New Nelf Capital - Old Nelf Capital

[Bronnix-bleeding-hollow (Bronnix)]

Maybe. But they haven’t really had something with this kind of death toll since WotA. 10k years after which, they still considered Azshara cursed and haunted.

War of the Shifting Sands and the Third War were worse than the War of Thorns. Specially the Third War that was a meat grinder for the Night Elves specially Felwood and the Battle for Mount Hyjal.

What about Quel’danil Lodge? I remember it filled with High Elves near Dwarf lands or so I think. They can settle it with their cousins.

Those engagements inflicted heavy losses on the Night Elven military (though there were civilian casualties… there always is), which in any given society, is usually the extreme minority. Teldrassil killed a significant portion of the civilian population, a much larger majority. Even the Third War only left the Night Elves sad about the loss of their immortality, not lametnting being on the brink of extinction.

It’s near Aerie Peak. As of Cata it’s also been home to a group of draenei that are part of Ambassador Rualeth’s group.

I dunno. When you create a Night Elf in Classic the narration states “As one of the few Night Elves left in the world, it is your sworn duty to defend Darnassus”.

I realize accuracy has not been their strong suit when it comes to the Burning, but the fact that Teldrassil is still standing, and still bearing the weight of several large branch structures, would usually indicate the core wood is still alive. Much like catching a tree on fire in the first place, killing one with fire is also ridiculously hard, especially a fire that was over before a single night had passed. Usually, the bark and expendable parts like the leaves take the brunt of the damage, with the core insulated by the tree’s stored water. Then after a while, the tree starts growing from undamaged buds from above the blaze, or starts growing suckers from the roots. Alot of the time, if the tree does die, it’s only indirectly from the fire, damaging and weakening it enough for diseases and fungi to take hold inside the wounds.

Just plant a new tree, yo! (sorry, quote got messed)

It has more to do with what makes for a better ominous looking backdrop.

Night Elves need a new capital
