Thalyssra

Beware, because there are spoilers for patch 8.2.5 in this post.

One of the things we say a lot is "in beta, everything is subject to change" and that's because this happens every beta.

The Night Elves have their own perfectly valid reasons for not trusting the Nightborne right off the bat -- but that isn’t really helpful when trying to forge new alliances.

In between all fighting all the demonic forces the Legion has to offer, there are hints to be found at what might be coming next. The most logical of these? A new player race we’re now intimately familiar with – the Shal’dorei.

With the introduction of the Nighthold Wing 1 through LFR last week came additional interaction during the run with First Arcanist Thalyssra of Suramar.

After doing Suramar for a while and getting Good Suramaritan done, I found myself working on the further storyline quests and I realized something.

The Suramar questline steadily unravels ancient Elven history, from the time before the coming of the Burning Legion to the destruction of the Well of Eternity, and presents you with a gradually unfolding picture of Elvenkind and their society.

They are the ancient Highborne dream deferred.
