High Elves History
The High Elves – Quel'Dorei in Thalassian, are cousins of the Night Elves, Kal'Dorei in Darnassian. Their story begins so in the same way, there are ten thousand years ago. The Elves and the Well of Eternity Ten thousand years ago, the world of Azeroth cradled only one massive continent, known as Kalimdor, surrounded by the infinite, raging seas. At the dark continent’s center was a mysterious lake of incandescent energies. The lake was the true heart of the world’s magic and natural power. Drawing its energies from the infinite Great Dark beyond the world, the Well acted as a mystical fount, sending its potent energies out across the world to nourish life in all its wondrous forms. In time, Elves made their way to the edges of the mesmerizing, enchanted lake. These Elves, by the Well’s strange energies, built crude homes upon its tranquil shores. Over time, the Well’s cosmic power affected the strange tribe, making them strong, wise and virtually immortal. The highborn and the lowborn Yet, as the seemingly endless ages passed, the elves’ civilization expanded both territorially and culturally. Their temples, roads, and dwelling places stretched across the breadth of the dark continent. Azshara, the elves’ beautiful and gifted Queen, built an immense, wondrous palace on the Well’s shore that housed her favored servitors within its bejeweled halls. Her servitors, whom she called the “high-borne”, doted on her every command and believed themselves to be greater than the rest of their lower-caste brethren. Though Queen Azshara was loved equally by all of her people, the high-borne were secretly hated by the jealous “low-borne”. Sharing the priests’ curiosity towards the Well of Eternity, Azshara ordered the educated high-borne to plumb its secrets and reveal its true purpose in the world. The high-borne buried themselves in their work and studied the Well ceaselessly. In time they developed the ability to manipulate and control the Well’s cosmic energies. As their reckless experiments progressed, the high-borne found that they could use their newfound powers to either create or destroy at their leisure. The hapless high-borne had stumbled upon primitive magic and were now resolved to devote themselves to its mastery. Although they agreed that magic was inherently dangerous if handled irresponsibly, Azshara and her highborne began to practice their spellcraft with reckless abandon. Many of the elf scholars warned that only calamity would result from toying with the clearly volatile arts of magic. But, Azshara and her followers stubbornly continued to expand their burgeoning powers. As their powers grew, a distinct change came over Azshara and the high-borne. The haughty, aloof upper class became increasingly callous and cruel towards their fellow night elves. A dark, brooding pall veiled Azshara’s once entrancing beauty. She began to withdraw from her loving subjects and refused to interact with any but her trusted high-borne priests. A great war is committed which leads to the destruction of eternity well. The gigantic explosion that followed ravaged the land and hid the heavens ... The split of the Kal'Dorei and Quel'Dorei As the aftershocks from the Well’s implosion rattled the bones of the world, the seas rushed in to fill the gaping wound left in the earth. Nearly eighty percent of Kalimdor’s landmass had been blasted apart, leaving only a handful of separate continents surrounding the new, raging sea. At the center of the new sea, where the Well of Eternity once stood, was a tumultuous storm of tidal fury and chaotic energies. This terrible scar, known as the Maelstrom, would never cease its furious spinning. It would remain a constant reminder of the terrible catastrophe and the utopian era that had been lost forever… The few elves that survived the horrific explosion rallied together on crudely made rafts and slowly made their way to the only landmass in sight. The weary heroes agreed to lead their fellow survivors and establish a new home for their people. As they journeyed in silence, they surveyed the wreckage of their world and realized that their passions had wrought the destruction all around them. It was clear that Azshara and her elite high-borne followers had been smashed to the bottom of the raging sea. Still, there were many high-borne amongst the survivors who made their way to the shores of the new land. As the centuries passed, the elves’ new society grew strong and expanded throughout the budding forest that they came to call Ashenvale. However, many of the original high-borne survivors grew restless. They fell victim to the withdrawal that came from the loss of their coveted magics. They were tempted, once again, to tap the energies of the Well of Eternity and exult in their magical practices. The elves unable to bring themselves to slaughter so many of their kin, decided to exile the reckless high-borne from their lands. High-born adopted the name. Forever after, highborne elves would be known only as the High Elves, Quel'Dorei, which meant "children of noble birth" in Thalassian. The lowborne elves adopted the name Night Elves, Kal'Dorei, which meant “children of the stars” in Darnassian. Quel'Thalas and the Sun Well Dath'Remar Sunstrider and his followers boarded a number of specially crafted ships and set sail upon the seas. Though none of them knew what awaited them beyond the waters of the raging Maelstrom, they were eager to establish their own homeland where they could practice their coveted magics with impunity. The high-borne, or ‘Quel’dorei’ as Azshara had named them in ages past, would eventually set shore upon the eastern land men. They planned to build their own magical kingdom - Quel'Thalas - and reject the night elves’ precepts of moon worship and nocturnal activity. |
