Blood elves (Warcraft). Blood Elf Known blood elves

This faction consists of the former High Elves of Quel'Thalas, who suffered numerous losses in the fight against the Scourge during the Third War.

High Elf civilization - seven thousand years old

The light magical kingdom lived peacefully in the depths of the forests of northern Lordaeron. But five years ago, the dead Scourge invaded Quel'Thalas and the peaceful life of the elves was disrupted once and for all. Led by the evil death knight Arthas, the Scourge destroyed the mystical Sunwell, thereby taking away from the elves the source of their arcane power. The elves revised a lot in In their relations after bloody conflicts, they united and returned most of their native lands, calling themselves “blood elves.” courageous Prince Kael'thas Sunstrider, the blood elves are looking for new sources of mystical magic to protect their lands and are working on methods of fighting the immortal Scourge.

Unlike the traditional water and ice spells of the high elf society, the new means are the study of demonic fire magic. But recently, more and more residents of Quel'Talas are beginning to practice secret magic, which is much more useful in everyday life than flames and demons.

The architecture of the blood elves is a beautiful combination of rounded shapes and columns, their designs are natural, flowering, flowing, animal. They have learned to control the fluidity of water, the shape of their fountains does not correspond to our concepts of physics, it is something inexplicable. The blood elf flags represent a phoenix, as these creatures seem to have a deep connection with the blood elves.

Even the Second War became a boiling point, the cause of strife and colossal hatred of the enemy. The high elves officially left the Alliance, believing that the Alliance could prevent the destruction of Quel'Thalas by the orcs. But even during the Third War, the Alliance did not lift a finger to prevent another destruction of Quel'Thalas by the hated Arthas. Lord Garritos showed his true colors as a racist and Kael'thas realized that the fate of his people was not with the Alliance.

As a result, blood elves are zealous ultra-patriots, believing that they can only trust themselves. Unlike their ancestors, blood elves do not behave calculatingly and calmly; they make quick decisions and don't care about the consequences. They consider the best argument in conflicts and even with a hint of conflict to be force. Force should be manipulated for oneself and for the benefit of all blood elves.

Most blood elves are not crazy or evil - they simply use fire against fire. The most powerful spellcasters from the ranks of the blood elves are indeed a little out of their minds, such as side effects abuse of magic.

And in everyday life, blood elves love to use magic - enchanted brooms fly around their houses, which themselves sweep and throw away garbage, patrol golems roam around the elven capital of the Silver Moon, moving platforms fly around tall buildings, on which you can very quickly and without excessive physical effort, bypassing the stairs to get to any floor.

Background

Ten thousand years before the Third War, during the reign of the Night Elf queen Azshara, among the elven people there was an elite sect of mages called the Highborne, who worked directly with the Well of Eternity. During the War of the Ancients, most of them were loyal to Queen Azshara, but a small group realized that an alliance with the Burning Legion was dangerous and fled to join the Kaldorei Confrontation. After the Great Schism, most of the Highborne left Kalimdor and settled on the eastern continent. There they founded the kingdom of Quel'Talas and began to call themselves high elves. They also created the Sunwell (eng. Sunwell) and switched to a daytime existence instead of a nighttime one. Because of this, their skin eventually lost the violet color of the night elves and became more human-like.

During the Third War, Prince Arthas led his undead army against them, destroying Quel'Thalas and desecrating the Sunwell. Most of what remained was burned by the elves themselves to give the Scourge a psychological victory. Almost 90% of the high elf population was destroyed in the conflict In memory of their fallen brothers, most of the survivors renamed themselves Blood Elves and vowed to avenge the dead. Once again cut off from the source of magical power, the blood elves began to suffer from a lack of magic. The Alliance regarded this as a betrayal. sentenced to death. Prince Kael "Tas Sunstrider led the Blood Elves to freedom, into the deserted territories of Outland, the remains of the world of Draenor, and swore allegiance to Illidan, who promised to give him new source magic, taking energy from demons. Together with the naga, Illidan led the elves to conquer Outland, also gaining the friendship of the almost-destroyed Draenei. Then the elves and Illidan attacked the ice mountain of the Lich King to destroy him. But their plans were thwarted by Arthas, who severely wounded Illidan, which caused the retreat of the nagas and blood elves; Arthas then merged with the Lich King, becoming a single being.

But not all the blood elves are in Outland with Illidan - some remain in Azeroth. Having learned to drain the magic from creatures born in the Spinning Nothing, they were able to reclaim their beloved lands of Quel'Thalas. Silvermoon City was rebuilt, and the local elves dream of returning to Outland to reunite with Quel and achieve the golden future promised to them.

Unfortunately, Kael'thas's decision to accept the help of the naga and use demon magic makes them enemies of the Alliance. Therefore, the blood elves in Azeroth asked the Horde for help to reach the Outlands. The orcs and tauren sympathize with the blood elves, who depend on the magic of demons. The trolls, being ancient enemies All the elves of Azeroth look at them with suspicion. The Forsaken worked closely with the blood elves to clear the territories of the former Lordaeron from the Scourge, but the elves still do not trust the undead. Lor "Temar Theron" was Sylvanas's main assistant during the Second Battle of Quel'Thalas, and Many Forsaken and blood elves come from that battle and have established transport devices between Silvermoon and Undercity to quickly travel between the two cities.

However, not everything was so simple. The blood elves who remained in Silvermoon suffered from a lack of magic caused by the explosion of the Sunwell. The restoration of the city was slow, and the trolls realized that their main enemy was weakened and intensified their attacks. That’s when a messenger arrived from Prince Kel, who spoke about the bright future of Kel’Talas. This greatly accelerated the restoration of Silvermoon and contributed to the destruction of the Amani trolls from the forests Eternal Song.

Vengeful Wanderers

For nearly 7,000 years, high elf society centered around the sacred Sunwell, a magical spring created from a vial of pure magical energy from the first Well of Eternity. The energy of the Sunwell fueled Quel'Thalas, and the magnificent kingdom of the high elves flourished in the dense forests north of Lordaeron.

During the Third War, the high elves of Azeroth were practically exterminated. The Scourge army, led by the death knight Arthas, broke into Quel'Thalas and killed almost ninety percent of its population. Arthas then used the Sunwell to resurrect the necromancer Kel'Thuzad, irreversibly corrupting the source.

Fearing that the poisoned well would completely destroy his people, Prince Kael'thas Sunstrider gathered a detachment of defenders of Quel'Thalas and destroyed the source, preventing disaster. The High Elves were removed from influence dark energy Sunwell, but in his absence they also experienced terrible suffering. Kael'thas desperately sought a way to help his people, whom he now called the blood elves, and to do so he traveled to the shattered lands of Outland. There he formed an alliance with the renegade demon Illidan Stormrage, hoping to replenish the elves' loss of their source's blood.

Kael'thas promised his people a return to Quel'Thalas, but time revealed the falsity of his words. During his wanderings throughout the Outlands, the prince found himself corrupted by the evil - the dark, all-pervading energy of the Burning Legion of Demons. Unbeknownst to Illidan, Kael'thas fell under the influence of the Legion's commander, Kil'jaeden.

Obeying the will of the new master, the lost prince nevertheless returned to Azeroth and captured the Sunwell, intending to use it to bring Kil'jaeden into his world. Ultimately, Kael'thas was killed before his madness destroyed Azeroth. Following Kil'jaeden's defeat, Velen, a draenei soothsayer, cleansed the Sunwell using the Light-filled heart of the fallen naaru, transforming it into a source of both magical and sacred energy.

The revival of the Sunwell opened a new page in the history of the blood elves. Some of them are still unsure if they are ready to overcome their addiction to arcane magic, but others are embracing the changes in Quel'Thalas. Time will tell whether the blood elves will be able to avoid repeating the tragic mistakes of the past.

Woods of Eversong

The magnificent Eversong Woods have been called home by the blood elves for millennia, but control of this wondrous land comes at a price. Possessed by the mysterious Sunwell, Prince Arthas and the army of the Scourge during the Third War paved their way through the heart of Quel'Thalas with fire and sword, leaving a terrible scar on the body of the Woods of Eternal Song. Since then, the elves have been trying to drive out the undead from their lands and clear the forest of traces of Arthas’s invasion, but the designated goal is still far away. The safety and prosperity of the Eversong Woods will be the first steps towards a prosperous future for Quel'Thalas.

Blood elves(eng. Blood elves) or Sin"dorai(English Sin "dorei) - a race formed from the high elves of Quel'talas, most of whom were destroyed by the Scourge during the Third War. In honor of their fallen brethren, the survivors named themselves blood elves or Sin'dorei, which means "children of the blood" in the Thalassian language.

The blood elves of Silvermoon joined the Horde ahead of the Burning Legion's new attack on Azeroth. When their prince Kael'thas went to Outland in search of a new source of magical power, Lor'themar Theron became the temporary ruler, under whose leadership and with the help of the Forsaken the blood elves were able to oust the Scourge from the lands of their kingdom. Later, the true intentions of Kael'thas, who tried to summon Kil'jaeden to Azeroth, were revealed, and the former subjects abandoned the prince. In the absence of an official leader, Silvermoon is ruled by Lor'themar Theron, Halduron Lightwing and Supreme Master Rommath.

Story

During the War of the Ancients, most of them were loyal to Queen Azshara, but others realized the short-lived alliance with the Burning Legion and joined the rest of the night elves.

After the Great Schism, most of the Highborne left Kalimdor and settled on the eastern continent. There they founded the kingdom of Quel'Talas and began to call themselves high elves. They also created the Sunwell and switched to a daytime existence instead of a nighttime one. Gradually, their skin lost the purple color of the night elves and became more like human ones.

During the Third War, Prince Arthas led his undead army against them, destroying Quel'Thalas and desecrating the Sunwell. Most of what remained was burned by the elves themselves to give the Scourge a psychological victory (and to protect the survivors from persecution and complete extermination). Almost 90% of the high elf population was destroyed in the conflict. In memory of their fallen brethren, most of the survivors renamed themselves the Blood Elves and vowed to avenge the dead. Once again cut off from the source of magical power, the blood elves began to suffer from a lack of magic. the help of the Nagas after the war was regarded by the Alliance as a betrayal and they were sentenced to death.

But their plans were thwarted by Arthas, who severely wounded Illidan, which caused the retreat of the naga and blood elves; Arthas then merged with the King of the Dead, becoming one. being.

But not all the blood elves are in Outland with Illidan - some remain in Azeroth. Having learned to draw magic from creatures born in the Twisting Nether, they were able to reclaim their beloved lands of Quel'Thalas. Silvermoon City was rebuilt, and the local elves dream of returning to Outland to reunite with Quel and achieve the golden future promised to them.

Appearance

On average, sin "dorei are slightly taller than humans and much thinner in bone. Most of them have chiseled, regular facial features. Quel" Dorean heritage is expressed in light skin and golden hair, although among the sin "dorei there are elves with unnaturally white and unexpectedly dark complexion - this is all the influence of the demonic energy used; hair color varies from black to red and light shades.

If the high elves bright eyes blue, emerald and violet shades, then the irises of the Shin Dorei always glow poisonous green. The more often they resort to demonic magic, the more saturated this shade is.

Magic addiction

Both high elves and blood elves, regardless of class, status or origin, have a fascination with magic and have some need for it. But, unlike the Quel'Dorei, all Sin'Dorei take away magical power from other creatures (especially demons, the most attractive sources of power). Having tried this once, the elf is no longer able to return to the meager energy of the artifacts. There has never been a case where a sin'dorei became a high elf again.

If a blood elf allows his lust to overcome his mind, he is irrevocably transformed into a Wretched - a maddened creature only vaguely resembling his former self, driven only by the desire for magic.

Culture

By their behavior and manner of dressing, blood elves emphasize that they and the high elves are completely different nations. Sindorei prefer red and black robes with witchcraft symbols; they wear bizarre or provocative hairstyles, thereby going against the norms of the harmonious and reserved society of the high elves. Numerous earrings and body designs are not uncommon among blood elves: runes are applied to the skin as a means of protection against demons or simply as decoration. However, when the need arises to visit an Alliance city, blood elves often change their appearance to a more respectable one in order to pass for Kveldorei.

Most blood elves focus on learning demonic and fire magic, as opposed to the traditional water and ice spells of high elven society. But recently, more and more residents of Quel'Talas are beginning to practice secret magic, which is much more useful in everyday life than flames and demons.

Blood elf architecture is a wonderful mixture of curves and columns, their designs are natural, flowering, flowing, animalistic. Their fountains seem to transcend the boundaries of natural laws, creating and bending water into impossible shapes. The blood elf flags represent a phoenix, as these creatures seem to have a deep connection with the blood elves.

Tensions after the Second War increased into burning hatreds. The high elves officially left the Alliance, believing that the Alliance could prevent the destruction of Quel'Thalas by the orcs. During the Third War, the Alliance did nothing to prevent another destruction of Quel'Thalas by Arthas. In the end, Lord Garithos and his racist behavior towards the elves was the last straw in the cup of patience, and Kael'thas realized that the fate of his people was not with the Alliance.

As a result, blood elves are zealous ultra-patriots, believing that they can only trust themselves. Unlike their ancestors, blood elves do not behave calculatingly and calmly; they make quick decisions and don't care about the consequences. They believe that power should not be earned, but rather taken. Power must be manipulated for one's own benefit and for the benefit of all blood elves.

Most blood elves are not crazy or evil - they simply use fire against fire. The most powerful blood elf spellcasters have truly gone mad, as this magic corrupts.

As for everyday life, the blood elves use their magical abilities here too - enchanted brooms fly around their houses, which themselves sweep and throw away garbage, patrol golems roam around the elven capital of the Silver Moon, tall buildings moving platforms fly along which you can get to any floor very quickly and without wasting effort on tiring climbs of stairs.

Magic addiction

When Queen Azshara discovered the Eternal Well, she and her subjects began to be attracted by a certain energy emanating from the depths of this well, subsequently a small group of Quel'dorei (night elves) began studying this energy, many learned to use it and create magic, but the more they practiced magic the more dependent they developed on the energy of the Eternal Well.

When the Eternal Well was destroyed by Malfurion (Illidan's brother), the world was split into pieces (the so-called Great Schism), the Firstborn were forced to leave the current Kalimdor due to persecution from other elves, during long wanderings across the seas, many of them died from magical hunger, They eventually found refuge in the north of the Eastern Kingdoms, they named their homeland Quel'thalas and created a new source of magic - the Sunwell.

After the destruction of the Sunwell by the forces of Arthas and the Scourge, the blood elves again had to suffer from their acute dependence on magic. Due to the constant consumption of magic over thousands of years, this addiction has increased many times over.

Yet blood elves try to keep their desires and needs under control, as those who relapse and lose control of this addiction become Miserables. Wretched) and fall into madness and debauchery.

After the cleansing of the Sunwell, the elves became active in Dalaran. Sunreaver's Quarter is a Horde quarter in Dalaran. The blood elves, led by Aethas Sunreaver, seek to dislodge the Silver Alliance of the high elves of the Alliance from Dalaran. The goals of the elves are unknown.
