Before the Titans came... before the world knew magic, war, or the great races... Azeroth gave birth to something older than all.
A small tree sprouted from the planet's very core-not a World Soul, not a Titan creation, but Azeroth's own primal will to live.
When the Titans arrived, they discovered the tree. They chose to leave it untouched. Eonar, the Life-Binder, cherished it deeply-this first life of Azeroth.
The tree slept for millions of years... until 15,000 years before the First War, it awakened.
From a land that should have sunk into the sea, the tree raised a new continent-and from its essence, it shaped the first Elves.
Beautiful as starlight and ancient as time, these Elves emerge as the First War looms, carrying a power and history that may change the fate of the world.
This is the legend of Yvhanar, the First Root of Azeroth-and the forgotten Elves born of its awakening.
