6,800 years ago, Quel'Thalas had been successfully established. With the infinite energy provided by the Sunwell, it gradually gained a foothold under the pressure of the forest trolls.
After the War of the Ancients, the Well of Eternity also collapsed and disappeared, triggering a catastrophe. Ancient Kalimdor was torn apart by the huge energy of the Well of Eternity's explosion.
Before the Well of Eternity exploded, Illidan Stormrage secretly took several vials of the Well's water, which was rich in pure arcane energy.
Three of the bottles he poured into the small lake at the top of Mount Hyjal, forming a new Well of Eternity.
After learning about this, Jarod, who had not retired at the time, had some conflicts with Illidan, which angered the vengeful Maiev.
Malfurion personally took action to suppress it, and Illidan, who had always been stubborn and refused to admit his mistake, was finally subdued.
As Tyrande looked on, Illidan was found guilty.
Under the pressure exerted by the whole clan, Malfurion reluctantly threw his own brother into prison for permanent imprisonment, and was guarded by the Watchers newly formed by Maiev.
In order to cover up the powerful arcane fluctuations emanating from the New Well of Eternity, with the help of the Dragon Kings, the world tree Nordrassil relied on the energy of the New Well of Eternity to rapidly grow into a towering tree.
Alexstrasza, Ysera, and Nozdormu used the immense power of the new Well of Eternity to imbue the giant tree with the Dragon King's blessing.
The night elves have since had unlimited lifespans, are immune to disease, and have established a close connection with the Emerald Dream.
Sharlayan didn't know how Dath'Remar got the water from the Well of Eternity from the imprisoned Illidan. After all, there were only a few people with ideas, actions, and luck like him.
When Quel'Thalas began to develop rapidly, other ancient cities left behind by the Dark Night Empire also encountered their own difficulties.
Suramar, the Pearl of the Night, had completed self-sealing as early as the War of the Ancients, and created the Nightwell with the power of the Eye of Aman'Thul.
History has proven that Elisande's plan is only a temporary measure and will cause big problems sooner or later.
But no matter what, during that period of 6,800 years ago, Suramar, who had a relatively sufficient supply of magic power, was considered lucky.
Prince Tortheldrin, who was guarding Ere'Thalas, came up with a crooked idea.
He ordered Syndra's scholars to summon a powerful demon from the Twisting Nether to the material world, draining energy from its body and suppressing the demon addiction that all highborne could not escape.
In addition to the above two, the capital city of Zin-Azshari sank into the sea, Senlaro, located in the central wilderness (Barren Land), was missing, and the seat of the sky, La Salazar, was completely missing.
The northern city of Shandara is luckier than the disappeared Lasalazar and Senlaluo. At least they survived for more than 3,000 years after the collapse of the earth.
But unfortunately, by this time, all the resources reserved in the city have been exhausted, and we have to turn our attention to the outside world.
The upper elf of Shandalar was out exploring and encountered an unexpected incident by chance.
They saw several young blue dragons in the Borean Tundra. These young dragons used magic to crystallize the wild animals in the Borean Tundra and absorbed energy from these crystals.
Perhaps these young dragons were just having fun, but their actions made the upper elves of Shandara suddenly enlightened.
The Highborne contacted the Blue Dragonflight through official channels, trying to obtain this life-saving technology from them.
But at that time, the Blue Dragon Legion was in a period of drought. Just maintaining the survival of the tribe required a lot of effort. They were not interested in the trade request issued by Shandara. The dragon concubine Saragosa even sternly warned them not to play with fire.
.
In desperation, the Shandalar Highborne, whose symptoms of addiction became more and more serious, decided to take a desperate risk and sneaked into the Demonic Nexus, the lair of the Blue Dragon Legion.
Not to mention, these high-level elves with amazing mobility actually successfully achieved their goals and discovered relevant technologies from the classics preserved in the blue dragon's library.
This was also because the Blue Dragon Legion was weak at the time and did not have enough manpower to patrol the Demonic Nexus, which allowed the Highborne Elves to successfully succeed.
But that's where the problem lies.
Discovering that the defenses of the Demonic Nexus were lax, the highborne elves who sneaked into it became greedy as they shouldn't have been.
They stole several powerful magic weapons from the Demonic Nexus's treasure house, thus triggering the alarm spell set by the Blue Dragon clan.
Although the highborne escaped from the Nexus in a hurry, their thieving behavior angered the blue dragon, who was already very sensitive at the time.
Led by the dragon concubine Saragosa herself, dozens of adult blue dragons of the new generation came to the sky above the Moonsong Forest where Sundala City is located, filled with rage.
In a battle with extraordinary creatures like dragons, Shantara has no chance of winning.
In desperation, the highborne elves came up with a solution.
They plan to use the technology stolen from the Demonic Nexus to crystallize part of the Moonsong Forest, absorb the magic power in these crystals, and release a wide range of powerful spells to drive back the blue dragon.
There is a long-standing saying among the mage community.
Rushing to use unproven magic will inevitably lead to disastrous consequences.
There is no doubt that Shandara got away with it. They originally only planned to crystallize a part of the forest, but the spell went out of control and led to a huge disaster.
With Shandara City as the center, the violent arcane energy triggered a big explosion, completely crystallizing Shandarla City and the surrounding forests, and no one survived.
The blue dragon, who was very sensitive to arcane magic, sensed the abnormal energy fluctuations first and withdrew from Moonsong Forest in advance, thus escaping the aftermath of the crystallized explosion.
The frightened Blue Dragon evacuated the Moonsong Forest without looking back. Starting from Shandara City, there was no longer a living creature in the center of the forest.
The bodies of the Highborne were destroyed by the violent crystallization of arcane energy, but their twisted souls still linger in the crystallized forest.
Since then, Moonsong Forest has been renamed Crystalsong Forest by the locals in Northrend, and no one dares to easily set foot in this area filled with chaotic magic.
2,300 years later, a strange vein of iron called saronite spread throughout Azeroth, frantically devouring the life force of all surrounding animals and plants.
In order to curb the continued expansion of these veins, Fandral Staghelm, who took Malfurion's place in charge, cut six magical branches from the branches of Nordrassil.
The druids, led by Staghelm, found the five places where the Saronite iron veins were most active and inserted branches of Nordrassil into the ground.
These branches grew rapidly under the catalysis of the druids, and the five giant trees resonated with each other, forming a special giant tree network.
This network is directly connected to the Emerald Dream, and can channel the power of the dream world into the material world, thereby suppressing the crazy spread of the Saronite iron veins.
Staghelm personally inserted the largest branch into the Grizzly Hills of Northrend to form a new world tree, which he named Andrassil, the Snowcrown.
Many people are aware of the subsequent development.
Staghelm's intentions were good, and he did successfully curb the spread of the Saronite iron veins.
But the cost is also huge.
Andrassil's roots penetrated too deep into Northrend, and inadvertently touched the prison of Yogg-Saron, the Thousand-Mawed Demon.
Yogg-Saron took this opportunity to extend his tentacles into the Emerald Dream through the giant tree network centered on Andrassil.
It also invited N'Zoth and C'Thun to join, which directly led to the rise of the Nightmare King Xavius.
After the change occurred, Staghelm was annoyed and took action himself, reluctantly cutting down Andrassil.
This fallen world tree later became known as Vordrassil, the Broken Crown, and its remains still remain on the land of Northrend.
The reason why Sharlayan suddenly thought of this was because one of the five giant trees planted by Staghelm was located in the Crystalsong Forest, which was filled with violent arcane energy.
Maybe it was a coincidence, or maybe it was inevitable by accident.
The giant trees planted in Crystalsong Forest rely on the gentle natural energy they emit to gradually reconcile the violent arcane power that pervades Crystalsong Forest.
Yes, this special phenomenon is based on the same principle as the miraculous effect of the Miracle Tree Akandor in curing magic addiction, which uses the gentle force of nature to reconcile the violent arcane energy.
After thousands of years of slow purification, when Melia traveled to Crystalsong Forest, the local twisted arcane energy had almost disappeared.
Only some traces remain in the center of the forest, near the ruins of the original Shandara City.
Many years have passed since Melia's trip to Northrend, and now Crystalsong Forest can no longer feel the ravages of violent arcane energy.
In other words, Crystal Song Forest can finally be inhabited.
Moreover, Crystalsong Forest, which has a long history of harmonizing natural and arcane energy, is one of the most suitable locations for planting Akandor. This is what Sarlayan values most.
