War of the ancients the sundering series#

Their temples, roads, and dwelling places stretched across the breadth of the dark continent. Yet, as the seemingly endless ages passed, the night elvesвЂ™ civilization expanded both territorially and culturally. The tranquil Kaldorei developed a strong empathy for the living forests of Kalimdor and reveled in the harmonious balance of nature. The great-hearted Cenarius grew fond of the inquisitive night elves and spent a great deal of time teaching them about the natural world. In time, the night elvesвЂ™ curiosity led them to meet and befriend a number of powerful entities, not the least of which was Cenarius, a mighty demi-god of the primordial forestlands. The night elves believed that the dragons held themselves to be the protectors of the world, and that they and their secrets were best left alone. Though the great serpentine beasts were often reclusive, they did much to safeguard the known lands from potential threats. The only creatures that gave them pause were the ancient and powerful dragons. As their society grew, the night elves explored the breadth of Kalimdor and encountered its myriad denizens. The early night elf priests and seers studied the Well with an insatiable curiosity, driven to plumb its untold secrets and power. The Kaldorei, or night elves as they would later be known, worshipped the moon goddess, Elune, and believed that she slept within the WellвЂ™s shimmering depths during the daylight hours. To celebrate their budding society, they constructed great structures and temples around the lakeвЂ™s periphery. The name Kaldorei, which meant вЂњchildren of the starsвЂќ in their native tongue. Over time, the WellвЂ™s cosmic power affected the strange tribe, making them strong, wise and virtually immortal. The feral, nomadic humanoids, drawn by the WellвЂ™s strange energies, built crude homes upon its tranquil shores. In time, a primitive tribe of nocturnal humanoids cautiously made their way to the edges of the mesmerizing, enchanted lake. Drawing its energies from the infinite Great Dark beyond the world, the Well acted as a mystical fount, sending its potent energies out across the world to nourish life in all its wondrous forms. The lake, which would later be called the Well of Eternity, was the true heart of the worldвЂ™s magic and natural power. At the dark continentвЂ™s center was a mysterious lake of incandescent energies. That land mass, known as Kalimdor, was home to a number of disparate races and creatures, all vying for survival amongst the savage elements of the waking world. Ten thousand years before the orcs and humans clashed in their First War, the world of Azeroth cradled only one massive continent surrounded by the infinite, raging seas.
