TheWoWDBThis is the capital city for the Night Elf race. It is located in western Teldrassil.
To enter the city from outside of Teldrassil, it is necessary to teleport from Rot'theran Village, which is reachable from Auberdine in Darkshore by both boat and flight path.
The teleporter that links both cities has a pinkish/purpleish aura.

Darnassus is one of those cities that people dont like to use. It is located the furthest North possible, and is only convenient for Alliance leveling up in Darkshore, Ashenvale, and the likes.
Quite a shame...I hate cities that go unused, especially a nice city like Darn.
Note for newbies. The magic purple portal in Rut'theran Village is at the top of a hill at 55,89. The portal in Darnassus is on the west side of the Temple Gardens at 30,41.
