## About

**Tyrande Whisperwind** is the chosen high priestess of the Goddess Elune, the future general of the Night Elf Sentinels, as well as the Sisterhood of Elune. Together with archdruid Malfurion Stormrage, she will go on to represent the highest leadership of the Kaldorei for over 10,000 years, after the fall of Queen Azshara and the Highborne caste.

In the unaltered course of events, shortly before the start of the War of the Ancients, Tyrande met the orc Broxigar, whom she helped escape from captivity in Suramar, and later reunited with the time-traveling Krasus and Rhonin.

During the War of the Ancients, Tyrande healed the wounded in Suramar along with the other priestesses, who had turned the Temple of Elune into a refuge. The brothers Malfurion and Illidan Stormrage both saw her as a love interest, but in the end Tyrande would only return the feelings to one of them.

When the night elven rebellion led by Kur'talos Ravencrest finally arrived to Suramar, the priestesses of the moon donned their armor and joined with them. Many civilians joined the host, and Suramar was abandoned. One of those civilians was a young orphan named Shandris Feathermoon, a little girl that would look up to Tyrande ever after.

Before High Priestess Dejahna died at the hands of the Burning Legion, she named her successor, one who was favored by Elune and touched with the power of the Goddess herself, Tyrande. A new recruit herself, she doubted her ability to lead the order, yet she still accepted her new role as High Priestess in honor of Dejahna. All the priestesses agreed with Dejahna's decision for they too believed Tyrande's abilities to be extraordinary, and a sign of Elune's approval.

Tyrande was later abducted by the satyr Xavius and imprisoned within Queen Azshara's palace. There she would again cross paths with Dath'Remar Sunstrider, who would free her when the rebel armies finally marched on the palace.

## History

Tyrande Whisperwind grew up together with the two male night elf twins, Malfurion and Illidan Stormrage, in the kaldorei city of Suramar, the city of her birth.

Despite the brothers' origins being of Lorlathil, Val'sharah, the three were inseparable despite their homely duties. Whether it was playing in the woods, racing, or learning to hunt, Tyrande consistently bested the brothers. Malfurion and Illidan Stormrage both saw her as a love interest, but in the end Tyrande would only return the feelings to one of them.

Shortly before the start of the War of the Ancients, Tyrande traveled with her mentor, High Priestess Dejahna, to the North-Western region of Kalimdor, as missionaries to help the wounded and investigate the rumours of a pestilence taking over the distant corners of the Highborne Empire.

## War of the Ancients

Tyrande's paths crossed with the Red Sun when she and High Priestess Dejahna were ambushed by the necromantic Naga of House Orias, in the North-Western region of ancient Kalimdor. The Sisterhood of Elune chapter of Suramar had left to pursue the troubling news coming from the far corners of Azshara's empire. Fearing for the Sisterhood chapter at Hajiri, they set out to the distant temple and lent their aid to the strife-stricken land wherever they could along the way.

The dangers of their journey were great and Dejahna's 'pilgrimage' to Hajiri suffered terrible losses along the way. By the time the Blood Elves found them, the Suramar chapter of the Sisterhood of Elune had been whittled down to just the two. Dejahna offered protest to altering their course and accompanying the strangers to their stronghold, but Tyrande pleaded that outnumbered as they were, their initial task of setting out to help Hajiri had already failed -- as instead they had found themselves to be the ones in need of aid.

Despite their timely rescue, Tyrande remained wary of the foreigners - having met their 'precursors' from House Veridis and House Sarafen - yet the Red Sun went to great lengths to make amends. The still-young kaldorei priestess's loyalty was hard won, but once it had been attained it remained absolute.
