'''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 [[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]].
  +
  +

  +
{{bc-section}}
  +
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===
  +
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.

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]].

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 ==
  +
*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.<ref>http://www.wowpedia.org/Salandria</ref>
  +
*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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
