Isn’t there a current working theory/evidence that Shaladrassil in Val’sharah existed before the sundering, and thus before Nordrassil?
Worgens need to know, can they mark it?
Is it two places? Or is the crater with the roots, Sholazar?
Though, I would wonder where the dwarves went…
I think the crater with the roots is supposed to be this new mysterious island from what I gathered. Sholazar, iirc, was created by the Titans to test out new flora and fauna in a more controlled environment.
Actually, the Titans go around spreading order not life. The tree introduced chaos, which is not in the same force that order so naturally they do not see it as beneficial since it is not of order. A magical being not able to move from one place to another? Why are your takes always so bad?
Not sure where you got Moon Dwarves from. All the book says is guardians arose from it after the roots nourished on Eonar’s Tears.
You also missed the part where Eonar’s crying filled the crater, which nourished the tree roots.
And the fact she named it Elun’ahir, after her love, which implies her and Elune are in love.
Sholazar and Un’goro were both basins of life. Yes, they order worlds, but they also know that their power spreads life as they grow within planets. It’s why Azeroth grew so lush once they ordered the planet.
The whole history of Sholazar is that of a cradle of life, with at least some of the titan keepers taking an interest in the development of creatures great and small.[2]
When the Titans shaped Azeroth, Freya designed Sholazar Basin to be an area for experimentation along with Un’Goro Crater and the Vale of Eternal Blossoms. All three locations were places where the power of the Well of Eternity had coalesced. The Wild Gods emerged from these cradles of life.[3]
I literally gave factual lore. What’s your problem?

It’s definitely this.
They’re trying to build up our knowledge that the Titans aren’t perfect and don’t agree with each other in the way they go about things. (Even though Sargeras tells us that)
This also makes me wonder - do the roots still exist? If they do, are they what created the Emerald Dream, and not Freya herself?
ok, where’d it go after he ripped it out?
and given the history of the world trees we have had, he’s not exactly wrong to think they’re a bad idea.
also, oh joy, more “um actually the good guys were bad guys the whole time!” lore.

The Twisting Nether, I’d guess. No different than if we used a rocket to shoot a giant garbage ball into space.
ok now hear me out… space tree expansion.
I want this.
Ethereals made a new home in it!
I tried googling this and got stuff on Elon Musks hair
LOL!!!

According to another new book. The Emerald Dream may have always existed. Freya just molded the portion that overlaps with Azeroth. Its actually much bigger than Azeroth. And after exploring the edges of it a Green Dragon found many strange new lifeforms and even the Realms of Life. The Emerald Dream may be the life equivilent of the twisted nether or great beyond.
Thros the Blighted Lands is part of the Dream and borders on the Realms of Death so the Emerald Dream is merely the borderland between the Gardens of Life and the Shadowlands of Death just as the Veil is the borderland between Reality and all other Cosmic Realms.
Sadly yes, due to the Oakheart dungeon journal, which was a mistake on the devs part. It was caught “too late” in the dev cycle to be changed. So until this issue is “retconned” officially, then it is from before the sundering.
So more retconning? Sounds about right for wow lore. Why story sucks.
