Bloody Nights

The Bloody Nights is a colloquial term used to refer to a period of political purges among the Noble Houses of Quel'Thalas shortly after the official entrance of the Sin'dorei into the New Horde in 620KY that saw the murder, forced exile, and seizure of property of a large number of both nobles and commoners. Initially aimed at pro-Alliance and anti-Kael'thas remnants in the Sin'dorei aristocracy, the purge quickly expanded during the Burning Crusade following the revelation of Prince Kael'thas's treachery. Formulated as a response to the potential political unrest in the Kingdom of Quel'thalas, it created a number of quickly exploited power vacuums, and many noble houses rose in the aftermath - some, if rumour is believed, directly involved in naming or even murdering the opponents of the autocratic regime of the Regency. Today, the topic is largely taboo but is a recurring subject in poetry and art, usually represented symbolically.
