The Emerald Dream, the druids' spirit world, is being swallowed by the Emerald Nightmare, and people across Azeroth fall into a sleep they don't wake from. Tyrande Whisperwind sets out to find Malfurion Stormrage, whose spirit has been lost in the Dream for years, with the druid Broll Bearmantle and the tauren Hamuul Runetotem fighting the Nightmare at home.
What this adds if you've played the games
It covers what Malfurion was doing between the original game and Cataclysm, and it's the fullest backstory for the Emerald Nightmare, which Legion turned into a raid. Night elf and druid politics get plenty of room. It's long and the dream battles get repetitive, so it's one for druids and night elf players more than anyone else.
