The Aftermath of the Battle for Mount Hyjal

Following the Battle for Mount Hyjal, the ruins of Kalimdor left nature and the awakened druids restless. No longer did wildlife in Ashenvale and Darkshore submit freely to the elves, attacking many on sight and driving them into hiding. The unpunished death of Cenarius allowed the Horde to roam free, the Warsong Clan flourished. They craved the blood of nature and the rich lumber of the ancients in Ashenvale.

As the orcs settled in their desert, the druids under the leadership of Archdruid Fandral Staghelm attempted to restore balance by ordering the growth of Teldrassil. Though the plan was brilliant, nature did not bless it. Without the Well of Eternity to sap its roots, the new world tree was incapable of restoring the night elves to their immortality. Tumors and rot festered in Teldrassil. Vaedaris Steelwind, an ancient Warrior from the Kaldorei Empire, took up arms and fended off the savage uprising and brought as many Night Elves as he could back to Darkshore.

The Prophetic Warnings from Elune

Days past in Auberdine. Vaedaris' rest became less easy. Nightmares flooded his vision. Those involved thousands of dead elves strewn about Darkshore. Though they were part of the Alliance, few bodies from their numbers were present. The tree Teldrassil lay splintered and its bough wept over its trunk. The ashes an ashen black. Above he saw a black hole in the sky with an emerald and blue ring surrounding it, emitting light from the sun. The eternal night had set. A banshee from the Undead Scourge flew in the night sky, orchestrating with her hands a crude orc puppet who swung a heavy axe at the dying elves. His strings could be observed raising and lowering the blade at the puppetmaster's prodding.

Elun'dris

Suspicious of the Horde, Vaedaris recognizes dangerous movement in their tactical patterns. His main objective is to warn his kin and the Alliance of the danger they now face before they fealize the fate of their own destruction. He will not lose sight of either enemy and shall rally his people for this purpose.
