| − | '''Mount Hyjal''' is a level 80-82 zone in the current expansion, ''[[World of Warcraft: Cataclysm]]''. Hyjal is under heavy siege by [[Ragnaros]], who is trying to destroy the [[World Tree]]. [[Malfurion Stormrage]] is returning from the [[Emerald Dream]], and commands the armies of [[Cenarius]], known as the [[Guardians of Hyjal]]. The zone makes extensive use of the terrain [[phasing]] technology.<ref>http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/cataclysm/features/hyjal.html</ref> |

| − | Before ''World of Warcraft: Cataclysm'', two versions of the Hyjal zone were present in the game. The first one in terms of lore-chronology is the map used for the [[Caverns of Time]] instance "[[Battle for Mount Hyjal]]". This map, however, was a retouched version of the zone which was present in the game from the very beginning but inaccessible via normal means. Nevertheless, it used to be possible to access pre-Cataclysm Hyjal via [[Winterspring]] with some skillful rock climbing, or a glitch that allowed you to die close to the zone's entry gate then resurrect on the other side<ref>http://kxmode.com/wow/hyjal.asp</ref>. However, after [[Patch 2.1.2]], Blizzard implemented a "[[No Man's Land]]" teleport that removes you from the zone. It was still possible for a shaman to chain-cast [[Far Sight]] from neighboring zones such as Winterspring to see inside Hyjal. |

| − | The ruins of the Alliance and Horde bases from the Battle of Mount Hyjal do not appear in the Cataclysm-era Hyjal, most likely either due to retconning or game mechanics. In place of the former Alliance bases are the [[Grove of Aessina]] and the [[Shrine of Goldrinn]], and the [[Circle of Cinders]] is located in place of the former Horde bases. |

| − | ==Description from official site== |
||
| − | ''For years, Mount Hyjal and the wounded [[World Tree]], [[Nordrassil]], have remained cut off from the rest of [[Azeroth (world)|Azeroth]]. Sealed away within a protective field of dense foliage by [[Malfurion Stormrage]], Nordrassil has been slowly recovering from the devastation of the [[Third War]], when Malfurion called upon the tree's power to destroy the archdemon [[Archimonde]] and repel the forces of the [[Burning Legion]] and [[Scourge]]. Now, with the impending cataclysm, the World Tree's well-being is threatened once more. From the [[Firelands]] within the [[Elemental Plane]], [[Ragnaros]] and his minions prepare to burst into Hyjal and set Nordrassil ablaze -- and the conflagration would endanger all life on Azeroth.'' |
||
| − | |||
| − | ''In [[World of Warcraft: Cataclysm]], players will have the opportunity to explore the newly reopened Mount Hyjal as Azeroth's heroes, with the help of [[Ysera]], Malfurion Stormrage and [[Hamuul Runetotem]], are called upon to push back the armies of the Firelord, banish Ragnaros to the Elemental Plane and lay waste to the twilight dragon stronghold in nearby [[Darkwhisper Gorge]]. This all-new level 78-82 zone will feature multiple quest hubs, phased terrain and quest lines, portals to micro-zones within the [[Firelands]], an all-new raid dungeon, and much more.'' |

||
| − | Players will be able to enter Hyjal by way of [[Moonglade]], to take on a series of high-stakes quests in a historic location alongside some of Azeroth's most renowned heroes. With a longstanding rivalry among the night elf leadership threatening to undermine the campaign against [[Deathwing]], players will quickly discover the task of defending Nordrassil is more daunting than they had anticipated. In order to succeed, they must seek out the help of extremely powerful allies: the [[Ancients]].'' |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===The Ancients=== |
||
| − | To protect Nordrassil and heal the devastation the invading fire elementals are causing across Mount Hyjal, players must first recapture the shrine of the wolf god [[Goldrinn]]. The ogres surrounding the shrine will not leave peacefully, but seizing the shrine will allow players their first opportunity to infiltrate the Firelands and shut down a key Twilight portal, slowing the advance of the nearby [[Twilight's Hammer clan|Twilight's Hammer]] in Hyjal. With the first portal dismantled, players will soon be sought by the wilderness spirit [[Aessina]] to assist in cleansing and healing the nearby forest, ultimately returning the land to its former splendor. This small victory, however, isn't enough to deter the Twilight Remnants from attempting to scorch the forest once more. As you struggle to keep these foes at bay, you'll also need to help the [[Guardians of Hyjal]] -- a new neutral faction of druids and worshipers of the Ancients -- repopulate the forest with animal life. It's even rumored that [[Malorne]] has been spotted in the wilderness. Perhaps further investigation is necessary.... Amid the chaos, the [[Druid of the Talon|Druids of the Talon]] will need players' assistance to resurrect the goddess of winged creatures. Players begin the process by helping to slay a group of black dragons and closing a second Firelands portal from within. Just when you think things might be heating up, you'll need to fight through a burning night elf town to shut down the third and final portal with the assistance of the turtle god [[Tortolla]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Darkwhisper Gorge=== |
||
| − | Your successes in Hyjal will ultimately lead you to the assembly of the Ancients, who have set a plan in motion to bring a powerful ally and demigod back into this realm. Before that can happen, however, you will need to infiltrate Darkwhisper Gorge disguised as a follower of the Twilight's Hammer, acting quickly to sow discord within the entrenched faction, weakening it for the coming struggle. Only time will tell if the Ancients' plan is a success -- but you'll need to do your part if there's any hope of saving Mount Hyjal from the twilight dragons, Ragnaros, and his minions of the Elemental Plane.<ref>http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/cataclysm/features/hyjal.html</ref>'' |
