Overview
With so much lore behind the elven races, it's no wonder that many people want to roleplay them. If you're reading this guide, you may be looking for guidance with the perfect transmog, character ideas, or lore behind race-class combos. Whatever you need, you will hopefully find it here.
Please comment below with any corrections, constructive feedback, and suggestions - I will be sure to add them in soon!
***
General Lore
Night elves became a race after dark trolls settled by the ancient Well of Eternity and evolved quickly. Eventually, they split off into other races, such as sin'dorei (blood elves), quel'dorei (high elves), and shal'dorei (nightborne).
They have lived in many places throughout the years, but never strayed too far from their home of Kalimdor. As a result, they have become quite xenophobic and most are still adjusting to interaction with outside races.
Many lived in Queen Azshara's city of Zin-Azshari until the Sundering in which the continents split apart, at which point they started a new society involving druidism alongside arcane magic. They had a new city now named Darnassus atop the world tree Teldrassil.
They became very isolationist and independent until war times forced them out of hiding, at which point they became part of the Alliance and its forces.
After the Third War, their home of Teldrassil was burned down by Sylvanas Windrunner and they had to relocate to Stormwind & elsewhere.
***
Class Lore
So by now you know the general lore of the Night Elven race. However, specific lore also accompanies each class. The Sentinels, the Wardens, the Sisterhood of Elune, etc.
Instead of listing each class, I'm going to list each order and which classes may fit behind them. Keep in mind that as with everything in this guide, these are not set in stone - simply suggestions.
The Sentinels
The Sentinels are the army of the Kaldorei and are made up of many women; however, they have begun to incorporate more males into their ranks in recent years. If you're looking to RP a Sentinel, you should probably choose a rank for yourself like a Lieutenant. Many classes play roles in the Sentinels such as:
Hunters as huntmistresses or archers.
Warriors as fighters wielding glaives and fist weapons.
Rogues for recon & spying.
Notable Sentinels: Shandris Feathermoon
The Wardens/Watchers
The Wardens are an elite, secretive force made up of worthy Kaldorei women; unlike the Sentinels, they have not yet begun to add any men or non-Kaldorei to their ranks. They are clothed in elusive green armor, wield moonglaives, and use small owls for recon. Some classes that could play the role of a Warden are:
Warriors with glaives & good plate armor transmog.
Demon hunters that can wield glaives; also the double jump makes for a cool finishing move when roleplaying a fight. (Yes, I know that the Wardens hate the Illidari, but remember that this is roleplay, and you can simply put that all demon hunter traits are OOC if you have an rp addon).
Notable Wardens: Maiev Shadowsong, Drelanim Whisperwind, Sira Moonwarden
Druidic Orders (various)
The druidic order is almost as ancient as the Sisterhood. It was originally only comprised of men, but many notable women have risen through their ranks in recent years. There are several organizations such as the Cenarion Circle, but this not just for Night Elves - it is open to most any druid. Druids have been important in Kaldorei society for many years, especially with the Wild Gods like Cenarius.
Here, pretty much the only choice you could make is rolling a druid.
Notable Druids: Malfurion Stormrage, Celestine of The Harvest, Broll Bearmantle
Sisterhood of Elune
The priestesses (and recently, priests) of Elune are an old organization devoted to serving Elune and wielding her holy magic. They have shown a dark side in the Night Warrior & the Army of the Black Moon. Primarily I'd recommend a priest, but there are other classes that could fit in.
Monks as they have lots of variety and similar transmog to priests.
Priests because they're...well, priests.
Notable Priests: Tyrande Whisperwind, Dentaria Silverglade
Mages
***
Developing a Character
By now, I think I have listed most night elf class lore. If you've rolled a class (and possibly roleplay class as well), now's the time to go further into your character's story.
If your character is young, they are probably more open-minded about defying tradition and interacting with other races. If they're very old, they may be set in their ways and uncomfortable with non-Kaldorei.
Younger or middle-aged ones may have family who died in Teldrassil; sadly, this would be a very plausible roleplay backstory as many Kaldorei perished in the burning.
The order your character is part of will also have an impact on your character. Wardens will likely be elitist and reclusive, Priestesses will be very faithful and loyal - yet deadly with the proper magic. While these may not (and don't have to be) your character's entire personality, they will, to some extent, have some influence on it.
Each character is unique, so I'm not going to give you a word-for-word guide on how to make a character. Follow the lore outlined above and use it to make your very own Night Elf that you will enjoy roleplaying.
***
Transmog & Mounts
This may seem like a superficial thing to add, but mounts & transmog can be a nice touch to your character that many people will appreciate. Though there isn't Night Elf Heritage armor yet (fingers crossed it's coming soon)
For now, just enjoy some inspiration and maybe check your collections for some cool pieces.
Sentinel Transmog
For Sentinels I'd suggest the Darkshore warfront
leather
or
plate
set. These may be a bit of a farm but they drop from rare elites and most of the pieces can probably be obtained in 30 minutes to a few hours.
If you're too low level then I'd say the
Armor of The Fang
set from Wailing Caverns (or just something generally purple and gold).
For mounts, most Sentinels ride saber cats (mostly dark nightsabers, which are pretty easy to get.) For some smaller, simple sabers, just get Exalted with Darnassus or go on a Night Elf class trial. If you want something a little flashier, grind the shiny
Winterspring Frostsaber
, Argent Tournament for the Darkshore rare mounts, or even farm some 7th legion service medals for those hella expensive
Priestess' Moonsaber
. I'd also suggest a
Darnassian Tabard
. For pets, definitely have a
Darkshore Sentinel
or
Fledgling Warden Owl
to accompany you.
Warden Transmog
The key word here is green. Dark green, to be specific. For this I'd say grind Wardens rep for the
Wardens Tabard
&
Fledgling Warden Owl
(or buy the owl on the AH, it's pretty cheap at around 3k). There's another good reason for grinding Wardens - paragon rewards have a low-drop toy called Sira's Extra Cloak that will deck you out in full Warden gear.
World quest gear like
Shadow Stalker Spaulders
may not exactly seem like the best choice with real Warden gear, but it can work with a transmog.
If you still have it from the Legion pre patch event, use the
Felforged Armor
set or its still-available recolor
Truesteel Battleplate.
I haven't seen a lot of Warden-specific mounts, so just follow the Sentinels or even just any mount that matches your transmog.
Priest Transmog
Make sure to incorporate a lot of moons into your clothing. Back to Darkshore, the
Alliance Cloth
is a very very good set - something with less effort to obtain is also the
Mooncloth Robe
. For mounts, again, use sabers. My go-to is the Winterspring Frostsaber or just the normal Night Elf frostsabers.
For a tabard, Darnassian tabard is okay but I'd say something more white like
Tabard of The Ascended.
Closing Remarks
I hope that this guide proved useful in developing your Kaldorei character. This is my first guide, so any feedback will be useful. Thanks for perusing!
