Chapter 609 Emerald Dream
If Lordaeron, before it was destroyed by the Scourge, was once a paradise in the North, with its flower-filled lakes, windmills, pastures, manors, and towering trees...
So, the homeland of humans and dwarves, once the primitive trolls were driven out, transformed into a paradise. The Alterac Mountains, a colorful wonderland with towering peaks and flowing streams, resembled the Alps and were home to hundreds of thousands of humans...
The Eastern Kingdom has recovered its vitality 100,000 years after that cataclysmic explosion.
Holy light nourished the mortal realm...
Humans gradually became the dominant race in Azeroth, and the only powerful, united, rapidly developing, and innovative intelligent race.
Deep within the forest lies a mysterious and noble elven kingdom, where dwarves roam the mountains. Humans can obtain minerals and gems from dwarves and gnomes, and exchange them for food and fruit. Ships at sea bring specialties from distant continents.
Magic and technology flourish together...
The Dream Kingdom is the beautiful home in the hearts of every human resident of Azeroth.
Before the Dark Portal opened, the people of Dreamhome in the Eastern Kingdoms seemed to live carefree lives, with distinct seasons, peace and tranquility... seemingly undisturbed by the world, living a paradise-like existence.
Such days were not a dreamlike scene in Azeroth. In the prosperous and peaceful era of the Seven Kingdoms, although there was oppression and exploitation by nobles, farmers could at least live a relatively stable life through farming and hunting... as long as they paid their rent and taxes to the lords on time.
The nobility indulged in nightly revelry, yearning for an everlasting dynasty...
The prosperity and civilization of the Seven Kingdoms led them to pursue the limits of magic and knowledge... Humanity craved power, wealth, and more. They sought to explore the origins of life, break the limits of lifespan, attempt to cure diseases, invent more powerful weapons and tools, and explore unknown territories.
......
On the other side of the endless sea where the Eye of Eternity is located, on the continent of Kalimdor, the so-called land of starlight, which is the main plate where the Well of Eternity was located, the scene seems to be quite different.
The World Tree has fallen...
The World Tree has fallen many times. The Night Elves have planted more than one World Tree. The current Teldrassil is one of the new branches of the World Tree that was replanted after the first World Tree on Mount Hyjal, which was blessed by the Red Dragon Queen, fell.
It is known that at least five World Trees have survived after being replanted from branches of the World Tree on Mount Hyjal... Teldrassil is considered a newly sprouted sapling, although it looks like a tree stump.
New World Trees are supposedly growing in Northrend, the Broken Isles, and some other random places. Who the hell knows? Anyway, you can just plant any new World Tree sprout here...
At the summit of Mount Hyjal, the World Tree, which conceals the second Well of Eternity, is not the first World Tree, but it is the first Guardian Tree blessed by the Lifebinder Red Dragon Queen, and it once granted the entire Night Elf race near-infinite lifespan.
When it fell, the destruction of the second Well of Eternity not only took Archimonde's life, but also deprived the entire Night Elf of their blessing.
This effectively demoted them from the children of demigods to a mortal race...
The seeds of the World Tree originated from the Emerald Dream...
The Emerald Dream is an experimental field for life souls created by the Titan Freya, and is guarded by the Green Dragon Queen Ysera, sister of the Red Dragon Queen...
No, it's a miracle similar to the Ruby Temple, a pantheon established by the Titan Ionar, a female Titan, and guarded by the Titan guardian Freya and the blessed red dragon race, the guardian dragons of life, who are said to be living beings in a slumbering state.
Freya, the Titan of Life Guardian of Azeroth, only inherited a portion of the power of life creation. She is responsible for observing and guiding the evolution of living plants, while also maintaining the so-called natural balance.
It is known that Ulduar and Un'Goro Craters, as well as the Sholazar Basin, were once testing grounds for life, and the mysterious Emerald Dream is more like a resting place for the lower life forms in their cycle of reincarnation. The truth about the soul has remained unknown.
To become an immortal being like a Titan, with an eternal soul and the blessing of the Time Guardians granting them agelessness and immortality, red, yellow, and green dragons can be considered to be of the same lineage...
......
The Emerald Dream is considered a mirror image of the real world of Azeroth, a hidden Azeroth. But in reality, the Emerald Dream is more like a place where the fifth element... a resting place for souls, a place of slumber.
In the Life School's research on creation and cyclical experiments, the Emerald Dream is like a backup of the world, profoundly influencing reality.
When the spiritual and material worlds reach a balance, all things can truly cycle normally according to the Titan's ideas and path... However, there is no such thing as a perfect solution or a solution that will never go wrong.
Even the best programming or design will always have flaws and unexpected issues.
After the explosion of the Well of Eternity, the original continent of Azeroth was torn apart, disrupting the Titans' original plans and arrangements.
The world-soul of Azeroth has never awakened.
Ai-chan's wounds not only didn't heal, but continued to tear open...
The maturation of a star soul may take an even longer time, often hundreds of millions of years or more. Tiny life forms might not live to see that day. However, the collapse of the continent and the alteration of the environment are fatal, as environmental changes severely impact the evolutionary process of life...
Species change and evolve as a result, and there are many evidences to support this.
Many glorious races vanished without a trace as the world crumbled...
The wounds that Kalimdor suffered tens of thousands of years ago have yet to heal. This is not only due to demonic corruption, the explosion of the Well of Eternity, and the struggle between the night elves and the corrupted satyr faction.
Many more problems may have originated from the earlier Old Gods and Titan Guardians; the Emerald Dream was merely one link in a chain of problems that had been foreshadowed long ago.
The elemental lords' wrath manifests in the turmoil of the earth, mountains, seas, and storms. The Tauren's constant reference to Mother Earth—does it refer to the star soul of Azeroth itself, or the restlessness of the earth's elements? No one can say for sure...
One thing Lorraine was 100% certain of...
Life struggles to survive on the continent of Kalimdor. Even without the arrival of the orcs, it's a melting pot of all sorts of people... The night elves occupy the forests under the guise of non-interference with nature... It's uncertain whether other smaller races and tribes, if they don't join the Horde, can survive the chaos, war, famine, and disease...
Joining a tribe is the same as joining a war.
This is a difficult choice...
Some less intelligent and more primitive races will inevitably be eliminated sooner or later...
Refugees from the Eastern Kingdoms appeared on the edge of the primeval plains, the humans of Theramore multiplied, and the Kul Tirans established and expanded their strongholds.
More wanderers from Outland have arrived in Orgrimmar, and the orcs are now even more eager for battle and more bloodthirsty...
The northern part of the Eastern Kingdoms has been tainted by the undead plague; the white Lordaeron has turned gray... black represents death... Undercity, the ruins of the Banshee Queen, is a great tomb.
In the central Kalimdor region near Orgrimmar, the world's primary colors are yellow and red...
Yellow sand and blood (＾－＾)V...
It's not just the yellowish-brown weathered stones of the Gobi Desert; the grasslands are also plagued by depleted water sources, hot climates, and wild animals, making for harsh living conditions.
For the orcs struggling to survive on Hellfire Peninsula, the vast land of the Barrens was actually a virgin territory that others looked down upon, but Warchief Thrall and his companions believed they could temporarily settle down in.
The orcs have found rare allies among the tauren, and have established themselves in the Barrens and Durotar Peninsula.
Thrall's Horde did not declare war on other races outright; they were merely following the Warchief's orders to defend the territories they had already occupied and to settle the orcish people as much as possible. The Warchief's goodwill seemed to be met with indifference from the quilboars, centaurs, and harpies.
These guys frequently harass and launch sneak attacks, not to mention the night elf scouts, dwarven excavation teams, and human pirates on the beach...
Local wild animals pose a significant threat to the lives of the orcs; venomous scorpions bite, food and clothing are scarce, and accidents are frequent...
In Lorraine, Lilith frequently recounted stories of ordinary orc children disappearing, mostly killed by crocodiles in the Ragewater River or by elusive scorpions...
If you continue to play and run around on the barren grasslands, the chances of encountering lions, wild horses, jackals, or aggressive chocobos are not small. I've heard that some tribes even use animals as totems and practice primitive animal worship... Tribes cannot easily kill wild beasts that attack them, because they are the incarnations of the gods they believe in.
Trolls are a prime example; many of their tribes couldn't unite because they worshipped different Loa gods...
The Loa, the demigods of the wilderness, and the Celestials are all essentially powerful life forms. Among these primordial beasts are dinosaurs like the Tyrannosaurus Rex, as well as lizards, flying serpents, bison, and more...
Tiger leopard snakes are even more common, while dragon eagles and spiders are even more bizarre creatures...
Fortunately, the Darkspear trolls who joined the tribe didn't seem to have many evil and bloody beliefs; they retained many traditions of witchcraft and hunting raptors... The Shadow Hunter, the leader of the Darkspear trolls, held a unique position, ambiguous between good and evil...
Come to think of it, the only troll Lorraine knew was the hunter Big Tooth, whom she rescued at Shadowfang Keep...
There's a troll village ahead...
They were unwilling to join the tribe. Judging from Stormbrew & Chen's words, Lorraine knew that the troll village Chen mentioned was definitely not to be trifled with...
Otherwise, Old Chen wouldn't have emphasized separately that the Darkspear trolls of the Troll Village and Sen'jin Village are not of the same kind and do not belong to the Horde, nor would he have mentioned three unheard-of places: [Troll Village], [Underground City], and [Mist Peak]...
