Arderé 'Niteo' Fireshine

== Arcanist of Convocation of Elrendar ==
== History ==
Heritage:: Arderé was the only daughter of Athos and Iunovis Firestorm, A Mage and Priestess respectively, true Quel’dorei with their immortality intact. They followed their race diligently to Quel’Thalas, perhaps even taking part in some of the events surrounding the Convocation of Silvermoon. In their immortality, they grew bored of constantly serving a higher calling, and decided to travel, crossing both Alliance and Horde boundaries.
After hundred of years, amidst all of the goings on in the world, they resumed their duties every now and then, fighting for causes they agreed with morally. Around the year -220, the pair took time out to visit the mountainous region now known as Redridge Mountains. They settled and lived there, mastering the common tongues and befriending the Humans who lived nearby. Ten years later, September -230, Iunovis gave birth to their daughter, Arderé.
Arderé’s birth was ill-timed however. The War of the Three Hammers had reached its climax mere days after her birth, Athos and Iunovis received their warning to evacuate all too late. When Ragnaros the Firelord was accidentally summoned, his fiery energies melted the surrounding mountains of Redridge, sundering the regions apart and forming Blackrock Mountain. Athos and Iunovis died quickly in aftermath; the sheer heat and the army of volcanic elementals that spawned from the blasts center claiming their lives.
In the days following, rescue troops were sent with care around the newly formed Mountain. In the rubble, Night Elves found Arderé, cradled in between her parents, her name written on the last page in Iunovis’ Diary, tucked carefully into her blanket. The words ‘The Fireborn’ scribbled in haste below it, apparently, within Athos and Iunovis’ last moments.
New Life:: Although the Night Elves felt a duty to the Quel’dorei child they had rescued, they handed her over to the people of a small, neutral Quel’dorei village far in the North, beyond Ironforge and Stormwind. They sought the help of a particular House; the Dawncloud family. The Father of the family, Ahenolus, a former Magister and supposed ‘Weather Mage’ already had two daughters of his own, and was willing to adopt Arderé under certain conditions. It was rumoured that his children, or at least one of them, was half-Kal’dorei, but it had never been confirmed as his wives were never seen in the village. It was due to this rumour, that the Kal’dorei trusted Ahenolus more than the others in the village.
Although the Dawncloud family ‘adopted’ Arderé, Ahenolus sought not for her to see them as her ‘family’, instead wishing for her to know the truth about her past, but this may have also been because he already had two daughters of their own; Aeter, and Alun’rar. Ahenolus, being the traditional Elf he was, was adamant that as he had no Son, his two daughters were to strive and succeed in fields of power, and would not allow an ‘Outsider’ to threatened that. But still, he permitted Arderé to train in any school she saw fit.
As Arderé grew older, she chose the same school as Aeter; that of a Knight, the ranks that would later become known as Blood Knights. Although she was marginally younger than the Dawncloud daughters, she showed skills with a sword, and grew fiercely protective of her adoptive family, but bonded more with the slightly elder daughter Alun’rar.
An incident that saw her Dawncloud sisters being bullied by other Elves due to their possible Half-Kal’dorei heritage, caused Arderé to fly into a rage, in which she released fierce Fire and Arcane magics, injuring several of the bullies rather horridly.
The Magic:: Ahenolus, partly out of duty, and partly out of fear for his biological daughters, sent Arderé away to learn magic from a typical Magistrix in Quel’Thalas. She found the transition from Sword and Shield to Staff and Spells trivial at first, her own power with Fire sometimes getting the better of her, causing her to over-do it on even the most simple of tasks. But she very quickly began to master her skills. When it became clear that she was a quick learner in Magic, but could not let go of the attachment she had formed to the use of a Sword, she joined Alun’rar as the only two pupils of a rather powerful Battle mage based outside Quel’Thalas.
While Alun’rar found skills in Frost and Arcane, Arderé found her power in Fire and Arcane, they were almost evenly matched, and could never decide for sure who out of the two was stronger.
The older she grew the more powerful she became, and like Alun’rar was enlisted in many armies and orders and fought in almost every war and notable battle, while Aeter remained training to be a Knight in Quel’Thalas and Silvermoon City.
When Arderé had reached a respectable age, Ahenolus gave her a package containing the articles the Kal'dorei who had brought her to im had possessed that day many years ago. The key point of this package was her Mother's diary, the one in which 'Fireborn' had been hastily written. Arderé considers this a cherished item now, and the location of her brith and its connections to Ragnaros the reason for her affinity with Fire Magic.
The Addiction:: Arderé, unlike her Dawncloud sisters, was stationed very close to Quel’Thalas when the Sunwell was destroyed and felt the shattering of the fel-magic within her, curving her towards the life of a Sin’dorei. Although Alun’rar and Aeter’Nita had too felt it, they were not affected to the same extent, and Arderé struggled with a withdrawal and addiction to fel magic for quite some time.
Arderé however spent years pouring over her Mother’s old diary, struggling with the fall-out of the Sunwell and her desire for magic. Her own addiction had made the slightest use of magic horrifically painful for her, in comparison to Alun’rar who found release in its use.
As skilled as the two Mages were, Arderé could not fully endure the pain she felt in being unable to use magic. At the end of year 26, Arderé sought the help of her and Alun’rar’s former Magister mentor, and returned to the ruined cities of the Quel’dorei, now Sin’dorei, many like her dealing with the throe of pain in magic.
Her former teacher was able to calm and sate her need for relief in time for her to be of use again on the battle field. 4 years later, in the year 31, although weary, she and an eager Alun’rar were most notably placed in Outland around the events of the Dark Portal, helping to form every notable Horde settlement on the remains of Draenor. She was famously involved in locations such as Tempest Keep, Black Temple and what became known as the Sunwell Plateau as part of The Shattered Sun Offensive. An ever-crucial part of the assault force that prevented Kael’Thas from summoning Kil’Jaeden.
The Third War:: In the aftermath of the Third War, with the world in a state of chaos, the three daughters stole time away from their duties to return home, and found each other inexplicably changed. Aeter had been somewhat jaded by her time spent amongst masculine and arrogant Blood Knight Masters, Alun’rar felt the rage of her own powerlessness in the grand scheme of things and spoke of Mages akin to Medivh and desired their power to protect that which so held dear. Arderé encouraged her adoptive sister to seek solace in the fact that they were both desired by many of the strongest orders in the lands, and that an ascent to greatness would not gain her respect. But Alun’rar would not be calmed, panic of something otherworldly gripping her as The Lich King’s own ascent progressed.
At the end of the year 31, Arderé was recruited by The Silver Covenant, a Quel’dorei order, one of the many based in Dalaran who loathed and abhorred the inclusion of their Sin’dorei cousins in much, if anything. They sought out Arderé after hearing of her skills demonstrated in Outland, but despised that she had been tainted by the fall of the Sunwell into a Sin’dorei, a fact that had been illusive to them until meeting her. With reluctance, they accepted Arderé into the order, on the condition that she work for them with little pay, and without wearing their colours or speaking of her ‘employment’ to anyone. Arderé agreed, but it did not take long for the discrimination to anger her, a matter of months later, she left the order.
Grief:: Arderé returned home a few weeks into the year 32, and found the Village she had lived in all two hundred and sixy two years of her life, in ruins. Arderé, in her despair, was forced to defend herself from confused, un-commanded Scourge, who acted on their simplest killing and cannibalistic natures when she stepped near them. Arderé found the body of her adoptive father in the ruins of their house, her grief silencing even her vocal chords. Search as she may, she could not find her sisters anywhere, but had not heard word of them being summoned anywhere to fight.
With very little left to do, Arderé sat and waited. Out of hope that her sisters might return, she waited, for months, for almost a year. Neither of her sisters returned, and over time Arderé came to accept that they were probably not longer living, perhaps even they had been turned to members of the Scourge and slain by a noble Knight on some foreign land. Arderé feared she would never know.
She gathered her strength and her will, and returned dutifully to the city of her race, to Silvermoon, where she hoped the company and the lack of bloodshed and a battle field, would eventually calm her grief.
