Blood elf flash game
Not only do they mend bone and spirit, but they also act as a fist of vengeance for those who would transgress against the sin'dorei. With the Sunwell restored, now a mixture of both holy and arcane power, it would appear that some sin'dorei - Liadrin in particular - have converted or converted back to its teachings. Others, however, are not so eager to abandon their old ways. The blood elven crest, seen on many banners, tabards , and buildings in and outside of Quel'Thalas , depicts a phoenix.
Metaphorically, this represents the blood elves' "rebirth" from the ashes of their destroyed kingdom and brethren, sundered in the Third War , and as a more formidable people for having done so. There are many other beliefs and practices found within blood elf society, and a number of which have clashing ideals - such as the beliefs and policies of the Blood Knights and the Farstriders. The blood elves use a phoenix as their main motif.
The phoenix is found on their banners, their racial crest the Icon of Blood , weaponry , buildings, tents, and many other sightings. Metaphorically, the nature of the phoenix represents their "rebirth" from the ashes of their sundered brethren, a sentiment also reflected by the blood elves' moniker. Generally, the phoenix is portrayed as gold and emblazoned upon a red background, though it has several alterations and variations:. A prefix referencing one in some way "Brightwing," "Sunhallow," "Dawnglow," "Blazefeather," etc.
However, some others eschew this altogether and have fairly standard elven names that evoke no particular imagery; Lor'themar Theron himself is a prominent example of this. Some blood elves changed their surnames as a further homage to their fallen people and loved ones, taking names such as "Bloodwatcher," "Bloodblade," and "Bloodwrath.
Blood elves speak Thalassian , the language of their ancient race. It is a derivative of Darnassian , leading to some overlap and linguistic similarities between the two languages. Several of the common sin'dorei sayings spoken in-game have been translated by the Warcraft Encyclopedia's entry on Thalassian, found here.
A blood elf alongside a dragonhawk. The blood elves' most common mount is the hawkstrider , a cockatrice-like creature that appears to be native to the forests of Quel'Thalas , found no-where else in Azeroth aside from in the blood elves' care.
Valued for their trustworthiness and speed, these colorful avian creatures embody the inherent splendor of the forests within the blood elven kingdom. Dragonhawks are another creature the blood elves have a positive relationship with. They have been used as flying mounts, and have battled alongside their elven masters in several conflicts.
The sin'dorei once had a natural affinity with the creatures of Eversong. The mana wyrms once served as guardians to the various crystals and arcane structures around the elven kingdom. However, they have since become maddened by the Scourge invasion, and the blood elves have even been seen to feed upon them.
The lynxes and treants were also once allies of the elves, though without the ability to control the recalcitrant former and formerly cooperative latter, they have also become hostile in the wake of the Scourge attack. More recently, mana wyrms have been deployed by the blood elves on the Isle of Thunder , as a countermeasure against hostile magic-users.
Blood elves have been shown to keep cats around their cities and settlements, the proud and independent creature perhaps reflective of the blood elves' own attitude. In addition, blood elves have employed all manners of arcane-empowered indulgences, such as magical brooms to sweep the streets, crystals found all around Silvermoon, and flower ornaments found in magical levitation.
The blood elves keep and control a large number of magically-imbued guardians to supplement their own guard force, named the Arcane Guardians. These hulking, robotic constructs serve as Silvermoon City 's elite patrol force, with the ability to seek out and destroy enemies regardless of where they hide. They are also employed by the Blood Knight order , as seen with Gatewatcher Aendor and his ilk, and the Scryers have also created their own guardians.
After the reclamation of the Sunwell, the Arcane Guardians have also been stationed around the holy font of power to assist the blood elven guard force there. It appears that these guardians were created during the reign of King Anasterian , though the quel'dorei had never been seen to make use of them prior to their conversion to sin'dorei. The Arcane Guardians have also been used as a propagandistic tool by the magisters , and will periodically remind citizens that the laws of Silvermoon must be obeyed, that Lor'themar Theron will lead them to power and glory, that Quel'Thalas will remain strong in the wake of Kael'thas' betrayal, and will openly encourage the citizens of Silvermoon to live their lives in happiness.
In addition to the standard golems, the blood elves under Prince Kael'thas and Kil'jaeden created powerful alterations of the standard arcane guardian, dubbed the fel golems , towering constructs surging with fel power. The Sunreaver Onslaught further elaborated upon the fel golem design, creating new constructs the Pyrestar Demolisher and the Haywire Sunreaver Construct capable of more diverse and powerful abilities, sans the demonic input. Furthermore, the blood elves have acquired the use of blood golems , formidable mechanical constructs forged in the Throne of Thunder , formerly under Lei Shen 's command.
On Outland , the Sunfury blood elves created the mana bomb , an arcane-based weapon capable of great destruction. Both Kirin'Var Village and the Cenarion Thicket were wholly annihilated by the mana bombs' force, while another was procured for an attack on Theramore Isle ; further empowered by the Focusing Iris , the bomb destroyed the entire isle. Tactical mana bombs have also been produced, albeit their volatile nature makes them ill-suited for use by rank-and-file soldiers.
Floating crystals adorn several blood elven cities and outposts. These come in two flavors: the fel crystals also referred to as Burning Crystals on Sunstrider Isle , and the more standard mana crystals.
The former is a device created by the Magisters to store demonic energy; in this state, several magi were seen to drain power from the crystals directly. They were once found around Quel'Thalas, though Rommath stated that they were removed after the Sunwell was restored. A key theme in the blood elven narrative is the Light's fall from grace in Thalassian society, and its subsequent revival following The Burning Crusade's finale. Most of the elves became disillusioned with the Light following the Third War , holding it in contempt for failing their homeland in its hour of greatest need.
A cluster of Blood Crystals. Now, the Blood Knights can freely channel the Light force they need from the restored Sunwell , the new fount of power a mixture of both holy and arcane energies.
Blood elven priests are separated from the Magisters. The blood elves are a proud people, and as history has shown, they prefer to keep to their own company. Quel'Thalas enjoyed seclusion from the younger races for a long while, until both the Troll Wars and the Second War forced them into alliances with humanity.
Despite this, Quel'Thalas was quick to retreat back into independent seclusion until the Scourge invasion - at which point, they began to actively seek new allies under Lor'themar Theron and Kael'thas Sunstrider 's directive. They are currently members of the Horde. A sin'dorei Blood Knight and a draenei mage , beyond the Dark Portal.
The blood elves remaining on Azeroth have developed a relationship with the Forsaken due to Queen Sylvanas Windrunner , who was Ranger-general of Silvermoon until Arthas converted her into undeath against her will. The queen claims that she still considers herself one of the foremost protectors of Quel'Thalas. She has repeatedly offered assistance in the form of supplies and troops.
The sin'dorei initially feared a trick, though ultimately relented and allowed Sylvanas to station Forsaken troops in the Ghostlands to help supplement the overstretched blood elven military fighting to secure it. Following this, Quel'Thalas and Undercity have developed something of a camaraderie, and an orb was constructed to allow quick travel between the two nations. The people of Quel'Thalas itself have seemingly come to view their former Ranger General as something of a hero, who gave her life to protect Silvermoon and continues to assist it in undeath.
Ironically, Sylvanas' relationship with the blood elven regent Lor'themar Theron her former second in command and his Grand Magister does not appear to be particularly positive, and Sylvanas had to twist his arm with threats to see him dedicate troops to the Northrend war effort.
Valeera Sanguinar , a blood elf rogue, does battle with a draenei paladin. Following the actions of the bigoted Grand Marshal Garithos , the blood elves became more opposed to the notion of working with the Alliance than ever.
Despite this, Quel'Thalas did engage in diplomatic relations with an Ironforge ambassador, though this did not end too well. Already suspicious of the few scattered high elves who still exist, the Alliance considers the blood elves even less trustworthy.
Night elves are particularly hostile toward blood elves: to night elves, the sin'dorei stink of desperation and arcane magic. Even after Theramore's fall, despite the tension, Jaina Proudmoore was still able to sympathize with the blood elves despite her new hatred for the Horde in Landfall.
A number have raised their voices against Ironforge, even going so far as to state how the dwarves have "never been a friend" to Quel'Thalas, but this sentiment is sparse. The rivalry between the sin'dorei and the dwarves regarding ancient artifacts has recently emerged, the Reliquary rising to counter the dwarven Explorer's League. The elves of Quel'Thalas are one of the few races the dwarves of Aerie Peak have ever trusted; the elves sent their evacuated children to seek refuge with them during the Scourge invasion.
The blood elves have a convoluted history with the draenei. Kael'thas's blood elven forces were responsible for the bewildered draenei fleeing Outland in the Exodar , and furthermore responsible for its crash landing into Azeroth.
They later attempted to summon reinforcements from Tempest Keep in order to conquer the Exodar completely and slaughter the remaining draenei. Prophet Velen , however, had seen a vision of what was to come - including the fate of M'uru , Lady Liadrin 's plight, and Silvermoon City 's future in the wake of Kael'thas' betrayal. Despite the grievances perpetrated by Kael'thas' blood elves against the draenei, Velen himself would be the one to reignite the Sunwell for the sin'dorei with M'uru's final spark.
Despite their misgivings, the Shattered Sun Offensive a coalition of the Aldor and the Scryers showcased what the two races can do when of a like mind, as many of their intermingling NPCs attest. The two races fought together once again in Warlords of Draenor.
A particularly bitter grudge lies between the blood elves and the night elves. Indeed, night elves regard blood elves with suspicion, disgust, or outright hostility, [34] while the blood elves, in turn, view their kaldorei cousins as savages. More recently, the blood elves have expressed an outrage at the return of the Highborne into the night elves' ranks, and are eager to see the trouble the new kaldorei magi will no doubt get themselves into.
The sin'dorei have also assisted in removing the night elves from Azshara , eager to learn more of their Highborne heritage with the kaldorei out of the picture. The blood elves have a somewhat divided opinion on what remains of their high elven brethren.
Some, such as Halduron Brightwing and Tae'thelan Bloodwatcher , have expressed no particular grudge or strong feelings towards the quel'dorei remnants; the former has referred to the elven race collectively as the "children of Silvermoon," while the latter has outright stated his intention to free the elves from their addiction, and unite them as the proud race they once were.
Lor'themar Theron and Halduron have allowed them access to the Sunwell, though Lor'themar himself has also displayed some hostility towards some high elves such as Vereesa Windrunner , who had opposed the blood elves' inclusion into the Kirin Tor.
Many blood elves once had strong ties to Dalaran and the Kirin Tor , having produced productive members of the Kirin Tor for over 2, years, Prince Kael'thas himself having studied there and Grand Magister Rommath having once lived there.
However, the Kirin Tor did not intervene when Grand Marshal Garithos sentenced the blood elves to an unjust death, leaving Rommath and his magisters to hold a strong hatred towards them for it.
With the blood elven Archmage Aethas Sunreaver on the Council of Six , and existing members of the Six expressing a desire to reestablish good relations with the blood elves, [13] some sin'dorei have welcomed the ability to rejoin the Kirin Tor, though Rommath's disdain for this notion still persists.
Archmage Athas holds a strong position in the Kirin Tor, whose followers who bear his namesake, the Sunreavers have secured a large portion of the city of Dalaran for the blood elves and their allies' use.
It was the Reds who gifted Quel'Delar to the high elves Alexstrasza personally handed it to Anasterian , and her consort Korialstrasz maintained an interest in the elves' affairs, arriving only narrowly too late to save the Sunwell from Arthas. The vast majority of blood elves are now members of the Horde , this alliance conveying a strong clash of culture.
The blood elves are a major part of the eastern Horde, along with their former Ranger-general Sylvanas Windrunner and the Forsaken. As relatively new members, the blood elves have sent several diplomats to various cities and leaders of the Horde such as Ambassador Sunsorrow and Ambassador Dawnsinger , and diplomats of each Horde nation are found within Silvermoon City. Though the wider Horde was initially reluctant to forge allegiances with the sin'dorei, the vouching of Sylvanas, and the general consensus that the blood elves could bring to the table what the Horde had previously lacked, [69] would ultimately pave way to Quel'Thalas being accepted as an equal independent nation of the Horde.
Several blood elves prefer to keep with their own company, viewing their deployment outside of Quel'Thalas as something of a nuisance, though others have been seen to integrate fairly well into the wider Horde, even coming to appreciate its vastly different culture that still permits theirs to exist in its own right.
Modern blood elves are largely proud to be a part of the Horde after the struggles the faction supported them through, with Silvermoon now having a lucrative place as a voice at the Horde Council table. The blood elves were a major driving force in the Horde's Northrend campaign, Aethas Sunreaver ensuring them a vital sanctuary within the former Alliance city of Dalaran. A number of the sin'dorei have risen in the Horde's ranks, serving as generals [71] and as spy leaders.
Some powerful blood elves have even been inducted into the Kor'kron Guard , [73] the most elite fighting force in the Horde's arsenal. The blood elven Reliquary is dedicated to giving the Horde a monopoly on artifacts of great power.
The relationship between the Darkspear tribe and the sin'dorei is a complicated one. Some blood elves such as Paelarin appear openly hostile to the trolls, going as far as to refuse them service despite their shared allegiance. On the other hand, Chieftain Vol'jin himself has a fairly amiable and respectful relationship with both Lor'themar Theron and Ranger General Halduron Brightwing , perhaps born of their more moderate outlooks.
As time has gone on, relations with both trolls as well as the other Horde races have improved. In the aftermath of the failed Broken Shore excursion, various blood elves expressed concern for the well-being of Horde soldiers and Vol'jin. Numerous blood elves attended the funeral for the latter and answered the call to arms to avenge him, their Regent Lord additionally serving as one of the slain Warchief's pallbearers. The blood elves have found a kinship with the nightborne , both due to their shared history of magical withdrawal issues and being descended from fellow Highborne elves.
A blood elf expedition force joining the resistance to liberate Suramar City lead to increased comradery between the two groups. Contrary to the very cold and distrustful reception they received from the night elves , blood elf representatives led by Lady Liadrin endorsed the Horde as a means of preserving cultural autonomy and as a reliable force to help ensure the safety of both of their people's against the outside world; something that could be a great benefit to the nightborne as it had come to be for the blood elves.
This contributed greatly to the nightborne choosing to join the Horde as well. Anasterian's long rule, which lasted at least roughly 2, years, was complemented by the Convocation of Silvermoon , a high council of elven lords who had vowed to assist the Sunstriders in keeping Quel'Thalas safe. However, during the Scourge onslaught, Anasterian was killed and the entire Convocation was eradicated.
In the wake of the utter destruction of Quel'Thalas' leadership, Prince Kael'thas Sunstrider went on to become the sole leader of the newly named blood elves. Though still essentially a monarch, Kael'thas did not appear to officially take the elven crown, instead styling himself as the "Lord of the blood elves" and "The Sun King. Ultimately, with the betrayal and death of Prince Kael'thas, Lor'themar has become the sole leader of the blood elven people. With the Sunstrider dynasty completely finished, the crown is unclaimed, and even Lor'themar himself has opted not to take it - or restore the Convocation - instead retaining his role as the "Regent Lord.
As such, the blood elves are currently in a state of interregnum, with Regent Lord Lor'themar Theron as their sole leader. The blood elves have a number of other leaders. Halduron Brightwing , the Ranger-general of Silvermoon , serves as the leader of the Farstriders and the blood elven military commander. Grand Magister Rommath presides over the magisters , the most magically-inclined and powerful spellcasters in sin'dorei society, while Lady Liadrin rules the Blood Knight order as its supreme leader and Matriarch.
The sin'dorei have a number of organizations, mostly affiliated directly with Quel'Thalas. One of the most prominent groups within Quel'Thalas, and a group whose magical formidability is considered fearsome by even Dalaran 's standards, [13] are the magisters.
Led by Rommath , the Grand Magister of Quel'Thalas , the magisters are among the most respected and politically powerful groups in all of Quel'Thalas and serves as Silvermoon's primary order of magi. They are directly responsible for the reclamation of the elven homeland from the Scourge , and it was their mastery over magic that enabled them to rebuild Silvermoon City "almost overnight.
The various arcane structures around the city itself are empowered by their volatile magics, and the thought of what one of the most powerful magi organizations in Azeroth could bring to the Horde was a key component in the blood elves being accepted by it.
The magisters have continued to wield a large amount of respect and political sway within Quel'Thalas, though whether their police state consensus persists despite the changes sweeping Quel'Thalas is unknown, if unlikely. One of the most iconic elven organizations are the Farstriders.
This elite organization of blood elf rangers can trace its roots back to the Troll Wars when a loosely affiliated band of high elf warriors occasionally worked together to defend Quel'Thalas. Led by the Ranger-general of Silvermoon , Halduron Brightwing , they are perhaps the group most in touch with their high elven roots. Masters of the wilderness and many knowing their homeland inside and out, the Farstriders operate mostly in and around Quel'Thalas.
Peerless marksmen and women, they are the masters of surgical strikes and ambushes. Though part of the blood elven government, they are not a formal military. Indeed, they have long been considered the epitome of selfless dedication. The Farstriders were against the creation of the Blood Knights , and Halduron himself vocally opposed the exploitation of M'uru. The two blood elven organizations do not generally get along too well.
Blood Knight. After the blood elves began to use more dubious methods of sating their addiction, a number of the elves felt the Light abandon them.
In turn, this led Lady Liadrin , a priestess of the light, to renounce her vows on the grounds that the light had forsaken the sin'dorei race. However, Prince Kael'thas would later subdue a being of pure light - a naaru named M'uru - and had it sent back to Quel'Thalas. Rather than feed upon its energy, the magisters devised a better use of its power - and after experimentation, they succeeded in allowing the blood elves to forcibly take their holy power from the supposedly unwilling being.
Thus, the Blood Knights were born, under Liadrin's personal leadership. The will of the order would be tested when M'uru was stolen from Silvermoon, and the Blood Knights were left bereft of a power source. However, with the revitalization of the Sunwell , reborn as a fount of holy and arcane power, the Blood Knights of Silvermoon now channel their power directly from it - a far less damaging and more harmonious relationship than their previous method of wielding the light.
The Blood Knights quickly gained popular support within Quel'Thalas, and their membership has since expanded. The Blood Knights serve as the iron protectors of Quel'Thalas, faithful servants of Silvermoon, and occasionally as state enforcers. Led by Archmage Aethas Sunreaver , the Sunreavers are a group of blood elves who desire to see the sin'dorei admitted as members of the Kirin Tor. Traditionally barred from Dalaran , the Horde was granted sanctuary in the city due to their efforts.
Due to recent betrayals of the Kirin Tor from within the group, Jaina Proudmoore ordered them purged from Dalaran. This event led to the incarceration of Sunreaver civilians and those who were willing to surrender, and the demise of those who were not. Backed by Silvermoon and championed by regent lord Lor'themar himself, the Sunreavers who escaped the purge took up arms against Lei Shen and the Kirin Tor on the Isle of Thunder , with the goal of acquiring powerful leverage to secure the blood elves' future should Garrosh Hellscream 's Horde fall to anarchy.
The Reliquary seeks to acquire artifacts of great power, and use them to free the elven race of the remains of their magical addiction completely. The Sunfury banner, a darker texture of its Silvermoon City equivalent, depicting the metaphorical phoenix of Quel'Thalas with two heads instead of one. The Sunfury were among the most powerful blood elves that Prince Kael'thas led into Outland.
They numbered in the thousands. Led by numerous generals such as Daellis Dawnstrike , a group attacked and slaughtered the local Kirin'Var Village and its residents, and other members of the Sunfury saw to the dismantling of the manaforges in the area for their master's gain.
They also acquired numerous bloodgem shards, which they channeled into bloodgem crystals for a temporary empowerment. The Sunfury were one of the more ruthless sects of blood elves found in Outland. Following the betrayal of Kael'thas, however, a number of the Sunfury returned home to serve their people rather than follow Kael's increasingly damning path, thus affiliating themselves with Quel'Thalas and the Horde. Though now an official part of Silvermoon's military, the Sunfury have made only a minor appearance in World of Warcraft in such an incarnation.
The Scryers were once high ranking blood elves in Prince Kael'thas's army, their ranks including some of the most gifted scholars and magisters that Kael had led into Outland.
They are led by Voren'thal the Seer , a magus of considerable prowess and age. Believing that the Sin'dorei's only chance for survival rested with the naaru, Voren'thal and his followers chose to abandon Kael's cause. Voren'thal and his forces were ordered to attack Shattrath City , though threw down their weapons and requested an audience with A'dal instead.
Voren'thal pledged his forces to Shattrath's cause, a defection that vexed Kael'thas—now bereft of some of his strongest followers—greatly.
Now known as the Scryers, Voren'thal and his followers were granted a portion of the city to call their own, which became known as the Scryer's Tier. Though sponsored by the city's naaru hosts, the Scryers' draenei counterparts, the Aldor , did not take kindly to the Scryers' presence in the city; a factional divide quickly broke out between the two. The Scryers sought to save their people from Kael's downfall, and uncovered concrete evidence that the prince had begun consorting with the Burning Legion.
What became of the Scryers following the demise of Kael'thas, the defeat of Kil'jaeden , and the restoration of the Sunwell is unclear, although they still answer to the naaru first and foremost. Notable blood elf organizations affiliated elsewhere with Kael'thas , Illidan or the Burning Legion include the Eclipsion , the Sunseekers , the Shadowsword , the Sunhawks , the Sunblade , the Dawnblade , the Crimson Hand , and the Firewing blood elves.
The San'layn banner, an altered version of the sin'dorei original. Prince Tenris Mirkblood , one of the first San'layn. The blood elves of today descended from the night elves. Though the sin'dorei style themselves as having been "reborn" from the ashes of the shattered quel'dorei , in biological essence the two groups belong to the same race. Blood elves have no permanent settlements on Azeroth; the only blood elf communities are located in Outland, the extradimensional wasteland of Illidan's exile.

Scales with level. Arcane Affinity: 15 point skill bonus to Enchanting note, this also raises the cap by 15 at each level of enchanting. Magic Resistance: Increase all Resistances by 5. Edited, Jan 11th am by kycootheghostss Edited, Jan 11th am by kycootheghostss Edited, Jan 11th pm by kycootheghostss. Comment by Allakhazam Anyone got any pictures of blood elves on raptor mounts? I want to see if it's worth doing all the Durotar quests.
Comment by Allakhazam Now that the Ghostlands has been exhausted where does the level 22 Blood Elf go next? The region to the South, the Eastern Plaguelands, is a little strong for such a Blood Elf and there doesn't seem to be a logical progression onto somewhere else.

Magic Resistance Increase all Resistances by 5. It lasts for ten minutes and has only one charge, and once cast, will cause shadow damage to the melee damage inflicter, and affects that target with a debuff that reduces their damage done by a constant amount.
The amount of damage done and damage reduced increases with levels. Site Link ur Here For more Nfo on the class. I have been checking out the races recently and I really like the design of the BE. So I plan on making my 1st character a BE. So, I was just wandering what is the best class for BE out of the 6 available for it? Fix female dwarf first. Then we can talk. Nah they should delete elfs or move them to another faction of their own.
Fix void elves cant be paladins LOL. I kinda like the whole holy book effect. Wish it was used in all their casting animations. Fix bras as tops or add swimsuits instead. I hate boring homogenization where everyone is the same. Having my weapon to my side like they do in Guild Wars 2 would be pretty neat. For all you bloodthirsty freaks and vampires out there we now have something really cool for you.
Fight against deadly stickmen and leave nothing but red blood. Defend your base and kill all attacking zombies. Start a duel with cowboys and ninjas until there is only one survivor left.
