Nevariel

Nevariel Alen'drith is a former Priestess who - like many of the surviving members of the elven clergy - renounnced her vows in the aftermath of the Third War and joined the Blood Knight Order. She currently holds the rank of a Knight and has no aspirations to ever ascend to Masterhood. After a scandal surrounding her younger brother Lyandrir, she was transferred to The Sunfire Vanguard and now serves her duty at the northern front. 
== Physical Appearance==
Even a well-meaning observer might find that Nevariel is hardly the epitome of a Blood Knight. While standing at average height,  she has a fragile physique that is barely concealed by the bulky plate armour of her Order. The weapons she carries seem often a bit too large and heavy for the elf, yet she has learned to wield them without appearing overtly clumsy. 
Nevariel’s face is pale to an almost unhealthy degree and dominated by large, thoughtful eyes that seem to glow brighter in the presence of arcane sources. When not directly engaging with others, she is often lost in her own musings, her brow almost permanently furrowed. 
== Background==
 
Nevariel was born the eldest child of two high elven Rangers, Falandor and Sefiya Alen'drith. Discipline, patriotism and a certain readiness to make sacrifices for a greater goal were instilled into the girl from a very early age. But much to the dismay of her parents, she never felt any desire to follow in their footsteps and grew up to be a brooding, somewhat bookish young woman. As it became apparent that her interest in the philosophy of the Holy Light was not just another phase, she was put under the tutorage of the renowned Priestess Anessa Morningsong and studied religious scriptures as well as anatomy and alchemy under her stern gaze. Even though Nevariel’s calling made her an eccentric in the magocratic Quel’Thalas, her career as a healer seemed almost set in stone. Of course, this changed rapidly when the Scourge invaded the elven kingdom.
Alongside her tutor and a group of fellow disciples, Nevariel worked night and day to save the countless wounded warriors and citizens that were swept into their makeshift sickbay. But despite the effort of so many restless hands, their patients dropped like flies. The situation worsened when a strange illness – not the plague, but something else, a deadly fatigue – afflicted the elderly and the very young. Shortly after, two disciples and Priestess Morningsong herself – whom Nevariel had always looked up to with the admiration of a whelp – abandoned the sickbay to flee to Sunstrider Isle, the only safe haven left. In those gruesome days, something changed in the young Priestess. At first, she blamed the dwindling of her powers on the exhaustion, the extreme circumstances. But the holy energies she wielded became more and more unstable until they vanished altogether, like a well running dry. Not even increased prayers or fasting would bring them back; Nevariel was forced to leave her patients to safe her own life.
In the aftermath of the attack, Nevariel spent several months in a state of numbness. However, the tales about the supposed „Promised Land“ Prince Kael’thas had prepared for his people stirred hope in the young elf. Especially the propaganda of the recently founded Blood Knight Order appealed to her – like a betrayed, vengeful wife, she had come to loathe the Light she once had devoted her life to. Once more, she adopted the role of a field medic, this time wielding stolen energies that no one would ever take away from her again.
Or so she thought.
