The entire zone of Teldrassil is in fact one huge tree, grown on an island off the coast of Kalimdor. All forms of terrain exist here, including streams, full-sized lakes, and a few hills that might be considered mountains. Darnassus takes up a large chunk on the western side of this island, while the smaller cities of Aldrassil and Dolanaar dot the remaining forest. After the burning, Teldrassil is largely uninhabited and Darnassus is destroyed.įor characters below 110, the majority of Teldrassil's upper reaches is open forest and it resembles a mid-sized forested island. After hearing word of Malfurion Stormrage's survival, she chose to cover Teldrassil in flame instead of capturing it, killing all those trapped civilians within that could not escape in time to the water or through portals to Stormwind City. The tree flourishes even more under the gift from the Life-Binder, even if still being unable to return the night elves' immortality.ĭuring the War of the Thorns, in an attempt to strike a devastating blow to the Alliance, Sylvanas Windrunner and the Horde pushed through Ashenvale to lay siege to Teldrassil from the shores of Darkshore. Alexstrasza, impressed that the tree could prosper alone without her influence or her kin's, blessed it belatedly. The archdruid managed to remove this parasite, and eventually restored the tree to what it once was. This corrupted the tree and drove it mad, spreading its evil to everything around it. Malfurion, upon returning to Darnassus, discovered that a remnant of a great evil he had sealed away had attached itself to Teldrassil. The source of this corruption remained a mystery for some time, until the conflict of the Emerald Nightmare spilled into the waking world. Crazed furbolgs, satyrs and fouler beasts have appeared in Teldrassil, occupying all the attention of the vigilant Sentinels and the wise druids to ensure the safety of their new home. However, the calm of the enchanted forest has slowly fallen into the shadow of a sinister presence. The night elves made their new home in the boughs of Teldrassil, creating a forest of mighty trees and flowing rivers, bathed in the endless night that fell over the lands of the elves from the dawn of time. They called the tree Teldrassil, meaning "crown of the earth" in Darnassian. The Circle of the Ancients and powerful druids combined their powers to grow an immense tree in the Veiled Sea. However, his plan failed due to the fact that Nozdormu, the source of the night elves immortality, did not bless the tree. Archdruid Fandral Staghelm took over the leadership of the night elven druids, convincing the Circle of the Ancients in Darkshore that it was time for the night elven people to rebuild the World Tree and regain their cherished immortality. Trees, flora, and fauna were spread across the magical tree.Īfter the cataclysmic events that followed the invasion of the Burning Legion, Malfurion went missing. Regardless, the behemoth of a tree dwarfs Nordrassil, large enough that a decent amount of land emerged atop its gargantuan limbs. The enterprise was not blessed by all of the Aspects, unlike its predecessor. Teldrassil is truly massive, a huge trunk rising out of the sea and holding the entire night elf homeland, and the capital of Darnassus, in its boughs. The island takes the name of the "tree" as well, and a twilit forest covered it. They called this tree Teldrassil ("crown of the earth") and built their city of Darnassus in its branches. It was here that the Circle of the Ancients and the wise druids pooled their power to create another World Tree, but on a smaller scale. The night elves moved their capital to an island off northwest Kalimdor. It was the home of the reclusive night elves and a stunning testament to the power of their magic and connection with nature. Teldrassil is an island and great tree off Kalimdor's northern coast. The Veiled Sea / Northern Kalimdor Sources: Lands of Mystery, pg.
