Teldrassil - Music & Ambience - World of Warcraft

The loss of the first World Tree, Nordrassil, during the Third War ushered in a new era in night elven history - one in which this venerable race would no longer be immune to aging, disease, and frailty. As the night elves struggled to cope with their fate, Fandral Staghelm and a group of like-minded druids conspired to create a new World Tree that would restore the night elves’ cherished immortality. Through these druids’ efforts, Teldrassil was planted off the coast of northern Kalimdor, and the bulk of night elven society took up residence atop the new World Tree’s mighty boughs. Teldrassil, however, was not blessed by the Dragon Aspects as Nordrassil had been, and thus the new World Tree did not change the fact that the night elves were mortal. Even worse, the World Tree and its inhabitants began to manifest signs of an unnatural ailment, later revealed to have been caused by the Emerald Nightmare. Much to the night elves’ dismay, it was discovered that Fandral had fallen to the Nightmare’s influence and had allowed Teldrassil’s corruption to take hold. Ultimately, Fandral’s wayward schemes were thwarted by the powerful archdruid Malfurion Stormrage, and Teldrassil was cleansed. To punctuate the victory over the Nightmare, the Dragon Aspects Alexstrasza and Ysera blessed the tree to ensure its vitality in the years to come. Yet as great and noble as this blessing was, it did not restore the night elves’ immortality. Of late, Teldrassil’s recovery has slowed, and signs of the Nightmare’s corruption have resurfaced. Already burdened by political tension and the vast destruction unleashed by the Cataclysm, the night elves must now ascertain the cause of their beloved World Tree’s ailment and refocus their efforts on the dire situation facing Azeroth. 0:00 - Shadowglen 1 1:27 - Night Elves 2 2:52 - Enchanted Forest 1 3:42 - Enchanted Forest 3 7:37 - Barrow Dens 1 8:38 - Barrow Dens 4 9:27 - Barrow Dens 5 10:26 - Grove of the Ancients 1 11:56 - Grove of the Ancients 3 12:57 - Hyjal 1 14:21 - Hyjal 2 15:45 - Night Elves 3 17:10 - Darnassus 1 18:35 - Darnassus 2 19:45 - Darnassus 3 20:51 - Soggy Place 1 22:25 - Soggy Place 2 23:59 - Soggy Place 3 25:26 - Soggy Place 4 26:55 - Soggy Place 5 28:03 - Enchanted Forest 2 29:07 - Enchanted Forest 4 30:07 - Enchanted Forest 5 31:18 - Grove of the Ancients 2 32:46 - Barrow Dens 2 33:33 - Barrow Dens 3 34:35 - Hyjal 3 35:59 - Mystery 1 37:00 - Mystery 2 37:54 - Mystery 3 38:55 - Night Elves 2 40:19 - Enchanted Forest 1 41:09 - Enchanted Forest 3 45:05 - Barrow Dens 1 46:06 - Barrow Dens 4 46:55 - Barrow Dens 5 47:53 - Grove of the Ancients 1 49:23 - Grove of the Ancients 3 50:24 - Hyjal 1 51:49 - Hyjal 2 53:12 - Night Elves 3 54:37 - Darnassus 1 56:04 - Enchanted Forest 3 Night Elves, Grove of the Ancients and Shadowglen composed by Neal Acree.
