subject: Relationship Among High Elves [print this page] One of these high elves was Kael'thas Sunstrider, prince of wow gold cheap Quel'Thalas and a wow gold descendant of Dath'Remar. Kael'thas rose among the ranks of cheap wow gold the wow gold for sale Kirin Tor, eventually becoming a member of the high council. Kael'thas returned to wow buy gold Quel'thalas and runescape gold his people and renamed them blood elves in homage to the elves that gave their lives trying to protect the Sunwell. During the course of his lifetime, Kael'thas sought out a way to "cure" the addiction his people were suffering from -- the same sort of addictive withdrawal that they'd experienced when the original Well of Eternity was destroyed. While seeking out a cure, he was taught how to siphon magic from various sources to "feed" the addiction, something that he then passed on to his people. One of the best sources for this was demonic energy. This fel magic is what causes the blood elves' eyes to glow green with demonic fire. It's been stated in the Warcraft Encyclopedia that the high elves and blood elves are physiologically the same race. When Arthas and the Scourge attacked Quel'Thalas, the high elves scattered even farther. Some remained behind to fight. Others scattered to various parts of the world, which is why you see high elves here and there in places like the Hinterlands. The majority of those who fought at Quel'thalas during the Third War died -- approximately 90% of the high elven population. Not only did Arthas succeed in destroying the Sunwell, he also killed Kael'thas' father Anasterian, the leader of the blood elves at the time, and almost managed to wipe out the high elf population completely. Still only two different species of elves here. We've got the kaldorei of Kalimdor, or night elves, and the quel'dorei of Kalimdor -- who are still night elves but with a different name. Then we have the quel'dorei of the Eastern Kingdoms, or high elves, a separate race. These high elves have split into two factions, quel'dorei (high elves) and sin'dorei (blood elves). The sin'dorei and the quel'dorei of the Eastern Kingdoms do not get along at all, because the sin'dorei have willingly taken up playing around with demonic energy, something that is pretty abhorrent to any quel'dorei who remembers what the Burning Legion did to Azeroth.
