The Departure of the Highborne

Dath'Remar and Tyrande got into an argument.

Both sides are striving to secure the interests that all parties can gain from their own perspectives.

"The Highborne are different from you! Although we are both Night Elf, they have become one with magic, Tyrande," Dath'Remar argued forcefully.

Since the discovery of the Well of Eternity, magic has been incorporated into the bodies of some Night Elf. This practice has continued for a long time. To suddenly take magic away from the lives of the Highborne would be no different from killing them.

"But magic has already caused too much harm to our people! The general public no longer has the same attitude towards magic as before; now they only have fear of it!" Tyrande retorted.

"We can stay out of the public eye as long as the current laws allow us, the last remaining Highborne, to research magic," Dath'Remar stated his bottom line.

"I'm sorry, Dath'Remar, no means no. Magic must be forbidden." Tyrande flatly rejected Dath'Remar's request, extinguishing any remaining sense of belonging Dath'Remar had towards the Night Elf.

"Okay, I understand, but Tyrande, I have something to tell you."

"Arcane power is an inherent right of the Highborne! Anyone who fears it is a coward!" With that, Dath'Remar departed.

Watching Dath'Remar leave, Tyrande said nothing. She summoned several sentries and ordered them to keep a close watch on all the Highborne.

When the enraged Dath'Remar returned to the Highborne's territory, he took the initiative to lead the other Highborne to begin recklessly researching Arcane Magic.

Many Night Elf tried to dissuade them, but they were all driven away by the guards sent by Dath'Remar.

To Dath'Remar's followers, Dath'Remar actions were not a betrayal but an attempt to revive the Ancient Kaldorei Empire.

Dath'Remar also sent people to take stock of the remaining magic crystals so that they could support his next plan.

Dath'Remar and his followers unleashed a magical storm in Ashenvale, demonstrating to Tyrande that abolishing magic was a mistake.

The Highborne ' open defiance of Night Elf law shocked the entire Night Elf society; they never expected that the usually submissive Highborne would openly rebel.

Tyrande was also shocked by Dath'Remar's insane act of revenge. Her sentinels also reported to her that there were too many Highborne researching and using magic, and that executing them all at once would plunge the people into panic.

Tyrande thought for a moment and gave an answer.

"In that case, banish them." Tyrande's words sealed the fate of these Highborne.

"Dath'Remar, because of your insane research into Arcane Magic and disregard for the laws of the Night Elf, it has been decided to expel all the Highborne!" Night Elf envoy arrived in the Highborne territory to read Tyrande's order.

The surrounding Highborne were furious upon hearing of their banishment and were eager to confront Tyrande immediately.

Only Dath'Remar remained calm, accepting his deportation sentence with equanimity.

Upon seeing that Dath'Remar had accepted the verdict, the envoy quickly left. He felt that if he stayed there for even a second longer, the Highborne would tear him apart.

Watching the Night Elf envoy flee in disarray, Dath'Remar smiled to himself, thinking, "Only cowards fear magic."

"Alright, stop complaining. Haven't we already made a plan?" Dath'Remar said, looking at his Highborne companions behind him.

"Are you really leaving?" a Highborne asked.

"Yes, they've driven us out. I really admire Snyder; I admire his decisiveness," Dath'Remar remarked.

The Highborne also remembered the hero of the War of the Ancients.

"Alright, now each family, go and count your numbers and gather all your belongings. We're leaving immediately." Dath'Remar gave the order, and all the Highborne sprang into action.

After a while, all the Highborne packed their belongings and, led by their respective chieftains, prepared to leave the place where they had always lived.

All the clan leaders had finished reporting to Dath'Remar. Dath'Remar looked at all the Highborne below and saw confusion, longing, fear, and reluctance in their eyes.

But he firmly believed that he could bring them a bright future, and besides, he still had that thing in his hands.

Dath'Remar led his people to a port they controlled, where he had already ordered his followers to build a powerful fleet capable of holding all the Highborne.

Once all the Highborne had boarded the ship, they felt the shackles that had bound them had finally disappeared; they were no longer bound by their own people.

Dath'Remar ordered the fleet to set sail, leaving Kalimdor and heading towards the other side of the ocean.

Life at sea was monotonous, but the Highborne watched everything with curiosity.

They had never left the Kalimdor, and everything was new to them.

However, they certainly won't be given special treatment just because they are newbies.

The ocean is beautiful but also dangerous. The weather at sea is unpredictable; one moment it's cloudless, and the next it's overcast.

The Highborne fleet had neither blessings nor sea charts; they relied solely on their inner faith to fight against the storms of the sea.

Fortunately, Dath'Remar had prepared enough supplies, so they didn't have to worry about food or water.

After years of drifting on the sea, Dath'Remar and his followers had grown to dislike the ocean as much, as the storms and waves had caused them great suffering.

Finally, one day, the Highborne mages cast detection spells in hopes of finding the existence of land.

They thought it was another wasted effort, but fate ended their suffering. The Highborne mages used their detection magic to discover a new continent.

The Highborne mages relayed this good news to Dath'Remar, Dath'Remar, upon hearing it, ordered an advance towards land.

News of the discovery of land quickly reached the ears of the other Highborne, which made them very happy.

The Highborne mages also cast spells to accelerate the fleet's speed, allowing it to reach the New World more quickly.

Every Highborne was overjoyed; their long voyage was finally coming to an end.

Finally, the fleet landed, and Dath'Remar and his followers set foot on this new continent.

All the Highborne were delighted, Dath'Remar sent out scouts to explore the continent.

The scout returned with news after completing his investigation.

"Lord Dath'Remar, we have discovered an abandoned Night Elf stronghold."

Dath'Remar was shocked by the scout's words.

"Snyder, is that you?"
