The High Elves had finally obtained a World Tree seed, and Sun King Kael'thas personally brought it back to Quel'Thalas. This was undoubtedly a momentous event worthy of celebration across the entire nation.
The island where the Sunwell stood bustled with activity once more. The High Elves were busy demolishing and rebuilding this former holy land, which had long since become little more than a burden. Every structure originally built around the Sunwell had now been slated for demolition.
According to the Night Elves' key requirements for planting the tree, every building on the island had to be torn down except for the Archmage platform on the hillside, leaving sufficient space for the World Tree to grow.
Naturally, the High Elves had no qualms about this. Tear it down! Why wouldn't they? They were just buildings. They would flatten the whole island if they had to!
Thus, while the colonial war in the neighboring parallel world of Draenor raged in full swing, the High Elves were holed up in their homeland, tearing down houses with equal fervor.
The entire populace joined in, while the Sunstrider Royal Court personally oversaw the effort. Demolition across the island progressed at an astonishing pace.
The Sunwell, the High Elves' sacred ground since ancient times, had lost all of its most potent essence, yet its remaining power still radiated vast waves of energy.
Back then, Illidan had used merely a single vial of water from The Well of Eternity to create a large lake of magic, enough to be called a miniature Well of Eternity.
The High Elves' Sunwell, however, had been created from at least several dozen vials of water from The Well of Eternity. Even after losing its purest energy, both its quantity and quality far surpassed that miniature lake on Mount Hyjal.
