||
| − | '''Silvermoon City''' (aka '''Silvermoon''') is the capital of the [[blood elves]], located in the northeastern part of the [[Eversong Woods]] within the kingdom of [[Quel'Thalas]], at the northernmost tip of the [[Eastern Kingdoms]]. The breathtaking capital city of the blood elves may rival the [[dwarf|dwarven]] capital of [[Ironforge]] as the world's oldest, still standing, capital. Recently rebuilt from the devastating blow dealt by the evil Prince [[Arthas Menethil|Arthas]], the city houses the largest population of blood elves left on Azeroth. |
||
| + | == Quote == |
||
| − | Silvermoon today is only the eastern half of the original city; the western half was almost completely destroyed by the Scourge during the [[Third War]]. [[Falconwing Square]], the second blood elf town, is the only part of western Silvermoon remaining in blood elf control. The [[Dead Scar]] (the path taken by [[Arthas Menethil]] and his undead army on the quest to resurrect [[Kel'Thuzad]], which carves through all of Eversong Woods) separates the rebuilt Silvermoon from the ruins of the western half. Interestingly, the [[Ruins of Silvermoon]] house no [[undead]], instead they contain [[Wretched]] and malfunctioning [[Arcane Guardian]]s. As it stands, what remains of Silvermoon City is still bigger than other Horde cities. |

||
| − | The city of Silvermoon was founded by the [[high elves]] to be their capital after their arrival in [[Lordaeron]] thousands of years ago. The city was constructed out of white stone and living plants in the style of the ancient [[kaldorei]] empire and interwoven with the natural topography of the landscape. The city contained the famous Academies of Silvermoon as a center for the learning of [[Arcane Magic]] and [[Sunstrider Spire]], a majestic palace home to the Royal family of the high elves. The [[Convocation of Silvermoon]] (also known as "The Council of Silvermoon"), the ruling body of the high elves was also based here. Across a stretch of ocean to the north is the island that contains the [[Sunwell]]. |
||
| + | *{{Patch 2.0.3|note=Added.}} |
||
| + | ==External links== |
||
| − | Silvermoon City stood for millennia. During the [[Second War]] the city itself was left relatively unscathed due to the efforts of elven magi who used the powers of the Sunwell to create a magical barrier over the city making it impervious to the Horde's dragon fire. However, in the Third War the [[death knight]] [[Arthas]] led the [[Scourge]] into the city, attacking it on his quest to reach the [[Sunwell]]. The [[Anasterian Sunstrider|High Elven King]] and the Convocation were slain and the majority of the population killed. Scourge forces held the city for a time, but abandoned it after the depletion of its resources. |

||
| − | Though the city was attacked by the Scourge, the undead left the buildings mainly intact. For a time the city was a ghost town empty except for dead plants, the occasional body sprawled across the cobblestones and mournful elven spirits. The only visitors to the city were treasure hunters in search of any valuable artifacts that the elves left behind before they deserted the city, but the ghosts of Silvermoon's past inhabitants made stealing difficult. |

||
| − | In ''[[World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade]]'' Silvermoon has become the capital of the [[blood elves]]. Following the events of ''[[The Sunwell Trilogy]]'', Silvermoon was retaken by the blood elves with the aid of new magics taught to them by Grand Magister [[Rommath]] returned from [[Outland]] with the teachings of Prince [[Kael'thas]], and the secret protection of [[Anveena]], avatar of the Sunwell. With the new powers the blood elves reconstructed the eastern half of the city restoring it to much of its former glory, the western half, however, still lies in ruins in the hands of the Wretched. What happened to the ghosts of the high elves that haunted the ancient halls is not yet known. |
||
| ⚫ | |||
| − | |||
| − | A great deal of arcane energy has been used. Chained crystals, full to the top with harnessed magic, now dot the city and power up all the various magical contrivance, including many floating spires and castles. Since the blood elves are cut off from the rest of civilization by the dangerous [[Plaguelands]], an [[Orb of Translocation]] has been made connecting Silvermoon to [[Undercity]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Magically-automated guardians constantly remind everyone in the city of the blood elves' leader and savior, Prince Kael'thas, by reciting lines of carefully-worded propaganda. This helps prevent the blood elven denizens of the city from forgetting to whom they owe their absolute loyalty. However in 2.4 the Arcane Guardians have been changed to reflect Kael'thas' betrayal and give propaganda referring to Lor'themar Theron as the savior of the blood elves instead. Additionally, [[Silvermoon City Guardian]]s critiqued by [[Champion Vranesh]] no longer praise Kael'thas as the "Sun King". |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Mirror, Mirror, on the Wall=== |
||
| − | The blood elves are trapped in a struggle with their hunger for magic, caught between mastering this desire or letting it master them, and the duality of Silvermoon reflects their inner struggle. One side ruined, one side restored to its former glory; magnificent on the outside, lingering darkness on the inside. Small details like floating flowerpots and the omnipresent glowing green crystals further underline the idea that the rulers of this city are completely drunk on magic. However, the truly interesting insights reveal themselves when players look closer at what is going on in Silvermoon City. Beyond the luscious avenues, behind the rich billowing curtains, lie dark and gloomy interiors, and those who explore the other side of Silvermoon City may find that the city's beautiful facade serves only to hide the true, more-sinister side of the city. |

||
| − | {{main|Silvermoon City NPCs}} |
||
| − | [[Lor'themar Theron]] is the Regent Lord of Quel'Thalas in the absence of Prince [[Kael'thas]] and current leader of the blood elves on Azeroth. Since patch 2.4, with Kael'thas betrayal becoming public, he is no longer under Kael'thas command...nor anyone's command, being a "temporary" leader for all blood elves. |
||
| − | [[Halduron Brightwing]] is Silvermoon's new Ranger-General, and is the blood elves' military commander on Azeroth. [[Grand Magister Rommath]] is the leader of all blood elf magi on Azeroth, and is a fiercely loyal servant to Kael'thas. |
||
| − | |||
| − | [[M'uru]] is the [[Naaru]] that the blood elves captured and was the source of the blood knight's power in the Light. He could previously be found beneath the paladin trainers area, where it was watched over by [[Magister Astalor Bloodsworn]], who is behind the idea, and [[Lady Liadrin]], who volunteered to be the first ever blood knight. Since [[2.4]], M'uru has been kidnapped and taken to the Sunwell Plateau where he serves as a 25-man raid boss, and Liadrin is no longer present, instead appearing in a periodic dialogue scene that occurs in Shattrath with [[A'dal]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Another quite obvious and yet unknown character is [[Champion Vranesh]]. Originally seen patrolling the city streets atop an epic [[Charger]] mount, though the NPC was only level 20, he has recently been updated to level 60. His favorite pastime is to critique the city guards. Who he is and how exactly he obtained his title is unknown. |

||
| − | *[[Sorim Lightsong]] is the quest giver for the repeatable [[runecloth]] quest that must be completed by non-blood elf [[Horde]] players in order to obtain the possibility of riding [[hawkstrider]]s, the mount of the blood elf race. He actually makes a joke about this when spoken to, saying "You're merely after a Hawkstrider, aren't you?" |
||
| − | *As a tribute to the first [[blood elf]] to hit level 67 during the beta, the paladin trainer [[Champion Bachi|Bachi]] was named after the player Bachi. |
||
| − | *The city's guards, "[[Silvermoon City Guardian]]s" use a distinctly different model than other male blood elves, made to resemble the [[Spellbreaker]]s of old Quel'Thalas with tall shields and large glaives. This model is based off the older blood elf model (in turn based off the night elves' model), which were replaced with the currently-used models. |
||
| − | *Arguably the largest city on Azeroth, however it is still argued even more that Stormwind and Darnassus surpass it (especially after Patch 3.0.2, with the opening of [[Stormwind Harbor]]). |
||
| − | *It is amusing to note that the female blood elf /silly emote, "You mean, I'm STUCK with this hair color?!" seems to be, in principle at least, quite accurate; as there is no [[barber shop]] in Silvermoon City, those blood elves wishing to change their character models must visit another city to do so. |
