviana made the Mother Tree her home for as long as she lived.She had
grown utterly enchanted with G'Hanir.
It was more than a tree; it was a source of life, healing, and peace.
Aviana spent years melding her power into the tree, and soon all living winged creatures
on Azeroth dreamed of spending the afterlife flying through its branches.
Aviana's spirit became intertwined with the Mother Tree.
In time, this would have lasting consequencess Now we were aware of the mother tree before
since it was part of the War of the Ancients trilogy.
In that story we read about the red dragon Krasus also known as Korialstraz and Malfurion
finding their way to Aviana’s domain.
Krasus describes it as the place of all winged creatures, seperate from but a part of the
mortal world in a manner akin to the Emerald Dream.
G’hanir is the tallest tree atop the tallest peak.
The fruit it bears carries the seeds of all earthly tree and Aviana made her home here.
She was very kind of the dragon and the druid, she even gave them one of her feathers so
they could get back down, a similar feather that those of you who played during Warlords
of Draenor might remember using.
During the war of the ancients, the demi gods also joined the battle and many of them lost
their lives and returned to the emerald dream.
Aviana was no different, she was knocked from the sky and Rhonin witnessed her lifeless
body fall when a large group of demons attacked her.
The doomguard surrounded her and pierced her body with their spears.
When Aviana was killed, her realm tree G'Hanir died.
The shock of Aviana's death reverberated through the Emerald Dream, and all the leaves of G'Hanir
fell from their branches.
Many mourned it, and some succumbed to the temptation of serving dark forces in Aviana's
absence.
But although she had died, her spirit lingered.
As the night elves struggled to rebuild their society in the wake of the Great Sundering,
the green dragonflight discovered a gift: A single branch from the Mother Tree, with
a single acorn hanging from its leaves, had been left in their care.
Alexstrasza of the red dragonflight used the acorn to grow Nordrassil, the World Tree over
the new well of eternity created by Illidan to contain its powers and prevent it from
growing.
Malfurion sensed that it had been Aviana's spirit that had given the branch to them,
and he believed it was best to keep it hidden.
Many of Aviana's children had been lost to chaos, and they might be driven to claim the
remnant of Aviana's legacy for their new masters.
Quietly, Malfurion moved the branch to a safe location within the Emerald Dream.
Few knew of its location, but its influence was felt far and wide.
For many millennia, the branch served as a stabilizing force for the Emerald Dream, and
the land near it was said to be a place of great healing and peace.
Being a wild god with her spirit connected to the emerald dream, Aviana didn’t truly
die and we brought her back to Azeroth to the cataclysm to help us defend mount hiyal
and defeat the forces of Ragnaros the Firelord.
Here she is again as we battle with the pitlord and cleanse the branch from the mother tree
of its corruption.
“Quickly, hero!
Our work is nearly complete.
You must give me the staff!”
“Spirits of the frest!
Guardians of nature!
Hear our plea!”
“On this day, the mother tree is reborn!
G’Hanir is whole once more!”
Call of the mother tree, wamp waaaaamp.
Spirits fly in.
Little wisps detonating holy shit didn’t even realise that.
Nice touch.
He’s held in the air
A very nice call back to warcraft 3 takes place.
Back then Malfurion called upon the spirits of the forest to aid us with defeating Archimonde
and now we do the same as we battle with Destromath Waaaaaaaamp again
“I will destroy you” Wisps attack once more, KABOEM
“YOUR WORD WILL....BURN...”
“It is done!
Let us all return to the Dreamgrove and tell the others of our triumph.”
“We must stay behind for a time to aid Skylord Omnuron’s forces.
Thank you.
Without you, we would have surely fallen.”
“Were it not for this heroes actions, we would have all perished atop mount Hiyal.
Both G’hanir and Nordrassil would have been destroyed by the legion”
We all owe you a great deal.
“For centuries I have watched over G’Hanir.
Today it nearly fell to the corruption I swore to fight.
It is time for another to take my place.
Therefore, I hereby pass along my station to Nobs.
A true protector of life... a true guardian of the Dream!
Thank you again, shan’do.
I will remain here in the Dreamgrove if you ever have need of my guidance.”
And so Restoration druids wield the restored branch of G’Hanir, the mother tree, wield
it in the war against the Legion as they adventure through the broken isles.
However, those are a story for another day so for now thank you very much for watching
everyone.
