||
| + | '''Bootlegger Outpost''' is a small outpost located on the edge of the [[Gaping Chasm]] in [[Tanaris]]. [[Narain Soothfancy]] can now be found here, along with his book [[Book "Soothsaying for Dummies"|"Soothsaying for Dummies"]]. |
||
| − | '''Teldrassil''' is an island and [[great tree]] off [[Kalimdor]]'s northern coast.<ref name="Lands of Mystery 20">''[[Lands of Mystery]]'', pg. 20</ref> It is the new home of the reclusive [[night elves]] and a stunning testament to the power of their magic and their connection with nature. |
||
| + | [[Marin Noggenfogger]] sent the goblins here on a mission to either find a way to make a profit off the [[silithid]] or wipe them clean off the map. |
||
| − | In recent times, the night elves have moved their [[capital]] to an island off northwest Kalimdor.<ref name="World of Warcraft The Roleplaying Game 19">''[[World of Warcraft The Roleplaying Game]]'', pg. 19</ref> 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.<ref name="World of Warcraft The Roleplaying Game 19">''[[World of Warcraft The Roleplaying Game]]'', pg. 19</ref> |
||
| + | ==NPCs== |
||
| − | 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 [[Dragon Aspect|Aspects]], unlike its predecessor. Regardless, the behemoth of a tree dwarfs [[Nordrassil]], even large enough that a decently large amount of land has emerged atop its gargantuan limbs. Trees, flora, and fauna are now verdantly spreading across the magical tree. |

||
| + | ==Notes== |
||
| − | 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. |
||
| + | Oddly the flight master is flagged under [[Ratchet]] rather than Gadgetzan like the rest of the goblins here. |
||
| − | == History == |
||
| − | After the cataclysmic events that followed the [[Third War|invasion]] of the [[Burning Legion]], {{npc||Malfurion Stormrage||Malfurion}} went missing. 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. |
||
| + | {{Tanaris}} |
||
| − | The Circle of the Ancients and powerful druids combined their powers to grow an immense tree in the [[Veiled Sea]]. 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. |
||
| − | |||
| − | == Geography == |
||
| − | 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.<ref name="Lands of Mystery 20">''[[Lands of Mystery]]'', pg. 20</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | The entire [[zone]] of Teldrassil is in fact one huge tree, grown on an island off the coast of [[Kalimdor]]. As such, there are no [[ore]] deposits to speak of here and the night elves are not known as crafty [[blacksmith]]s or [[miner]]s. However, because the tree is so full of life, [[herb]]s are numerous here. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Teldrassil contains no [[dungeon]]s, [[raid dungeon]]s, [[micro dungeon]]s, or [[battleground]]s. It is the starting area for the [[night elf|night elves]] and contains a very sheltered 1-5 leveling area, [[Shadowglen]]. The night elf [[capital city]] of [[Darnassus]] can also be found in this zone, though the travel hub is actually located at [[Rut'theran Village]] (accessible by portal from Darnassus). |
||
| − | |||
| − | At the tree's base there are some pieces of wooded land between its roots, one of which has an abandoned furbolg house on it, as well as [[Rut'theran Village]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Although Teldrassil is only the size of a mid-sized island in width, you must also take into account the sheer size in height that rivals any other island. It has been described as an "island continent".<ref name="World of Warcraft The Roleplaying Game 38">''[[World of Warcraft The Roleplaying Game]]'', pg. 38</ref> Another reference in the book<ref name="World of Warcraft The Roleplaying Game 19">''[[World of Warcraft The Roleplaying Game]]'', pg. 19</ref> and other sources simply call it an island. |

Players can also reach Rut'theran Village by [[Transportation#Boat|boat]] from [[Auberdine]], which is the only way for Horde players to get onto the island, Except for swimming across using Swim speed potions and Health potions, But is not recommended. |

| − | One of the most important quests for new night elf adventurers in Teldrassil is the {{quest|Crown of the Earth|Crown of the Earth}} quest chain. In this chain, night elves are sent to gather [[water]] from [[moonwell]]s scattered all over the island. Each time they return with the moonwell water, they learn a little more of the night elf history. Other important quests include the {{quest|Denalan's Earth|Timberling}} quest chain, in which adventurers must help investigate a corruption of the [[timberling]]s of Teldrassil, and the {{quest|A Troubling Breeze|Furbolg}} chain, which deals with the corruption of the local [[furbolg]] population. |

||
| − | |||
| − | * [[Dolanaar]] – flight path added |
||
| − | * [[Gnarlpine Hold]] – filled with corrupted mobs that swarm down the hill towards the Pools to fight the ancients |

||
| − | * Other – both [[Denalan]] and [[Rellian Greenspyre]] appear to exist in two places at once – where the Skinning/LW trainers are there is a place where both of them are together - this is likely due to Blizzard's desire to cut down on some quests' travel time |

||
| − | * While Teldrassil looks like a baobab with a thick trunk in ''World of Warcraft'' (its branches can't be seen), it looks more like a regular tree in art, and will resemble such in [[Warcraft (film)|Warcraft]]. The possible reason it looks like this in-game is because the engine is based completely off height-mapping, which heavily limits terrain possibilities. |
||
| − | |||
| − | *[[Blizzard Entertainment|Blizzard]] originally said the name of the island where Teldrassil was grown was named [[Kalidar]] on a preview website. It was also seen as Kalidar in the World of Warcraft DVD. |
||
| − | |||
| − | *Teldrassil's name, like that of Nordrassil, is probably taken from "Yggdrasil", the World Ash tree of Norse mythology |
