The ancient and reclusive night elves have played a pivotal role in
shaping Azeroth’s fate throughout its history. More than ten thousand
years ago, their heroics during the War of the Ancients helped stave off
the demonic Burning Legion’s first invasion. When the scattered
remnants of the Legion on Azeroth rallied together with the vile satyrs
centuries later, the night elves again rose to meet the threat. The
ensuing War of the Satyr exacted a heavy toll from the night elves, but
ultimately they vanquished the forces that had set out to wreak havoc on
their world.
