The Bloom Begins begins the "A Dream of Fields and Fire" chapter of the Guardians of the Dream campaign.
Objectives
Witness Amirdrassil begin to bloom.
- Speak to Merithra
Description
I sense a change on the wind. Like the dawning rays of the sun. Like petals before they unfurl. A great swelling energy, right at the heart of the Emerald Dream.
The Bloom. It has begun.
Rewards
You will receive:
- 2 80 90
- 1,200 XP
Progress
A bloom so beautiful, yet it brings such dread. Can we truly prevail?
Completion
Amirdrassil is now at its most vulnerable. Whether it shall bloom within Azeroth as a beacon of hope... Or if it shall become a harbinger of doom.
Its fate is ours to protect. And protect it we must.
Notes
On approach:
- Vyranoth says: Fyrakk still assaults the Wellspring Temple, but the barrier holds strong.
- Alexstrasza the Life-Binder says: As long as it remains intact, the World Tree is safe.
Speak with Merithra again:
I can feel the energy surging within Amirdrassil. It is almost... overwhelming.
(Play Movie) What can you tell me about the Bloom?
An in-engine cinematic plays:
- Emerald Dream, exterior, day. Alexstrasza, Merithra, Tyrande Whisperwind, Vyranoth, and the adventurer are under Amirdrassil at the Central Encampment looking at the moonwell.
- Merithra: The Bloom begins. Amirdrassil draws power from the Wellspring.
- The earth shakes, breaking Merithra out of her reverie.
- Merithra: It is weakening the barrier. Fyrakk will break through before the Bloom is complete.
- Tyrande Whisperwind: We have not the strength to face Fyrakk alone. And our allies are unable to enter the Dream. Something blocks their path.
- Alexstrasza the Life-Binder: We cannot wait for reinforcements. Fyrakk must be stopped. No matter the cost.
After the cutscene, the Blooming buff is given.
