In a
recent lore interview
, Steve Danuser spoke about Malfurion sacrificing himself to allow Ysera to return from Ardenweald, explaining that it wouldn't be forever.
Not Without Great Sacrifice
During the Dragonflight alpha,
we datamined dialogue
that suggests Malfurion may choose to sacrifice himself so that Ysera can return, taking her place in Ardenweald.
Malfurion: I must be the one to stay.
Tyrande: What?
Malfurion: Ysera knows this -- though she would never ask it of me.
Tyrande: No.
Tyrande: We will find another way.
Malfurion: When she gave her life for mine in Val'sharah, it was not her time.
Malfurion: And now... the balance may be restored.
In a group Dragonflight Pre-Launch Interview, Danuser expanded on this potential sacrifice, comparing the arrangement to the myth of Persephone, an ancient Greek nature goddess who would spend half of her time in the Underworld.
Because Ysera is bound to Ardenweald, she is unable to return to the mortal realm. However, because she died sacrificing herself for Malfurion, it seems Malfurion is able to take her place, allowing her to leave.
According to Danuser, Malfurion's time in Ardenweald would be one of recovery and restoration, and would likely allow him to return with a fresh perspective on things.

I want to make clear that this is not us saying "Malfurion doesn't matter, we just want to get him out of the way" it's not that at all, if anything its a set-up for his eventual return, because the way to think of this is that if you look back on mythology there is this story of Persephone and she was this nature Goddess who got tricked into eating some berries that caused her to have to spend part of her time in the underworld and that's why there was winter and why there was spring, and that kind of metaphor really fit the story we were telling with Ardenweald and the cycle of life and death, and how the night elves are intertwined with that. We kind of used a version of that for in order for Ysera to come out of the Shadowlands and do some things that she needs to do someone has to take her place, someone has to take that end of the bargain. So that's what Malfurion is doing, but there can be some benefit from that time that he spends in Ardenweald, Ardenweald is a place of restoration, of recovery and now that the anima drought was dealt with, Ardenweald is getting back to what it was supposed to be in the first place, and it has ties to the Emerald Dream, so there's every possibility that Malfurion can come out of this with not only a new perspective on some things, but perhaps some new energies that he can tap into. We look forward to continuing that storyline when it makes sense to do so.
This clarification definitely makes Malfurion's sacrifice sound far less tragic and final. In fact, it sounds almost similar to the time Malfurion spent in the Emerald Dream. Though no doubt it will still be hard for Tyrande and Malfurion to be apart yet again, perhaps their love will ultimately be stronger for it.
This also suggests Ysera's return will not be forever either - in fact, the comparison to Persephone makes it sound like the two will continue to trade places on occasion, each taking the place of the other when they're needed most in the story.
Hopefully, the fact that Ysera can't be expected to be around all the time will also mean Merithra still gets a chance to grow into her own. At the moment, her character still feels very much overshadowed by her mother, but this does suggest her leadership will still be needed by the Green Dragonflight at least some of the time.
