The Sisters' Tear
- For the titan artifact, see Tears of Elune. For information about the seed and the World Tree, see Amirdrassil.
The Sisters' Tear is an artifact that looks similar in appearance to the Tears of Elune, formed by the Winter Queen and Elune from a lone tear shed by the latter while possessing Tyrande Whisperwind.[1]
The Winter Queen explained that this artifact was meant to serve as a "vessel of renewal", and that she had offered the many night elf souls who died during the Burning of Teldrassil and had been saved from the Maw the chance to stay in Ardenweald, but that they had all chosen to become part of a "new beginning" for their people instead. The souls were infused into the tear, and it was transformed into a "seed", one touched by both Ardenweald and the Emerald Dream and embodying the balance of Death and Life. The Winter Queen gifted the seed to Tyrande and hoped that it would bring the night elves happiness and peace.[2]
Tyrande brought the seed to Merithra, who took her through the Ancient Bough so that she could plant it within the Emerald Dream for safety.[3] There, it grew into a giant World Tree called Amirdrassil.

Notes
- After Elune left her body, Tyrande stated that her literal tear "was mine as much as hers".[1]
- In cinematics such as "By Our Hand" and "A Gift of Hope", the Sisters' Tear uses a unique model encased in leaves and a wooden frame. In-game, however, it uses the same metal-clad model as the Tears of Elune.
