| − | '''Dath'Remar Sunstrider''' was the leader of the [[Highborne]] who survived the [[War of the Ancients]]. He had originally been part of the Highborne who had stayed with Queen [[Azshara]] during the war. He was even offered to be turned into a [[satyr]] by [[Xavius]] but declined, becoming increasingly uneasy over the Highborne's affiliation with the [[Burning Legion]]. He and other like-minded Highborne worked secretly to slow the work of their brethren and the demons who were opening a portal for [[Sargeras]] to step through onto [[Azeroth]]. When [[Tyrande Whisperwind]] was captured by the satyrs, Dath'Remar took her into his confidence. This eventually lead to him freeing her and taking a large number of Highborne and escaping from the palace. During their initial escape, Dath'Remar and others were attacked by guards of the Highborne still loyal to the Burning Legion. He waved his hand and the guards flew into a wall. He said "That will teach them to dare attack a Highborne of the Elite Circle."{{cite|Sund|230}} The surviving Highborne escapees joined the [[Kaldorei Resistance]] at the end of the war much to the opposition of many night elves. |

| − | After the war, Dath'Remar was one of the leaders of the new night elf society and was present at the forbidden formation of the new [[Well of Eternity]] by [[Illidan]], and later at the wonderous planting of the [[World Tree]]. The Highborne had to reconcile with the rest of the night elves if they were going to revive their civilization. This peace did not last forever. When the surviving [[night elves]] chose to take up druidism and forsake all forms of arcane magic, he called the [[druid]]s cowards for refusing to use the power of magic. As the Highborne felt the pangs of their addiction to magic they grew more desperate, and in an attempt to convince the druids to change their minds, the Highborne led by Dath'Remar unleashed a terrible magical storm across [[Ashenvale Forest]]. For this final action, the Highborne were exiled. |

| − | The Highborne exiles boarded specially crafted ships and sailed eastwards, braving the Maelstrom. They landed in the Tirisfal Glades, and Dath'Remar took his ancestral name [[Sunstrider dynasty|Sunstrider]], meaning 'he who walks in the day,'<sup>[[The Founding of Quel'Thalas|1]]</sup> to accompany the cultural and physical changes the Highborne were undertaking. After being forced to abandon Tirisfal, Dath'Remar led his [[high elves]] to a land in northern Lordaeron. There he and his brethren created the [[Sunwell]], the magical foundation of their new kingdom of [[Quel'Thalas]]. Dath'Remar was crowned the first High King of [[Quel'Thalas]] and though he did not rule, the king retained a modicum of political power. It is rumored that Dath'Remar's signature weapon was the sword [[Felo'melorn]], also known as Flamestrike, which became an heirloom of the Sunstrider Dynasty and has been wielded by his descendants to the last of the Sunstriders, Prince [[Kael'thas]]. He also wielded the [[Sunstrider's Longbow]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Though his descendant [[Anasterian Sunstrider]] was king during the [[The Fall of Silvermoon|invasion]] by the scourge to [[Quel'thalas]], Dath'Remar seems to have been still alive according to the epitaph on the [[Shrine of Dath'Remar]] on [[Sunstrider Isle]]. The epitaph speaks of his sacrifice during the recent invasion, despite the fact he is not mentioned in any other source to have even been alive during the invasion. It is probable that this sacrifice is figurative and not literal, but if it is literal, than something is very odd (the writer may have simply confused him with [[Anasterian Sunstrider|Anasterian]]). |

| − | :''Note: According to the [[War of the Ancients Trilogy]], Dath'Remar already had the name Sunstrider. Although apparently there is a Remar dynasty as well, [[blood mage|Kath'ranis Remar]]. Its unclear which sides of the family Remar and Sunstrider originate.'' |
