During the Fourth War, following the Burning of Teldrassil, Darkshore became a warfront, with Elune’s power covering the entire region in perpetual darkness under a lunar eclipse, and further empowering Tyrande Whisperwind and her people.
Although the rest of the Alliance was unable to directly assist them, the night elves and their worgen allies launched a naval and land attack upon the Forsaken as they fought over the region. The old Highborne settlement of Bashal’Aran is established as their de-facto regional base of operations and capital, the Blight is used as a weapon by the Forsaken to cover much of the occupied lands towards the shoreline, and outposts such as the Ruins of Auberdine are apparently destroyed and rebuilt throughout the course of the conflict.
The battle ultimately ended in the Alliance’s favor, with the forces of the Army of the Black Moon decimating the Forsaken and goblin troops, leaving Bashal’Aran and Darkshore itself in Alliance hands once again.

The beauty of this zone is also marked by the loss of my most dear zone in World of Warcraft, Teldrassil. Perhaps I am too invested emotionally, I used to play here a lot in my early life, and I still haven't forgiven Blizzard for their decision to gradually destroy the entire Elven zone, and as a result, Cataclysm and BfA were my least played WoW expansions. But as much as I hate the present without the old Darkshore and Teldrassil, I still need to cover this zone in this channel. The music is haunting, with clear references at the Classic Teldrassil tracks (just like some tracks in Val'sharah, in Legion). Even Jason Hayes has returned to contribute to the Night Warrior theme. I am curious to hear your opinion about this zone now.
It's a rare occasion when I post, but it would mean a lot if you can support the channel with any means that you have. Come and watch again when you can, like the videos, comment and of course contribute with money. Your gold is welcome here since I don't make much from monetization and I have few important expenses. More details in the video description.

1 st!!!
I do enjoy playing the zone but as someone who mainly played vanilla when it first came out it's very bittersweet. I love the Elune dark moon and the night elves forces. But the destruction of teldresil and the damage to darkshore is the worst thing that happened in the game.i just wish the NE victory was reflexed in game. The music is great tho
Is it weird that I'm feeling nostalgic for BFA haha, the gameplay might be flawed but the zones, music, and atmosphere of the expansion were amazing
A other good vidoe dude keep it up you rock for the allaince
As every Horde player should level up in the Barrens, the same can be said about Darkshore for the Alliance. I would love to know number of hours that I have spent in this zone over the past 15 years that I have been playing World of Warcraft. I do prefer the pre-cataclysm version, but there is still a haunting beauty to the place even with all of the changes over the years. And the music is likely the reason for my nostalgia. Thank you for sharing this and all of the effort that you have been putting into these videos over the years.
Thank you so much! Will you add it to the top of your "All…" playlist, please?
thank you for making this!
any chance we could get a track list? loving some of these pieces
Toujours aussi cool merci 👍
I've been a fan of your work for many years now. I wholeheartedly thank you for existing and providing so much for us all(despite getting so little in return). ❤️
I would sleep happy every night if you uploaded just the ambience…
Now that Everness doesn't upload content anymore, it's SO COOL that I've discovered your channel ! Amazing work, helps alot for working :]
Hey Meisio! Do you play classic currently?
For some reason i see Forsaken theme of this event more fitting Night Elves than the Night Elves one. It has some darkness and grief yet beauty, which displays nature of Elune and Night Warrior: the loss of homeland and at the same time lust for revenge.
26:50 always gets to me deeply. There is something about this song and the burning of Teldrassil.
Such a beautiful atmospheric touch near the end of the video, both for the choice of music and scenery.
🙁

Thanks Youtube!
Simply Amazing ~_^
tus videos me dan nostalgia, ya no juego wow por razones de tiempo, cuando ya me aburría de hacer mazmorras o de buscar las llaves para poder entrar a una, recuerdo siempre que iba a los parajes que me parecían mas lindos y disfrutaba un rato.
I absolutely love BfA graphics. I agree with you though, the elven zone was my first as well and it saddens me to see it this way. Excellent work as always man, loved it!
This is one of my favorite soundtracks for a zone
So good while doing some soul sucking charting at work. I like the ambiance so much and the dark moody music. As always Meisio touch adds to the watching and listening pleasure.
Why is Blizzard so obsessed with ruining Night Elf zones. First it was Ashenvale and Darkshore, now Teldrassil… There's barely any Night Elves even left. The last thing I want them is to become purple Humans.
Let's hope we get a different zone or something atleast. Maybe restore Dire Maul and make it our capital…
ruined one of the best zones in the game
OH MY GOD, what happened to beautiful Ashenvale, Astraanar, and the likes ? I havent played WOW in well over 10 years and my nostalgia is shattered :O
Darkshore, my 2nd favorite 2nd tier place to level, right behind Westfall.
P.S. Why hurt animals when you can go vegan?
I wish Darkshore had three time zones, precata, cata, bfa
I hope the renewal choice will bring back all the beauty of the night elves homeland…
(For Teldrasil) 🍀
Can you make a remix/longer version of the "Bashal'Aran Alliance" track? Its end is so epic!
Back at it again
Damn, the Nelfs didn't deserve this.
the retail version is too cheesy, dull and epic. It has no identity. Except for the dark moon
21:04 The moment when Lord of the Ring's elven theme and Starcraft's protoss theme met one another 🙂
P.S. The protoss' melody I speak about is "The Firstborn" by Jason Hayes, Mike Patti, Glenn Stafford.
Can't I?
