Sunfury The Sunfury are a group of high - ranking blood elves loyal to Kael ' thas Sunstrider . They are established both in Netherstorm and Shadowmoon Valley . History . Kirin ' Var Village . The Sunfury were led by to destroy the Kirin ' Var Village , but the overall army was led by himself . During the invasion of the village they detonated a mana bomb , which caused a rift in the Twisting Nether and mana creatures appeared around the region . Master Daellis Dawnstrike fought in the front lines killing many Kirin Tor mages . looted the and claimed Glacius as his trophy . Once the destruction was done , Vargoth was sealed with a magic that forbids passage to anyone of the Kirin Tor and Kael ' thas took the from him and gave it to . Finally he left as a guardian to guard Vargoth ' s prison . Kael ' thas ' forces retreated to Sunfury Hold where some Sunfury were left stationed , including Spellreaver Marathelle . Background . The Sunfury Magister s carry mana crystals . Exposure to these , combined with s , greatly magnifies the addiction to magic of the blood elves ; Kael ' thas has most of his army drunk with these crystals . The Sunfury blood elves were in an alliance with the Zaxxis ethereal s , but the ethereals cut off relations with the Sunfury and went into business for themselves . They lost the manaforge Manaforge Ultris when it was attacked by mana creatures . Manaforges . Discovery . The Sunfury army holds control over four manaforge s . The Scryer s were sent to investigate them and the Aldor went as well as they couldn ' t ignore the threat that they present . They were sent by High Priestess Ishanah . The manaforges threatened the region with blowing up within a few months , probably taking much of Outland with the explosion . , leader of a ballista team outside of Manaforge B ' naar , held the . The Aldor defeated their magisters and bloodwarders while the Scryers kill Arathyn and managed to obtain it . With this information the Scryer began to assassinate Sunfury blood elves , but not any blood elf that could be easily replaced . They targeted the brains of the operation : the Sunfury Warp - Engineer and the Sunfury Warp - Master who oversaw the retrieval of a so called " warp - energy " by the manaforge and its delivery to a remote destination via a system of underground pipes and the Sunfury Geologist . Meanwhile the Aldor went to investigate if the manaforges were made with naaru technology . They discovered that it was a modified technology of Tempest Keep , and that the warp were highly dangerous as the naaru technology wasn ' t supposed to be used so close to the land . However , as most naaru constructs , the manaforges had a safeguard that allows them to be permanently disabled in case of emergency . This information was shared with the Scryer . Destruction . Manaforge B ' naar . Manaforge B ' naar was protected by blood elves and even , with in possession of one access crystal used to deactivate Manaforge B ' naar . Both Aldor and Scryer went and killed Theredis and shut it down . Manaforge Coruu . was the leader of Manaforge Coruu , but held control over access crystal . By this time Manaforge Duro went under heavy attack by arcane wraith s , the same mana creatures they lured with their mana bomb , because they wanted the harvested energy and the situation went out of control . and took many troops from Manaforge Coruu , even when it had very few blood elves to defend themselves , to go and defend Duro . Caledis Brightdawn managed to infiltrate Manaforge Coruu , and the Scryers managed to overhear the information of Manaforge Duro , and gave that information to the Aldor . The blood elves activities in Coruu sent waves of mana elementals to Kirin ' Var Village , although adventurers helped the ghosts of Kirin ' Var more waves continued to appear , this creatures were also attacking the Sunfury blood elves , so they began to develop techniques to destroy them . Finally Kirin ' Var was saved as they activated a shield with the Sunfury ' s stolen technology and destroyed the new mana creatures who tried to enter the village . Then the attack commenced against the Manaforge Coruu : The Aldor attacked the arcanists and researchers . Meanwhile other Aldor and Scryer adventurers used the distraction of the Sunfury caused by the mana creatures and managed to destroyed the manaforge , killing Overseer Seylanna alongside . During the battle it was discovered that the Sunfury had received outside assistance to understand the Naaru technology . Sunfury Hold . At that time , other adventurers sent by Custodian Dieworth attacked Sunfury Hold , where they killed their archers , flamekeepers , their leader Master Daellis Dawnstrike , Spellreaver Marathelle , and burned up their catapults and tents . Betrayal of the Consortium . The Consortium gave the Sunfury blood elves a shipment of to Manaforge Duro but the blood elves refused to pay , but during the confusion of the attack of mana creatures adventurers sent by the ethereals managed to repossess the shipment . After this events it was unofficially ended the dealings between both organizations . But some time later , was sent by Kael ' thas Sunstrider asking for the to Nexus - Prince Haramad , but decided to give the crystal to the naaru instead and end the dealings with the Sunfury . For this actions Solannas and his guards attacked the ethereals but were killed by Haramad himself . Manaforge Duro . Spymaster Thalodien and Anchorite Karja were worried because of the lost of control in Manaforge Duro , as the explosion of the manaforge could threaten all of Outland . The Scryers used the mana beasts ' attack to Manaforge Duro and fought against the Sunfury at the same time , slaughering many blood elves . And then , both factions sent adventurer s to deactivate the manaforge , they killed . During the battle was also killed at Archmage Vargoth ' s request . After this Archmage Vargoth obtained all the necessary items to release from his prison he just needed to defeat , an arcane guardian left by Kael ' thas , with help from adventurers he managed to defeat the golem , but still needed a key held by a Bloodwarder commander . By destroying Manaforge Duro just one manaforge was left . Discovery of the Burning Legion ' s alliance . Manaforge Ara . Manaforge Ara was the last manaforge active , it was oversaw by , they recruited blood elves from Quel ' thalas and reincorporated them into their ranks . betrayed the Sunfury and offered assistance to the Scryer , who sent an adventurer to check if Theledorn wasn ' t a double agent , but the contrary happened , thanks to him they were able to obtain evidence of the alliance between Kael ' thas ' forces and the Burning Legion . The Scryer shared the information with the Aldor , who sent ten troops to attack the Manaforge , but only one survived , the survivor was reinforced and managed to kill some shivarra s and mo ' arg s . Nether - Stalker Oazul , an ethereal of The Consortium , went to attack the blood elves because they were destroying the land with the manaforges , targeting the nethermancers , who stabilize the flow of power . The Sunfury had also a mine below Manaforge Ara , the Trelleum Mine ; since the destruction of Manaforge Ultris this was their last source of materials to run the manaforges . As the ethereal s of The Consortium wanted to take the mine for themselves , they sent adventurers to defeat the foreman , but when he was found he revealed that he had been demoted , and , in truth , held control over the mine and the foreman was no longer an enemy of the ethereals . The overmaster was defeated and the ethereals learned that the Sunfury were allied with the Burning Legion and that there were some blood elf defectors . Meanwhile , the Scryer that didn ' t knew about the alliance with the Legion , thougt that the overseer of Manaforge Ara was a blood elf , they went to deactivate the manaforge but , when they proceeded to deactivate it , they found out that the overseer was , in truth , a wrathguard and that the Sunfury were working with the Burning Legion , a very bad news to the thousands of blood elves travelling from Azeroth . Even with the demon s protecting the manaforge both , Aldor and Scryer , managed to deactivate the last manaforge , saving Netherstorm and all of Outland from a possible explosion . The Scryer sent word from this alliance between Kael ' thas and the Burning Legion to Voren ' thal the Seer .
