Teldrassil » Zones » WoW Armory Light

Off Kalimdor's northern coast lies the island of Teldrassil, the new home of the reclusive night elves and a stunning testament to the power of their magic and their connection with nature.

In recent time, night elves have moved their capital to an island off northwest Kalimdor (once known as Kalidar). Here, the Circle of the Ancients and the wise druids pooled their power to create a great tree akin to the World Tree, but on a smaller scale. They called this tree Teldrassil, meaning “Crown of the Earth,” and built their city of Darnassus atop it. 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 new night elf homeland and capital, Darnassus, in its boughs. The enterprise was not blessed by the aspects, however, and the tree's growth has been flawed. Regardless, the behemoth of a tree dwarfs Nordrassil, even large enough that a decently large amount of land has emerged atop its gargantuan limbs, and 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 Darnassus. The only way for Horde players to get to Teldrassil itself is via ship from Auberdine on mainland Kalimdor. Most other starting zones are directly accessible by the opposing faction without such hazards.
