  • The massive forested peak of Mount Hyjal was the original refuge and sacred place to the Wild Gods, protected and watched over by Freya shortly after the ordering of Azeroth. The dark trolls, ancestors of the night elves used to live in the networks of deep caverns stretching under Hyjal.
    The Kaldorei have held this great mountain sacred and it remained untouched by their sprawling empire by the orders of Queen Azshara. The public believed it was out of respect for the strong ties the mountain had with nature, but the Queen secretly feared the Wild Gods that resided on it. When the first Well of Eternity was destroyed in the War of the Ancients, the resulting implosion triggered the Great Sundering. Mount Hyjal endured and the night elven resistance, who had escaped to the Summit, emerged to rebuild their society - though without arcane magic this time.
    After the Sundering, Illidan Stormrage created a new Well of Eternity atop Mount Hyjal. After the night elves learned of this, they planted the world tree Nordrassil on top of it. It was blessed by three dragon aspects: Alexstrasza, Nozdormu, and Ysera, and served two purposes: to keep others from abusing the magic of the new Well, but also to prevent the second fount’s power from growing too great over time. Nordrassil grew deep roots into the earth, spreading life-giving energies and healing the land around the mountain. It also empowered the Kaldorei against diseases and aging. Illidan was in turn imprisoned in one of the barrow dens under Hyjal.
    With the impending Cataclysm, the World Tree's well-being was threatened once more. The Dragon Aspects gathered here to bless Nordrassil in order to speed the process of rejuvenation of the world tree and the world. Learning of this Deathwing unleashed Ragnaros and his minions on the land. With the aid of the Twilight Hammer, they burst into Hyjal from the Firelands within the Elemental Plane, and prepared to set Nordrassil ablaze, a conflagration that would endanger all life on Azeroth. The Guardians of Hyjal revived Goldrinn, Aviana, and Cenarius from the Emerald Dream, as well as saved Tortolla from imprisonment at the Twilight's Hammer's hands, and fought off Ragnaros. Hyjal later served as the invasion point for Cenarion Circle's attack on the Firelands.

    Happy Brewfest everyone!
    Starting September there are some World Events in WoW which are most dear to me: Brewfest, Hallow's End, and Winter Veil. I'm enjoying this period of the year in WoW, although I don't see many of you in the game (understandable). I'll keep posting content, my mission is not done yet and I'll see you on the Livestream (ua-cam.com/users/Meisiolive ) - hopefully, I'll finish some Brewfest content in the following days.
    Unrelated to what I've said above, I am continuing the Cataclysm videos, this time with Mount Hyjal. I was happy to refresh my memory with the rich lore from this zone. Pretty cool zone, some lore in the video description.
    Do you like this video? Give it a like, listen to more (playlist links below), subscribe. Do you want to support my work? Details in the video description (New: I've created 2 more tiers in the Membership zone).

    • @MrVaeron
      @MrVaeron 2 роки тому +2

      People underestimate the work they put into reinvigorating the whole world (which was a huge clusterfucked mess back in vanilla) and tend to forget it as a whole, since it was no new shiny Realm like Shattered Realm, Northrend or so. Also, the bad taste of 4.3 Dragonsoul really seems to persist the test of time. Dont know what Blizzard was thinking, but having this raid as the final conclusion to the epic Deathwing story line was kinda embarassing. I still have nothing but good memories of Cata, it was a fun expansion, finally worgen and goblins as playable class, good raids (until 4.3), great class balance and prob. the best zone they ever created (Vashj'Ir). But the best thing people tend to forget, which was the case till Legion: You could get away with being a Raid logger (if not going for Hardcore Region First whatever) or better said, you could play, when you wanted and doing alts was no deal at all. Its funny, how they praise stuff like Artefacts, Dailys and Mythic-Boxes in Legion, but with Legion Blizz really started to force you to log in daily, if you didnt want to fall behind in power, which also killed playing alts for so many people., including me.

      ​@@MrVaeron The beginning of Cata left a bad taste in people's mouths who wanted to continue with the brain-off difficulty of Wrath of heroics, then 4.3 just had a disappointing raid. The 2 Deathwing fights were well-produced, but not quite fun or memorable enough to make up for the rest of the raid being so neglected. It was also just the point where people got burned out of the game too; there was no fundamental gameplay system that was different from Cata and Wrath other than the content being "hard". Looking back, I can clearly see I took a long break in MoP for no good reason other than me being tired of the game.

    Mount Hyjal is one of those epic places you dreamt about when playing Vanilla. I always loved the look and concept of this area of the game. I think cinematics make it more justice though.

    Coming down off the mountain toward the end of the quest line and seeing the burnt out valleys phase into new growth is still one of my favorite questing moments in all of WoW. Cata had lots of problems but Hyjal was not one of them.

    i remember whenever understand that i had to go in a cave whenever it was the barrow dens quest where you talk to that emerald dragon, i must have been 8 at the time, cataclysm was mostly a having fun expansion for me, but when my father finally showed me the way to finish the quest i was more surprised over the fact there were "many maievs" inside the cave.
