Their races consisted of humans , blood elves , and bronzebeard dwarves . They were part of the New Alliance . History . Alliance with night elves . The Alliance Remnants were stationed throughout Silverpine Forest . Prince Kael ' thas and his blood elves were located near the shores of the Great Sea and were attacked by the Scourge , they barely defeated that Undead group . They were overrun , however , and were preparing to leave when a small group of night elves appeared , led by Tyrande Whisperwind and Maiev Shadowsong . With their help , the blood elves managed to avoid the Scourge at Silverpine , and continued their journey to safety . During the way , they fought against many undead groups and stopped at various blood elven towns to repair the caravan and to bring the elves living there with them . After some battles , they arrived to Pyrewood Village where they were ambushed by the Scourge . The night elves and Alliance Remnants crossed the only bridge over the River Arevass , Tyrande Whisperwind defended that bridge but fell into its waters . Kael ' thas was going to save her but Maiev Shadowsong told him to stop and help her to defeat Illidan . Kael ' thas had to repay the debt to Maiev for previously protecting him and his people and left Tyrande to her fate . Malfurion arrived at the base of the night elves and was informed of Tyrande ' s incident . Maiev told him that she was torn apart , but these were just lies . Kael ' thas then came and met the leaders of the night elves and told them about Illidan ' s location . The Alliance Remnants defended the base from both the Scourge and Illidan ' s Naga , while Malfurion and Tyrande attacked Illidan . In the middle of the battle , a paladin named Magroth the Defender was rescued from the naga and helped in the battle . At last , Illidan was defeated , and when he was going to be executed , Kael ' thas revealed that Tyrande may still be alive . Hearing this , Malfurion and Illidan decided to instead join forces to save her and found out about Maiev ' s lies . After that , the Alliance Remnants went to meet with the rest of the New Alliance . Blood elves betrayed by the Alliance . Unfortunately for Kael ' Thas , the battle in the Ruins of Dalaran had taken the time that the prince was scheduled to meet up with his commander . Kael ' thas and the blood elves arrived with Lord Garithos and tried to apologize , explaining about the night elves , but the commander cut him off , telling the late prince that he was " not interested in your fanciful excuses . " Garithos then charged Kael ' s unit with repairing three observatories , while continuing to insult the prince . The Alliance Remnants defeated demon s and bandits and repaired one observatory but when they arrived at the shore they found out that the undead had destroyed the shipyard . Lady Vashj and her naga gave Kael ' thas and his troops ships for free , after which the Alliance Remnants defeated an Undead Scourge base and repaired the two remaining observatories . Kael ' thas reported his success to Lord Garithos , but Garithos told him that he shouldn ' t have accepted the alliance with the naga as they were inhuman . Garithos left to the front lines and left Kael ' thas behind waiting for orders . The next day he sent an emissary to tell Kael ' thas that the observatories had detected a large undead army and the Alliance Remnants would have to defeat the undead force before they could march on Dalaran . In addition , he was recalling all infantry , cavalry and support teams back to the front lines , leaving only the elven troops to fight . Once again , Kael ' thas was forced to accept help from Lady Vashj and her naga in order to succeed . After their victory Garithos arrived with a great battalion of troops , accused Kael ' thas of treachery and betrayal for once again siding with the naga , and imprisoned all the blood elves in the Dungeons of Dalaran . Aftermath . By making those actions Garithos desintegrated the Alliance Remnants into two groups :
