WARCRAFT NUMBERS MEME: FIVE RACES (5/5)
For nearly 7,000 years, high elven society centered on the sacred Sunwell of Quel’Thalas, a magical fount that was created using a vial of pure arcane energy from the first Well of Eternity. During the Third War, however, the high elves were nearly scoured from Azeroth as a Scourge army led by Arthas Menethil stormed into Quel’Thalas looking to use the Sunwell to resurrect the fallen necromancer Kel’Thuzad. The survivors of the onslaught renamed themselves the “blood elves” in honor of their fallen people, their slain monarch, their annihilated Sunwell, and their ravaged kingdom.
