World Tree

World Trees are gigantic trees grown by night elven druids that are powerful sources of druidic nature magic. There are five known World Trees, the oldest of which being Nordrassil. All of these trees bear the suffix -drassil, meaning "Crown" in Darnassian; Nordrassil, for example, translates to "Crown of the Heavens."

Nordrassil was created with a seed from G'Hanir after the War of the Ancients in Mount Hyjal, the domain of the Wild God Aviana, which has been mostly rendered dormant. Planted atop the Well of Eternity, the tree granted the night elves immortality until the Third War during the Battle of Mount Hyjal.

Five World Trees are currently known, of which two are corrupted by the Emerald Nightmare.
