Kael'thas Sunstrider
Designation: Blood elf
Prince Kael'thas Sunstrider is the son of the late King Anasterian
and a direct descendant of the high elves' first king, Dath'Remar
Sunstrider. He was born into wealth and privilege.
Unrequited
A wizard of great skill and power, he became a high-ranking member
of the Kirin Tor. His continuing magical studies brought him to the
Violet Citadel, where he met Lady Jaina Proudmoore while she was
still an apprentice. He was immediately drawn to the brilliant and
lovely teenager, though the difference between their ages filled him
with guilt and self-doubt. Eventually he courted her; however, he
had little success in winning her regard. She remained dedicated to
her craft above all else.
When rumors began to circulate that Jaina had given her heart to
Prince Arthas Menethil, Kael'thas was deeply grieved. In time Jaina
and Arthas parted ways, but it was all too obvious to Kael'thas that
they still cherished feelings for one another. Kael'thas and Jaina
would never have more than an awkward friendship.
Last Scion of the Sunstrider Dynasty
Years later, Arthas became a death knight in the Lich King's service
and led the Scourge into Quel'Thalas, leaving a swath of destruction
in his wake. He defiled the high elves' fountain of magic, the
Sunwell, and left it utterly drained of power. The surviving high
elves quickly became sick and apathetic.
King Anasterian was killed in combat against the undead. Only a few
pockets of resistance remained to fight the Scourge. Prince
Kael'thas was pursuing his magical studies in Dalaran when news of
the invasion reached him. With his father dead, the prince hastened
home and took command of all the surviving high elves he could find.
He realized that his people had become addicted to the Sunwell,
which had constantly bathed them in arcane magic for thousands of
years.
Hostility of the Alliance
In honor of their fallen kin, Kael'thas decided that he and the
other surviving elves would rename themselves the sin'dorei, or
blood elves. The blood elves swore they would have vengeance on
Arthas and the Scourge. In spite of this bold resolve, Kael'thas and
his people suffered greatly in the absence of the Sunwell.
The prince led a group of his healthiest fighters to join the
battlefront, where they hoped to fight the Scourge alongside
Alliance forces. Yet the blood elves were greeted with suspicion and
hostility. When Grand Marshal Garithos ordered Kael'thas and the
blood elves to fight local Scourge forces against nearly impossible
odds, a group of naga led by Lady Vashj unexpectedly offered
assistance that turned the tide of battle. Unfortunately the
Alliance soon learned of Kael'thas' association with the naga and
condemned him and his people as traitors.
Journey to Outland
Imprisoned and sentenced to death, the blood elves were rescued by
Vashj. She claimed that Illidan Stormrage could help the blood elves
with their addiction to arcane magic. By this time the elves were
suffering greatly, and Kael'thas felt that he had little choice but
to agree. He and his followers followed Vashj to Outland.
There they discovered that Illidan had been captured by Warden Maiev
Shadowsong. Vashj and Kael'thas worked together to free Illidan, and
then Kael'thas beseeched Illidan for a cure to the blood elves'
addiction to magic. Illidan had a different proposal in mind,
though: in return for the blood elves' loyalty, he would teach them
how to drain arcane magic from other sources, including demons, and
thereby feed their painful addiction.
It was an offer Kael'thas felt he had to accept. He was certain his
people would die without either a cure or a new source of magic.
Kael'thas thus pledged his allegiance to Illidan. Today most of the
blood elves in Outland have learned of the pact that Kael'thas made
with Illidan. The blood elves still on Azeroth, on the other hand,
have little knowledge of the agreement and would probably be
appalled to learn of their leader's association with Illidan.
Largely unconcerned with what their Azerothian brethren might think,
the blood elves currently living in Outland serve Illidan.
Most of Kael'thas' group chose to stay in Outland, but Grand
Magister Rommath was sent back to Azeroth with a message of hope for
the blood elves still in Quel'Thalas. He relayed tales of a glorious
promised land, spread the teachings of Illidan--teachings that
Rommath smoothly attributed to Prince Kael'thas--and planted the
notion that Kael'thas might one day return to lead his people to
paradise. Rommath has since remained in Quel'Thalas to help rebuild
and await the prince's return.
Rommath remained in Quel'Thalas to help rebuild and await the
prince's return. Thanks to Rommath, the blood elves on Azeroth
learned how to drain arcane magic and feed their addiction. As they
returned to health, they praised their absent prince and dedicated
themselves to learning more. Rommath and the new order of elven magi
made great progress in tutoring their brethren to manipulate arcane
energies. Soon the spires of Silvermoon City rose skyward once
again, powered by volatile magics. The blood elves have even begun
retaking portions of Eversong Woods. Emboldened by the promise of
Kael'thas' return, the prince's weary people now focus on regaining
their strength and forging a new path into an uncertain future... |
