Once the home of the demigod Cenarius, this land was bathed in eternal moonlight. After the destruction of the Well of Eternity, the Night Elves received Elune's blessing and built a home for druids here. Stormrage Barrow Dens was a resting place for druids, where they lay in deep slumber, their spirits connected to the Emerald Dream.
The Legendary Archdruid Malfurion Stormrage and many other druids had entered slumber in the Emerald Dream to heal this wounded world. Their souls had entered the Emerald Dream, but their bodies remained in this world, deep within Stormrage Barrow Dens.

He believed an artifact as precious and consequential as the Scythe of Elune should not have been entrusted to a weak Half-Elf of unknown origins.

It was only natural that he had become the leader of the Cenarion Circle, and equally natural that he should wield the Scythe of Elune.
Provided Lady Tyrande agreed.
Lady Tyrande had said nothing.
