Warcraft Lore Facts - The Green Dragonflight

They sleep a lot.
Transcript:
#1:
Ysera, the green dragon aspect, is infamous for her habit of almost always keeping her eyes closed while she is present on Azeroth. Her eyes have been described as having many colours, similar to a rainbow, and that the eyes of every sentient creature can be seen within. She only opened them during exceptional events, though Ysera opening her eyes could be considered an event of its own. Before Cataclysm, she was known to have done so at least four times: when the ancient Malorne was killed by Archimonde, when she addressed Malfurion Stormrage during the War of the Ancients on his druidic powers, when the red dragon Korialstrasz asked for her help in freeing Alexstrasza from the Dragonmaw orcs, and when the Aspects regained their power after the Dragon Soul was destroyed. After the Emerald Nightmare was defeated, though not permanently, shortly after the death of the Lich King, Ysera permanently opened her eyes and renounced her title of "the Dreamer", becoming known as "the Awakened". Though very much sane, she has been described as not entirely coherent, and not entirely able to tell the difference between the Emerald Dream and reality.
#2:
Ysera shares a special relationship with Elune, the demigod Malorne and their son Cenarius, though the exact details are not entirely clear and are shrouded in myth. Ysera was, most likely, the adoptive mother of Cenarius, and the one who raised him and taught him how to connect with the Emerald Dream, though some myths claim, most likely mistakenly, that Ysera is also the biological mother of Cenarius. Nonetheless, the green dragon also shared a bond with Cenarius's father, Malorne, as she was devastated when he was slain during the War of the Ancients, and with Elune herself, as seen with the events of Ysera's death. Incidentally, Ysera also shares a bond with other Wild Gods. Most notably, she considers Aesinna to be her everlasting companion.
#3:
One of Ysera's broods became closely allied with the night elves of Loreth'Aran, to the point where the Aspect allowed the elves to ride her children into battle. Deathwing, the traitorous black dragon aspect, however, then ordered one of his lieutenants, Razormaw, to lead a force and eradicate the settlement. The resulting battle was a massacre, with all of the greens and elves being slaughtered, while many of the blacks fell as well. The spirits of the fallen, most notably of Razormaw himself, then went on to litter the ruins, now located just east of Bloodmyst Isle.
#4:
The second-most powerful member of the Green dragonflight was stated to be Eranikus, Ysera's consort. He was sent, along with several other greens, to guard the Temple of Atal'hakkar in the Swamp of Sorrows. The temple had been occupied by troll worshippers of Hakkar the Soulflayer, which drew the attention of Ysera, who blasted and sunk the structure. There, Eranikus defeated the physical manifestation of Hakkar on Azeroth and went on to guard the temple, unknowingly becoming corrupted over time as part of the Emerald Nightmare, most likely, again, due to Hakkar himself. Later on, the corrupted Eranikus was drawn to Moonglade through the efforts of Keeper Remulos and of adventurers, as part of their quest to open the gates of Ahn'Qiraj, as the dragon held one piece of the Scepter of the Shifting Sands necessary to do so. He was then cleansed in a large battle thanks to the efforts of Tyrande Whisperwind and the Sisterhood of Elune. Now free, Eranikus sought to isolate himself, fearing the corruption of the Nightmare and the damage he might cause to the other green dragons. Eventually, however, he was persuaded to help in the battle against the Nightmare after the Lich King's defeat when he heard that his beloved Ysera had been captured. Eranikus then sacrificed himself in fighting the corrupted dragon Lethon during the attempt to free the Aspect.
#5:
At some point in time, an unknown fey creature kidnapped a pregnant human woman and took her to the Emerald Dream for an unknown purpose. Eranikus came to save the woman and her child, but the mother died while giving birth. The newborn received the energy to live from the green dragon and was then given to the red dragon Korialstrasz in order to find him a foster family. The child, named Lucan Foxblood, eventually became one of Stormwind's cartographers. Due to his birth, he possessed the unusual ability to travel randomly between the Dream and Azeroth, usually appearing near Eranikus himself while doing so due to their connection. Lucan was instrumental in helping defeat the Emerald Nightmare after the fall of the Lich King and, after the war, was taken in as one of Hamuul Runetotem's students, and was also promoted to chief cartographer by King Varian Wrynn.

I just imagine Ysera bumping into A lot of trees XD

[@DemonMaluMintus]

We need one about blues!...If there is poke me X'D i havent found any yet.

[@Teeironor]

I've done ones for all the 5 big dragonflights.

[@voiavictor]

Can we, at some point in future, get a short video or something about Hamul Runetotem?

[@Teeironor]

I don't really do videos on individual characters (unless it's our lord and savior, Brann Bronzebeard, or I had something to say, such as on Sylvanas). We'll see though.

[@Shovelchicken]

Wait, so human druids are canon?

[@Teeironor]

Well, we never hear from that guy again, so your call. Although, the Gilnean harvest witches are, technically, a primitive form of druidism practiced by humans.

[@justnoob8141]

Well, worgen is human so yes, human druid did exist

[@creakychair9387]

Can you make a lore video about the Fel horde becuse there is not any real video about them.

[@Teeironor]

A Lore Facts, you mean? I don't really know what I could say about them that I haven't already covered in separate videos (Illidan's Forces, the Shattered Hand clan, the Bleeding Hollow clan, and so on). There's not really that much lore to the Fel Horde as a whole (on the other hand, if we're talking individual clans or the Fel Horde as part of a larger force (Illidari or Burning Legion) there is a bit). We'll see.

[@creakychair9387]

indeed it makes me kinda sad the make a lot of lore for factions like The horde but not for the dark horde fel horde and THE TRUE HORDE. ( i am all about the hordes)

[@mieciok666]

It's sad Fel Horde is kinda forggoten :(

[@creakychair9387]

i agree it is sad they are cool :(
