The World Tree of Mount Hyjal, grown by the Aspects to seal the second Well of Eternity.

After the Sundering, Illidan secretly poured stolen water from the Well of Eternity into a lake on Mount Hyjal. To seal this new well, the Dragon Aspects planted an enchanted seed that grew into Nordrassil, and its blessing made the night elves ageless. Archimonde’s fall at its roots wounded the tree, and Forever’s Hyjal Summit raid climbs to the peak beside it.
