Deathwing unleashed Ragnaros and his minions on the land. With the impending Cataclysm that scarred its glades and craggy mountainside, the World Tree's well-being was threatened once more. Sealed away within a protective field of dense foliage by Malfurion Stormrage, Nordrassil slowly recovered from the devastation of the Third War, when Malfurion called upon the tree's power to destroy the archdemon Archimonde and repel the forces of the Burning Legion and the Scourge. įor years, Mount Hyjal and the wounded World Tree, Nordrassil, remained cut off from the rest of Azeroth. Illidan was in turn imprisoned in one of the barrow dens under Hyjal. It also empowered the kaldorei against diseases and aging. Nordrassil grew deep roots into the earth, spreading life-giving energies and healing the land around the mountain. It was blessed by three dragon aspects: Alexstrasza, Nozdormu and Ysera, and served two purposes: to keep others from abusing the magic of the new Well, but also to prevent the second fount’s power from growing too great over time. After the night elves learned of this, they planted the world tree Nordrassil on top of it. Mount Hyjal endured, however, and the night elven resistance, who had escaped to the Summit, emerged to rebuild their society - though without arcane magic this time.Īfter the Sundering, Illidan Stormrage created a new Well of Eternity atop Mount Hyjal. When the first Well of Eternity was destroyed in the War of the Ancients, the resulting implosion triggered the Great Sundering. The public believed it was out of respect for strong ties the mountain had with nature, but the Queen secretly feared the Wild Gods that resided on it. The Kaldorei have held this great mountain sacred and it remained untouched by their sprawling empire by the orders of Queen Azshara. The dark trolls, ancestors of the night elves used to live in the networks of deep caverns stretching under Hyjal. The massive forested peak of Mount Hyjal was the original refuge and sacred place to the Wild Gods, protected and watched over by Freya shortly after the ordering of Azeroth. 1.1 Early history and War of the AncientsĮarly history and War of the Ancients.The zone makes extensive use of the terrain phasing technology.
