I'll admit i'm a bit dissapointed, you've copy and pasted Alexstrasa but given her a neat purple paintjob but there is one HUGE lore inconsistency. She's got her eyes open. She does not have her eyes open ever. The last time she opened them was out of shock and sheer panic in the war of the ancients over 10000 years ago in the lore.

In every bit of lore about her it goes on that her eyes are always shut as if peacefully asleep, not open. Its in Knaaks god aweful books (yes I did read them) its in the pen and paper books, she should not have her eyes open.

Q u o t e:
Not true. Her eyes are closed because she is in the Emerald Dream, ALWAYS working to aid Azeroth and keep the balance. Her eyes generally only open when something stops her from this duty, forcing her into the moment.

If she was in a battle with Ragnaros, I could see it happening. Chilling in a shrine under Nordrassil, even if channeling its magics, isn't really intense enough to warrant her abandoning the rest of the dream. Her attention is needed in many other places atm, not just the World Tree. She trusts Malfurion quite a lot--it wouldn't be surprising if she was letting him handle the majority of the defense while she tried to keep the rest of Azeroth from being torn apart.

Actually, I think she does battle Ragnaros with players/in general. They could have her normal model with eyes shut, but have her enter a second phase during that encounter (or in a cutscene) where she opens her eyes to focus on the task at hand. The lore geek in me would squeal with delight.


As I've said before, her eyes are very intentionally open. This is, in fact, part of the fiction and will be explained in one of our upcoming novels as well as a future event in game.

If it suits you, feel free to RP going CRAZY INSANE after looking into her eyes in Hyjal.

Yes it does, but i can guarantee it won't with the next patch. Instead she'll say

"I sense you are curious to why i have opened my eyes for more than a few seconds...a first in the millennia of recorded history on this world. Well, be ready to shell out $25 to $35 USD for Richard Knaak's next piece of horrible self-insertion fanfiction disguised as literature to find out why, because I'M certainly not going to explain it!

*Ysera quickly sticks her fingers in her ears and starts nearly shouting "LaLaLaLaLa!! I CAN'T HEAR YOU!! LaLaLaLa!!" in a childish, sing-song voice to block any further questions on the matter*"


((Yes, i'm slightly annoyed, and i HOPE this doesn't get me kicked out of Beta >.> )


I very clearly explained that we will also have an explanation in game.
