To help the Night Elves defend their new home? I mean, Rokhan did, but he’s not a Druid and has never been seen interacting with Gonk.
Just like Lilian and every (???) Horde Racial Leader is?
Yes.
My wayward son,
The Darkspear worship the Loa of Death they are not welcome in the realm of Life. the Zandalari queen is bound to that same Loa of Death.

Then why is there a sleeping darkspear druid in the dream?
:smug:
Most of them, yeah. Thrall, Baine, Rokhan, Lillian Voss, Lor’themar, Thalyssra, and Mayla. The ones that didn’t show up were: Gazlowe, Geya’rah, Talanji, Kiro, and Ji Firepaw - though Chen Stormstout did show up with the other founders of Orgrimmar.

I think the only reason Thrall showed up was because he promised Tyrande in Shadows Rising at their meeting at Hyjal he would redeem the Horde by helping the Night Elves. He kept his promise.
He also kept his distance, as requested by Tyrande herself.

Tyrande and Thrall did make up in the Stay a While and Listen at the celebration party, too.

Didn’t he promise her Sylvanas’ head?

Tyrande gave him an ultimatum and he was like, yeah sure okay. if I find her. Then Shadowlands happened.
To be fair, he tried to get it at the Sanctum of Domination. And technically Tyrande did get Sylvanas’ head in the end. It just came with the rest of Sylvanas’ body that Tyrande got to pass judgement on.

Haven’t heard of this. What did they actually say?
I find it hard to believe this is something you can just “make up” over.
I dunno, that wouldn’t be at all surprising to me. Tyrande’s aware Thrall hasn’t been a real part of the Horde since pre-Cata. It would be strange for her to hold a grudge against him for the actions of a group he’d long departed, especially when he only formally rejoined to stop the person responsible for the atrocity affecting Tyrande.
I’m not saying she wouldn’t be mad, especially in the immediate aftermath. But a few years later?

He made the group to begin with, though. That’s what gets me.
They reminisce over how they once saved one world tree together, and now a second.
Teldrassil’s ashes are firmly kept under the rug.
He did, and it became something else after he left. And when he heard about that, he came back to put a stop to that. He did that twice before he decided to return full-time, and he’s not absolving himself of the guilt for what it became in his abscence.
But beyond blaming him for leaving, Tyrande would have to be even more unreasonable than some fans like to make her seem to hold him anywhere responsible for what Sylvanas led the Horde into becoming.

My bad. It was a conversation between Jaina and Thrall. Tyrande wasn’t involved:
- Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: Well, old friend, it felt good to share a cause and fight side by side once more.
Thrall says: Yes, it did. Like on Mount Hyjal all those years ago.
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: But thank the Light, this world tree did not fall.
Thrall says: Jaina… When Amirdrassil took root on Azeroth, for a moment it was as if… like there was…
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: A voice? I heard it, too.
Thrall says: Good. I didn’t imagine it.
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: So beautiful. Like a song. It seemed to be calling out to me.
Thrall says: Could it be the voice of the World Tree?
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: I don’t think so, It sounded far more ancient. I’m not sure how I know that. It’s just a feeling.
Thrall says: If we both heard it… felt it… maybe others did, too.
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: Perhaps. But let’s leave that investigation for another day. Tonight, we celebrate our victory.
Thrall says: All of us. Together.
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: Together.
And a seperate conversation between Tyrande and Alexstrasza:
- Tyrande Whisperwind says: Do you ever think back to the time before the Sundering, Alexstrasza? When the world was whole.
Alexstrasza says: I remember a time, like now, when night elves and dragons lived and fought side by side.
Tyrande Whisperwind says: But we faltered from within. The world itself was rent asunder.
Alexstrasza says: And yet we endured.
Tyrande Whisperwind says: Through thousands of years and unspeakable tragedies.
Tyrande Whisperwind says: The Well Of Eternity, the Legion at Nordrassil…
Alexstrasza says: Deathwing.
Tyrande Whisperwind says: Yet this precious tree, Amirdrassil, has brought us together.
Tyrande Whisperwind says: And when I look upon the faces of those who have risen to its aid, both old and new…
Tyrande Whisperwind says: I see something returning that we had lost.
Alexstrasza says: Yes. Hope.
Tyrande Whisperwind says: Unity.
Tyrande Whisperwind says: Though there is much work to be done…
Tyrande Whisperwind says: I know we have the strength to face anything.
Tyrande Whisperwind says: If we face it together.

Amadis!!! You wonderful human thank you.
I like this return to hope storyline. I think that has always made me part of the minority. But it’s good.

It’s nice seeing some of the more notable NPCs being hopeful and that hope for a better future is the message again. The whole doom and gloom stuff from BfA and SL was super depressing

I’ve thought about this. The reason trolls are not represented in the Emerald Dream is the exact same reason Elune or Lun’ala is not present in Zandalar.
Zandalari culture called the Lun’alai “heretics” for worshiping Elune. Aztec mythology is the framework of Zandalari culture. In the Aztec myth, the Sun god killed the Moon Goddess. He decapitated her and threw her head into the sky to form the moon.
Her story is a metaphor for greater enlightenment. Look up the Coyolxauhqui Imperative. Its message fits with the new cosmological / philosophical story WoW is planning in the World Soul Saga.
