So wait… Teldrassil just existed? Did it do anything for the stability of the World?
Reported and ignored, bye.
After it was cleansed of Xavius, it did start healing the land around it. Before it actually did too: a quest in Vanilla for example mentioned how big the fish around it were by just growing and living near it. When Xavius was cleansed and the tree was healed from the damage he left, it began to send restorative energies out. Then Alexstrazsa made it stronger with her blessing. The implication of this AND Ysera blessing the tree at the end of the Novel, is never explored in-game. Night Elf stories dont tend to go anywhere lol.

As far as I understand, Teldrassil was never meant to provide any benefit to the world. Fandral created it after the Third War (so it’s relatively new) in an attempt to restore the immortality of the Night Elves, which was lost during the Third War when Nordrassil was nearly destroyed.
It was a project of vanity that Fandral was manipulated into by Xavius and other forces of the Nightmare.
I don’t know if, once cleansed and blessed, it provided any tangible benefit to Azeroth at large, as other World Trees have. I do believe thanks to Ysera and Alexstraza’s blessings that Teldrassil ensured the Night Elves would no longer grow sick, and that their connection to nature would be as strong as prior to the Third War (it was implied that the Night Elves’ connection to nature was waning after Nordrassil was damaged).
When I say Night Elf stories never go anywhere, this is one of them LOL. Granted as Druid lore progressed, the Tree just didnt become essential anymore.

I see, so it restored the area around Darkshore, did it do anything beyond that? I mean it gave the Elves a connection to their Druidic thingy… but beyond that I don’t think it was meant as anything more then a immortality booster. So I am not sure if it is the same as those grand World Trees we know of.
Speculative at best. Most of them were children and their caretakers.
They already had.
Yes it is. You are being morally negligent, and showcasing a complete lack of empathy. You are supposed to feel for the victims of Teldrassil the same way you are supposed to feel for the people of Alderaan in Star wars. that is how Story telling works.
I am, by reporting you and submitting tickets about you.
We’re not likely to find out until the Horde needs to be shamed again, which will be rather annoying and hopefully never happen.
Fandral is an idiot tbf: his solution was ALWAYS “grow a world tree” lol. He didnt understand how they worked however because he isn’t Ysera nor a direct student of her or Cenarius.
Besides that though there is a bit you can symbolically look at using the older lore blizzard kinda overlooked about Teldrassil. It overcame corruption and sought to help the land around it: in a sense, what Thrall wanted for his Horde (where as Malfurion was against making Teldrassil from the very conception)

Reported for what exactly? Hurting your feelings?

Blizzard, for F-sake, ban this guy.
Not really, considering the most people that died were a lot of those who refused to leave (priestesses of Elune) and those who were obviously not given priority. Tell me, you see any burning children up in that tree? I know I didn’t.
No, they didn’t, we just heard one Night Elf say that there were only civilians, the civilians didn’t stare down a Horde barrel of a grunt ready to shoot and given the choice to fight or surrender.
No it isn’t, seeing how I am sure that the people of Alderaan aren’t responsible for bringing the Legion to Azeroth, to shattering Azeroth and their race spawning one of the most evil people out there.
Don’t care.
Oh yeah, those retcons bother me the most…
So… Teldrassil only was good for the place around it and not to Azeroth as a whole? I understand that it is a bit confusing with all the retcons and neglected story-lines and lore, but this is like, one of the arguments people make: TELDRASSIL WAS IMPORTANT FOR AZEROTH, to which I ask: Really?
Trolling obviously, spam also works since you are contributing nothing to the argument.

Orcs can cleave through a ban like Orcish Catapults hitting a tree out in the ocean from a shoreline.
Yep, we are just that good flexes
Especially a Blademaster, seeing how you never know if you got the real one, or just a mirror image.
Go under report, and check under Spam, it literally says ‘does not contribute to the post’.
Highly doubtful considering that Azerite was sprouting out near it. But I see your point.
There is nothing in the guidelines that says I have to contribute to the argument. Nor do my posts qualify as spam.
They’re only spam to you because you don’t like them.
No, but it was good for the planet to have, especially when it’s literally dying. For all we know it and Nordrassil’s power could be used to help block up Azerite spread.
How exactly isn’t this contributing to the post. You’ve gone out of your way to type “reported” on this post. What does that have to do with Dazar’alor.
I’d report you, but I don’t feel the need to prove anything.
Usually Reported is part of my post, most of it arguing with people who are actually more intelligent then you. Reported in a post on debating on several point is different then:
Which is your entire post and has nothing to do with anything in this post or what we were talking about.
Highly doubtful considering that Azerite was sprouting out near it. But I see your point.
Oh trust me, given your childish behavior, it’s very applicable.
Yeah in the same storyline where all the Druids of the Talon who live on it (Druids of the Talon, for reference, are able to beat down the flames of the Firelands with their wind magic, see 4.2) are just not there for some reason, and where the Wild Gods just kinda watch from Hyjal like “Well it is our sacred duty to protect nature BUT NEUTRALZZZZZZZZ” and where fire could spread over a massive tree in minutes despite that tree being so full of water that what fell through the leaves @ it’s top from rainfall was enough for an entire thriving ecosystem, let alone the tree itself. Not even mentioning sap or anything like that, or Orcish Catapults hitting something THAT FAR AWAY.

So, you have anything to add, or should I just smack another Report in there?
Wasn’t there a whole thing? Somebody mentioned that shamans and the like were using their power to empower those flames… I mean at the end of the day it is still wood. And when you hit a big tree like that in multiple places with that much fire, well, it is only natural that flames would spread.
