Night Elves

The Night Elves are a mysterious race whose thirst for magic and power led to the rise and fall of an ancient empire. This empire had a dark side that attracted the attention of the Burning Legion, which led to the War of the Ancients and The Sundering, a powerful magical explosion that split the world. The new generation of night elves abandoned arcane magic and instead rebuilt their civilization to live in harmony with nature. They lived in Kalimdor for thousands of years, undisturbed by anyone, until the world tree and their immortality were sacrificed to stop the new advance of the Burning Legion.

The night elf capital city is Darnassus, situated in the branches of the world tree itself. The city is home to the Temple of the Moon, the center of worship of Elune.

Night Elves begin in Teldrassil Other zones which focus on night elf lore include Darkshore, Ashenvale, Desolace, Feralas, Felwood, and Mount Hyjal.
