Moon Guard

The Moon Guard (also spelled the Moonguard or simply the Guard) were a group of night elf sorcerers who served as protectors and peace-keepers in the ancient Kaldorei Empire, which dominated much of Ancient Kalimdor. The order was established long before even the War of the Ancients and its members included talented spell-casters who dedicated themselves to upholding the peace and security of the Kaldorei nation.
During the War of the Ancients, the Moon Guard were 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 the ancient war, the Moon Guard served Queen Azshara, but when the demons of the Burning Legion came, it joined the Kaldorei Resistance along with the noble class against the Highborne. The Kaldorei Resistance, including the Moon Guard, was commanded by Lord Ravencrest. After the assassination of Lord Ravencrest, Lord Stareye took up the leadership of the resistance until he was killed by the Doomguard. The Kaldorei Resistance, however, regrouped under the famous Jarod Shadowsong and became victorious against the demons.
Illidan Stormrage 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 deflection, Rhonin took over. Despite being a foreigner, the Moon Guard treated him with respect for his power and leadership.
