First, let's lay down what we can easily decipher.
-The "Tree" refers to Valor on a whole, the entire game.
-The "Flowers" refers to individual worlds.
-"New Buds" are obviously new worlds.
**The one that nobody seems to get is the worms.... The worms are the "Withered Spirit of Inactivity, worthlessness, and Laziness" brought on by the lack of fight.
So for the interpretation, Aurora spoke of "smaller flowers" which I believe refers to new worlds being smaller than the current ones. These new worlds are "free of worms" or put another way free of the lazy and inactive spirit of men/women when no fight presents itself.
Aurora also speaks of these new, smaller worlds being "barren, with burnt trees, a wasteland, with no lush Forrests, no mountains, and no oceans." My first interpretation was that the new smaller worlds will not be decorated with trees and mountains on the map, maybe to increase map load times, etc... BUT, what doesn't make sense to me is that she said "no Oceans". There are no oceans on the Valor map, so I have to think this is a metaphor, and that maybe it is referring to decreasing the number of barbarian cities, or even doing away with them. This would definitely increase the Brutality of Valor, and with smaller worlds it would make the fighting spirit that much more intense since you would have to take cities from players instead of grabbing the "low hanging fruit" which is the worm's favorite food.
Now as far the "The shadow draws near, look for the scholar"... I dont know, and it's an ongoing phrase, so it will be part of a bigger story line, more to come so to speak.
