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 them he poured into a small lake at the top of Mount Hyjal, forming a new Well of Eternity.
After learning of this, Jarod, who had not retreated 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 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, guarded by Maiev's newly formed Watchers.
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 harnessed the vast power of the new Well of Eternity to imbue the 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 experienced 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 time 6,800 years ago, Suramar, who had a relatively sufficient supply of magic power, was considered lucky.
Prince Tortheldrin, who was guarding Elrethalas, had 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 demonic addiction that all highborne could not escape.
In addition to the above two, the capital city of Zin-Azshari sank into the sea, Senlaluo, located in the central wilderness (Barren Land), was missing, and there was no news about the seat of the sky, Rasalazar.
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 had been exhausted, and they had to turn their attention to the outside.
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 crystallized the wild animals in the Borean Tundra with magic and absorbed energy from these crystals.
Perhaps these young dragons were just playing for 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. Dragon Concubine Saragosa even sternly warned them not to play with fire. .
In desperation, the upper elf of Shandalar, whose symptoms of magic addiction became more and more serious, decided to take a desperate risk and sneaked into the Demon 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 stored 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 upper elves to succeed successfully.
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 more greedy than they should have been.
They stole several powerful magic weapons from the Demonic Hub's treasury, thereby triggering the alarm spell set by the Blue Dragon clan.
Although the highborne escaped from the Nexus in a hurry, their theft 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 anger.
Shandara has no chance of winning in a battle with extraordinary creatures like dragons.
In desperation, the Highborne came up with a plan.
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 mages.
Rushing to use unproven spells 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 crystallization 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. 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 locations where the saronite 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, forming a new world tree, which he named Andrassil, the Snowcrown.
Many people are aware of subsequent developments.
Staghelm's intentions were good, and he did succeed in containing the spread of the Saronite iron veins.
But the cost is also huge.
Andrassil's roots penetrated too deep into Northrend, inadvertently touching 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, directly leading to the rise of the Nightmare King Xavius.
After the change occurred, Staghelm was annoyed and took action himself, reluctantly cutting down Andrassil.
The fallen world tree came to be 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 Crystal Song Forest rely on the gentle natural energy they exude to gradually mediate the violent arcane power that pervades Crystal Song Forest.
Yes, this special phenomenon is based on the same principle as the miraculous effect of Arcandor, the Miracle Tree, in curing magic addiction. It 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 was almost gone.
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 raging arcane energy.
In other words, Jingge 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.
