It's here, after securing the area, that [[Malfurion Stormrage]] plants a seed that would grow into massive tree, known as a Sentinel Tree,<ref>[[General Taldris Moonfall]] dialogue</ref><ref name="MSD">[[Malfurion Stormrage]] dialogue</ref> that will shelter them and allow them to hold their ground.

||
| − | The '''elementals''' are potent and volatile [[elemental spirit]]s of pure elemental energies and were once the minions of the [[Old Gods]] (and some may still be). Many are commanded by the most powerful [[The Old Gods and the Ordering of Azeroth|elemental lieutenants]] called the [[Elemental Lord]]s — [[Ragnaros|Ragnaros the Firelord]], [[Therazane|Therazane the Stonemother]], [[Al'Akir|Al'Akir the Windlord]], and [[Neptulon|Neptulon the Tidehunter]] — whilst others are commanded by primordial elementals known as [[Elemental Spirits]]. |

| − | There are four types of elementals, each corresponding to the basic elements of the world: [[Earth elemental|earth]], [[Fire elemental|fire]], [[Air elemental|wind]], and [[Water elemental|water]]. Each elemental tends to be immune to damage from their element type. For instance, fire elementals are immune to fire damage. |

||
| − | When the Old Gods were defeated and imprisoned by the [[Titan]]s, the Titans banished all elementals to the [[Elemental Plane]]. The Elemental Plane is a violent and dangerous place where elementals of one type battle with all others in a never-ending conflict to expand their territory. It is no wonder, then, that some elementals attempt to escape from the unceasing struggle by traveling to [[Azeroth (world)|Azeroth]], where they establish solitary lairs in suitable environments. Such transplanted elementals find it difficult to shake off the warlike existence they lived on the Elemental Plane; they guard their new territory viciously and constantly seek to expand their boundaries. |
||
| − | |||
| − | All elementals speak [[Kalimag]] and, whether summoned to Azeroth or there of their own free will, wear a set of magic bracers. These bracers form automatically when the elemental leaves the Elemental Plane. They tie the elemental to Azeroth and allow it to exist outside of the Elemental Plane. If the magic of the bracer's is disrupted, usually by prolonged physical or magical attack, the elemental loses much of its power and may inadvertently return to the Elemental Plane.<ref>{{ref book |author=Blizzard Entertainment |authorlink=Blizzard Entertainment |title=[[Monster Guide]] |isbn=9781588469366 |pages=53}}</ref> |
||
| − | Over the centuries, they have been finding ways to return to Azeroth, and now run rampant in many areas, though it's usually only the weakest of their ranks that are able to slip through the "cracks". All but the most powerful elementals are mindless beings, who carry out tasks at the whim of their masters. Recently however, more and more elementals have begun appearing on Azeroth, serving an as yet unidentified purpose. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Some intelligent creatures of Azeroth have found ways to summon elementals and bind them to their will as servants or guards. [[Human]] [[mage]]s are fond of summoning Water Elementals for their brute force and imposing size. [[Ragnaros]] was summoned into the material plane by the [[Dark Iron Dwarves]] three centuries ago, and now resides in the [[Molten Core]], though he is but a shadow of his original self there. When he was first summoned into Azeroth by [[Sorcerer-thane Thaurissan]], the dwarf was killed by the unmitigated fiery powers that he had unleashed. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The four lieutenants, seemingly no longer under the Old Gods' control, are finding new ways to wage war against each other, and it's possible that one or more of their factions are working for the good of Azeroth. Though they fight each other, they still maintain an [[Abyssal High Council]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The elementals seem to have a complex royal power [[elemental hierarchy|hierarchy]]. The most powerful elemental beings have titles such as Baron, Lord, and Duke. The closest, most powerful offspring of the Elemental Lieutenants are even known as Princes and Princesses. |

Revision as of 05:49, 17 July 2011
Malfurion's Breach when first invaded.
The tree begins to grow.
The tree continues to grow.
Malfurion's Breach is the entrance point from where the Guardians of Hyjal invade the Firelands in the area known as the Molten Front. It's here, after securing the area, that Malfurion Stormrage plants a seed that would grow into massive tree, known as a Sentinel Tree,[1][2] that will shelter them and allow them to hold their ground. Once grown this outpost will serve as a permanent shelter for the druids that will be maintained here to watch over the realm, making sure that events like that happening now will not happen again.[2]
After the tree has grown for a time, the surrounding area starts to fill with life as grass begins to grow. Nearby to the west a moonwell has been constructed, just needing water from the Well of Eternity. After completing Quest:Filling the Moonwell, it is filled.
