blizzard doesn't know its own lore, why should i?

[eluneadore]

THE WAR OF THE ANCIENTS.*as a young novice of the sisterhood of elune and childhood friend of the stormrage twins, tyrande had an adventurous youth that led to her being better with a bow than her friends, and would place her in on the front lines of the war itself. tyrande's aptitude for communing with elune herself led the previous high priestess to name her the successor for leadership of the sisters, a title that she would carry through thousands of years. furthermore, while both illidan and malfurion stormrage fell in love with her, tyrande would eventually realize that her affection for malfurion was stronger than it was for illidan.

THE TIME IN-BETWEEN.kicked out the highborne for practicing magic. agreed to throw illidan in jail. some other stuff.

THE THIRD WAR.murdered a whole lot of her own people to set illidan free. became deeply disappointed in him shortly after. also something about lost immortality. demons. falling off a bridge.

A LOT OF WARS.political drama with what's his face. actually marrying malfurion. some other expansions. hey blizzard, do you remember that tyrande is the leader of the night elves and not malfurion? no? damn.


THE NIGHT WARRIOR.**i swear to god blizzard why do you think every woman who's undergone trauma turns into someone who's going to go on a murder spree.

* i think we can all agree that these books are trash, so i've generally assumed that events went down in a manner that keeps everyone from looking like, well. like they did in the books. tyrande is actually a competent fighter, pre-sargeras illidan doesn't make himself completely unlikeable, and malfurion remains as clueless as ever. love you, mal.

** woman becomes avatar of her goddess's vengeance, still gets trapped by man and needs rescuing. what the fuck, blizzard.
