Lore

Ironbark Protectors are a type of ancient protector, giant leafy defenders of Darnassus, the night elves and the druids. In World of Warcraft, the name "Ironbark Protector" refers to a group of corrupted ancients found in Dire Maul. However, given this minion's flavor text, this card may not specifically refer to those particular ancients, but to a general type of ancient protector who also share the epiphet "Ironbark".

Trivia

  • The artwork for this card comes from the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game "Fields of Honor" series, for the card Treebole.
  • The card art depicts Treebole, a wandering level 70 quest giver located at Raven's Wood in the contested territory of Blade's Edge Mountains.
  • There is a humorous reference in LegacyFlametongue Totem's flavor text that the wood of Ironbarks are rumoured to sometimes be used for the construction of totems. This is likely a joke, as the druids would not take kindly to the shamans' attempts to 'Goblins vs GnomesRecycle' one of their Protectors.
  • Ironbark Protector was a part of MRLGRL! It’s Time to Welcome Nerglish Players to the Inn!, an April Fools joke in 2018 where it was announced that Hearthstone would be fully localized in Nerglish.
