- "Not everyone sleeps during the night. Under the light of the moon, I truly shine, for the goddess Elune grants me strength and her power shields me from harm. I am High Priestess Tyrande Whisperwind. Those who dare harm my people will not live to see the sunrise!"[1]
Tyrande Whisperwind is an alternate hero for the Priest class in Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft.
Official overview
- High Priestess Tyrande Whisperwind has been a fierce protector of her people for millennia. Her wisdom is legend—she has seen kingdoms rise and fall, and she has faced every threat to Azeroth for thousands of years. She is the chosen of the goddess Elune, and under her leadership the Night Elves have survived and prevailed throughout history. Whether defeating demonic incursions, managing difficult relationships, or providing wise council to Azeroth’s greatest leaders, Tyrande always knows the right play.[2]
Background
- Tyrande Whisperwind (pronounced teh-rahn-dah) is the chosen high priestess of the goddess Elune, the former general of the night elf sentinels and the current head of the Sisterhood of Elune. Together with her lifelong mate, the archdruid Malfurion Stormrage, she has represented the highest leadership of the night elves since the fall of Queen Azshara and the Highborne caste ten thousand years ago. In World of Warcraft, she is found inside the Temple of the Moon within the Kaldorei's capital city of Darnassus.
- In the years prior to the Burning Legion's first invasion, Tyrande was the object of both Malfurion and his brother Illidan's affections. In the end, the priestess chose the druid over the sorcerer. After playing a pivotal role in the War of the Ancients, Tyrande was promoted to General of the Sentinels and would protect Kalimdor for over 10,000 years while her lover and the druids slept in the Emerald Dream. Tyrande and Malfurion then led the night elves in the Third War, defeating the Burning Legion as they had done in ages past at the Battle of Mount Hyjal. She subsequently stepped down as general, handing the reigns to her adoptive daughter Shandris Feathermoon, to devote herself fully as leader of her people.
- After Malfurion had become trapped within the Emerald Dream for a prolonged period of time, Tyrande journeyed into the dream to rescue him. In the wake of the Shattering, Tyrande and Malfurion were wed and now lead their people as one. Together they supported the worgen of Gilneas in their return into the Alliance. Tyrande also restored complete night elf control over Ashenvale as a result of the Alliance-Horde War.
How to get
Tyrande is currently available to players with their Battle.net country of residence set to certain specific countries, through a limited-time special promotion. While all players who have already unlocked the hero can play her, there is currently no way for new players outside these countries to obtain Tyrande.
To obtain Tyrande, players must purchase a 40 card pack bundle from the in-game Shop or the official Battle.net shop between January 25 and February 10, 2017, while qualifying for all the below criteria:
- Players must have the Battle.net country of residence for that account set to Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam or the Philippines.
- The 40 card packs must be bought as a single purchase, and be from the Classic set or an expansion set. Cumulative purchases do not qualify for this promotion.
Players who meet these criteria will be awarded the Tyrande hero on February 28, 2017.
Obtaining Tyrande also grants a special card back (see below).
Previous availability
Tyrande was available exclusively through subscribing to Twitch Prime, which is included as part of Amazon Prime. Twitch Prime members were able to obtain a code to unlock Tyrande for their account. The promotion lasted from around September 30 until November 5.
As of September 2016, Twitch Prime was only available for customers in the United States, Canada, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Belgium and Austria. The developers are still discussing alternative means for players in other countries to obtain Tyrande in the future.[3] However, it has been reported that Twitch Prime's availability is determined solely by the address provided by the customer, allowing players from other regions to temporarily alter their details and thus obtain the code for Tyrande.
Tyrande was available to both new and existing members. Amazon Prime members were able to opt-in to Twitch Prime at no additional cost by linking their Twitch.tv account to their Amazon Prime account. While Amazon Prime normally costs a monthly fee, new customers were able to use the 30-day free trial to receive rewards including Tyrande for free, provided they canceled their membership before the end of the trial period.
