In the most ancient period when Azeroth was born, the elements were raging. Later, the ancient gods came to defeat and enslave the elements. Then Titan came, sealed the ancient gods and expelled the elements. Azeroth began to be transformed. Slowly, creatures appeared.
In the earliest period, there were no elves, no dwarves, and no humans among Azeroth's creatures, only Troll. Dwarves and humans were both species of stone men created by Titan, which degenerated after being infected by the ancient god's Curse of Flesh. The elves evolved from a small part of Troll.
Night Elf, also known as Kaldorei (the word means "son of the stars" in Darnassian), is a race that has had a high degree of Arcane civilization since ancient times. The earliest history we can trace back to Night Elf is that they evolved from Dark Trolls.
About 14,000 years ago, a Dark Trolls tribe settled next to Well of Eternity. This huge lake located at Ancient Kalimdor is Titan One of the experimental devices built in Azeroth can continuously absorb the Arcane energy in Twisting Nether into Azeroth. Well of Eternity influenced this Dark Trolls, their appearance changed, and their beliefs changed from Troll's Loa beliefs to Elune beliefs, and at the same time became more civilized. Kaldorei often moved at night. They multiplied and multiplied around Well of Eternity, and began to attack Well of Eternity Research on Arcane energy. And these Dark Trolls are the ancestors of Night Elf.
Well of Eternity's continuous magic accelerated the development of Night Elf civilization, and soon the power of elves began to threaten the ancient Troll Empire. An inevitable war broke out between the ancient Kaldorei and Troll, Night Elf's wisdom and Arcane Magic made Troll Empire suffer a lot. In the end, Troll was defeated within a few years, and the once powerful empire declined. Kaldorei became the well-deserved overlord of Ancient Kalimdor.
Night Elf's exploration and expansion on Ancient Kalimdor attracted the attention of the demigod Cenarius. He favored this race and hoped to guide them to follow the natural path Druid The Way of. Some elven nobles headed by Queen Azshara call themselves Highborne. They are addicted to Arcane Magic and use the gifts of Well of Eternity without restraint.
This caused the fallen Dark Titan in the void Sargeras's attention, Sargeras deceived Queen Azshara and Highborne, and prepared to summon himself to Azeroth, and Malfurion and some other young Night Elf listened to Cenarius's warning and hoped to prevent Burning Legion's invasion. The history of this war is called War of the Ancients.
During the War of the Ancients, the Well of Eternity exploded, and the continent was shattered into several continents. Some of the upper elves, led by Queen Azshara, fell into the abyss in the maelstrom at the center of the Endless Sea due to the explosion of the Well of Eternity. In. In the following centuries, the surviving Highborne have been trying to integrate into their new society. However, this is not easy for many people-even though the practice of witchcraft has been banned by mainstream society, they still cannot resist the temptation and frequently get involved in magic.
These Highbornes have been warned many times by mainstream society, and people have even decided to execute repeat offenders, but such behavior is still prohibited. For the upper class, the temptation of Arcanes is too strong.
Highborne Celebrity Dath'Remar·Sunstrider, the ancestor of Karen, was angry at the restrictions and punishments imposed on his compatriots. Finally, he claimed that Arcane Power is Highborne's birthright, and he denounces those who fear it as cowards. He and his subordinates begin to ignore the law and openly study Arcane knowledge.
The sudden resistance of these Highborne shocked the whole society. The remaining Night Elf could not kill so many brothers and sisters. In the end, they decided to drive these Night Elf out of the Night Elf's holy land Mount Hyjal and permanently ban them from contacting the energy of Well of Eternity.
Under the instructions of Dath'Remar, Highborne built a fleet of huge ships and took them away from Kalimdor to find other large ships opposite the violent Maelstrom. Traces of the mainland. A few years later, Highborne's determination finally paid off, and they arrived at a new continent. This land was covered with lush forests and rich wild animals. After a long time, people will call this place "Eastern Kingdoms".
After landing, Highborne walked on foot for several months, finally stopping at a place with a huge silver arm as a landmark - the primitive human Horde at that time called this place Tirisfal. These humans initially avoided contact with Highborne's contact. But as time passed, they began to tell the story of a metal-skinned Guardian - this brave Warrior named Tyr, who died here to defeat a terrible evil.
Highborne Powerful Ley Line energy was detected in this place - this deepens the credibility of human legends, but the local primitive humans knew nothing about these energies. Although there is no Well of Eternity here, the remaining supernatural powers here still interest these experienced Arcane practitioners. Some elves believe that, given time, they will be able to decipher the secrets here and restore Highborne to its former glory.
But their physical condition made them too aggressive. A few years after leaving Well of Eternity, Highborne began to gradually feel the effects of aging and disease. Their skin lost its violet tone and their bodies gradually shrank. Highborne was worried that these symptoms would become more and more serious as time went by.
Under the leadership of Dath'Remar, Highborne started their new life in Tirisfal Glades. For a period of time after that, they lived relatively Tranquility, and were happy to be isolated from humans. However, when they began to have extensive contact with the local hidden magic energy, they discovered the shadow of dark power in it. These shadow powers even drove some Highborne into madness.
In order to avoid the influence of the dark power, Dath'Remar chose to lead his people to leave Tirisfal and go to the north to build a new home - the scouts he sent discovered the powerful Ley Line energy in the forest area there. After making up their minds, the Highbornes plunged into the unknown areas of the north.
Far away from the vast Ashenvale, Eastern Kingdoms, Dath'Remar and Highborne are still trying to find a new home. They follow the traces of magical energy and pursue their spies along the way. The intersection of Ley Line was scouted in the north. Here, verdant woodland is dotted everywhere, and the ground beneath their feet pulses with magic. However, the elves soon discovered that another race also called this place home: Amani Trolls.
The arrival of Highborne made Troll furious - they had hated the elves since the time of Queen Azshara. Amani immediately sent out a plundering force, and they soon had Highborne attack lurking in the dense forest. Troll was full of fear. However, the elves still insisted on moving forward, using their magical power to destroy any Amani that stood in the way. Soon, Troll also began to act cautiously, and the continuous and uninterrupted exchange of fire between the two sides made Amani and Highborne forge a grudge.
In the end, the elves overcame Troll's many obstacles and arrived at the Ley Line hub they were looking for. The powerful Arcane energy flow covered several forests here. Dath'Remar announced that this would be the place where their civilization would revive.
In full view of the public, Dath'Remar revealed the treasure he had hidden all along: a bottle of magic water from the original Well of Eternity. The original Highborne was expelled from At Mount Hyjal, Dath'Remar secretly took away one of the bottles left by Illidan·Stormrage from Night Elf's guard.
Dath'Remar poured the water from the bottle into a small lake in the center of the Ley Line hub, and a dazzling surge of energy immediately penetrated the sky of Azeroth. Highborne called this extremely glorious source of power "Sunwell" to commemorate Dath'Remar and his contribution to Fuxing Elf Civilization.
After that, Highborne abandoned their ancient tradition of worshiping the moon and turned to the sun to obtain power. Slowly, these Highborne became known to people with a new name: High Elf.
