The Night Elves are the first and oldest race of World of Warcraft. They strived to learn magic and eventually let it loose upon the world as well as calling forth the Burning Legion. In their war with the Burning Legion, they were victorious, but at the cost of their homeland. After the war they became, once again, interested in the world and what was to become of it. Allying themselves with others, despite their mistrust of other races, they hope to secure the survival of Azeroth.

Night Elves
Race: Night Elves
Description: The reclusive Night Elves were the first race to awaken in the World of Warcraft. These shadowy, immortal beings were the first to study magic and let it loose throughout the world nearly ten thousand years before Warcraft I. The Night Elves' reckless use of magic drew the Burning Legion into the world and led to a catastrophic war between the two titanic races. The Night Elves barely managed to banish the Legion from the world, but their wondrous homeland was shattered and drowned by the sea. Ever since, the Night Elves refused to use magic for fear that the dreaded Legion would return. The Night Elves closed themselves off from the rest of the world and remained hidden atop their holy mountain of Hyjal for many thousands of years. As a race, Night Elves are typically honorable and just, but they are very distrusting of the 'lesser races' of the world. They are nocturnal by nature and their shadowy powers often elicit the same distrust that they have for their mortal neighbors.
