The Ice Elves Story
There is the story of the Ice Elves, from it's very begining to the race complete formation

#1 The Elmental War
There is a countless time ago, before the arrival of the grand Titans Gods in Azeroth, the planet was lived by the calls elementals, these barbaric native creatures of the planet were divided in countless factions, of which the mightiest were: the elementals of Fire, Water, Land, Wind and Thunder. As the name itself already says that the elementals were tribal creatures done from the pure elements of the nature, in spite of they have the stature of a human one (aprox. 1,5 m) they were extremely mighty. Epic battles were fought to every day between the factions elementals for the control of Azeroth, the most devastating were between the tribes of the fire and of the water. When the grand Titans reached the planet the elementals resisted the colonization of the mighty Gods, the tribes of the fire of the whole planet joined and launched violent attacks against the armies of the Titans, soon the warriors of the water, of the land, of the thunder and of the wind, in this order, began to launch offensives also, so they created the Elemental Alliance, all the tribes of the world, enemies or not, joined against the Titan Gods. It delayed decades until the armies of the Phanteon managed to contain part of the attacks. After some months the elementals of the water realized that the Titans only wanted to improve Azeroth and joined to the cause of the Phanteon, the elementals of the fire revolted by seeing most of his allies being defeated, and one of them even up to joining the enemy, then they begun the forbiden rituals to invoke his ancestors to help in the battle, it was then that the first soldiers of the Burning Legion entered in Azeroth, it was of this way that Sargeras knew the Phanteon's plans. However even with the help of the arrived demons of the Twisting Nether the elementals of fire were defeated by the army of the light of the Titans and the elementals of water, but the power of this tribe was so immense, with the union with the demons, that the Gods were not able to eradicate them, then Arion the Father, ordered that they were prisoners in the most obscure and isolated mountain of the region, from where them they should never go out, and so it was. As a reward of the help, the Phanteon gave the power of the knowledge to the tribes of the water. Then Azeroth was established, the Titans deposited part of his power in the planet creating the Well of Eternity, the protection of this power was given to the Night Elves on the command of the demigod, sent by the Phanteon, Cenarius, there was given him the Ring of the Guardian, a mighty artefact created by the Arion himself, that give to his bearer the power of controlling the unbeatable Revenants, the tribes of the water, using the knowledge given by the Gods, evoluted and a part created a marvellous city inside the great White Mountain, and they became the Spirons, elementals tht could control the ice and owners of many other powers, the Spirons became watchers of the planet and the elementals of the water guardians of the seas. And so for many and many years Azeroth and his people lived in peace, but you know that the peace is not anything lasting...

#2 Kmaniah
Peace in Azeroth lasted little, a new battle would be going soon to fall (literaly) on the planet in a little time. Everything begins in a planet, in an extremely distant galaxy from there. Sargeras after he knew of the plans of the Phanteon of creating a perfect planet, decided to have all that power left there by the Titans, but since he already had a defeat in Azeroth, when the elementais of fire and his demons were imprisoned by Arion, the Black Titan knew that it would be going to need a bigger force than could make possible for him to enter at the place, then he looked in a very distant place, a grand planet called Kmaniah. Sargeras and his legion were prevented from entering in Azeroth, since the Titans created a barrier around the planet that prevents any creature of the Nether from entering in it, so he would need that someone was conjuring a doorway between the Nether and Azeroth, the people of Kmaniah, the kmah, were the only powerful enaught, that Sargeras knew, to do it. Then he decided to try an agreement for the kmah to enter in Azeroth and to open the doorway, but the kmah were not accepting the ideals of the Legion and they resisted the control of Sargeras, the merciless leader of the Legion then ordered the invasion of Kmaniah, one of the most devastating wars that the universe never had seen, it was ready to begin.
One day after the meeting between the messengers of the Legion and the leaders of Kmaniah, began to open demon gates across the whole planet, fire began to fall of the skies the seas become blood, the mountains, volcanoes, plantations set alight, and the day never again returned, the kmah only had the only certainty, that was still only the beginning, a small demonstration of the devilish powers of Sargeras, that the real war was about to begin, for weeks Kmaniah burnt and was in darkness, the generals were not taking away the eyes of those demon gates, waiting for the vision of the hell that would go out from them, then demons fell from skies, stones on fire that when reached the ground were turned into giants wrapped on flames, that demonstrates only the thirst of killing, were the feared Infernal, when the kmah generals were caught of surprise for the rearguard they only coulf assist their soldiers been crushed by those creatures. And in that the first day of war, or better, the first day of massacre in Kmaniah ended.
In the dawn, what never camed, since the night was eternal, of the second day the kmah armies were devastated, what remained of their strength they used to get back to the cities, only then the Legion's real army passed by the demon gates, the ground was shuddering with the soldiers' infinity marching towards the cities, the walls fell open in few days and without another way out the kmah escaped from planet, which was left behind was destroyed by the enormous explosion of Kmaniah caused by Sargeras in his fury. Few thousands of kmahs left, began to wander the galaxy for years, wen up to which for a small interference of the destiny, they landed in a world... called Azeroth.

#3 The Crystal
A little time before the arrival of the kmah in Azeroth, but much time after the destruction of Kmaniah, Sargeras was still looking for a way of entering in the planet, it was then that he realized what he should use of someone already in the planet for carrying out his plans. The Shadowy Titan turned his attention for the mightiest people of Azeroth: the spirons endowed of all the knowledge given by Arion, the spirons were the only able ones to open the doorway for the Nether, however Sargeras knew that those people were totally loyal to the Phanteon and it would never agree in helping him, on the other side the leader spiron was extremely coveted by power, the devilish leader of the Legion, then created an artifact that was containing a power never seen before by the spirons, yes, Sargeras deposited a considerable part of his black power in the little artifact, a small and blue crystal, which Sargeras called of Isciphen, in the demonic language of the Eredars it means: Piece of Hell, obviously the spirons did not know of that. The Black Titan then sent the crystal to the spirons's leader, he with all his greed did not hold and accepted the present, Sargeras gave a time for the spirons to test the incredible power that was given to them. With time the wisdom and the power of the spirons did not stop growing, it was something extraordinary for them, but the leader began to realize that the more they were using the crystal, the more they grew dependants of his energies, then he summoned the Gods and asked their advices, Brianel, the archangel of Arion, told the spirons that that small crystal was something devilish and that it was not safe to use it, even with attempt of doing the good. But the spirons were already cursed by their power of Sargeras, the leader then had the brilliant idea to remove a small fraction of Isciphen's power and to deposit it inside the great white mountain, of where it would supply the continuity of the spiron life, and using all of his strength he buried the crystal kilometers down the ground, do no one could find it anymore. Frustrated Sargeras, promised vengeance, however even free from the demonic influences of the crystal, the spirons were dependants of it's energy what his leader deposited in the mountain, and were condemned living in the proximities forever, if a spiron got to far from that energy he would be going to decay up to dying, since his soul was needing that one to survive.
For many years then the spirons lived this way, wen in a day an enormous object like a stone fell on fire from the skies, fearing what it might be, the spirons stood prepared to attack anything that could get out of that thing, then some minutes a creature with a strange appearance went out of inside the "stone", without thinking two times the spirons captured the creature and took it to the White Mountain, fearing that he was a messenger of Sargeras, the spirons locked up it in a cage of ice, and there he stood for hours disordered, when it finally woke up, the creature looked at the sides and only saw that flying things around him. Actually the one that the spirons had captured was a kmah scout, sent by the rest of the nation in mission of recognition of the new planet that them, after years seeking a new home, had finaly found, when noticing that the kmah had been captured soon informed the others that there were hostile creatures in the planet, and that an attack should be initiate to clean the territory, but actually the spirons were just concerned, because they didn't know what exactly was the creature that they arrested. Until that more of those stones began to fall arcoss the whole spiron territory, obviously they were not stones and yes mystic ships of the kmah, the army of Kmaniah soon armed support bases to supply the eminent attack to the mountain. The began the War of Isciphen, part of the kmah armed in the proximities of the mountain while the rest set up bases of support kilometers from there, wen the desperate spirons saw those monsters getting ready for the war, stood without knowing what to do, it take not long for the kmah to begin to fire their catapults against the entrance of the White Mountain, the great natural fortress of the spirons, the leader spiron then summoned the great Glacial Giants, enormous creatures of ice, that earned life through the powers of the spirons, led by Hunk the greatest and strongest of them, the giants devastated with the siege weapons of the kmah, the kmah troops soon beat in retreat for the recently built camp, for the rest of the day there was not battle, the giants were protecting the entrance of the mountain and the spirons there inside discussing the next step and trying to interrogate the prisoner, but without results. The kmah were rearranged in the camp and preparing for another attack in the morning, on the following day, one more kmah offensive, but that time in great scale, the giants were resisting the attacks and the spirons saw themselfs forced to enter in the combat, however the spiron people didn't have any experience in battle, they were extremely dedicated just on reaching more knowledge, it was a disaster, without the control of their forces in combat the spirons created an unimaginable devastation, but luckily to them the kmah retreated again, then the spiron leader decided to finish the battle once and for all, he ordered that the glacial giants to find and destroy the kmah base, it didn't take to long for that the kmah to be found, since the gigantic ships were seen easily, specialy by the giants, it was another massacre, most of the kmah army was wounded and they were defeated quickly, some got to escape for the mountains of the north and there they were hidden per months, their camp was totally devastated, the ships were all destroyed, putting an end to any chances of the surviving kmah escape from the planet. With fear of new battles the spirons decided to expand their forces, they built, with the giants' help, countless strongholds around the mountain and they started to train so they could become more warriors than scholar, because they knew that the fight steel not over, but they were not premonitions just on the kmah, but also an unlikely shady future that motivated them to such trainings... The kmah built a gigantic city in the top of the mountains of the north, there they stood, they grew and they strengthened, however they knew that other attempt to end with the spirons would just be another massacre, it was when again Sargeras had contact with Azeroth, through the bad use of their powers, what have demoniac origins since it comes from the crystal Isciphen, in the battle the spirons, unintentionally, created forms of demoniac lives in Azeroth, arrivals of countless cataclysmal rifts between dimensions (Azeroth and the Nether), those life forms became spies of the Black Titan, as soon as he knew that the kmah was in Azeroth, Sargeras tried again use them for the evil, however as they were very weak, it was not possible use them to open the portal, then the leader of the Legion would just try do them of weapons to make revenge against the spirons, reviving the energies of the crystal Isciphen he attracted the kmah shamans for the same, when exhuming the crystal, the kmah saw a new victory chance against the spirons,the shamans took it to the city and they began to study it's powers, it do not take long to their lust for revenge and their hate did the demoniac energies of Isciphen took control of them, in little time the kmah were corrupted and they became demons, however few of of them, including the king, Azdron, refused to use the crystal, because they had felt a touch of Sargeras in it, Azdron tried to convince the shamans to leave the crystal, but didnt work, the shamans were already corrupted and they exppeled aqueles those who stood against Isciphen,then Azdron led the loyal to him to the mountain's foots. The corrupted kmah moved forward towards the White Mountain, from a distance the glacial giants only saw a shadow cover the horizon, that was approaching and growing, the kmah army didn't stop, and as soon as they reached the first spiron fortress, they took it to the ground, without hesitating, without thinking, they were taken by the hate, afraid the spirons and the giants tried to resist, but the power of the kmah was besides the reachable and them didn't stop moving forward, taking fortress for fortress to the ground until they reached the White Mountain, in a gigantic wave of fury and power, the shamans killed and destroyed everything around, millions of spirons and giants were killed with an only movement of the shamans, taken by the fear the spirons ran inside of the mountain and sealed her, the glacial giants were made of slaves by the kmah that went back to the city to the north. Per years Sargeras governed that area through the corrupted kmah, but their power grew so big with the time, that the kmah rebelled against Sargeras, they began huting dow the Titan's spies across the entire territory, until that they finaly captured the last spy and bacamed free from Sargeras, but they stood corrupted and with that demonic form that they were transformed.

#4 The Rise of Ice Flow
When he realized he had lost control over the kmah, Sargeras soon began planning a new way of taking over the power in Azeroth. That's when he noticed a new energy growing strongly in the center of the planet, was the great and powerful elven queen, Azshara, The Black Titan realized the potential of the young elf and saw that his heart was seeking more power than anything, Sargeras then decided to offer her what she whas looking for, and offered to Azshara the teachings of the arcane arts, the source of pure power, after many events the Burning Legion had finally managed to invade Azeroth with all its strength, but the night elves who were against Azshara defeated the demons destroying the portal created by the queen, the best was that the portal has exploded just in time in which Sargeras was going through it, and it turned out to "kill" the Black Titan, the explosion was so strong that it divided Azeroth from one giant continuity of land to three major continents, the Eastern Kingdoms, Kalimdor, and Northrend.
After all the events of War of the Ancients, a division of Azeroth on three continents, the birth of the World Tree, the exile of the high elves, the banishment of arcane magic by Cenarius, Furion and Tyrande, among other things, that have been unleashed after the war, a man, or rather, an elf, dared to practice the forbidden arts, your name, Saphirot Shadowsoul, but the old witch was not long without being discovered, Furion and Cenarius did not take long to find him and punish him. Saphirot was banished to the very top of Azeroth, the newly formed icy continent of Northrend. The night elves warriors put him on a ship and took him to the frozen continent, there they went through a huge cave and on the other side, in the endless plains of the western peninsula they left him to die, the elven warriors collapsed the only entrance to the cave where they came from and Saphirot had no other choice but to roam the ice in search of shelter.
The old witch walked till he drop, in the middle of a terrible blizzard he fell, fortunately he was found by a group of kmah that roamed the area, Saphirot was taken to the foothills where the loyal to the kmah king Azdron lived. The next day the exiled wizard awoke and found himself surrounded by creatures never seen by him before he tried to ask for the creatures where he was and what had happened, and a strange and unexpected way the kmah understood Saphirot's words, it was like if something has put the knowledge of the elven language in their minds, as if fate had made it, it was impossible to explain what happened, then Azdron told everything to Saphirot, and likewise the strange old man understood what the kmah king said. The day was of hope in the hearts of both sides, in Saphirot to have escaped death in the blizzard and Azdron to feel the immense power that came from the wizard, imagining that it could be the salvation of those who were corrupted by Isciphen, perhaps was fate that brought the exiled within reach of the Kmah, but weeks passed and Azdron did not mention about the other Kmah at the top of the mountains, maybe he was trying to gain the trust of Saphirot, or even his friendship.
After a month of living Azdron called Saphirot to talk in his cabin, there the kmah king told the whole story, since when they reached the planet to the time he and his followers were expelled by the corrupted shaman, the old witch didn't thinked twice, and before Azdrong finishes the story, Saphirot offered to try to free the corrupted from the influence of the crystal. Saphirot then saw a chance to take vengeance upon the night elfs, he planned to release the other kmah and in turn become their leader to take them to war against those who exiled him. The same day the witch began to climb the mountain, after three long and grueling days of climbing he finally reached the giant kmah city in the mountains, he saw creatures quite different from those he met at the foot of the mountains, they had a dark appearance, were larger, with black fur, eyes red as blood, huge tusks that could pass through a body without difficulty, but the worst was the demonic energy that emanated from their souls, though Saphirot was "well received" by the corrupted, and was taken to the palace of the council, where the shamans gathered, there the evil and scary shamans questioned Saphirot for hours about his intentions in their town, the old wizard always found a way to omit his real mission there. Using his powers, he entered the powerful but fragile mind of the shaman and convinced them to let him see the crystal known as Isciphen, mesmerized by the powers of Saphirot, the shamans led him to the crystal chamber and left the witch with Isciphen. Saphirot took the glass and went to the boardroom where the shamans were waiting, when he arrived there he took Isciphen in his hand and started a spell of purification so powerful that nearly killed him, the sorcerer has withdrawn any influence that the crystal had on the corrupted kmah and that the demons had on the crystal, Isciphen become the object of pure and great power in Azeroth. Then the silence took those mountains for a long time, the kmah stopped, literally stopped moving, stopped talking, stopped to think and to breathe, were fragments of demonic power in their souls that were leaving their bodies and going all to the soul of Saphirot. The kmah and the crystal were purified, there was nothing demonic in them, but i can't not say the same about Saphirot, he absorbed all the power that corrupted the kamh and the crystal for him, the old man became the most powerful mage who has had existed in Azeroth, but strangely he did not suffer any influence of Sargeras.
The kmah thanked Saphirot and asked him to call Azdron and others back to town, and it was done, the kmah again became one nation, and as he had planned, Saphirot was crowned the supreme leader.
The years passed and the new kmah leader took them to the center of the plains and there with only five or seven words at a phenomenal demonstration of his power, saphirot lifted an entire city, which was named Ice Flow, the kmah went out of the mountains and moved to Ice Flow, the Glacial Giants were responsible for taking care of the old city at the mountains.
The kmah began to wonder, "Why would Saphirot get us out of our old city and would bring us here?" The true intentions of the wizard was, from stories told by Azdron years ago, he was now looking for a second great civilization that lived in the frozen north in ancient times, the Spirons. Increasingly Ice Flow expanded toward the former White Mountain, and Saphirot was getting closer to completing his plans.
Approximately seven years have passed, it was when Saphirot ordered an expedition, but now toward a place where the kmah would never dare enter, the White Mountain, the powerful wizard, using almost all his power, destroyed the magical barrier that the spirons created at the entrance of the mountain, so he personally accompanied by Azdron and some of the wisest shamans, entered the mountain, the darkness of the caves embraced them as they were increasingly toward a powerful source of energy that the shaman felt, until they found themselves surrounded by amazing creatures floating around them, they were the Spirons, their leader appeared to punish those who dared to enter the forbiden caves of the White Mountain, but when he approached Saphirot, he felt a little of Isciphen's power that came from his soul, and more, he saw the crystal in Saphirot's hands, but he saw that the old wizard who appeared to lead the kmah was not corrupted by the crystal, had no influence on he, and even the crystal itself was free of the demonic influences, then the leader of spirons bowed to Saphirot.
But all was not well, the kmah and the spirons still had memories of the terrible war between them in the past and would never accept to join forces, even if it were on the order of Saphirot, was when the mighty wizard, in his great wisdom, called Azdron to seek his son, a few hours later off the mountain, Saphirot made a cut on his wrist, took his own blood snd gave it to the leader of Spirons and the son of Azdron to drink, and calling out to all Ice Flow to listening, said, "Here we become one family, Azdron your son is now called Sarion, spirons start to know and call your wise leader from now as Scarriot. Here are my two sons, Sarion and Scarriot, symbolizing the union of spirons and kmah into one nation, may my blood, that is now in those two people, break the old hatred between you, and make them see that together we will be one."
Upon returning to Ice Flow, the spirons began to help in expanding the city to the White Mountain, over time Ice Flow has become the largest and most beautiful city in the world, Saphirot strangely started to study the arts of necromancy and spiritualism, his people were intrigued by this, but Saphirot did not said anything about it. It was while on a normal day of the eternal winter of Northrend, which Saphirot addressed the central square of Ice Flow, called Scarriot and the already strong and growing Sarion, the shamans and the spirons and the Glacial Giants, "My sons, wise shamans , powerful spirons and mighty Giants, now I ask for a little of your power and strength, for today Ice Flow will be completed, today will become a full nation"relying on the words of the powerful Saphirot, all made what he asked, the people gave part of their strength and power: "My latest research on the mysterious arts of necromancy and the spirits opened the door to complete this city. Now I call the spirits of those who were loyal to me in the past, come to me my apprentices, I call the power of the ice that comes from within each inhabitant of this city, I call the power of death, may it brings me back those who were loyal to me, from the water that generates life and which became ice, solid and stable as flesh, I bring life to the souls that were lost in death, I bring the missing piece to complete Ice Flow, I create the ICE ELVES !!!". A strong wave of energy covered the city, the numerous statues of ice that adorned the streets began to turn into flesh and come to life until a new breed came to Azeroth, a race that had the wisdom of the Elves, the power of spirons, the strength of the kmah and nobility and courage of the giants, was born the Ice Elves.

#5 Memories
Saphirot was probably the last follower of Sargeras in Kalimdor, he was well respected by his followers, yeas he had many loyal followers, he spread the words of Sargeras to almost two thousand of worshipers.
The day he was expelled Saphirot was about to complete his greatest achievement and foremost duty as a priest of Sargeras, as the mighty Black Titan was "killed" the duty of Saphirot was to bring the successor, the son of Sargeras, known as the "Prince of Darkness" or simply "The Burning Shadow".
He was finishing the ritual of invocation when Cenarius and Malfurion came into his lair, a cave which tunnels were deep inside of Mount Hyjal, his servants, obeying the order of the master, attacked Cenarius as soon as he appeared in the great hall of rituals, they did not expect to defeat the demi-god, but only entertain he until Saphirot could bring the Prince of Darkness to Azeroth, and succeeded, even Cenarius, the powerful demi-god, with the ultimate druid Malfurion was able to pass through the fanatic servants of the witch.
Then the night became darker, then the eternal moon over the forest stopped shining, then life was lost into darkness, a shadow wrapped in flames appeared in the center of the great hall of rituals in the Caverns of Hyjal, was the son of Sargeras that got through the portal of Saphirot. Saphirot gave a subtle and evil little laugh and said, "Fear now you scum, cry, and tremble before my work, I brought you your end, I brought you hell, now you will pay for what you did, the wrath of vengeance of Sargeras will hover over you and consume your souls." Almost dying, having exhausted most of its strength in the ritual, Saphirot ordered the Prince of Darkness to destroy Cenarius and the other, but strangely for him, the devil did not give a step, just watching all those in the hall, then Cenarius warned Saphirot: "Fool, fool wizard, Sargeras just used you Saphirot, whatever he promised in return, you will receive nothing! The son of the evil that is here before you came into this world only to destroy it, that includes you too." The wizard stared at the evil creature and insisted his orders: "Fucking monster! Obey your master, do what I say, kill them! Do not just stand there, I brought you to this world, you must obey me!" The creature looked him in the eye, and soon the witch began to wrestle with a stunning sound in your mind, Cenarius seeing the creature was distracted and got up quickly attacking the Son of Sargeras, but he was very strong and with one motion threw Cenarius on tyhe wall nearly killing him, in it Saphirot recovered, got up and said: "Cursed creature, you betrayed me, but will pay for it, your time in this world has run out of son of Sargeras!" The Prince of Darkness turned around and as if he was laughing said with his voice that would fill up with fear in the bravest of warriors: "Fool elf, druid powers do not take effect on the son of Sargeras, I'm the hell in this world, you can not bring me down, weak and..." Interrupting the demon, the old witch with a strong laugh said, "The fool here is you devil! You forgot who brought you here? I'm not a druid! I broke my connection with nature a long time ago, to serve your father, and now i will use the powers he has taught me to kill you. I brought you here, and I'll banish you back. Go back to the confines of where you came from, go back there or die here!" And in a flash of light the creature disappeared, Cenarius rose again and walked to Saphirot: "See now? How your masters were treacherous, see how they just think on them? But you still have chances to get back to us Saphirot, you give up the teachings of Sargeras, you can still redeem yourself." The wizard with a dark look, looked Cenarius without remorse and said: "I, redeem? And back to your nonsense, you are weak Cenarius, all you do not know how to have the power in your hands, do not know how. I do not regret having served Sargeras, even though he was a scoundrel, if it were not for him I would not have all that power, all that strength I have today! I do not regret anything I did, I will never be one of you, never be weak as you ..." angry Cenarius interrupted Saphirot: "Then you will be banished from these land wizard! You do not deserve to live among us, is corrupted by lust for power, is not worthy of being one of us! Consider an exile Saphirot, you will be sent to the icy continent, and there you will stay until you regret this or die!"
This was what happened in the day of the exile of Saphirot, a terrible remind that came to his mind when he used the powers of Isciphen as never used, while giving life to the ice elves. Maybe, just maybe, this was the reason he was not corrupted when it absorbed the demonic energies of the crystal to purify the kmah, he had struggled against the influences of Sargeras and freed himself from them in the past.

#6 The Sins of a Father
Glorious, unbelievable, magnificent, are small words to define what happened that day, on the day the ice elves were born, all were dazzled when they saw those statues come to life, and Saphirot had completed his plans for his kingdom, the time for payback against those who exiled him was approaching. Despite his kingdom and people were complete, Saphirot needed one last thing, to finish his line, he needed a son, someone who could take his place as king if he happened to fall in battle.
By having exhausted all his forces in the creation of the ice elves, Saphirot went to the palace, leaving Sarion and Scarriot with the duty to organize the ice elves in the society of Ice Flow, for days the city was expanding to accommodate the new people that was now living there, and Saphirot only watched from the balconies of the palace, over the days, some of the ice elves started to demonstrate different behaviors, if not strange, compared to others, they isolated themselves, changed the day and night, and were the only ones to attend the spirons libraries the city, and show a tendency to magic. Saphirot called all these "different" for a meeting in the main hall of the palace, after hours of conversation, the leader of Ice Flow discovered that, even without wanting it, he gave a gift to a people created specially for the war, among the thousands of ice elves warriors, one hundred had little mystical characteristics, the young wizards of Ice Flow. Saphirot deprived them of work in the city, he built a huge temple in the eastern wall of Ice Flow, and there he left his young wizards for just devote their lives to the study of magic, then was created the society of the Dark Mages of Ice Flow. Saphirot could never understand why they had the power to control the magic of shadows, but it also was not important.
Among the Dark Mages, one stood out, Istal the first ice elf who had presented the features of magician, Saphirot became interested in Istal powers and began to train him personally, not only in the arts of the shadows, but in all the knowledge the leader had on the arcane arts and even on concepts of politics. Isl was appointed lord of the Dark Mages of Ice Flow and gained the status of Count, in Elvish "cr" and became known as Cr Istal, or simply Cristal statement: Ker-istall.
Saphirot began to see in the Count a chance to have his son who was in Kalimdor with his mother, sooner than he thought. Cristal was well trained in all magical arts, including the complicated art of manipulation of time, which gave him the power to move to any place instantly, and the count was very talented in that kind of magic. One day then Saphirot ordered Cristal to go to Kalimdor and brought his son, Istal followed his mentor and leader without thinking twice, in a blink of an eye he teleported to the distant Kalimdor, to the former home of Saphirot. There he met the most beautiful of the Druids, Dwiin Moonlight, Saphirot bride before he was exiled by Cenarius, and his new little son, who was the heir of Ice Flow, the boy was about a 103 years old, only a child for an elf. Cristal coldly pulled the child from the arms of Dwiin and before she could say anything he teleported back to Northrend, some says Dwiin cried for nearly a month, Moonlight ran to tell Cenarius what happened, but even the powerful demigod couldn't find where did the hijacker came from and where did he got to with the son of the druid, because the powers of Cristal were beyond the knowledge and understanding of Cenarius.
Returning to Ice Flow, the count gave the young heir to his father, Saphirot ran to the balcony of the palace and there with Cristal to his side, announced: "Ice Flow is now a kingdom, and I am your king! And here I present to you my heir, my son, Prince Saphirion heir to the throne, and the regent of the king, Cristal!" The Count then took a sword from the sheath he carried on his back: "And every king needs a symbol for his kingdom, King Saphirot, I give you your sword, forged by the most talented blacksmiths in Ice Flow, but it isn't an enchanted blade, it will gain power through your powers" Crystal gave the beautiful sword to Saphirot, the King took the crystal Isciphen that he carried on a necklace and placed it on his sword: "This sword does not symbolize my power, this sword does not simbolyze this city, this sword is my power, this swor is this city, it is Ice Flow!" In a blinding sword emanated power, a power never seen before, it seemed that the sword through Saphirot, freed all the power that once was asleep in Isciphen.
Years passed and Saphirion was already grown up, had a beautiful wife and a son, which was named Trayd, which in elfic means: noble warrior, it is clear that Saphirot did not like having a grandchild with a name so different from his, that fled the customs of the time, but Saphirion not changed his mind and left his son's name as it was, and also Saphirion was old enough to take the throne. The armies of Ice Flow were ready to board vessels to Kalimdor and Saphirot would have his revenge, he gathered all in front of the palace doors to the throne room, and with him his blood Saphirion, his adopted children Scarriot and Sarion, the king wanted to pass the throne to his heir before the battle, because he wanted was revenge, Ice Flow after it would not serve for anything. The ceremony was magnificent, Saphirot passed the sword of the king, to Saphirion that would take care of the city while he was in battle, after the heir was named king, an elf said, kidding, in the middle of the crowd: "And what is the first commandment of the king?" Saphirion lowered his head and began to think, half apprehensive Saphirot looked at his son and asked, "So my son, what you have in mind?" The new king raised his head stared at his people, puffed out his chest and said "Drop your weapons and shields men, Ice Flow will not go to war!" Saphirot looked scared to his son: "Saphirion, what a hell you are saying? Those bastards need to pay those fools should pay for what they did to me, that men in front of you are warriors, are ready to fight, you can not just ..." His son interrupted: "Yes father, I can, I I'm the king, and these men here are warriors against their will, you want them as warriors, but they want to live their lives, then I say that nobody here would dare spill a drop of blood in Kalimdor, I'm sorry to let you down my father, but I do what is right for these people." Saphirot turned its back on the child and entered the halls emanating anger from his soul, but Saphirion was calm, feeling he did the right thing for his kingdom.
For nearly three months no one had no news of Saphirot, the old man had disappeared, he was hanging around the mountains, thoughtful, angry, disappointed, cursing everything and everyone, was when he saw the crystal Isciphen that he had pulled from the sword because he wanted to use it in battle against the night elves, a terrible idea came to his mind, Saphirot began to run toward the ancient Kmah city in the mountains, arriving there he found Azdron, shamans, and some kmah who went to the city just to search for him. Saphirot asked Azdron forge a helmet, the strongest and most beautiful he ever made, Azdron asked the former king the reason for the helmet, and Saphirot said it would be a gift for Saphirion to show that he kept no remorse for what his son did and would serve as the newest symbol of the reign of peace that Saphirion would build, as a sword does not combine well with the ideals of the new king, the helmet would be the new crown from Ice Flow, Saphirot also said that they should forge the helm there, in the ancient city, because he wanted it to be a surprise. The kmah worked day and night in the forging, until two weeks after the helmet was ready, when Azdron gave it to Saphirot, the old man returned to his days as a witch and started a spell putting Isciphen the helm, the shamans listening to the words of the wizard warned Azdron that the former king was putting a terrible curse on the helmet, which would eventually kill Saphirion if he uses it, then Azdron tried to stop the witchcraft of Saphirot but the old man was very powerful and eventually killed Azdron with a spell when the kmah jumped to attack him, the shamans and the rest of kamh ran scared while Saphirot ended the curse.
Soon after the old witch returned to Ice Flow, there he called another meeting in front of the palace. The entire population of the city gathered to see the new release of the former king, Saphirot then gave the cursed helm to Saphirion saying: "May it symbolizes the beginning of a new era in Ice Flow, an era of peace and goodness on the command Saphirion, this helmet, forged by the most talented kmah blacksmiths, will be the new king's crown, as a sword isn't a symbol of a decent peaceful kingdom, and it also shows that I bear no grudge about your decision my wise child." The people shouted and jumped for joy, celebrating the event, until Saphirion took the helmet and put it in his head, the curse was fulfilled and the king's body and soul were frozen by the crystal, all were shocked by the scene while Saphirot laughed with a air of evil, Crystal then took the wizard's arm and said: "Old traitor, how you dare to kill your own son? You did not deserve to live among the night elves and does not deserve to live among us also, I think death isn't enought for you, consider again exiled, go and never dare set foot in Ice Flow again!" Saphirot looked Cristal "You can not do this to me Istal, I trained you, I created you, I gave you life! You must serve me!" The count laughed, "You told me that my duty was to serve the king, and now the king is not you, is your son who you killed, and you should be punished." Cristal took the traitor to the city gates and threw on the floor: "Damn, get out of here and never get back." Saphirot got up and ran without looking back, until it disappeared over the horizon, inside the city the ice elves was pointing to the kmah and shouting "Traitors! They should also be expelled, you forged the helm, you have killed the king." Cristal returned to the palace and told Sarion: "Listen to me Sarion, I know you have nothing to do with it, but now it would be better return to the city on the mountain, the time to prove your innocence will come, but there will be better for you and your people than here, stay away from Ice Flow for now, to avoid confusion with the rest of the people." Sarion, believing in the wisdom of the count, accepted his advice and ran with the rest of kmah to the mountain town.
The frozen king was put in a secret room beneath the palace, the Ice Flow Regent, Cristal, ruled until the son of Saphirion, Trayd, had age to be crowned king. Crystal then ordered the construction of a giant wall at the northern entrance to the peninsula of Ice Flow, ordered the closure of the caves to the south linking the peninsula with the sea and asked the spirons would create the biggest blizzard ever seen in the heavens, all this to isolate the kingdom in its darkest hour, from that day Ice Flow would close for the rest of the world...

Hate em'.
But I guess its ok. Also in my ice elves lore, some of the ice elves were on the surface when the caverns were created and the land became cold wasteland. They still live in polar forests of the north, their clture changed a little.
Maybe your people are actually those guys from the surface?
 
I planed everything, from it's very begining to..., well the to don't mater xD
Yeah, they were created by a witch (i realy don't know if witch fits to a man but...), Saphirot were intending to take vengeance agains those who exilied him in the cold north (the night elves), so he found a way to ressurrect his folowers souls and multiply them, using the crystal Isciphen and the souls, he gave life to statues of ice within the great city of Ice Flow (the he, the spirons and the kmah constructed in Northrend), however wen the day to sail back to Klaimdor and make war aginst the night elves, Sphirot's son, who becamed the king that time, rejected the war and ordered the ice elves to drop their weapons... well i'll not tell the rest of story, but the ice elves rejected to become evil that's all i can tell. xD
 
Nah, i won't change anything. I planed this lore years ago, the ice elves isn't only a project for me, and i don't wanna change it, anyway, what i wrote here isn't even the begining, this only explains the ice elven origins. In truth i (and my friend) created the ice elves for our version of the scourge's defeat, their main story happens after the end of the Burning Cruzade, wen the Lich King starts his new attacks, the campaing Northrend's Tear of this thread, is an alternative way for the Wrath of the Lich King, come on guys, everyone makes his own version for the Lich Kings defeat (or victory), o only made my version too. xD
 
See, even you made your version for that, why can't i??? =/
My version is only a bit complex, that's all... =]
------------------------------------------------------------------
right... i uploaded a new chapter of the story, it tells about how the Ice Elves were born.
as soon as i finish my melee map, i'll start the campaing...
------------------------------------------------------------------
now, the story is complete - but it only tells how the Ice Elven kingdom was born, the campaing will continue all of this...
