Overview
The Kingdom of Quel'Thalas lies in the northern reaches of the Eastern Kingdoms and is home to the blood elves. Rebuilt from the ravages of the Scourge invasion, its capital Silvermoon stands as a radiant blend of arcane grandeur and elven pride. The kingdom retains a strong cultural identity, distinct from its Horde allies, yet remains a vital force within the faction.
Cultural Identity
Silvermoon thrives on tradition, magical prowess, and a fierce determination to reclaim its former glory. Its citizens hold tightly to their Highborne roots, with a culture steeped in the arcane. While many revere the Sunwell as a source of both spiritual and magical strength, the memory of loss and rebirth shapes much of the national consciousness.
Military & Influence
The blood elven military is well-trained and highly disciplined, consisting of the elite Blood Knights, spellbreakers, and Farstriders. Though Silvermoon was once isolationist, its alignment with the Horde has brought broader strategic importance. Lor'themar Theron's diplomatic skill has secured Quel'Thalas as a stabilizing force within Horde politics.
Recent Developments
Following the restoration of the Sunwell and the unification of the blood elf people, Silvermoon has seen a resurgence in both population and power. The city remains on high alert, wary of both internal unrest and external threats—particularly from the remnants of the Scourge, rogue magi, and tensions with the Alliance-aligned void elves.
