-'''Nordrassil''' is the original [[World Tree]] of the [[Night elf|night elves]], meaning "crown of the heavens" in their language.

-The key point of interest on [[Hyjal]] is Nordrassil, the World Tree. It stands thousands of feet high, and its vast canopy almost blocks out the sky. Although the tree suffered much damage in the [[Third War]], it is healing itself. It did not flower or grow leaves the year past the war, but the druids hoped that the coming year it would begin to grow again.<ref>''[[Warcraft: The Roleplaying Game]]'', 203</ref> Guarded by three dragonflights, the World Tree Nordrassil is slowly regrowing.<ref name="LoM 17">''[[Lands of Mystery]]'', 17</ref> The bones of Archimonde, the great demon lord who led the invasion of [[Azeroth (world)|Azeroth]] in the Third War, still hang from the massive tree’s mighty branches. Many speculate that when the tree regrows completely, the night elves will regain their immortality; but that day may never come if they fail to assist the dragons against the continuing threat of the [[Burning Legion]].<ref name="LoM 17" /> Even though Nordrassil is healing, it will take another century or two for the World Tree to regain its former glory and power.<ref>''[[Alliance Player's Guide]]'', 125</ref>

-The tree was grown from an acorn of the recently lost Mother Tree, [[G'Hanir]], by the [[Dragon Aspects|great dragon]] [[Alexstrasza]] in the waters of the newly reborn [[Well of Eternity]] on the sacred [[Mount Hyjal]].

-The tree was also blessed by [[Ysera]] to allow the druids entry into the [[Emerald Dream]], since their powers were fueled by nature they could help her protect nature itself within her realm since that is the true purpose of the [[Emerald Dream]]. It seems that the druids may have never needed the tree to do this since they can still enter it, even after the tree was damaged enough to remove the [[Nozdormu]]'s blessing. Also, according to ''[[War of the Ancients Trilogy|War of the Ancients]]'', [[Malfurion Stormrage]] was able to enter the Emerald Dream before Nordrassil was created.

-But the most important blessing came from [[Nozdormu]]; which ensured that so long as the tree existed the night elves would remain immortal. This would ensure that even the most corrupt of night elves would be drawn to protect the tree.

-During the [[Battle of Mount Hyjal]], [[Malfurion Stormrage]] blew on the [[Horn on the Ancients]] to summon forth hundreds of [[Wisp|nature spirits]] to defeat [[Archimonde]], thereby sacrificing the night elves' immortality and causing a devastating shockwave. While the tree's roots appeared to be healing, when last seen, it is clear that its connection to the night elves is gone. [[Fandral Staghelm]] led the creation of [[Teldrassil]], which has proven far less powerful and successful than Nordrassil. It appears Nordrassil is now fully grown and under assault by [[Ragnaros]]'s forces in [[Mount Hyjal]]. As before [[Malfurion Stormrage]] has returned from the [[Emerald Dream]] to render aid.

-In the upcoming expansion [[World of Warcraft: Cataclysm]] the elemental Lord [[Ragnaros]] has set his forces to attack the tree with the goal to burn and destroy. Malfurion, having returned from the Emerald Dream, along with the [[Cenarion Circle|armies]] of [[Cenarius]] are defending the World Tree.<ref>[[BlizzCon 2009]]</ref><ref>http://omgrpg.blogfaction.com/article/110448/omgrpg-blizzcon-2009-world-of-warcraft-cataclysm-announced-liveblog</ref><ref>http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/cataclysm/features/hyjal.html</ref>

-==Trivia==
-Nordrassil, the [[World Tree]] is almost certainly a reference to the World Tree of Norse mythology, Yggdrasil. Their names are similar, they both have wells underneath them: the [[Well of Eternity]] beneath Nordrassil, and the Well of Urd beneath one of the roots of Yggdrasil. Also [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Níðhöggr Nidhoggr], a dragon, gnawed at the roots of Yggdrasil, which could reference back to either [[Deathwing]] or [[Archimonde]]. These parallels only apply to Nordrassil, the "true" World Tree, and not Teldrassil, the "false" one.
