## Biography

Lestharia Ravensong was born a few hundred years before the shattering of the world into Azeroth as it known as today. Born to a Higborn family, she showed aptitude in the arcane from an early age, with her mother teaching her the arcane and her father teaching her military tactics. A set of twins with Lesth being born first, she was named the heir to the family name as is Kaldorei tradition and she grew up learning the affairs of the house, military, and politics of the Empire. However, a chance encounter with another noble led to an argument that caused her to be banished of sorts. Sent to a far off outpost within troll raiding country, Lestharia was to serve as outpost commander for a few years before being brought back to the family fold. However, fate it would seem, had other ideas.

Two weeks after taking command, mysterious rumors began to reach the outpost of strange creature sightings in the area. Convinced it was a troll trick of some kind, Lestharia stepped up patrols of the area. However, two days after this command, the demons first appeared and attacked her outpost. With what amount of troops she had, she managed to bravely lead a retreat, taking as many civilians and soldiers with her as she could. Hiding in a set of caves, Lestharia began to plot with her soldiers of a way to march north to join with the rest of the army and try to see what was happening in the world. Lesth was concerned when the Well was cut off, but she had a store of energy within her runeblade that lasted her during this short period of time. Fighting with her troops and even some civilians that had volunteered, she began to cut a path north towards Black Rook Hold. However, she did not make it in time and word had reached her of the brave Lord Ravencrest's death and the betrayal of Azshara. Lesth and her troops became enraged and they began to do hit and run tactics against the Legion while in the southlands to try to stop them the best they could. Taking brave volunteers from villages and cities they passed on their way marching to the Capital, Lesth and her troops barely made it in time to witness the Shattering of the world after the great Dragon fight had broken out. Thus beginning what Lestharia would describe as her people's darkest times.

The Shattering left the Kaldorei in a confused state. With Illidan Stormrage making a new Well of Eternity, the blessing of the Aspects, and then the reordering of the people, new laws began to be passed down. The Highborn were blamed for the events of the War of the Ancients. It was decided that arcane magic would be outright banned from use. Malfurion Stormrage would offer the people a new source of power, druidism. Lestharia however, did not like that. The arcane was rightfully the Kaldorei birthright. She and others believed that they should not be punished for what the Queen and those closest to her had done. With Lestharia considered a minor hero, she was however left mostly alone. Practicing the arcane in secret, she did it alone. However, several other Highborn was doing it together, lost control of a spell, and a fight broke out. With slain on both sides, it was then decided that those Highborn who would not give up the Arcane would be placed into exile away from claimed Kaldorei lands. Lestharia however, was given a choice. She could stay as one of two options. Join the priestesshood of Elune, or become a druid under Malfurion's teachings. Lestharia did not choose either option, instead packing up her things and she went willing into exile, caliming that while the rest of her people would give up their birthright, she would not. And so Lestharia went into exile.

Within exile, Lestharia would travel across what is now known as Kalimdor for a few thousand years. Growing bored, she would then cross the seas over into what is now known as the Eastern Kingdom to find out what became of the Highborn who cross the sea. She would find them, having discover that they forgotten who they were. Lestharia would slink out of history, instead choosing to use the arcane to disguise herself as a member or any race that would pick her fancy so she could go and learn about them. During this time, Lestharia kept a massive extensive journal detailing history as she was watching it. Of course, she would have to fake her death many times. But the stirrings of her full power wouldn't be felt until the Scourge invasion of Lordaeron.

At this time, Lestharia was disguised as a human woman of fair skin and dark hair who was living in the woods outside of Brill. Word of course, reached her of the plague spreading in the north lands. But Lesth was not too concerned at the time. Plagues were apart of life. She knew the humans would deal with it. If only she had known then what she knows now. A few months later, the Scourge would be unleashed onto Lordaeron with the traitor prince, Arthas, leading it. Lestharia decided to reveal herself then only as a rogue mage not bound to the Kirin Tor and helped to save who she could, joining up with a few Lordaeron soldiers and civilians that was fleeing from the fallen kingdom. Joining up with Jaina's expedition to the west, she was nervous about returning Kalimdor. But it was the best move that they could make at the time. She fought as that rogue human mage up until the Battle of Mount Hyjal. Finally, deciding to forsake the disguise, she dropped the illusion and showed who she truly was. Dressed in her ancient armor with the old commander markings, runeblade in her right hand, and a recently acquired metal staff in her left hand. She fought on the front line, fighting like hell against the combined forces of the Legion and the Scourge. Finally, the Kaldorei surrendered their immortality and the World Tree surrendered it's power, causing the allied forces to win. While Lestharia was still in exile, she still said hello to a few old friends from the Kaldorei. Then she returned with the Alliance forces back east, choosing to become a mercenary for the newly formed Alliance.

Lestharia would go on to serve as a mercenary with the Alliance military. Before the reopening of the Dark Portal, she would be involved in a few skirmishes between Alliance and Horde forces. When the Portal did open again, she joined in on the expedition through it. Finding Honor Hold and the Outlands as they were, she would again become involved in skirmishes against Horde forces. However, things changed when the Lich King would become active once again. Joining rather quickly in the Valiance Expedition, she traveled north to Northrend and fought against the Scourge, eventually leaving the Alliance forces and fighting besides the Argent Crusade so she could fight on the front lines against the Scourge. When the Lich King finally fell, she returned back to Stormwind a victor and she decided to take a little vacation from the fighting, deciding on journeying to Hyjal to meet with a few old friends of hers. Then the Cataclysm happened. Fighting mostly against the Twilights, she became neutral in the fighting between Alliance and Horde while Deathwing was active, choosing to fight beside the dragons against the monster. When Pandaria was discovered, she decided to go back to the Alliance, fighting with the military and soon becoming a full member of the military. At this time, she met Grand Marshel Maxen Montclair and joined the First Regiment for the first time. Joining the Foreign Legion of the First, she rose quickly to become it's Commander and a good friend of Maxen. However, certain circumstances would force Lestharia out of this office and she once again turned mercenary for the Alliance, fighting beside the military towards the present day. With that, she once again joined the First Regiment, working towards her recommission as an officer the best she can.
