Vael'doreth Tideraiser

Vael'doreth Tideraiser, born on the 20th of March, is a night elf monk. She was raised in Auberdine, where her parents Taldan and Allyndiamanaged a tavern. She now resides at the Lakeshire Inn alongside her aunt Leorie and fiancé  Lot.

Early Life
 Vael'doreth has led quite the troubling life. She spent much of her youth serving and working for her parents, who were always quite busy with the quarrels concerning the inn they strived to keep full. However, Deathwing (otherwise known as "Xaxas" to the night elves) reigned his fury upon the inn the night of Vael'doreth's ninth birthday. The mere pressure of Deathwing's wings upon the inn knocked Vael'doreth's father from the second landing to the bottom of the tavern, killing him in the process.

 Her mother and brother, on the other hand, were on the docks immediately ahead of the inn when Deathwing unsuspectedly glided over them and caused a violent tidal wave. They were lunged into the surrounding waters. As her family struggled to reach the surface and escape, frenzied elementals fresh out of the Abyssal Maw pulled her loved ones deeper into the ocean's depths. ..

 And so it was that a sky of fire and tragedy greeted Vael'doreth that night.

 Years later, she met a man named Zelardo, who was raised in the harsh lands of the Stonetalon Mountains. Vael cared for him, but he grew detached and high strung. In fear of exacerbating his trauma, she left him, taking refuge quite lonesomely in a small house nestled in the thickets of Darkshore. Soon enough, however, Vael'doreth longed for relief from her haunting past. She  escaped to Stormwind on a ship in Rut'theran Village, and began to work in the Crystal Lake inn near Goldshire to make a living.



Post-Cataclysm
Vael'doreth's work at the Crystal Lake inn was yet another odd chapter in her life. Although she learned a lot through the innkeeper's personal library (such as time travel, which she found herself performing twice, and many forms of interesting magic), she could not help but feel that she was becoming unlike herself during her work there. The innkeeper, Ringworm, asked her to do many things. Besides mowing the lawn, keeping the inn's magical defenses up, and managing the tavern's expenses, she tended to his personal hygiene. Odd though the job became, she obeyed his orders, for his comical manner kept her somewhat lighthearted.

As for Zelardo, he encountered Vael'doreth most unexpectedly on the border of Elwynn one night. Upon seeing the familiar face, Vael'doreth relinquished the defenses she had placed upon the site of her encampment, revealing herself to her ex-boyfriend. She then decided to let him help her survive from a group of hunters that threatened to kill her; the bandit drove her away from Goldshire only days previously because she refused to let them stay at the tavern for free.

Weeks passed. Although they did not come across the group of hunters, they nevertheless kept themselves disguised with Blingtrons whenever they decided to step out of the magical boundaries Vael'doreth was so adept at creating. However, Vael could not help but feel frustration: Zelardo had, like before, grown jumpy and detached, stricken by memories of his own laborious and bizarre childhood. He was nowhere to be found one day.

Sensing the group of hunters had probably given up on their search, or merely forgotten their own threats, Vael'doreth set to return to Goldshire. Ringworm seemed to not have noticed she was gone; he was hardly ever at his inn.

Time passed. One day, Ringworm and Vael'doreth set off on a trip. However, forgetting to have picked up a hearthstone, they were forced to camp out one night on the high, steep hills of Stonetalon and Mulgore. Had she remembered to take the stone with her, she could have easily teleported back to Goldshire; nonetheless, she set up enchantments around the area to keep Horde away from where they camped. Little did she know she would not find Ringworm the next morning, for he had unexpectedly abandoned her. Frightened, but left to tackle with the situation, Vael'doreth slipped down the hills through a small trail. Noticing Horde presence, she panicked and stealthed away towards the nearby woods.

After rubbing herself with various leaves and shrubs, stuffing her sleeves with dirt, and sporting a face mask purchased during All Hallow's Eve, Vael'doreth followed the main road, hardly looking like the orc she disguised herself as. Although she could have stealthed through, Vael'doreth had always known her own abilities as a rogue were at a fault. But since a nearby raid flustered and busied the minds of all the individuals present, her escape went by mostly unnoticed. An exception to this was a rather foolish Horde scout who confronted her in suspicion. Her knowledge of Orcish saved her from being found out.

That was the day Vael'doreth met Azzarron, a kind man who worked with lumber. Concerned about the safety of the fellow elf, he joined her (but laughed at her weak disguise.) Although he worked at the Stonetalon Mountains, he had only recently moved there and was surprisingly unfamiliar with the land. Coincidentally, Azzarron was also born in Auberdine.

On their hunt for a sanctuary, they came across a singed land known as The Charred Vale. Oblivious to the nearby Alliance encampments, they hopped on two roaming black drakes, assaulting them and beckoning them towards the Great Sea.

Sick to the stomach and starving soon afterwards, Vael'doreth demanded to settle in the approaching Tirisfal Glades. The two of them spent about a week there, successfully befriending the drakes they had subdued. Vael longed to return home, however, so they once again took flight and headed towards Stormwind at last. They landed on the harbor as the drakes departed.

Unfortunately, Vael'doreth had gone quite ravenous with the events that had occurred. Her unwavering concern for Azzarron pushed her to keep her distance from him in fear of causing further trouble. She now dealt with her own emotional instability alone.
