TheWoWDBI think this is going to be one of the most iconic quests/moments in the game thus far. Brilliant storyline, beautifully made, clever use of past cinematics. I was thoroughly in the moment and cried all over the place.
However, my enjoyment and the moment were severly spoiled by people standing in front of/on the Winter Queen with their Yak/Brutosaur mounts. Usually, I can wave this kind of stuff away with good humour, but it really ruined my first experience of the quest.
Please, Blizzard, make the 'Grove of Awakening' a no mount/no pet zone, so the quest can be enjoyed and appreciated properly. It's too brilliant a moment in the game to be spoiled like this.
Many thanks!

Winter queen is talking about Ysera being "her sister's pet". Does it mean Eonar is her sister? Or Elune is?
I'm a grown ass man I don't tear! I swear I don't tear.

Description
Much of the Queen's focus has centered on the Grove of Awakening, where rejuvenated spirits emerge from their wildseeds and return to their worlds. Perhaps it is fitting you carry a wounded spirit with you. <Lord Herne studies Ysera's wildseed for a moment before a slow grin spreads across his face.> This one fights with all of her being. Even now she clings to existence. Come, stranger, let us see what fate the Queen will decree for this one.
