The burning of Teldrassil is one of the most mysterious events of World of Warcraft. It was responsible for the destruction of the night elf capital city of Darnassus, killing countless innocents. During the announcement of Battle for Azeroth, Blizzard teased the burning of Teldrassil, and released a second animated short, Warbringer II. Sylvanas Windrunner, the night elf who caused Teldrassil’s destruction, is the one responsible for the burning of Teldrassil.

Sylvanas’ original plan in world of warcraft
It was originally Sylvanas’ plan to take Teldrassil, a powerful mountain that is currently controlled by the Alliance, and use it as a way station on the Alliance’s northwestern border. By doing so, she would be able to use Azerite to give her army an advantage in war. However, Sylvanas changed her plan once she learned of the beta version of the War of the Thorns quest. Now, she’s directing the burning of Teldrassil as a means of ensuring the Horde’s survival.
As Sylvanas’ main general, he remained in Lordaeron with Kel’Thuzad and the dreadlords. However, after the eruption of Mount Hyjal, Arthas stormed into Lordaeron and claimed that he had the power of the Scourge. Sylvanas then ordered banshees to attack the refugees and killed paladins in the paladin’s hq.
Her motivations for burning down Teldrassil
The motivations behind Sylvanas’ burning down Teldrassil in World Of Warcraft are many. Ultimately, her goal is to take down the Alliance’s most important supply line and devastate the Alliance’s morale. However, as the beta version of the War of the Thorns quest reveals, she was motivated by spite. This was an unintended consequence, as she had intended for the Teldrassil siege to end with minimal casualties.
The true Teldrassil once reached the skies above Kalimdor. It was home to Night Elves and served as their capital city, Darnassus. It was blessed by the dragons Ysera and Alexstrasza, and many Warcraft heroes lived there. But with the arrival of the Horde in World of Warcraft, Sylvanas ordered the burning of Teldrassil to force the Alliance out of Kalimdor, and the Night Elves escaped to Alliance settlements such as Stormwind City. They now live in Mount Hyjal.
The Alliance’s response to the destruction of Teldrassil
The Burning of Teldrassil is one of the central events in the newest War of the Thorns war between the Alliance and Horde. It is important to note that the burning of Teldrassil is not what many players thought it would be. While Sylvanas was likely the one to start the fire, it wasn’t a planned event. In fact, Sylvanas’ original plan was to kill Malfurion Stormrage, the co-leader of the Night Elves. He would pose a serious threat to the Horde during a war. However, he was unaware that Teldrassil’s destruction would change the balance of power.
The destruction of Teldrassil has several negative consequences. First, the Alliance is forced to evacuate its entire population to Orgrimmar, which is already crowded. In addition, the undead will need basic accommodations. This will be a significant blow to the economy. As a result, Sylvanas’ new plan doesn’t resolve the conflict among the Orcs.
The implications for the future of the Horde in world of warcraft
The burning of Teldrassil has left players unsure of their allegiances. While the situation is not exactly morally grey, it has left Horde players feeling confused. Whether or not to join the Alliance is a question that both factions must answer. It is unclear whether the new alliance will be able to survive in the long run, but players have been reacting with fan art, jokes, and harassment of writers.
Blizzard’s recent announcements have left many players unsure about what this means for the Horde faction. First off, Blizzard has a new leader for the Horde, the undead general Sylvanas Windrunner. He is a more warlike choice than the previous Warchief Vol’jin. Moreover, Blizzard showed concept art of Sylvanas, standing in front of Teldrassil. The new leader of the Horde faction is expected to continue the death toll of previous Horde leaders.
