Why? Because the Ghostlands was under constant siege from the remnants of the Scourge, which were still running amok due to the meddling of one Dar’khan Drathir. One day, Grand Magister Rommath and Magister Astalor Bloodsworn came up with a great idea: what if you could channel the Light through a weapon like paladins did, but by force? They had a pet Naaru (gifted by Kael) to practice on, so they asked Liadrin if she wanted to try it out. If her people are at stake, then she wants results. Concluding pretty much immediately that it was time to take action that was more decisive than just healing (she was angry at the Light for failing her people, anyway), she strolled on up to Lor’themar about five seconds after returning to Silvermoon, grabbed a nearby club, and said “I am sure one of your men can show me how to use this.” Then she went directly to Quel’Danas to decapitate trolls and undead, without stopping to pass Go or collect $200. She decided to get revenge.īecause if there’s anyone who doesn’t sit around, it’s Liadrin.
She did this almost right up until the very end, when some old friends teleported her to safety (against her will, I might add.) 2.
Not Liadrin, a priestess at the time, who spent her time valiantly working to keep her injured allies alive even as they all fell around her. Reminder that 90% of the elven population died during this thing. She survived the Scourge invasion of Quel’Thalas. ( WARNING: Contains serious spoilers from the novella “Blood of the Highborne.” If you haven’t read that yet, and want to be surprised when reading it, then hold off on reading this article!) The Lady herself! 1. And that, my friends, is a crying shame, because she is freaking amazing. But I rarely see Liadrin getting much attention from either Blizzard or the fanbase.
When people talk about the women of Warcraft, they tend to go with old standbys like Jaina or Sylvanas, or new favorites like Yrel.
