So when I took the Emerald Dreamway portal to Hinterlands the other day, I noticed something interesting…
Seradane, the place the portal comes out at in the Hinterlands, seems to be a bit different from the other Emerald Dream Portals that have been around since Vanilla. Unlike the Duskwood portal for instance (which only has the portal, a moonwell, and some unique foliage), the portal at Seradane seems to be surrounded by the ruins of a whole town or city. Is there any lore on Seradane, other than that it has the portal?

There doesn’t seem to be much lore about it, just wowpedia saying that druids under Staghelm planted the tree. On a related note, notice that the tree in Feralas is also surrounded by the ruins of another kaldorei settlement.
It’s certainly possible that prior to these trees’ poisoning by Yogg-Saron, there were small towns surrounding them. Other than such an assumption, there’s no lore of substance about each zone.
There may have been a small settlement there to watch over the tree for a period of time. But there really isn’t any information on any of the dream portal sites.
I don’t think there is anything official, but if I where to speculate it is probably a old pre war of the ancients city that Staghelm used as a place to grow the tree. Some other possibilities could be that it was a city set up to watch/ guard the portal and was later abandoned. It also could be a abandoned high elven setlement I think some old maps show quel’thalas stretching down to the hinterlands.
