Battle of Mount Hyjal

The Battle of Mount Hyjal (or the Battle for Mount Hyjal) was the final bloody conflict that concluded the Third War. The battle was the culmination of years of fighting between the various mortal forces of Azeroth and the demonic and undead armies of the Burning Legion, and saw the demons' invasion end in decisive failure.
Specifically, the event took place as part of the invasion of Kalimdor phase of the war, where Archimonde struck directly at the World Tree Nordrassil on Mount Hyjal as part of his endgame. The battle began when a mortal coalition of night elves, Alliance, and New Horde elements arrayed themselves before the World Tree to halt Archimonde's advance. Though they were unable to stand against the Legion indefinitely, they aimed to buy time for Malfurion Stormrage to prepare a proper defense.
After terrible fighting, the conflict would end dramatically when Archimonde himself finally did reach Nordrassil. An army of wisps, called by Malfurion, was successful in igniting the World Tree's enchantments in a large explosion, vaporizing the demon commander. In addition to closing the Third War, this victory also marked the end of the Age of Chaos, and the Legion's greatest defeat since the War of the Ancients. For many years, relations between the mortal races would be defined by their cooperation at Mount Hyjal, which saved Azeroth from certain destruction. Wowpedia -
