'''Lady Liadrin''' is the Matriarch and supreme leader of the [[Blood Knight]] order. She was once found within [[Silvermoon City]], though was relocated to [[Shattrath]] and later the [[Sunwell]].
Gilneas is set to [[wikipedia:Eastern_time|Eastern Time]] (ET), although it is actually located in Dallas, Texas [http://www.wowwiki.com/US_Realm_List_By_Datacenter#Vindication].
 
   
  +
==Background==
''Source: [http://www.warcraftrealms.com/census.php?serverid=51 Warcraft Realms].''
 
  +
Lady Liadrin was once a [[priest|priestess]] of the [[holy light|light]], though became highly disenchanted after it seemingly "abandoned" the [[sin'dorei]] people. This led Liadrin to ultimately renounce her vows to the light. Some time after, however, the blood elven scion [[Kael'thas Sunstrider]] had a gift delivered to his people in Silvermoon - the subdued [[naaru]], [[M'uru]]. Originally nothing more than a being of great power to sate their magic addiction with, a [[Magisters|magister]] named [[Astalor Bloodsworn]] was dissatisfied with this notion. After much studying and experimentation with his fellow magisters, he was finally able to devise a radical new method of transferring the light itself - against its will - to individuals who had not "earned" the right to wield it. Thus, the sin'dorei found themselves capable of wielding the light once more.
   
  +
Liadrin became aware of this turn of events, and volunteered to become the first [[Blood Knight]]. As such, a new chapter in [[Quel'Thalas]]' history was born. Under the leadership of Liadrin herself, the Blood Knights quickly gained popular support within Quel'Thalas; their iron will and ability to manipulate the light being seen as a testament to the sin'dorei's power to [[Silvermoon City Guardian|some]], though greatly disdained by [[Farstriders|others]].
== Gilneas Endgame Progression ==
 
   
===[[PvE]]===
+
==Burning Crusade==
  +
{{bc-section}}
Gilneas’ endgame guild progression, though rumoured to be low, is average with consideration to other US servers. As of March 2008, [[Guild:Storm (Gilneas US)|Storm]],[[Guild:Sparda (Gilneas US)| Sparda]], [[Guild:Casually Addicted (Gilneas US)|Casually Addicted]] and [[Guild:End of Legends (Gilneas US)| End of Legends]] top the realms endgame achievements, with overall US rankings in the top 1000.
 
  +
Lady Liadrin resided within the [[The Hall of Blood|Blood Knight headquarters]] in [[Silvermoon City]], next to the subdued [[M'uru]]. She oversaw the training of new members of the Blood Knight order, and in an attempt to assert their authority over the light to all the "so called [[paladins]]" of the world, Liadrin tasked high ranking members with burning and defiling the [[Alonsus Chapel]].
   
  +
===Treachery of the Prince===
''Source: [http://wowjutsu.com/us/gilneas/ Guild Progression: Rank].''
 
  +
The Blood Knights' dominion would soon be tested, as [[Kael'thas Sunstrider]] himself attacked his homeland and stole [[M'uru]] for his own nefarious ends. With the order now without its source of power, a desperate Lady Liadrin travelled to [[Shattrath City]] to meet with its leader - another naaru, [[A'dal]]. Though given a cold reception, A'dal allowed her to speak. A'dal informed her that M'uru was well-aware of his fate, giving himself willingly to the blood elves, and that [[Prophet Velen]] of the [[draenei]] had learned of it some time ago. Liadrin renounces her loyalties to the [[Sunstrider dynasty]], pledging the blades of the Blood Knights to stopping their maddened Prince and his [[Kil'jaeden|new master]], and finally to restoring Silvermoon to its greatness.

  +
In her absence, [[Lord Solanar Bloodwrath]] has taken on the role of training aspiring Blood Knight masters within Silvermoon.
===[[PvP]]===
 
   
  +
===Meeting with A'dal===
Gilneas’ impact within the cross-realm PvP competition remains arguably low, with just three teams representing the server in the Vindication top 20 Arena: Season One & Two, Hall of Fame.
 
  +
:{{text|say|[[General Tiras'alan]]|Why do you suffer the presence of this despicable Lady Liadrin? She and her followers distort the Light and make a mockery of all we stand for!}}
  +
:{{text|say|A'dal|Patience, general. The Light embraces all who enter Shattrath in good faith. You are welcome in Shattrath, Lady Liadrin. We have long awaited your arrival.}}
  +
:{{text|say|Lady Liadrin|Thank you for allowing me to speak, A'dal. I know many of your allies despise me and my knights for our treatment of M'uru. When he was given to us by 'Prince' Kael'thas, we believed his power would help lead our people into a new age. I've come to realize our path was a false one. We were betrayed by the man we called our prince. In his lust for power, he sent the felblood to attack us, and spirit M'uru away to the Sunwell.}}
  +
:{{text|say|A'dal|Both our peoples suffered greatly at the hands of Kael'thas and his agents, Lady Liadrin. Your people were not the authors of their own fate, but they will die if they do not change. M'uru accepted his role long ago, knowing full well what would happen to him. Will you accept your own?}}
  +
:{{text|say|Lady Liadrin|I... I don't understand. You -- and M'uru -- knew all along that this would occur?}}
  +
:{{text|say|A'dal|It wasn't I who foretold it, but Velen of the Draenei:}}
  +
:{{text|say|A'dal|'Silvery moon, washed in blood, / Led astray into the night, armed with the sword of broken Light. / Broken, then betrayed by one, standing there bestride the sun. / At darkest hour, redemption comes, in knightly lady sworn to blood.'}}
  +
:{{text|say|Lady Liadrin|I see it clearly now. I renounce my loyalties to House Sunstrider and its false prince. I pledge the blades of my Blood Knights to the defeat of Kil'jaeden and the restoration of Silvermoon. We will fight beside you, A'dal.}}
  +
:{{text|say|A'dal|The Shattered Sun Offensive will surely benefit from the addition of your knights, Lady Liadrin. The battle for the Sunwell is but the first step on your new path, Lady Liadrin. Shattrath is open to you and all who follow you.}}
   
  +
===Fury of the Sunwell===
  +
[[File:Liadrinsunwell.jpg|thumb|Lady Liadrin in the [[Sunwell]].]]
  +
Following the death of Kael'thas, along with the darkened M'uru and the defeat of [[Kil'jaeden]], Liadrin travels to the sight of the defiled [[Sunwell]] alongside [[Prophet Velen]]. She laments that the blood elves may never be able to atone for the sin they committed in damning M'uru to his fate, though Velen acquires the "heart" of M'uru, and channels it into the Sunwell. In a massive blaze of light, the font of power is restored, to which Velen notes may be the start of rebirthing the soul of a [[Quel'Thalas|nation]].
   
  +
==The Path to Redemption==
Arena: Season One
 
  +
{{wotlk-section}}
* 3v3 - Ranked 20th: Sharokaza
 
  +
During the quest to restore [[Quel'Delar]], adventurers are admitted access to the [[Sunwell]] by [[Halduron Brightwing]]. Within, Lady Liadrin is seen speaking to groups of blood elf pilgrims about the battles the sin'dorei have yet to face, and how it felt to see the Sunwell restored.
* 5v5 - Ranked 16th: Granola Mix
 
   
  +
:{{text|say|'''Lady Liadrin says:''' My brothers and sisters, words cannot describe what I felt upon seeing the Sunwell rekindled.}}
  +
:{{text|say|'''Lady Liadrin says:''' In that moment, the Light revealed to me the truth of the terrible things I had done.}}
  +
:{{text|say|'''Lady Liadrin says:''' Our people had walked a dark path and mine was among the darkest of them all.}}
  +
:{{text|say|'''Lady Liadrin says:''' But the Light showed me that I was not lost. It helped me to find the strength to survive in spite of all that had happened and all the evil I had wrought.}}
  +
:{{text|say|'''Lady Liadrin says:''' It is a strength that we sin'dorei all share. It is a strength we will need to free ourselves of the addiction ravaging our people.}}
  +
:{{text|say|'''Lady Liadrin says:''' It will be the most difficult battle we have ever faced, but our resolve and the power of the Sunwell will sustain us until we have been restored to our greatness.}}
  +
:{{text|say|'''Blood Elf Pilgrim says:''' Well said, my lady. We sin'dorei will be free and we shall be great again!}}
   
  +
== Battle with Lady Liadrin ==
Arena: Season Two
 
  +
{{rfg-section}}
* 3v3 - Ranked 20th: Two Sticks and a Stone
 
  +
[[File:Liadrin.jpg|thumb|right|Lady Liadrin when she was still in [[Silvermoon City]]]]
* 5v5 - Ranked 21st: Risc is a Queen
 
  +
Her solitude could be an underestimation of her power. Once you enter battle, her speed is immense and her attack power is high enough to take a well-geared level 70 player down in a matter of seconds. Although, with a well-geared healer and a high amount of mana per 5 seconds, you can take Liadrin down with three people. A tank, a healer, and a dps or two. Be aware that with three people it is a very long fight, around 15–20 minutes, but the reward is great. She drops anywhere from 60 gold to 100 gold.
   
  +
The being [[M'uru]], also in the chamber, was a friendly unit to Alliance members though would not aid in the attack, even if the beams from the magi were broken.
   
  +
== Trivia ==
''Source: [http://www.wowarmory.com/hall-ladder.xml?se=1&b=Vindication&ts=5 Arena: Season One, Hall of Fame], [http://www.wowarmory.com/hall-ladder.xml?b=Vindication&ts=3&se=2&p=1&sf=rank&sd=a Arena: Season Two, Hall of Fame], ''
 
  +
*Lady Liadrin is wearing the [[tier 3]] [[Redemption Armor]].
  +
*Lady Liadrin is probably named after [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liandrin Liandrin] from Robert Jordan's the Wheel of Time series.
  +
*She will change her tabard from the [[Blood Knight Tabard]] to the [[Tabard of the Shattered Sun]] during her conversation with [[A'dal]]. Few NPCs change their appearance in such a way.
  +
*The [[Horde]] Paladin [[tier 9]] sets are named after her, as is [[Lady Liadrin's Conviction]], a reward from the Horde version of {{achievement|A Tribute to Insanity (25 player)}}.
  +
*It is possible that Liadrin's surname is ''Sunshatter'' <ref>http://www.wowhead.com/npc=25246</ref> or most likely just the NPC's model/ID used for the [[Shattered Sun Offensive]] introduction.
  +
*Liadrin apparently noticed the talent of the blood elf orphan [[Salandria]], and personally adopts her.
  +
*Currently, Liadrin can only be found at the [[Sunwell]] during the phased [[Quel'Delar]] quest chain. She was removed from [[Silvermoon City]] following the events surrounding M'uru, and her routine dialogue with A'dal has since been stopped.

Lady Liadrin is the Matriarch and supreme leader of the Blood Knight order. She was once found within Silvermoon City, though was relocated to Shattrath and later the Sunwell.

Background

Lady Liadrin was once a priestess of the light, though became highly disenchanted after it seemingly "abandoned" the sin'dorei people. This led Liadrin to ultimately renounce her vows to the light. Some time after, however, the blood elven scion Kael'thas Sunstrider had a gift delivered to his people in Silvermoon - the subdued naaru, M'uru. Originally nothing more than a being of great power to sate their magic addiction with, a magister named Astalor Bloodsworn was dissatisfied with this notion. After much studying and experimentation with his fellow magisters, he was finally able to devise a radical new method of transferring the light itself - against its will - to individuals who had not "earned" the right to wield it. Thus, the sin'dorei found themselves capable of wielding the light once more.

Liadrin became aware of this turn of events, and volunteered to become the first Blood Knight. As such, a new chapter in Quel'Thalas' history was born. Under the leadership of Liadrin herself, the Blood Knights quickly gained popular support within Quel'Thalas; their iron will and ability to manipulate the light being seen as a testament to the sin'dorei's power to some, though greatly disdained by others.

Burning Crusade

Bc icon This section concerns content related to The Burning Crusade.

Lady Liadrin resided within the Blood Knight headquarters in Silvermoon City, next to the subdued M'uru. She oversaw the training of new members of the Blood Knight order, and in an attempt to assert their authority over the light to all the "so called paladins" of the world, Liadrin tasked high ranking members with burning and defiling the Alonsus Chapel.

Treachery of the Prince

The Blood Knights' dominion would soon be tested, as Kael'thas Sunstrider himself attacked his homeland and stole M'uru for his own nefarious ends. With the order now without its source of power, a desperate Lady Liadrin travelled to Shattrath City to meet with its leader - another naaru, A'dal. Though given a cold reception, A'dal allowed her to speak. A'dal informed her that M'uru was well-aware of his fate, giving himself willingly to the blood elves, and that Prophet Velen of the draenei had learned of it some time ago. Liadrin renounces her loyalties to the Sunstrider dynasty, pledging the blades of the Blood Knights to stopping their maddened Prince and his new master, and finally to restoring Silvermoon to its greatness.

In her absence, Lord Solanar Bloodwrath has taken on the role of training aspiring Blood Knight masters within Silvermoon.

Meeting with A'dal

General Tiras'alan says: Why do you suffer the presence of this despicable Lady Liadrin? She and her followers distort the Light and make a mockery of all we stand for!
A'dal says: Patience, general. The Light embraces all who enter Shattrath in good faith. You are welcome in Shattrath, Lady Liadrin. We have long awaited your arrival.
Lady Liadrin says: Thank you for allowing me to speak, A'dal. I know many of your allies despise me and my knights for our treatment of M'uru. When he was given to us by 'Prince' Kael'thas, we believed his power would help lead our people into a new age. I've come to realize our path was a false one. We were betrayed by the man we called our prince. In his lust for power, he sent the felblood to attack us, and spirit M'uru away to the Sunwell.
A'dal says: Both our peoples suffered greatly at the hands of Kael'thas and his agents, Lady Liadrin. Your people were not the authors of their own fate, but they will die if they do not change. M'uru accepted his role long ago, knowing full well what would happen to him. Will you accept your own?
Lady Liadrin says: I... I don't understand. You -- and M'uru -- knew all along that this would occur?
A'dal says: It wasn't I who foretold it, but Velen of the Draenei:
A'dal says: 'Silvery moon, washed in blood, / Led astray into the night, armed with the sword of broken Light. / Broken, then betrayed by one, standing there bestride the sun. / At darkest hour, redemption comes, in knightly lady sworn to blood.'
Lady Liadrin says: I see it clearly now. I renounce my loyalties to House Sunstrider and its false prince. I pledge the blades of my Blood Knights to the defeat of Kil'jaeden and the restoration of Silvermoon. We will fight beside you, A'dal.
A'dal says: The Shattered Sun Offensive will surely benefit from the addition of your knights, Lady Liadrin. The battle for the Sunwell is but the first step on your new path, Lady Liadrin. Shattrath is open to you and all who follow you.

Fury of the Sunwell

Liadrinsunwell

Lady Liadrin in the Sunwell.

Following the death of Kael'thas, along with the darkened M'uru and the defeat of Kil'jaeden, Liadrin travels to the sight of the defiled Sunwell alongside Prophet Velen. She laments that the blood elves may never be able to atone for the sin they committed in damning M'uru to his fate, though Velen acquires the "heart" of M'uru, and channels it into the Sunwell. In a massive blaze of light, the font of power is restored, to which Velen notes may be the start of rebirthing the soul of a nation.

The Path to Redemption

Wrath-Logo-Small This section concerns content related to Wrath of the Lich King.

During the quest to restore Quel'Delar, adventurers are admitted access to the Sunwell by Halduron Brightwing. Within, Lady Liadrin is seen speaking to groups of blood elf pilgrims about the battles the sin'dorei have yet to face, and how it felt to see the Sunwell restored.

Lady Liadrin says: My brothers and sisters, words cannot describe what I felt upon seeing the Sunwell rekindled.
Lady Liadrin says: In that moment, the Light revealed to me the truth of the terrible things I had done.
Lady Liadrin says: Our people had walked a dark path and mine was among the darkest of them all.
Lady Liadrin says: But the Light showed me that I was not lost. It helped me to find the strength to survive in spite of all that had happened and all the evil I had wrought.
Lady Liadrin says: It is a strength that we sin'dorei all share. It is a strength we will need to free ourselves of the addiction ravaging our people.
Lady Liadrin says: It will be the most difficult battle we have ever faced, but our resolve and the power of the Sunwell will sustain us until we have been restored to our greatness.
Blood Elf Pilgrim says: Well said, my lady. We sin'dorei will be free and we shall be great again!

Battle with Lady Liadrin

Removed from game The subject of this section has been removed from World of Warcraft.
Liadrin

Lady Liadrin when she was still in Silvermoon City

Her solitude could be an underestimation of her power. Once you enter battle, her speed is immense and her attack power is high enough to take a well-geared level 70 player down in a matter of seconds. Although, with a well-geared healer and a high amount of mana per 5 seconds, you can take Liadrin down with three people. A tank, a healer, and a dps or two. Be aware that with three people it is a very long fight, around 15–20 minutes, but the reward is great. She drops anywhere from 60 gold to 100 gold.

The being M'uru, also in the chamber, was a friendly unit to Alliance members though would not aid in the attack, even if the beams from the magi were broken.
