| − | '''Vereesa Windrunner''' is an [[elven ranger]] who fought in the [[Second War|Second]] and [[Third War|Third]] Wars. She is the youngest sister of [[Sylvanas Windrunner]] who would later become the [[Dark Lady]] of the [[Forsaken]], and [[Alleria Windrunner]], a hero of the Second War. |
||
| + | ==Notes== |
||
| − | Nearly all of Vereesa's [[Windrunner|extended family]] were killed by [[orc]]s in the [[Second War]] and in [[Prince Arthas|Prince Arthas's]] invasion of [[Quel'Thalas]]. Both of her sisters can be considered "alive" because Sylvanas still lives, albeit not technically "among the living", and Alleria Windrunner is likely still alive, but her whereabouts are not known. |

| − | Vereesa is a member of the prominent [[Windrunner]] family of the high elves. Her elder sisters [[Alleria Windrunner|Alleria]] and [[Sylvanas Windrunner|Sylvanas]] were [[Ranger]] Generals of [[Silvermoon City]]. She has at least two other brothers, one of whom was named [[Lirath Windrunner|Lirath]]. Her family lived at [[Windrunner Spire]] in the tranquil forests of Quel'Thalas. |

||
| − | During her early career, she was assigned by her superiors to escort the mage [[Rhonin]] to his ship at [[Hasic]]. This simple mission soon turned into a harrowing journey into [[Grim Batol]] where she eventually aided the mage in destroying the [[Demon Soul]] and freeing the Dragonqueen [[Alexstrasza]]. During this mission, Rhonin and Vereesa fell in love and they eventually married. |

| ⚫ | |||
| − | Following the success of the mission, Vereesa was asked to act as an Alliance Ambassador by King Terenas and the [[Kirin Tor]]. She and Rhonin were tasked with touring the Alliance and reminding everyone that there were other threats in the world besides [[orc]]s that would have to face sooner or later. Along with Rhonin and Krasus, Vereesa was among the few well-known survivors of the [[Scourge]] that destroyed Lordaeron, [[Dalaran]], and Quel'Thalas after the corruption of [[Arthas Menethil|Prince Arthas]]. |

| − | While she and her husband, Rhonin, were preparing for the birth of their twin offspring, [[Giramar]] and [[Galdarin]], Rhonin was once again summoned by [[Krasus]] for help. As a reward for Rhonin's courage, [[Nozdormu]] allowed Rhonin to return to Vereesa at the moment she went into labor to ensure he would not miss a moment of the twins' lives. Nozdormu also offered the children the friendship of the bronze dragonflight. A [[human]] named [[Jalia]] assisted in the birth.<ref>WoE, p.17</ref> Her cousin [[Zendarin]], a [[blood elf]] who hated humans, tried to kidnap her children as he believed the offspring of a high elf and a human mage would have a lot of magic power.<ref>NotD, pp. 110, 113</ref> He failed in this attempt. |

| − | |||
| − | She appears again in the novel ''[[Night of the Dragon]]'', where she braved the depths of [[Grim Batol]], seeking revenge on Zendarin. |
||
| − | Zendarin sought to steal the [[Demon Soul]] (possibly as an alternate magic source having failed to take Dargonax, or as a secondary objective), the foul creation of [[Deathwing]] that had been destroyed by Rhonin years earlier. He would have pulled it off if not for Vereesa's intervention, which resulted in the destruction of the Demon Soul — and of Zendarin himself — when the stolen staff of the [[Naaru]] touched the artifact.<ref>NotD</ref> Vereesa also assists [[Iridi]], a [[draenei]] [[priestess]], in destroying [[Dargonax]], as redemption for Zendarin's murder of Iridi's comrade. |

||
| − | {{wotlk-section}} |
||
| − | Vereesa is located in the [[Violet Citadel]] of [[Dalaran]] along with [[Rhonin]], [[Archmage Aethas Sunreaver]], and [[Archmage Modera]]. She is the leader of the [[Silver Covenant]], a militant group of [[high elf|high elves]] who oppose the inclusion of [[blood elf|blood elves]] in the Kirin Tor. She is involved in the [[Quest:A Victory For The Silver Covenant (sword)|Quel'delar]] quest chain: The champions of the Silver Covenant will fight the forces of the scourge in the Frozen Halls and its Sunreaver counterpart in Dalaran to restore the magical blade [[Quel'Delar]] from its defiled state by the [[Blood-Queen Lana'thel]]. |

||
| − | [[File:Zul'AmanPreparationConversation.jpg|thumb|Vereesa, Halduron and Vol'jin outside Zul'Aman]] |
||
| − | Vereesa is called upon by the ranger-general of [[Silvermoon City|Silvermoon]], [[Halduron Brightwing]], to help address the threat of a revitalized [[troll]] empire brewing in [[Zul'Aman]]. She travels to [[Quel'Thalas]], and meets with Brightwing alongside the [[Darkspear]] Chieftain, [[Vol'jin]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Her presence is not well received in the upper echelons of Silvermoon City, and [[Lor'themar Theron]] sends a messenger to demand to know why she holds presence in Quel'Thalas. A frustrated Vereesa mentions that Quel'Thalas is as much her home as it is his, and that she will not see it fall to their [[Forest trolls|ancient enemy]]. Halduron states that he had personally invited her to supplement his own [[Farstriders]], as it would take time to recall enough of them. The two ranger-generals along with Vol'jin discuss their plans for battle. |

| − | ==Personality== |
||
| − | At first, Vereesa was unaware of Sylvanas' fate.<ref>WoE, p.16-17</ref> However, when she learned of her fate, Vereesa mourned her sister and was enraged when her cousin Zendarin recklessly called Sylvanas a [[Banshee]]. <ref>NotD, p. 184</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Richard Knaak has stated in an [http://www.blizzplanet.com/content/729 interview] that he considers Vereesa as having animosity towards the [[blood elves]], courtesy of her partnership with Rhonin and having pride in [[high elf]] traditions. This can be seen in ''Night of the Dragon'' and in [[World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Speculation== |
||
| − | {{Speculation}} |
||
| − | *Vereesa's attitude towards the [[blood elves]] seems to have changed quite drastically since her ''Wrath of the Lich King'' debut. While she was opposed to their mere inclusion within the Kirin-Tor, she was more than willing to accept an invitation into [[Quel'Thalas]] from Halduron Brightwing to work with both he and another leader of the [[Horde]], [[Vol'jin]]. |
||
| − | **Vereesa's previous actions in [[Dalaran]] contradict her later actions in the [[Ghostlands]], where she appears to not only be neutral towards the [[blood elves]] but also friendly with them. Her later interactions with the blood elves appear to reject the idea that she is hostile to their race but instead affirms the idea that the cause of her opposition towards them is her loyalty towards her own race and her fear of the high elves' possible assimilation. |
||
| − | *There appears to be a rivalry between her and [[Lor'themar Theron]] regarding the future of the elves ([[high elves]] and [[blood elves]]). While she was willing to work with the blood elves and with the [[Darkspear tribe]] in protecting [[Quel'thalas]], her speech towards [[Silvermoon Messenger]] shows animosity between her and Lor'themar Theron. |
||
| − | ** The animosity between her and Lor'themar may stem from the fact, that she was not present in Quel'thalas during the [[Arthas]]' attack, nor did she come to it's aid afterwards. |
||
| − | ***[[Dalaran]] was also under the invasion of the [[Scourge]] and was destroyed by [[Archimonde]] during the [[Third War]]. It was not possible for her to assist Quel'Thalas without abandoning the high elves of the city. |
||
| − | ****As Quel'thalas fell to the might of the Scourge before Dalaran was attacked and destroyed, Lor'themar animosity toward Vereesa could come from his belief that her aid could of turned the tide against the scourge and saved the [[Sunwell]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Quotes== |
||
| − | *''"[[Quel'Thalas]] is as much my home as it is [[Silvermoon Messenger|yours]] and I would not see it fall to our [[Amani tribe|ancient enemy]]."'' |
||
| − | |||
| − | *''"With my bow, I have shot [[orcs]] dead at a hundred yards. I have battled [[trolls]], [[demons]], and more. I have nearly traveled the length and breadth of [[Azeroth (world)|Azeroth]]...yes [[Rhonin|my love]], I think I can handle the situation until [[Jalia]] arrives."'' |
||
| − | |||
| − | *''"[[Zendarin|One]] should not speak of taint who has taken to draining the foul magic of demons."'' |
||
| − | |||
| − | *''"Use [[Iridi|your]] eyes and call me not by so accursed a name as [[blood elf|that]], draenei!"'' |
