| ⚫ | It was here that the Circle of the Ancients and the wise [[druid]]s pooled their power to create another World Tree, but on a smaller scale. They called this tree Teldrassil ("crown of the earth") and built their city of [[Darnassus]] in its branches. The island takes the name of the "tree" as well, and a twilit forest now covers it. |

Trees, flora, and fauna are now verdantly spreading across the magical tree. |

| − | Teldrassil sees very little [[PvP]] action due to the fact that [[Horde]] players have to cross through [[Rut'Theran Village]] and Darnassus. The only way for Horde players to get to Teldrassil itself is via ship from [[Auberdine]] (also Night-Elf controlled) on mainland Kalimdor. Most other [[starting area]]s are directly accessible by the opposing faction without such hazards. |

Archdruid {{npc||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. However, his plan failed due to the fact that {{npc||Nozdormu}}, the source of the night elves immortality, did not bless the tree. |

They called the tree Teldrassil, meaning "crown of the earth" in [[Darnassian]]. 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. |

| − | However, the calm of the enchanted forest has slowly fallen into the shadow of a sinister presence. Crazed [[furbolg]]s, [[satyr]]s and fouler beasts have appeared in Teldrassil, occupying all the attention of the vigilant [[Sentinel]]s and the wise [[druid]]s to ensure the safety of their new home. The source of this corruption remained a mystery for sometime, until the conflict of the [[Emerald Nightmare]] spilled into the waking world. |

| − | Malfurion, upon returning to Darnassus, discovered that a remnant of a great evil he had sealed away had attached itself to Teldrassil. This corrupted the tree and drove it mad, spreading its evil to everything around it. The archdruid managed to remove this parasite, and eventually restored the tree to what it once was. {{npc||Alexstrasza}}, impressed that the tree could prosper alone without her blessing or her kin's, did so belatedly. The tree flourishes even more under the gift from the Life-Binder, even if still being unable to return the night elves' immortality. |

Teldrassil in the game
Teldrassil is an island and great tree off Kalimdor's northern coast. It is the new home of the reclusive night elves and a stunning testament to the power of their magic and connection with nature.
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. They called this tree Teldrassil ("crown of the earth") and built their city of Darnassus in its branches. The island takes the name of the "tree" as well, and a twilit forest now covers it.
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 enterprise was not blessed by all of the Aspects, unlike its predecessor. Regardless, the behemoth of a tree dwarfs Nordrassil, large enough that a decent amount of land has emerged atop its gargantuan limbs. Trees, flora, and fauna are now verdantly spreading across the magical tree.
Environment
The majority of Teldrassil's upper reaches is open forest and it resembles a mid-sized forested island. 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. All forms of terrain exist here, including streams, full-sized lakes, and a few hills that might be considered mountains.
There are no ore deposits to speak of here and the night elves are not known as crafty blacksmiths or miners. However, because the tree is so full of life, herbs are numerous.
Teldrassil contains no dungeons, raids, or battlegrounds. It is the starting area for the night elves and contains a very sheltered 1-5 leveling area, Shadowglen.
