The last four World of Warcraft expansions have either centred on or continued to expand the Night Elf narrative, and Dragonflight seems to hint to a huge development for their future home. The destruction of Tel’drassil forever altered the topography of Azeroth, as the Battle for Azeroth and the Fourth War displaced the Forsaken and Kaldorei due to Sylvanas Windrunner’s harsh acts. While the Forsaken have gradually reestablished some kind of normality under the leadership of Lillian Voss and the rest of the Desolate Council, the Night Elves have been stuck in limbo since that fatal incident.
When The Dragon Isles decided to exchange Malfurion Stormrage’s life in order to bring Ysera back from the Shadowlands, the Kaldorei narrative went in a path that not all World of Warcraft players were instantly pleased with. While the game’s narrative director suggested that this transaction was only temporary, many night elf fans were disappointed that Azeroth’s legendary druid was taken out of service at a moment when his people needed him the most. With Ysera’s return, the Kaldorei needed a victory to even things up, and it seems that Blizzard Entertainment had something special in mind.
