User:Indraste

Physical Description
Before her scourge rebirth Indraste was remarked as the most beautiful of the high elves. Currently however she has grown into a new sort of beauty, she stands only an inch or two shorter then most females, and is very slim. Her appearence is almost like her High-Born brothers and sisters, however her skin is pale as the moon and her eyes glow with the remnants of scourge magic. She rarely if ever wears make up or anything that would obscure her appearence.

Before the Scourge
Indraste was born to Lord Andrasza and his consort Ilmare nearly 10,000 years ago. Her father was the noble lord Aj'norai of the Quel'dorei beneath Queen Azshara; which ensured her a truly noble and fruitful future. She was, however, born to a much different world then today's Azeroth. Spending most of her youth in the court of Queen Azshara and confined to the libraries and schools of Zin-Azshari. She was well eductaed and selected to be one of the Queen's ladies early on (this caused a great upset for Lady Vashj who swore she would kill Indraste one day).

She grew into her position and birth well, rarely ever acting out and always taking time to consider herself, when she made her public debut at the left side of the Queen people began to take notice of her. She was revered as the most beautiful of the High Elves; her looks at the time were considered exotic as she was the first High Born to have golden blonde hair, feline yellow eyes, and skin that was a soft golden color. She grew beloved by people and by Azshara (who she secretly harbored feelings for), and fought loyally for the High born armies as their Champion and General.

Trouble for Indraste started early, as Queen Azshara began to descend into wicked madness. Upset and afraid she begged the Queen to reconsider using the Well of Eternity; Indraste was cast aside broken hearted and exiled from Zin-Azshari. She fled to Suramar to warn the people but was cast out qickly as Vashj had already made it known that she was a traitor. When Azshara's corruption came full scale in the War of Ancients, Indraste made a desparate move and killed the entirety of a small village. She brought her victims heads to Azshara who returned Indraste to her status as High General.

When she returned to the side of Azshara she began to slowly feed information to the resistance, aiding Malfurion Stormrage, Illidan Stormrage, and Tyrande Whisperwind in secret. She made an attempt finally to meet with the resistance but was caught by Lady Vashj who used her bow Frostfathom to successfully penetrate and incapacitate Indraste. Vashj was on aim to kill when Illidan saved Indraste, she was ever greatful to her savior (some claim she fell in love with him) and aided the resistance against Azshara and the evils of the Burning Legion.

When her High Elf brethern were destroyed Indraste began to fall into her own madness, driven by a strange voice and nightmares she ventured off to the rift. Fighting her way into Nazjatar she faced off again with Azshara in the very throne room of the Naga queen. Indraste was nearly killed, but spared by Azshara after the two struck a deal. Indraste would be a spy for Azshara and warlord of the Naga armies, She left the rift quickly and resumed life in the forests of Quel'Thalas away from people.

War found her again after nearly thousands of years, this time it came in the form of the Scourge. She was in attendance of a wedding with her consort Elovannis when the scourge attacked. She fought most of them off, wielding magic and a sword but soon found herself going sword to sword with Arthas Menethil. The Lich King himself slew her, and marked her in death.

In Service of the Lich King
Having died and then been marked she was ressurected and made into what she had fought against for so long; she became a member of the Scourge. Little is known about her services, only that she acted at the command of The Lich King and took part in many massacre's and campaigns against Azeroth. It was said that she was the one who flew atop bold Sindragosa as the Lich King rallied his armies. However her service was long and tiring, she fought and continued on under the master's control; was even offered to become a Death Knight trainer. She turned it down for unknown reasons.

When Arthas launched his final onslaught at The Battle of Light's Hope she rode in aside Baron Rivendare and Darion Mograine; many of the Crusaders shook in fear and dared not raise a sword to her. Indraste found battle however in Rayne, whose druidic powers matched the sheer bloodlust of the maddened Scourge champion. When the light broke and they were ordered to stand down Indraste fled, fleeing to the City of Orgrimmar and making a deal with Thrall. He would allow her sanctuary if she would act as a guide for upstarting adventurers. She accepted and managed to break herself free from Arthas's grasp.

Present Day
Once freed she began life in Orgrimmar again, taking on normal professions and retiring her bloodlust. She found past comfort in Orgrimmar, and discvoered her consort Elovannis had also been made into a Death Knight. The pair quickly rekindled a bond and were married. She is now able to be found within the residency of Silvermoon often times crafting jewels and trinkets for people.

Allies & Companions
Faoiltiama (friend and pupil, deceased)

Caesala (daughter, vanished, believed to be dead)

Elovannis (husband, friend, and battle companion)

Azshara (former queen, and ally)

The Caesala Controversy
Due to Indraste's age nobody is certain where or when Caesala was born; some suspect that she is the child of Elovannis and Indraste, other's are more weary and believe she was from a previous relationship. Many people have said many things, but only because indraste has long silenced herself regarding Caesala. The most plausible story was that Caesala was born before the War of the Ancients, probably to one of Indraste's consorts. Although Caesala has seemingly disappeared she can be found on the occasion hanging somewhere within the confines of Azeroth.
