There is apparently an endgame-like portal cutscene where many notable characters appear.
“Many interesting pairings are seen such as Chromie and Eternus, Chen Stormstout/Rokhan/Rexxar, Turalyon and Velen, all remaining Dracthyr Scalecommanders, Wrathion and Sabellian, all the leaders of the Maruuk Centaur, Iskaara Tuskarr and the Loamm Niffen, among others.”
Sadly we only get one… now flip a coin…
Heads, Ysera…
Tails, Malfurion…
We will be using a coin provided by the very upstanding Harvey Dent. Mr Dent will be flipping and congratulations Ysera, Malfurion you can go back to napping.
We couldn’t find a place for Malfurion in the Emerald Dream patch, but obviously Turalyon should be here for it.
Also on a less sarcastic note, I believe that Prophet of the Flame you fight is an NPC who appeared in the Molten Front back in 4.2 - he would periodically show up on a ledge and transform into a Firelands boss, which I believe he does in the fight with him here.
“Khadgar, Kalecgos and the faction leaders are showcased here.”
I know they outright mentioned faction leaders like Rokhan, Turalyon, and Velen, but I can’t help but wonder if all of them actually make an appearance or just a group of them.
The Night Fae are present in the zone which means travel to and from Ardenweald to Amirdrassil is possible. There’s really no reason he shouldn’t be here.
Baine and Mayla seem a safe bet aince theyve been in the files for a while. We know Jaina and Thrall are there but wowhead doesnt list them, so odds are theres quite a few people coming.
Malfurion is bonded to Ardenweald on a scale that no other denizen of Ardenweald is. He and Ardenweald are one therefore he cannot leave it like the natives can.
Of course the Emerald Dream is the Blueprint of all Worlds and Nymue is dead so she can’t give orders to the Dream so all one has to do is order the Dream to grant unrestrained access to Ardenweald’s Blueprint from Amirdrassil.
