Moon Guard

The Moon Guard was a once prominent night elven organization. It consisted of sorcerers and, during the War of the Ancients, was led by senior member Latosius. They were considered by the Highborne to be of a lower class, as the Moon Guard members were not the elites. Nevertheless, they believed that Lord Counsellor Xavius was the influence behind the Highborne's envy and not Queen Azshara — whom they worshipped. Before the outbreak of chaos, the Moon Guard served the queen, but when the demons of the Burning Legion came, it joined the resistance along with the noble class against the Highborne. The resistance, were commanded by Lord Ravencrest. After his assassination, Desdel Stareye took up the leadership of the resistance until he too was slain by demonic forces. The resistance, however, regrouped under the famous Jarod Shadowsong and became victorious against the demons.
Illidan Stormage was once the personal sorcerer of Ravencrest, and later led the sorcerers of the Moon Guard when they fought against the Burning Legion. After Illidan's supposed defection, Rhonin took over. Despite being a foreigner, the Moon Guard treated him with respect for his power and leadership. Since then they have been a reclusive organization thriving in the forlorn Broken Isles. Their stronghold is built upon high cliffs in the northwestern part of Suramar.
