Eonar the Titan blessed Alexstrasza's younger sister, the lithe green dragon Ysera, with a portion of nature's influence. Ysera fell into an eternal trance, bound to the waking Dream of Creation. Known as the Dreamer, she would watch over the growing wilds of the world from her verdant realm, the Emerald Dream.

Ysera was one of the Dragon Aspects that gave some of her power to the Demon Soul, not knowing Deathwing would betray the Aspects.

After the War of the Ancients, Alexstrasza planted a magical acorn from the Mother Tree G'Hanir within the second Well of Eternity, created by Illidan. The Tree grew large till it reached the heavens and was crowned Nordrassil. Ysera enchanted the tree so that it is bound to the Emerald Dream.

Ysera is green, and her skin glitters with countless emeralds for scales. Her physical form is ghostly, ethereal, like watching a living dream or vision. The Emerald Dream is a place where all living beings dream when sleeping. It is a place of where sentient beings have dreams of hope, and faith for a better tomorrow. From the Emerald Dream, Ysera can observe all lesser races. Her eyes are always closed, although you can see her pupils move constantly below her eyelids as if watching many dreams at once.

Few times Ysera has opened her eyes. When she does, you can see eyes of many colors, like a rainbow. The eyes of every sentient creature can be seen at once through her eyes. Ysera opened her eyes during the War of the Ancients after seeing her friend Malorne dead. She opened them another time during the Second War, before Krasus, when he tried to convince her to help free Alexstrasza. Ysera fought alongside the other Dragon Aspects against the evil of Deathwing while Rhonin destroyed the Demon Soul. She regained her full powers once the Demon Soul was destroyed.

Ysera can assume the form of a female from any race, which she chooses depending on whom she is talking to. Always she wears a dress of emerald green, emerald jewelry, and has emerald-green hair.

Ysera avoids and dislikes combat, especially in her realm. When angered, she is terrible, paranoid and impulsive. She keeps herself isolated in the Eye of Ysera within the Emerald Dream, and is rarely seen in the Real world. When she does visit the Living plane, she shapeshifts into a humanoid form, covered by a green hood, and her eyes are always closed.

When in combat, she attacks with her greenish breath to sleep her opponents, and rarely strikes to kill. She prefers to neutralize her enemies and banish them away from her realm.

Ysera can travel from mind to mind to travel anywhere she wishes by entering the dreams of any living being sleeping. She may enter the dreams of a target to communicate with or warn the sleeping creature. Ysera has the ability to planeshift between the real world and the Emerald Dream.


Ysera was revealed to be the "adopted" mother of Cenarius, and lover of Malorne. This had now been retconned; Ysera taught Cenarius the secrets of the Emerald Dream, forming a close bond with him, but was never involved with Malorne. Many fans theorize that Elune and Ysera are the same being, since they are shown as entities that care for the lesser races with compassion. However, writer Richard A. Knaak has confirmed that they are NOT the same.

In recent times, Ysera's most trusted lieutenants, Lethon, Emeriss, Taerar and Ysondre have been warped by a dark new power within the Emerald Dream. Now these wayward sentinels have passed through the Great Trees into Azeroth, intending to spread madness and terror throughout the mortal kingdoms. Even the mightiest of adventurers would be well advised to give the dragons a wide berth, or suffer the consequences of their misguided wrath.


Powers & Abilities

Ysera is the green dragon aspect, and like the other she is several times the size of a normal Dragon. She can also breath fire and fly as can the other Aspects.

Ysera is the Guardian of Nature, and as such, has control over it.

She also created the Emerald Dream, a realm that exists as Azeroth as if no intellegent being had ever existed in it.

Nozdormu
Since many consider Ysera the weakest of the Aspects, and even though this might be the case (Not saying it is, or isnt), I thought I'd add some of the powers she has, so that people do not missunderstand her for weak, just because people consider her weakest of the Aspects:

- Ysera has the power to turn intangible instantly
- Ysera has the power to mind control her target
- Ysera has the power to control the body of her target
- Ysera has the power to preforme high quality druid abilities
- Ysera has the power to create daydreams
- Ysera has the power to control the dreams of others
- Ysera has the power to put a target to sleep
- Ysera has the power to read the minds of others and take information
- Ysera has the power to through dreams create both physical and mental damage
- Ysera has the power to bring out the worst nightmare of someone and make it, to them, reality
- Ysera has the power to, unlike most druidism entities, enter the Emerald Dream physically
- Ysera has the power to fly at astunishing speed
- Ysera has the power to telepathicly contact an entity across the planet

All of this and much more based on a thought alone. Not a gesture. Not a channeling activity. Not a word. By thought alone. In fact, it was even implicated in WotA that Ysera could control demons by merely being present as she controled an entire army when she flew over it while at the same time preforming other activities. So it is definate that she can control probably hundreds (Eredar and Dreadlords included) of demons with not even the slightest effort. Later on when she became furious, it was indicated that what she had preformed against the demon army by herself was merely a pinch of her true power.
