History of Blood Elves
Blood elves, known as sin'dorei (Children of Blood) in their native language, Thalassian, are a race of former high elves who have renamed themselves in honour of their fallen comrades who have died during the siege of Quel'thalas by the scourge. Quel'thalas is the homeland of blood elves (and the starting area for blood elves in World of Warcraft). Prince Kael'thas led the few survivors of the Quel'thalas siege to the Outlands, but the blood elf leader became corrupted by his desire for more magical power, and joined forces with the Burning Legion. Some of the blood elves disagreed with Kael'thas and joined forces with the Horde.
Blood elves often dress in black and red to remind themselves of their terrible losses. Some of them wear painted runes or tattoos to ward off demons, celebrate significant kills, or to look intimidating. Blood elves have a slim athletic body, long pointed ears, acute senses and very keen sight. Their reliance on fel magic causes their eyes to glow bright green with demonic fire. Female blood elves in World of Warcraft often dress very provocatively.
The Sunwell was a fountain of mystical power in Quel'Thalas whose potent arcane magic fed and strengthened the high elves in Azeroth. When the Scourge destroyed the Sunwell after their siege of Quel'thelas, the blood elves were forces to deal with the sudden relapse of thier addiction to arcane energy. Blood elves spend their days struggling with thier addiction to arcane energy, seeking to either sate it by siphoning magical energy from their surroundings or to resist the urge to feed.
Blood Elves in World of Warcraft
Blood elves were added as a playable race in World of Warcraft with the release of the Burning Crusade expansion. They are the most popular race on new servers. Blood elves may become paladins, hunters, rogues, priests, mages or warlocks.
Female blood elves in World of Warcraft have some revealing armor sets and provocative clothes. They are famous for their attractiveness and are often found dancing in public places.
