Dream's End Part IV:

Sentinel's Tale

PREFACE

 

Due to the treachery of Illidan Stormrage, after the first Well of Eternity was destroyed, a second was created atop Mount Hyjal. The night elves swore to protect it, and Tyrande Whisperwind founded the Sentinels to do so. The Sentinels became the military arm of the night elves. Primarily composed of women, the Sentinels were led by the Priestesses of the Moon, who worshipped the moon goddess Elune and used her blessings to aid them in battle. For the next ten thousand years they built up their defenses surrounding Mount Hyjal with the help of the many woodland creatures, such as dryads and Keepers of the Grove, to aid them.

Among the more bestial creatures who allied with them were the hippogryphs. These mythical, intelligent beasts brought the night elves much-needed air support, and many migrated up to Ashenvale from the southern Feralas for this purpose. Eventually, the Sentinels began mounting the hippogryphs and using them to attack from the air.

This time became known as the Long Vigil. Shortly after the Long Vigil ended, marked with the destruction of the World Tree Nordrassil, the new arch-druid, Fandral Staghelm, created Teldrassil, a new World Tree, in the hopes of replacing the energies lost by Nordrassil. Within its upper canopy, the city of Darnassus was established, and night elves society quickly came to centre itself there.
