Amirdrassil, the Dreams Hope Opens the Week of November 14

Fyrakk has arrived in The Emerald Dream, intent on exacting his evil plans with the help of the Zaqali Djaradin and the resurgent Druids of the Flame. If he claims the World Tree, Amirdrassil, it will deliver a time of fire and chaos to Azeroth. The Raid includes nine boss encounters, including a Dragonriding encounter, leading to the ultimate showdown with Fyrakk at the top of Amirdrassil, the Dream's Hope. Prepare to mount up, take to the sky with your allies, and come face-to-face with Fyrakk. Find out more in our latest raid overview and schedule article.
