The mystic night fae of Ardenweald fiercely defend the spirits of nature from those who would deprive them of rebirth. They tend those who pass on with a deep connection to nature, retrieving anima from mortal souls and infusing it into slumbering spirits, rejuvenating their lives with the remnants of the old. They are led by the Winter Queen.[1]

The demigod Cenarius spent time recovering in Ardenweald so that he could return to Azeroth during the events of the Cataclysm. It is a beautiful, yet deceptively dangerous land.[2]

Joining the Night Fae makes you a hunter of the Wild Hunt, a champion of the Court of Night and protector of Ardenweald.[3]

Description[]

Defenders of nature who uphold the cycle of rebirth.

If the Emerald Dream mirrors the spring and summer of life, then the star-hued plane of Ardenweald reflects life in its twilight.

Those who pass on with a deep connection to nature are tended here by the mystic night fae, who retrieve anima from mortal souls and infuse it into slumbering spirits, rejuvenating their lives with the remnants of the old.

Ardenweald has suffered more keenly from soul-drought than any other realm in the Shadowlands. For the first time in endless ages, the night fae's Winter Queen must choose which of the land's formerly lush groves—and which souls—will be fed the last precious drops of anima… and which will fade away forever.[4]

The night fae tend to fallen nature spirits who slumber within the tranquil forest. Those with a deep bond to nature may join their cause, ensuring that the rejuvenated spirits can one day rejoin the eternal cycle.[5]

Covenant's abilities[]

If you choose to join the Night Fae Covenant, you'll gain two abilities tailored to the theme of the Covenant. The first of these is the Covenant's signature ability, which is available to all Covenant members regardless of class, race, or specialization. The second of these abilities is specific to your class, and gives you a new spell or power to use in combat.

You can channel anima once per daily reset, but the benefit stays active for a full 24-hour timer. Every 10 channels you can reinforce a location to gain that benefit permanently.
