The beginning of a night elf

It's been like yesterday that I have came across a world that would grow my name across the gaming community like I wouldn't of ever imagined.

It was a Halloween afternoon that I decided to try my hand at World of Warcraft. Once that I have gotten the game installed I looked over all the animation and characters that you could make and design.

I started out main fan undead rogue and named him neostorm. I got playing around with the character and it just didn't suit something that I would of wanted to dedicate myself too. I deleted that character off of an old horde server called echo isles.

I went and looked at the alliance characters that all looked amazing. I decided to do some reading about night elves, what they I have learned was the night elves are the oldest people to survive throughout Azeroth,

Night elves (or kaldorei, for "children of the stars" in Darnassian[3]), are a powerful and mystical race whose origins extend back to ancient times, being one of the longest-lived and most ancient cultures in existence today. These then-immortal beings were among the first to study magic and let it loose throughout the world nearly ten thousand years before the First War.[4] The founders of a magical and advanced civilization which at its peak spanned the breadth of ancient Kalimdor, the night elves came into a horrific conflict with the Burning Legion but achieved a Pyrrhic victory that ended in the Great Sundering, turning Kalimdor's landmass into the continents of the present age. The devastation wrought by the chain of events birthed in conceit caused a wholesale shift in direction. Until very recently, the night elves abandoned and completely outlawed the use of arcane magic, fearing its use would draw the Legion back to their world.

Emergence of the night elves

Around 15,000 years ago a tribe of dark trolls[6] unconcerned by the battles for land and power and longing for a peaceful connection to the world, came to settle near the translucent waters of the Well of Eternity, the prime source of all magic on the planet. Over time, the Well's cosmic power affected this nocturnal and independent tribe, suffusing their flesh and bones, elevating their forms to match their graceful spirits. They transformed into highly intelligent and virtually immortal beings. Their skin turned various shades of violet, and they grew stronger and taller in stature. The tribe gradually abandoned their ancient heritage and tradition. The mystics began worshiping the moon goddess Elune, who they believed slumbered within the fount's depth during daylight hours. The former trolls also discovered the name "Kalimdor" and other titan-forged words from communing with Elune and investigating strange artifacts scattered around the Well's periphery. They adopted the name kaldorei, which meant "children of the stars" in their native tongue.
