Teldrassil and Nordrassil are probably references to Yggdrasil of Norse mythology (possibly in combination of Norse and Yggdrasil = Nordrassil).
Yggdrasil in Norse mythology was the world tree that was supposed to connect the universe and it's 9 realms. In Teldrassil, as well as Nordrassil / Mount Hyjal, one encounters a great tree.
Just food for thought :)
Which, if you think about it, makes perfect sense. It's a giant friggin' tree holding you above the ground itself. From where would you expect to see ore laying around but on top of a forest canopy? 'Nuff said.
