'''Thalressar''' was one of the elven lieutenants serving under [[Alleria Windrunner]] during the Alliance Expedition's invasion of [[Draenor]]. With [[Verana]]'s return to [[Quel'Thalas]], Thalressar presumably took up the mantle of Alleria's right hand. When Alleria followed [[Khadgar]] to the [[Blade's Edge Mountains]], Thalressar was left in charge of her high elves. Alongside [[Danath]], [[Herrick]] and [[Rellian]], Thalressar hunted [[Ner'zhul]] through [[Terokkar Forest]].

After the disaster in which [[Kurdran]] was captured, Thalressar played a key role in proposing the construction of [[Allerian Stronghold]], and had the location marked. He proclaimed the founding of the keep, as a symbol of the alliance between high elves, humans and dwarves, and to mark the sacrifices of the [[Wildhammer]] clan. An [[arakkoa]] by the name of [[Grizzik]] was captured shortly after, as he had been following the expedition. He promised to guide the Alliance into Auchindoun, where Ner'zhul was hiding. There they encountered one of the last [[draenei]], [[Nemuraan]]. Nemuraan assisted Thalressar, Danath and Rellian by allowing them to use seldom travelled passages, and he invoked the ghosts of dead draenei to assist the Alliance in their ambush against the orcs and their new allies, the Cabal of [[Vorpil]]. Thalressar fought valiantly, and helped rescue [[Kurdran]].

Thalressar was a lethal ally, revealing a preference for duty over morality. His was a perspective keen on calculated justice of a more subtle sort. He occassionally disagreed with Danath, and even after an arguement, Danath would be unsure if Thalressar's trademark tone was either sarcastic or honest. It was Thalressar's pride and passion which stood out when the time was right. He bore a hatred against the Horde which he gained due to the attack on Quel'Thalas. Like Alleria, he seeks some matter of closure for all that has transpired. He was also a strong believer in the Alliance, and spoke of the combined strength of human, dwarf and elf.

The arakkoa Grizzik's nickname for Thalressar was 'Long Ears' which Danath found very amusing.

* Your men were right. Not only does it have strategic value, but this is the only place we have seen thus far on this planet that was not red and lifeless. This forest, at least, is still very much alive. If we some day return to these woods and complete what was begun here today, we shall name it the [[Allerian Stronghold]]. It is fitting - the orcs destroyed much of Quel'Thalas, and so in return we will claim this, the one green region left upon this forsaken world. And if not, these posts will stand as a reminder that the [[Alliance]] entered this forest and claimed it as their own.

Suppression is a warlock talent that increases the hit chance of Spells and reduces the mana cost of Affliction Spells.

Rank table

Rank Hit chance increase Mana cost reduction
1 1% 2%
2 2% 4%
3 3% 6%

Functionality

This talent affects your spells' chance to hit (i.e. "resistance" based on level) and not your spells' spell penetration (i.e. magic resistance).

This means that two points in Suppression will completely negate most of the miss chance of your Affliction spells against targets of your level and three points will completely negate most of their miss chance against targets up to two levels above you.

Notes

Note that this boost to hit rating will not be displayed on the warlock's character sheet. This means that a warlock with 3/3 Suppression only needs to target 14% spell hit through normal methods (gear, gems, other buffs).

To a Mage, a resist means he misses out on that damage. But since Affliction spells are mostly dots and mostly instant cast, a resist just means you cast it again. Suppression helps in these checks, meaning that Suppression indirectly increases your damage against anything that can resist many times, such as a higher-leveled mob.
