Llane was born in the year 564 by the [[Chronicles of the War in Azeroth|accounting of years]] formerly used in that kingdom. In 577, Llane reached to the [[Age of Ascension]] and was given the full title Prince of Azeroth. During the evening feast arranged to honor the young Prince, the great wizard [[Medivh]], who had been absent from events of the world for years, interrupted, announcing his return to the world and giving an obsidian hourglass to Llane, symbolizing Azeroth's unending prosperity. The sands in the glass ran, but the top half never emptied into the lower half.

It has been discovered that the ley line intersection at [[Moonrest Gardens]] was unfettered by the blue dragonflight. Their forces used a [[Surge Needle|surge needle]] to destroy the capstone, but instead of flowing the power back to the [[Nexus]], they utilized a series of foci to clumsily run and augment the power under the land to the [[Azure Dragonshrine]].
Six years later, Llane awoke in ordinary morning to find to his horror that the hourglass had almost completely emptied. As the last grain fell, an attack on [[Stormwind Keep]] by the [[orcs]] began. Although the orc attack was repulsed, this marked the beginning of the First War that would last for years. Llane was sent with his mother to [[Northshire Abbey]] away from potential danger by his father, who in turn began to lead the battle against the orcs.

Needless to say, this has had dire consequences wherever the magic shot up through the ground. The [[Lothalor Ancient|Ancients]] of the [[Lothalor Woodlands|woodlands]], [[the Kalu'ak]], and other creatures have been adversely affected. Luckily for us, <name>, the <race> who stands before you, was instrumental in tracking down and dealing with all of these problems.
The next year, his father, King Adamant Wrynn III died, and at the age of twenty, Llane was pronounced King of Azeroth and continued the battle against the orcs for ten relatively successful years, during which the invaders were held back to the [[Swamp of Sorrows]].

Ten years later, Llane was visited by a mysterious stranger who revealed herself to be [[Aegwynn]], the mother of Medivh. She revealed that Medivh was behind the arrival of the orcs into the kingdom, warning that Azeroth would eventually have to deal with him.{{cite|WC1manH|22-25}}

Yours ever respectfully,
Following the rise of [[Blackhand]] as [[Warchief]], the war turned badly against Stormwind. Sensing that the final confrontation was at hand, Llane prepared to rally the armies of Azeroth against the orcs. [[Garona Halforcen]] was a close friend of Llane, but also secretly an agent of the Horde. As the orcs besieged Stormwind itself, Garona (under mental control of the orc [[Shadow Council]]) sorrowfully assassinated the beloved king and took his heart to the head of the Council, the warlock [[Gul'dan]]. Garona knew from a vision she had seen in [[Karazhan]] that she was fated to kill one of the few men who accepted her for what she was, and thus it was King Llane's assassin who mourned him most of all.

In patch 3.1, King Llane is seen during [[Yogg-Saron|Yogg-Saron's]] vision of his assassination. Yogg-Saron also drops two pieces of gear apparently tied to King Llane: {{loot|Epic|Royal Seal of King Llane}} and {{loot|Epic|Kingsbane}}. The former is his symbol of office, stained with blood from his assassination. The latter seems to imply it was the weapon used to do the deed; it makes a good [[rogue]] weapon, and the flavor text is similar to Garona's feelings in the wake of her betrayal. How both items came to be in Yogg-Saron's possession is unknown.

Content

My queen,

It has been discovered that the ley line intersection at Moonrest Gardens was unfettered by the blue dragonflight. Their forces used a surge needle to destroy the capstone, but instead of flowing the power back to the Nexus, they utilized a series of foci to clumsily run and augment the power under the land to the Azure Dragonshrine.

Needless to say, this has had dire consequences wherever the magic shot up through the ground. The Ancients of the woodlands, the Kalu'ak, and other creatures have been adversely affected. Luckily for us, <name>, the <race> who stands before you, was instrumental in tracking down and dealing with all of these problems.

In my opinion, <name> could be a great asset to Wyrmrest in helping to deal with the problems that the temple currently faces. I humbly ask that you consider <him/her> a resource, one which I found to be invaluable.

Yours ever respectfully,

Modera
