Tales of a Dreamer

[Cherwina]

Reposting of Cherwina's story as I no longer have it hosted anywhere

The light was fading fast, the sun falling over a vast expanse of ocean, the waves lapping against the shore and reflecting the last few rays in a dazzling spectacle of light. The ocean crept in all around the small beach, tucked away on the southern shore of what had become known as the Dread Isles. Alone on this beach, leaning against an outcrop of rock was the tall, lithe figure of a Night Elf.

She was dressed in a fine white and black dress. Her long dark blue hair flowed over her shoulders and down her back, a faint glow radiating from the silver leaves entwined within. One hand rested gently on the rock, the other held a wooden stave, shaped like the head of a dragon, planted firmly in the sand. Her name is Cherwina Dawnstrider.

She had not fought during the War of the Ancients, but she was alive and present at the time and has much to say on the topic. She has fought alongside her fellow druids in the War of the Shifting Sands, and again, she will happily tell any who ask her the tales of that war. However, it is not the wars of the physical world that trouble her.

2 Years ago, while working for the Cenarion Circle in Feralas, she had a series of dreams that disturbed her. For in each dream, hovering just over the horizon was a shadow that put fear into her heart whenever she saw it. Had these just been ordinary dreams, she may not have cared, but these where specific places, specific people, all of which she recognised as the members of Ysera's dragonflight and their home, the Emerald Dream.

She reported her concerns to Fandral Staghelm, who was leading in the absense of Malfurion but he ignored her reports. Concerned at what the dreams may mean, Cherwina set out to search all of Azeroth for information about the Dream and the shadow within it.

Notes:
This was written as Cherwina's background after I first did Sunken Temple. At this time, there's unfortunately no more to this. This is just her reasons for travelling Azeroth.
