Good afternoon, fellow wanderers and explorers of Azeroth!

After delving into the history of the World Tree Teldrassil, I humbly present to you the next passage of Lore.

For this particular video, I strived to make it more immersive and storylike! Let me know what you think of this Lore overview!

[ddespoth]

My first character was a night elf hunter, god this was a magical trip

[Wowmusicable]

Best place ever! It was here my journey began in May 2005. 💚💜

[Lupinemancer]

As a Night Elf main, I appreciate this beautiful tribute to my homeland.
I started WoW way back in Vanilla, and my first ever character, that I still play to this day, was a Night Elf Hunter.

Coming back to these woods is always like coming back home. Ever peaceful. Ever pure.

Teldrassil is an interesting topic of WoW. Most WoW players seem to regard it as essential to the Night Elves' identity, because it has been there since Vanilla, but lorewise, it's basically a giant mistake and a symbol of the Night Elves clinging to a lost blessing they should have moved on from. In-universe Teldrassil was less than 30 years old when it was burned down. Blizzard seems to play into this perception, naming the Night Elven language after Darnassus which is somewhat absurd, since that city is seemingly also a very new city, the same age as the tree. Now Blizz seems to focus on creating a new world tree for the Night Elves, not because of any profound in-universe reason, but just more because that... the Night Elves should have a world tree, apparently. At the same time, Blizz seems fine to neglect that the REAL homeland of the Night Elves, meaning the regions of Hyjal, Ashenvale, Felwood, Darkshore, etc. are basically left to be contested areas that are fairly under-developed with regards to night elf population and infrastructure.
It's a bit like if everyone in WoW spoke as if Theramore was the iconic city of the humans and focused on rebuilding it for all humans, more or less ignoring the Eastern Kingdoms.

Happy to see the series still going strong and can’t wait to see where you take us next

[Alwuwa]

This channel needs to get more views. The storywriting transforms a place I've adventured in so many times into a land of mystery. So well written and produced wonderfully. Thank you for your work! Your future will shine brighter than Teldrassil did when Sylvanus came for a visit... ;)

[DJJruGs]

Awesome Sunday listen to drive to. Should do dun morough next

[WowNemy]

These videos are fantastic. Thank you!

[drewunger]

The storytelling style in this video has marked improvement from the Elwynn Forest video. While i enjoyed both of them, the questlines described in Teldrassil felt tied into the overrarching history and events. Keep up the great work!

[MyYbot]

Every now and then the YouTube algorithm delivers a gem. This is one of those instances. When people ask me what I love about wow, I’ll be linking these videos. Such a great idea and exceptionally well executed.

[mmcy]

looks like a national geographic documentary but world of warcraft and i love it.

[aussieflintknapping]

Yes! I'm here early and this is gonna be a banger. Can't wait for Mulgore

[RELXX]

the feeling and smile that the beginning of teldrassils music brings me is unmatched!

[TheLegoMan]

Dude heck yea new video, you gotta do all the starting regions at least! Your format is so rewatchable. Almost asmr like

[mrbedford]

I love this tuff, how it's all told and plays out.

[asterjaden]

Ever since the loss of Teldrassil I have come to apricate it so much more, next to Eversong Woods it's my second favourite Starting Area.

[DaisyCloverbee]

Two days ago, I found this channel, and after watching a few videos, have subscribed.

Teldrassil was my first foray into WoW. I was always a fan of Warcraft and this is where I first felt like I was a part of the story, a part of the world. I have long since stopped playing and have heard of what became of the grooves that held such nostalgia for me. Thank you for reminding me of the halcyon days, in both my real and virtual life.
