Milan

Milan of the Elven House of Scribes was a member of the Alliance. They recorded the events of the Second War in The Annals of the Great Alliance. They had been given the supreme honor of inscribing the Annals in preparation for the impending invasion of the Orcish Horde. It was the first time in long history that the Great Alliance of Lordaeron brought together humans, elves, dwarves, and gnomes under the same banner to remove their common enemy from the face of the world. When Milan started on the Annals they did not know if they would describe the Alliance's victory or defeat, but it was his hope that the Alliance's descendants would read and learn from the pages, whatever the outcome. For that reason, Milan concentrated on the military aspects of the Alliance endeavors, so that future leaders could study and expand on them in the event of the Alliance's demise. They believed the preservation of knowledge was of paramount importance, as the Horde had come to destroy all they had learned and all they loved about their lands. They swore a great oath to protect the words with their life and to pass the knowledge on to all who would gain the smallest wisdom from it.

Milan's first action after writing the foreword to the Annals was to travel to Hillsbrad to record the maps, orders, and tactics of the Alliance's most promising human commander there, and they hoped the gods favored the Alliance.Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness The Official Strategy Guide, pg. 93-94 This position gave Milan firsthand experience of several battles throughout the course of the war.
Ultimately, Milan witnessed the fall of Blackrock Spire and the destruction of the Great Portal, and witnessed the weeks of celebrations worldwide.
