Amirdrassil in 10.2 - Night Elves from Darnassus Find Their New Home

In Patch 10.2, a significant development has taken place for the Darnassian Night Elves. Amirdrassil, also known as the "Crown of Harmony," has become their new home. This sacred tree is the focus of the latest patch and represents hope for the Night Elves. Amirdrassil was created from a seed that resulted from the combined tears of Elune, the goddess, and the Winter Queen, her sister. Filled with the souls of Night Elves who perished during the Burning of Teldrassil, this tree is currently growing in the Emerald Dream until it is large enough to be planted in Azeroth.

Teldrassil Survivors

Amirdrassil serves as a haven for the surviving Night Elves, and in Patch 10.2, players will encounter several of them who have already settled around the tree. With updated character models that bear the scars of Teldrassil's destruction, these Night Elves have not only found safety but have also managed to retain their former roles and professions from their time in Darnassus.

Here are some notable Night Elves who survived the catastrophic events at Teldrassil:

• Astaiawas: Known as the Darnassus fishing trainer, Astaiawas can be found in Amirdrassil. She mourns the loss of her sister, Aquinne, who was unable to survive.
• Mythrin'dir: With a role as a Trade Goods vendor in both Darnassus and Amirdrassil, players may recognize Mythrin'dir as one of the survivors they had the option to save during the Burning of Teldrassil scenario. He still carries the memories of the tragedy.
• Ellandrieth: Previously a General Goods vendor in Darnassus, Ellandrieth is now in Amirdrassil. He too was saved during the Burning of Teldrassil and expresses wonder and amazement at his newfound surroundings.
• Saelienne: Formerly the Darnassus Innkeeper and now serving as the Innkeeper in Amirdrassil, Saelienne also had the chance to be saved during the Burning of Teldrassil scenario. She welcomes weary travelers to rest under the comforting branches of Amirdrassil.
• Moon Priestess Lasara: Lasara, who was once the quartermaster of Darnassus, now holds the same role for the Dream Warders. She was already a known survivor of Teldrassil and continues to play a significant role in the Night Elves' journey.
• Leora: Quick to provide transportation services, Leora was the flight master in Darnassus and remains as one in Amirdrassil. She, too, managed to survive the attack on Teldrassil.
• Cylania: As an armor vendor in both Darnassus and Amirdrassil, Cylania stands as a reminder of the resilience of the Night Elves.
• Alassin: Residing as a Stable Master in both Darnassus and Amirdrassil, Alassin continues to offer his services to both new and experienced adventurers.

Additionally, two Druids of the Flame, Solarys Thorngale and Kery'nael Thorngale, have their own questline that delves into their survival after the fall of Teldrassil. They reflect on the physical and emotional toll the event had on them, highlighting the devastating loss they experienced.

Amirdrassil represents a symbol of hope for the Night Elves, offering them a new home to rebuild their lives in the wake of Teldrassil's destruction. It serves as a reminder of their resilience and determination to forge a better future. As Patch 10.2 unfolds, players can explore this new sanctuary and interact with the surviving Night Elves, witnessing their stories of survival and hope.
