The Night Elves

• The night elves of Darnassus.
  • The night elves have lived peacefully for centuries in the shadowy forests of northern Kalimdor until the events of the Third War when they allied with the survivors of Lordaeron and the Thrall's Horde at the behest of Medivh in order to defeat Archimonde at the Battle of Mount Hyjal. However the continuous deforesting actions of the orcs in the forests of Ashenvale have forced them to break away from the Horde and remain allied with the Alliance alone.
  • Led by High Priestess Tyrande Whisperwind and Archdruid Malfurion Stormrage.
    • Other leaders include: General Shandris Feathermoon who commands the Sentinel Army and Archdruid Broll Bearmantle who is in charge of druid affairs in Darnassus.
  • Capital is Darnassus, located on the new World Tree of Teldrassil, which was completely healed recently, off the coast of northern Kalimdor.
  • The Night Elves control directly several larger outposts, including Astranaar and Forest Song (jointly with the Draenei) in Ashenvale, Feathermoon Stronghold in Feralas, the port of Lor'danel in Darkshore, and Sylvanaar in Blade's Edge Mountains.
  • The Highborne have returned to Darnassus after their long exile to make amends and begin to train new generations of night elven mages after the shattering. They also offer their services to the Alliance with Reforging.
    • Led by Archmage Mordent Evenshade. Other leaders may include Daros Moonlance.
  • The forest dwelling night elves have befriended many beasts and magical creatures over the centuries, including Nightsabers and Hippogryphs (whom they use as mounts) and many other forest animals that helped them in their conflicts like mountain giants, chimaeras and faerie dragons.
