The tree, which is called \u201cAmirdrassil,\u201d was mentioned by Alexstrasza in the final cutscene for the new Dawn of the Infinite dungeon, and players across the community have already begun to investigate what the future could hold for the tree.\u00a0 Although Alexstrasza\u2019s mention of Amirdrassil in Patch 10.1.5 marked the first time that players heard the tree called by its name, it\u2019s not the first time it\u2019s been referenced. Players who are caught up with all chapters of the Dragonflight campaign should recognize Amirdrassil as the World Tree that was planted by Tyrande Whisperwind in the Ohn\u2019ahran Plains\u2019 Ancient Bough earlier in the expansion.\u00a0 Here\u2019s everything we know about Amirdrassil, as well as when we think the World Tree will have its time in the spotlight in-game.\u00a0 What\u2019s so special about Amirdrassil?\u00a0 Amirdrassil\u2019s seed was brought to life by some of the most powerful beings from across the lore of World of Warcraft. The tree was crafted in conjunction with the powers of the Winter Queen of the Night Fae, as well as the moon goddess Elune, and eventually planted by Tyrande Whisperwind, the leader of the Night Elves. The seed, which was infused with the souls of the deceased elves who perished in the burning of another World Tree\u2014Teldrassil\u2014was referred to as a \u201csymbol of hope\u201d by Alexstrasza when it first came to light in Patch 10.0. Related: Best trinkets from the Dawn of the Infinite megadungeon in WoW Dragonflight Currently, Amirdrassil is growing inside the Emerald Dream, meaning it does not yet have a material model on Azeroth. It\u2019s expected that when the World Tree comes forth from the spiritual realm of the Emerald Dream, it will do so by entering through the portal in the Ancient Bough that\u2019s guarded by Ysera at coordinates [19, 51] in the Ohn\u2019ahran Plains.\u00a0 When will Amirdrassil have an impact on WoW Dragonflight\u2019s story? The concluding cinematic for Dawn of the Infinite implies that the defense of Amirdrassil is imminent, and players should prepare for whatever onslaught Fyrakk is planning. Since the launch of Patch 10.1 in May 2023, the Primal Incarnate has been assaulting the Dragon Isles as a whole, with the Ohn\u2019ahran Plains being a major location for his reign of terror. Since Fyrakk wasn\u2019t dispatched in July's Patch 10.1.5, it\u2019s likely that he\u2019ll be a major villain in Patch 10.2 and perhaps even beyond.\u00a0 In the same cinematic, Nozdormu, the Bronze Dragon Aspect, has a vision of \u201cburning embers,\u201d which is interrupted by Alexstrasza and Chromie, who claim that Merithra, the Green Dragon Aspect, must be warned before any damage comes to the new World Tree. It\u2019s extremely likely that defending the tree from Fyrakk and the other Incarnates will be a major plot point in a future patch.\u00a0","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/18084454\/Dot-Esports-Image-19.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/907556"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1865"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=907556"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/907556\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":907579,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/907556\/revisions\/907579"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/760924"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=907556"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=907556"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=907556"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=907556"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=907556"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=907556"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=907556"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
