Ambient Azeroth: Dire Maul- Prison of Immoltar (dungeon ambience)

I just realized Suramar had a lot in common with Eldre’Thalas.

Both cities were occupied by Night Elf Highborne that during the Sundering put up a magical barrier to protect themselves from the outside world. The Shen’dralar and the Nightborne both sustained this barrier and themselves with a magical power source in the city. As time went on however, people in the cities began to be sacrificed for the “greater good” of  the city’s survival by corrupt leaders.

"We once were the nobility of an illustrious Empire. Now but an echo of the past they say: lords and ladies of rubble."

Itched to do something related to the Highborne again

Lalueur was surprised to learn the Shen’dralar allow wisps to roam the library unattended.  She would never dream of being so lax at her own library in Suramar.  ;)

Character Idea

After Prince Tortheldrin’s culling of most of Eldre’thalas’ population, he places an embargo on children to prevent the pylon system from overloading again. A Highborne lady ends up pregnant, has the child, but sequesters it outside of the city and leaves it there (probably to die). A random Kaldorei wanders close enough to Eldre’thalas to hear the baby crying and takes it home, raising it as their own child. 

Behold: a Highborne “orphan” who maybe has a penchant for the arcane, but never learns it and is raised like any ‘ol Kaldorei. Extra drama points for the fact that the Shen’dralar have just rejoined Kaldorei society, meaning this child could reunite with their actual birth parents.

(feel free to use this in any capacity!)

The Shen’dralar

An ancient order of arcanists, the Shen’dralar resided within the city of Eldre’Thalas (a.k.a. Dire Maul). Under Prince Tortheldrin, these Highborne personally served Queen Azshara’s will and boasted a wealth of magical knowledge and power. After the Sundering, they were cut off from their elven kin and spent the next ten millennia maintaining and expanding their power—no matter the cost.

Lorekeeper Lydros: “What you must understand is that being able to index 10,000 years of existence has given me a rather unique perspective on life. Your present-day trials and tribulations are meaningless.”

RP Ideas An OC might be an apprentice studying arcane magic at the Tower of Estulan; an older OC may have been part of the ancient faction but not in Eldre’Thalas when the Sundering occurred; perhaps an OC had a loved one, relative, or friend who was thought lost after the Sundering, only to learn they survived (or perhaps were one of the Prince’s victims!) upon the Highborne’s return to Kaldorei society; etc!
