'''Halduron Brightwing''' is a level ?? elite [[blood elf]] found within the [[Sunfury Spire]] of [[Silvermoon City]]. He serves under Regent Lord [[Lor'themar Theron]]<ref>http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/burningcrusade/townhall/history-be.html</ref> as the [[Ranger-General of Silvermoon]], and is both the blood elves' military commander on [[Azeroth (world)|Azeroth]] and the leader of the [[Farstriders]].
−
'''Tyrande Whisperwind''' (pronounced ''Ti-Ran-da'') is the chosen high priestess of the goddess [[Elune]], the former general of the [[night elf]] [[sentinels]] and the current head of the [[Sisterhood of Elune]]. Together with her lifelong mate, the [[archdruid]] [[Malfurion Stormrage]], she has represented the highest leadership of the night elves since the fall of [[Queen Azshara]] and the [[Highborne]] caste ten thousand years ago. In ''World of Warcraft'', she is found inside the [[Temple of the Moon]] within the Kaldorei's capital city of [[Darnassus]].
  
   
  +
As of [[Patch 3.3]], Brightwing will also appear at the entrance of the Sunwell during the quests to restore the fabled sword [[Quel'Delar]].<ref>{{quest|Journey To The Sunwell (Alliance)}}/{{quest|Journey To The Sunwell (Horde)|(Horde)}}</ref>

[[File:Tyrandetrin.JPG|thumb|left|Tyrande]]
  
−
=== Early life and relationships ===
  
−
Tyrande Whisperwind grew up together with the two male night elf twins, [[Malfurion]] and [[Illidan Stormrage]], in the kaldorei city of [[Suramar]]. The three were inseparable, playing in the woods, racing, learning to hunt. Tyrande consistently bested the brothers. As they grew into adulthood together they encouraged each other to find their respective callings.
 
   
  +
Halduron will also briefly relocate to the [[Ghostlands]] as of [[Patch 4.1.0]].
−
Tyrande was to find peace in the Temple of Elune in [[Suramar]], and became a novice priestess in the order of the [[Sisters of Elune]]. Malfurion, meanwhile, was taken under the wing of the demigod [[Cenarius]], but Illidan was yet to find his own destiny, and searched for it in the arts of the [[arcane]]. Illidan was enamoured by the very thought of Tyrande, but his brother never even noticed this "contest" of Illidan's over Tyrande's heart.

  +
===Second War===
−
When the [[War of the Ancients]] began, Tyrande helped to convince Illidan to leave the [[Highborne]], and when he did, she helped him to master his insatiable addiction to magic as they sought out [[Cenarius]]. When finally they found him, they gained the allies of [[Alexstrasza|Alexstrasza's]] dragons to fight at their side, and made war upon the [[Burning Legion]] and its allies [[Queen Azshara|Azshara]] and her unholy Highborne. It was during the battles against the Burning Legion that it became apparent that Tyrande was far more adept at channeling the power of Elune than any other member of her order.

[[File:Manga_Halduron.jpg|thumb|Halduron Brightwing in the Sunwell trilogy.]]
  +
Halduron, a high elven [[Farstrider]], served his country faithfully as the [[Amani]] [[trolls]] - emboldened by their alliance with the [[Old Horde]] - attacked [[Quel'Thalas]] directly. Halduron, disguised as an elderly cloaked man leaning on a staff for support, was stalked by a troll named [[Ter'lij]] and his war-party. However, Halduron sheds his disguise and quickly turned the tables on his opponents, cutting them down with his longsword and impaling Ter'lij mid-air with a spear. He was approached by [[Alleria Windrunner]], a friend of his, who had convinced [[King Anasterian]] to mobilize his forces against the invaders. She instructed him to join up with her sister, [[Ranger-general of Silvermoon|Ranger-General]] [[Sylvanas]], and waylay the enemy forces in the [[Eversong|forest]]. Halduron and his company swiftly departed, and joined up with his comrade [[Lor'themar Theron]]'s ranger company too.<ref>[[Tides of Darkness]], pg. 211</ref>
   
  +
===Third War===
−
Tyrande was long the love interest of both Malfurion Stormrage and his brother Illidan, though it was Malfurion to whom she returned the affection.
  
  +
During the [[Scourge]] invasion, Ranger General Sylvanas was slain by the merciless [[Prince Arthas]], and a void was left -- leaving the [[high elven]] [[ranger]]s without a leader. The Farstriders soon chose Halduron Brightwing as the new leader.<ref>[[Dark Factions]], pg. 152.</ref> As he was a great ranger, he was promoted to Ranger-General of Silvermoon, and rules the rangers to this day.<ref>[[Dark Factions]], pg. 154.</ref>
   
  +
==The Sunwell==
−
In the latter half of the war, word reached Tyrande of the death of High Priestess [[Dejahna]] at the hands of the Burning Legion and how on her deathbed she had named a successor, one who was favored by [[Elune]] and touched with the power of the [[Elune|Goddess]] herself: Tyrande. Tyrande was forced to reluctantly accept her new role as High Priestess even though she had major reservations about her ability to lead the night elves.
  
  +
{{Graphic novel}}
  +
After [[Kael'thas Sunstrider]] renamed the [[high elven]] race "blood elves" in honor of their fallen brethren, he joined with the [[New Alliance]] to battle the [[Scourge]] threat running rampant throughout [[Lordaeron]]. Halduron and his old friend [[Lor'themar]] were instructed to remain behind in the shattered [[Quel'Thalas]], and attempt to find a cure for their people, fresh from the [[Sunwell|Sunwell's]] destruction. Halduron and Lor'themar coordinated guerilla attacks against the Scourge remnants within Quel'Thalas, with varying success.
   
  +
At some point, [[Dar'Khan Drathir]] pursued the current avatar of the Sunwell, a woman named [[Anveena Teague]], to the elven homeland. Lor'themar and Halduron learned of this, and resolved to avenge the Sunwell's destruction by killing the treacherous Dar'Khan. In a conversation with Halduron, Lor'themar reveals that Dar'Khan had befriended him in order to use his knowledge of Quel'Thalas' defenses against their people, after he betrayed them to [[Arthas]] himself. Halduron ambushed Dar'Khan as he taunted Lor'themar about his role in their homeland's destruction, though both Halduron and Lor'themar were pushed back after Dar'Khan raised undead high elves against them.

=== The Sundering ===

[[File:panorama.jpg|thumb|right|Cenarius instructs Tyrande, Malfurion and Illidan.]]
  
   
  +
Halduron later discovers the presence of none other than [[Sylvanas Windrunner]], his predecessor, active in Quel'Thalas. He and Lor'themar find and take [[Kalecgos]] and his companions captive, though they ultimately join forces after Kalecgos reveals their plight and [[Tyrigosa]] reveals her dragon form. Halduron witnesses the apparent destruction of Dar'Khan at the hands of a reinvigorated Anveena.
−
As she felt the energies of Azshara's gateway grow, Tyrande knew that they had to stem the flow of demonic reinforcements. Malfurion came up with the idea that they must destroy the Well, which was doubtless the portal's location. At first, Cenarius and Alexstrasza were wary, knowing that only the [[Well of Eternity]] gave them their powers. Tyrande, however, though she too enjoyed her immortality and power, realized that it must be done to save their world, and convinced them to go along with it.
  
   
  +
Halduron also gained knowledge of Anveena's status as the Sunwell's mortal avatar, and she was put under the blood elves' protection at an undisclosed location in Quel'Thalas.
−
Illidan, however, would not hear of it, and despite Tyrande's pleas he abandoned his brother and made to warn Azshara. Tyrande and Malfurion quickly moved against them, but they were too late. Azshara, warned by Illidan, was all too prepared for them, and the magical onslaught she unleashed upon their forces devastated them.

==Burning Crusade==
  +
{{bc-section}}
  +
Following [[Grand Magister Rommath]]'s return and the reclamation of Quel'Thalas, Halduron ruled the [[Farstriders]] and served as the [[Ranger-General of Silvermoon]]. During this time, he was supportive of Lor'themar's decisions to keep the nation safe, such as allying with the [[Forsaken]] to protect the southern [[Ghostlands]]. Halduron was opposed to the creation of the [[Blood Knights]], and indeed shared [[Thrall|Warchief Thrall]] and [[Cairne Bloodhoof|High Chieftain Cairne's]] deep concerns about the maltreatment of [[M'uru]], which led him into several arguments with Rommath, who himself was a strong supporter of the Blood Knights.
   
  +
Halduron and Rommath would come to harsh words on many matters, though Halduron came to develop a respect and trust for his compatriot after Rommath remained loyal to Silvermoon following the devastating [[Burning Legion|betrayal]] of [[Kael'thas]].<ref>[[In the Shadow of the Sun]]</ref>
−
As Malfurion fought at the entrance, Tyrande snuck into Azshara's palace with a small band of [[Sentinels]] and launched an attack from behind, but were startled by the queen's guardsmen. Though the Sentinels destroyed the guardsmen, most of them were destroyed, and Tyrande suffered near-fatal wounds. At the sight of his love falling in battle, Malfurion was enraged, and attacked Azshara. Their battle threw the spellcraft of the high-borne into chaos and the portal beneath the Well of Eternity collapsed with such force that the Well was destroyed, and the world was scarred, torn into fragments as floods engulfed the lands.
 
   
  +
With the elven scion no more, Halduron urged the regent lord to take a more royal and prestigious role in Quel'Thalas, though Lor'themar was consistently opposed to this notion.
−
Tyrande managed to survive the [[Great Sundering|Sundering]], and she helped to lead her people back across the waves to Cenarius' land on [[Mount Hyjal]]. Cenarius and Malfurion had also survived, and they made the long trek back to land together. To their horror however, a lake atop Mount Hyjal had become fouled by the magical energies of the Well of Eternity, which they had hoped was gone forever. It was Illidan, who had taken several vials from the old Well's waters and poured it into the lake, creating a new Well of Eternity. Malfurion, knowing that Illidan's addiction to magic would always be a threat to the safety of the world, imprisoned his brother in the caverns below Hyjal; the [[Barrow Deeps]]. However, with the Sundering still fresh in their minds, Tyrande and the night elves dared not attempt to destroy the new Well.
  
   
  +
At some point following the reclamation of the [[Sunwell]], Halduron obtained a [[Thori'dal, the Stars' Fury|legendary elven bow]].

−
Tyrande slowly went about rebuilding the night elven society. After the World Tree was made, and the high elves exiled, Malfurion knew that he had to leave Tyrande to rejoin the [[Emerald Dream]]. Tyrande, not wanting to be alone, begged him not to, but he insisted, and drifted off into hibernation in a Barrow Den within the Moonglades, along with all the druids. Tyrande and the remaining night elven women reformed the [[Sentinels]], and they kept peace throughout [[Ashenvale]] with the help of Cenarius' sons and daughters, the Keepers of the Grove and the dryads, and the many creatures who knew and loved the Moon Goddess. But without Malfurion, she felt lost and alone, despite her devotion. The centuries passed, and suddenly, a new threat arrived on their shores.

{{novel-section}}
  +
Shortly after the great betrayal of [[Kael'thas Sunstrider]], [[Lor'themar]] receives numerous letters from one [[Archmage Aethas Sunreaver]], desiring an audience. His pleas being ignored, Aethas finally simply announces his intention to visit Silvermoon City, a notion which Halduron takes mild amusement in.
   
  +
As Halduron, Lor'themar and Rommath await Aethas' arrival, Halduron hands Lor'themar a tabard -- the royal [[Sunstrider]] seal across its chest. Lor'themar refuses to take it, noting that he is the Regent Lord, not the King -- to which Halduron replies that he may as well be.
−
=== Invasion of Ashenvale ===
  
−
The [[Shadowleaf]] Sentinels, led by [[Shandris Feathermoon]], returned to Mount Hyjal to report with sorrow that [[Cenarius]] had been murdered by [[Orcs|green-skinned]] invaders who had arrived from across the sea. They were desecrating the outskirts of the forests, and perverting the wilds for whatever reason. Tyrande gathered her Sentinels once again, and she sensed a growing evil. Shandris, in counsel, suggested that perhaps it was the orcs, but still, Tyrande was still uneasily aware that there was a darker power hiding in the shadows.
  
   
  +
Following Aethas and Rommath's strong disagreement regarding the Kirin Tor and [[Malygos]], Lor'themar retires to his chambers. Halduron soon joins him, and the two old friends discuss what should be done. Halduron again references Lor'themar's attitude to that of a King's, though Lor'themar remains silent.
−
During her short campaign, Tyrande found a group of [[furbolgs]] who were trying to leave Ashenvale before it was corrupted. Tyrande helped them gather their people and bid them farewell.
 
   
  +
Several days later, Lor'themar prepares for his journey [[Eastern Plaguelands|south of the Ghostlands]], against Halduron's advice. Knowing that he can't stop him, Halduron settles for ensuring Lor'themar has an adequate escort.
−
After killing [[Duke Lionheart]], hordes of [[undead]] invaders suddenly swarmed into the settlement, and the orcs and humans were quickly overcome. Tyrande quickly withdrew her forces, knowing that her small detachment could not handle such staggering numbers. They retreated, tirelessly followed by the undead. Finally, they caught up to them, and their fel leader was revealed.
  
   
  +
Halduron, Rommath and Aethas later await Lor'themar's return, and Aethas briefly inquires about how his journey to the [[High Elf]] lodge went. Aethas also speaks of the disapproval the few quel'dorei within the Kirin Tor give the sin'dorei, and Halduron is visibly irritated at the mention of [[Vereesa Windrunner|Vereesa's]] name.
−
[[Archimonde]] slaughtered her kindred, and would have killed her if she had not quickly used the powers of [[Elune]] to hide in the shadows. Enraged, Archimonde ordered his [[doom guard]] to find and destroy her. Hoping to warn Shandris before the Shadowleaves were attacked, Tyrande stealthily used her shadow powers to navigate the forests unseen. She collected the survivors of her cadre, and together, they raided the undead settlement blocking their way and made for the Shadowleaf encampment across the river.
  
   
  +
Later that afternoon, Lor'themar informs Halduron of the full picture -- that the [[High Elves]] of [[Quel'Lithien]] had come under attack from [[Horde]] agents in the name of [[Nathanos Blightcaller]], and that the quel'dorei of the lodge had outright declined any assistance from the sin'dorei. Halduron notes that it was to be expected, especially considering Lor'themar had banished them from Quel'Thalas prior. Lor'themar reasons that he could not lead a nation divided, and that at any rate, the killed rangers were as much Halduron's company as they were his.
−
=== Awakening of the druids ===
  
−
[[File:Tyrande-Whisperwind3.jpg|thumb|Tyrande Whisperwind]]
  
   
  +
Halduron briefly questions whether or not the [[Dark Lady]] would know of Nathanos' onslaught, though retracts the statement upon wondering whether or not she would even care.
−
Tyrande knew that the time had come to awaken the [[druids]] once again. Leaving Shandris to defend the forests of Ashenvale, Tyrande made haste for the Barrow Dens in the [[Moonglade]]. The [[dryads]] reported that [[Tichondrius]] and his [[Scourge]] were advancing on [[Malfurion's Barrow Den]] and the [[Horn of Cenarius]] on the Moonglade was blocked by an orcish settlement. In a race against time, Tyrande rushed through the orc camp and, after defeating the Primal Guardians of the Moonglade, recovered the Horn of Cenarius, and awoke Malfurion Stormrage, her love. The Primal Guardians were the [[Fire Protector]], [[Ice Protector]] and [[Lightning Protector]].
  
   
  +
Following Sylvanas' visit to [[Sunfury Spire]], and Lor'themar's conflict with Rommath in regards to a war in [[Northrend]], Halduron formally asks what the Regent Lord's orders are. Having resolved to commit to the war effort, Lor'themar instructs him to contact the [[Farstrider]] lodges, and inform them of what has been decided.
−
Malfurion believed that Archimonde's primary motivation was to assault [[Nordrassil]], the World Tree, steal its energies, and become a god. Together, they set out to [[Winterspring]] to awaken the [[Druids of the Talon]] from their [[Druid of the Talon's Barrow Den]]. However, when they arrived, Tyrande found the [[Felwood]] furbolg tribe. They had not escaped the corruption after all, and Tyrande, having no alternative ended their suffering once and for all. Malfurion noted that Tyrande was different than he remembered, and she replied acidly that she did not have the "luxury of sleeping through times of peril." It seems that as much as she loves him, she would prefer he spend time with her rather than his duties in the Emerald Dream.
  
   
  +
Halduron simply nods, and gives Lor'themar a glance he cannot quite read.
−
=== The Barrow Deeps and liberation of Illidan ===
  
−
After the Druids of the Talon were awakened, they proceeded back to the base of Mount Hyjal, where they entered the [[Barrow Deeps]] to find the [[Druids of the Claw]]. However, they soon came to an elven door, and Malfurion recognized it as the door to Illidan's prison. Tyrande thought that they should free him, saying he would be the perfect power against the enemy. Malfurion forbade her to do so. However, Tyrande, enraged that he would forbid her anything, gathered her Sentinels and entered the prison.
  
   
  +
==Wrath of the Lich King==
−
After battling through [[Califax]] and his minions, and defying [[Maiev Shadowsong]], the warden of Illidan, Tyrande found him, and bid him come back to help their people. Illidan, still in love with Tyrande, professed he would battle the demons, but not for the glory of the night elves. When they met Malfurion again, he rebuked Tyrande for her insolence, and told her that he would have nothing to do with Illidan.

  +
Halduron plays a role in the quest to restore the legendary elven blade [[Quel'Delar]], having travelled to the [[Isle of Quel'Danas]] to oversee and inspect the renewed [[Sunwell]]'s defenses. He now controls access to the Sunwell, and learns of [[Myralion Sunblaze]] and [[Caladis Brightspear]]'s quest to see the blade restored. Halduron is initially skeptical of whether the blade is truly ready to accept another owner, and reiterates the fate of the blade's original owner, [[Thalorien Dawnseeker]], a valiant high elf who gave his life to buy the Sunwell's defenders time to prepare for the Scourge assault. Halduron sends heroes to his resting place, and allows them to enter the Sunwell once the spirit of Thalorien offers them his blessing.
   
  +
For [[Horde]] agents, he urges them not to be intertwined in [[Lor'themar Theron]] and [[Grand Magister Rommath]]'s political scheming within, and to instead remain focused on the task at hand.<ref>[[Quest:The Purification of Quel'Delar (Horde)]]</ref> For [[Alliance]] agents, Halduron warns them that they are guests in the most sacred place known to the people of [[Quel'Thalas]], and to behave accordingly.<ref>[[Quest:Thalorien Dawnseeker (Alliance)]]</ref>
−
After Illidan went to Felwood to battle the demons, Tyrande and Malfurion got word that he was under heavy attack by Tichondrius. They quickly mustered a force and went to reinforce him. When they arrived, they found that the Scourge and Tichondrius had been defeated, and found Illidan had beaten them by somehow transforming into a demon himself. Tyrande was horrified, and made no objection when Malfurion banished Illidan from the forests forever.

[[File:Tyrande10.jpg|thumb|Tyrande as seen in Warcraft III.]]
  
  +
Halduron Brightwing makes an appearance on the outskirts of [[Zul'Aman]], meeting with his [[Farstrider Troll-Hunter|Farstrider Troll Hunters]], the [[Darkspear]] Chieftain [[Vol'jin]], and [[Vereesa Windrunner]]. He is approached by a [[Silvermoon Messenger]], who conveys Regent Lord Lor'themar's demand to know why Vereesa had entered their lands. Halduron reveals that many of his [[Farstriders]] are unavailable, and that he had personally invited Vereesa and her rangers to help address the new Zul'Aman threat. The messenger mentions that Lor'themar does not agree with the sentiment, and that Halduron has no authority to do so, though Halduron dismisses it as necessary -- his role as [[Quel'Thalas]]' ranger-general allowing him to seek aid wherever needed to keep his homeland safe.
   
  +
Vol'jin explains that the [[Zandalari]] are seeking to create a new [[troll]] empire, reaching out to all of the troll tribes, including the [[Amani]] and his own Darkspear tribe -- the likes of which would be a grave threat if not immediately dealt with. Halduron and Vereesa resolve to join forces, their Farstriders and rangers lending aid to Vol'jin's plight.
−
Soon, Malfurion brought Tyrande to a hillock in Ashenvale, and they were met by the leaders of the outlanders. Tyrande sent them away, saying that they had no place there, but suddenly, the Prophet appeared, revealing himself to be [[Medivh]], the Last Guardian of [[Tirisfal]]. He told them that this foe was beyond any of them, and that they would only be victorious if they joined forces. Tyrande, the death of Cenarius still fresh in her mind, was at first wary, but soon saw that she had little other choice. So, together, they planned their defense of Hyjal.
  
   
  +
==Quests==
−
Tyrande, Malfurion, and Shandris helped to defend [[Jaina Proudmoore]]'s base until it was finally overrun, and then they moved to reinforce [[Thrall]]'s forces. Finally, [[Archimonde]] came upon the night elven settlement at the gates, and destroyed it all. Everything was going according to plan.
  
  +
With [[patch 3.3]], he will be involved in the following quests:

==Personality==
−
Archimonde, made overconfident by his victories, moved against the World Tree, heedless of the Ancestral Guardians who had begun to gather in the forests around its roots. At a call from Malfurion, they massed and collectively assaulted the warlock. When they detonated, Archimonde was immediately destroyed, and the World Tree seared. They had won against impossible odds.

[[File:Halduron Lor'themar Ghostlands.jpg|thumb|200px|Lor'themar and Halduron in the [[Ghostlands]].]]
  +
Halduron Brightwing, as the leader of the [[Farstriders]] and the [[Ranger-general of Silvermoon]], represents the side of [[Quel'Thalas]] typically associated with its [[high elven]] roots. Halduron is a natural ranger, a Quel'Thalas patriot, and a level-headed military leader, demonstrating none of the more sin'dorei supremacist views shared by many of his compatriots. He is more than willing to put typical elven prejudice aside, and is highly respectful to members of the [[Darkspear Tribe|wider Horde]].
   
  +
Halduron is close friends with the Regent Lord of Quel'Thalas, [[Lor'themar Theron]], and the two have been closely allied since their early days as [[elven ranger|rangers]]. Halduron appears to be Lor'themar's primary confidant, and is a strong supporter of Lor'themar taking on a more prestigious role befitting the nation's leader - even giving him the [[Sunstrider]] royal colours to better convey this. Halduron has likened his attitude to that of a King's numerous times. Their friendship seems to have been somewhat strained, as Halduron was not particularly enthusiastic about Lor'themar's decision to commit to the [[Northrend]] war, and even warned members of the [[Horde]] not to be taken in by Lor'themar and [[Rommath]]'s "political scheming."
−
In the wake of the titanic battle, the allies went their separate ways. Jaina's people settled on the island of [[Theramore]], [[Cairne Bloodhoof]] of the [[tauren]] established [[Thunder Bluff]] in [[Mulgore]], [[Thrall]] founded the nation of [[Durotar]], and Tyrande and Malfurion took their people back into Ashenvale to begin healing the damage done by the Burning Legion.
  
   
  +
Like [[Auric Sunchaser]], Halduron does not appear to consider the divide between the [[sin'dorei]] and the [[quel'dorei]] to be particularly large, and both have referred to the race collectively as "children of [[Silvermoon]]." With most of his Farstriders away, Halduron was more than content with calling upon [[Vereesa Windrunner]] and her rangers to assist he and [[Vol'jin]] in dealing with the new [[Zandalari]] empire; his reasoning being simply that Vereesa knows the land as well as anyone. He again came into conflict with Lor'themar regarding this decision, though Halduron does silence Vereesa after she refers to the Regent Lord as a "coward."
−
=== Terror of the Tides ===
  
−
After many months, however, they were interrupted by a runner from [[Maiev Shadowsong]], who reported that the Warden had come under [[The Broken Isles|heavy attack]] by Illidan. Malfurion decided to go to her and reinforce her, and Tyrande was quick to follow him.
  
   
  +
As expected of Quel'Thalas' Ranger General, Halduron is a master of combat (both melee and ranged) and wields a variety of weapons, including spears, swords, daggers and bows, with effortless prowess.<ref>[[Tides of Darkness]], pg. 211-212</ref> He has been seen wielding a longspear in tandem with his longsword, using both of their strengths to dispose of larger groups of enemies.
−
Tyrande and Malfurion sailed east to the [[Broken Isles]] and battled their way to Maiev, where they fought valiantly against Illidan's insidious [[naga]]. Maiev was grateful for Malfurion's assistance, but turned up her nose at the sight of Tyrande. Maiev told Tyrande that she was to blame for Illidan's escape and the murders of the Watchers who'd been guarding him, that she should be locked away like Illidan, but Tyrande defended her actions and told her she had no right to judge her. Malfurion told them to set it aside before they can trade blows.
  
−  
−
Illidan told her that he wanted to show her his power. However, Tyrande revealed a detail that had haunted Illidan for ten thousand years; she believed that raw magical power can never replace one's true inner strength. This is why she had chosen Malfurion over Illidan. Tyrande told him that now she realized it was a mistake to have ever set him free. As they were nearing victory, Tyrande noticed Illidan fleeing the scene and therefore took chase. Illidan ensnared her but spared her life. When Malfurion and Maiev arrived, Illidan was seen immediately fleeing.

The three heroes took chase across the sea once again, and landed on a strange, uncharted land. Malfurion recognized it as the conquered lands of [[Lordaeron]]. With the forest so blighted by the passing of the Scourge, he felt he needed to commune with its spirits. He left Tyrande and Maiev alone together, telling them to settle their disputes another time.
  
−  
−
They had begun to look for Illidan when they ran across a group of Alliance [[blood elves]], led by [[Prince Kael'thas]]. He explained that they were being overrun by the [[Scourge]] and were packing up their things and evacuating to across the nearby river Arevass. Tyrande resolved to help them, despite Maiev's protests. The Warden believed that they should ignore the elves and rush to find Illidan, but Tyrande insisted that they would not leave them unprotected since their brethren (the Alliance members in Theramore) had aided them against the Burning Legion. Tyrande and Maiev thwarted the Scourge's relentless assault and finally arrived at [[Pyrewood]] village, but an ambush was lying in wait, and the caravan came under attack.
  
−  
−
Tyrande told them to cross the river, and promised that she would hold the line. Maiev sneered at her nobility, saying that she would never hold against such forces. But Tyrande was confident that Elune would protect and strengthen her.
  
−  
−
As the undead forces advanced, Tyrande called down the fire of the stars to crush all enemies of her people, and the lines of undead fell before her. But as she neared victory, the bridge she was on crumbled away, and Tyrande was swept up the river, deeper into undead territory. Maiev told her blood elf allies to help her hunt Illidan rather than save Tyrande.
  
−  
−
Encountering some remnants of her forces, Tyrande held out on a small island as the undead harassed her time and time again. Their tireless assaults began to wear away at the stalwart Sentinels, and Tyrande feared that they would be lost. But, to her surprise, Illidan battled his way to her and rescued her, bringing her through a portal to a safe area.
  
−  
−
When they exited the portal, Tyrande admitted her surprise at this sudden turn of events, and found that Malfurion and Illidan had joined forces to save her. Malfurion told Illidan that his actions saved his life, but that he would never be allowed to threaten the night elves ever again. Illidan understood, and vanished through another portal. Maiev arrived on the scene, furious at Malfurion's allowing Illidan to escape, and took her Watchers through the portal. Tyrande called for her to stop, but Malfurion advised the priestess not to waste her breath. Maiev had become the embodiment of vengeance, and would no longer listen to reason. Tyrande invited Malfurion to return home with her for a well-deserved rest.

−
With Malfurion inexplicably lost in the Emerald Dream, Tyrande has again become the sole ruler of her people. Though deeply distressed and initially disheartened by Malfurion's disappearance, she nevertheless strives to keep the night elves from reliving the mistakes of the past. Recently, Tyrande became aware of the corruption eating away at the Emerald Dream. When [[Eranikus]] assaulted Moonglade, the High Priestess led a half-dozen of her fellows to aid the defenders. Tyrande herself took on Eranikus alongside [[Remulos]]. Despite the strength of the Nightmare eating away at Eranikus, the light of Elune as channeled through Tyrande was enough to free the "Tyrant of the Dream."
  
−  
−
Tyrande can now be found attending to her duties as high-priestess and leader of the [[Sisters of Elune|Sisters]] inside the [[Temple of the Moon]] at [[Darnassus]]. She wears a {{loot|Rare|Mooncloth Robe}}.
  
−  
−
Tyrande will congratulate Alliance players who obtain the title of [[The Loremaster|Loremaster]] and reward them with their {{loot|epic|Loremaster's Colors}}.
  
−  
−
==== Tactics ====
  
−
Darnassus has several entrances, and can be entered through the usual portal or by ascending Teldrassil via [[flying mount]]. Rush straight for the temple, and deal with the large guard spawns before approaching Tyrande's balcony. With the raid in place, it is a good idea to look out for any [[Alliance]] players who may interrupt the battle.
  
−  
−
At first glance, the battle with Tyrande can seem intimidating, due the presence of Malfurion Stormrage by her side. However, Malfurion does not engage [[Horde]] players, and will therefore not interfere with the fight against Tyrande. There are no elite guards or [[battlemasters]], so only one tank is needed. Hold Tyrande with the tank's back against the wall opposite the balcony.
  
−  
−
Tyrande's major ability is her channelled [[Starfall]]. It is a powerful technique, and the small amount of space allocated for the fight leaves many members of the raid susceptible to it, most notably melee. However, the ability costs mana, and Tyrande can be drained of it relatively quickly via [[Mana Burn]] abilities. Tyrande will use a searing arrow on a random party member, and a [[moonfire]], though again, only with mana. If drained completely, she will rely on her far weaker melee abilities, and the fight's difficulty will drop considerably.

When [[Broll Bearmantle]] and [[Varian Wrynn|Lo'Gosh]] visited Darnassus to give the [[Idol of Remulos]] to [[Fandral Staghelm]] they also met Tyrande at the Temple of the Moon and later on a dinner when Lo'Gosh told his story to the priestess. She sensed the dark magic in his amnesia and sent the two friends to seek [[Jaina Proudmoore]]'s council in [[Theramore]].

== Personality ==
 +
==Appearance==
  +
Halduron is described as a handsome-looking elf with narrow features, more often than not cloaked and with his bow and blades at his side.<ref>[[Tides of Darkness]]</ref> During his battles in the [[Ghostlands]], Halduron was draped in a mixture of cloth and mail; his bow nestled atop his cloak and his chest covered by a large sin'dorei phoenix emblem. His hair is long, blonde and slicked, parted at the front, and further parted into two large bangs for his debut in ''World of Warcraft''.
−
[[File:Tyrandeportrait.JPG|thumb|left|Tyrande in Warcraft III.]]
  
−
Tyrande is the passionate, and occasionally rash, leader of the [[night elf]] [[Sentinel]]s. She is also the high priestess of the Moon, and worships [[Elune]] with total submission and adoration. She loves [[Malfurion Stormrage]] and will do almost anything to help or protect him. Tyrande is a caring soul at her core, and is willing to do anything to protect those she loves and is sworn to protect — which these days means the entire [[kaldorei]] race. She is decisive, and may take courses of action that others find disagreeable, but always has the well being of Kalimdor at the forefront of her thoughts. [[Illidan Stormrage]] once observed that she looked like a goddess herself in her war regalia, a compliment Tyrande was reluctant to accept, given her initially peaceful nature. Tyrande is in many ways the perfect avatar for [[Elune]] on Azeroth: she is a caring and gentle soul when she needs to be, but is willing to do whatever it takes to protect her home and her people. Tyrande was originally daunted by her task, but found the strength needed to adapt with the support of her beloved [[Malfurion]].
  
   
  +
His initial outfit in ''World of Warcraft'' was a simplified version of the [[Farstrider]] attire; green and yellow leather with two daggers and a bow. His model update for [[Patch 4.1.0]] showed Halduron donning a more exquisite outfit - dark blue mails and shedding his humble bow for [[Thori'dal, the Stars' Fury]].
−
She is highly suspicious of outsiders from other races, and only rarely volunteers advice or assistance to them. The most she will offer to do for visitors is to provide a small escort of archers or huntresses to guide them, as well as to secretly keep tabs on them and prevent them from despoiling her homeland in any way. As she grows to know outsiders better, she tends to open up more to them and can become quite friendly. She often develops a deep respect and camaraderie with anyone who fights side-by-side with her on the battlefield, and appreciates the assistance of strangers even if she doesn’t display or communicate that appreciation very well.
  
   
  +
Halduron also wears a unique headband unavailable to players, studded with an engraved bird emblem (presumably, a phoenix) extending its wings at its center.
−
Tyrande rides a mighty female frostsaber tiger named [[Ash'alah]] into battle. She prefers to fight in forests where she is most comfortable. She uses her speed and mobility to stay at range while peppering enemies with lethal bow shots. She uses her most powerful spells if severely outnumbered or the battle is going poorly.<ref>''[[Shadows & Light]]'', 57</ref> When confronted by enemies, she never hesitates to attack and prefers to not let any escape alive. Her duty to protect her people from danger is greater than her own personal moral code about fighting with honor. If an enemy turns to flee, she will gladly take the opportunity to put a cluster of arrows deep in his back.<ref>''[[Shadows & Light]]'', 56-57</ref>

*Though once considered close friends, it appears that Lor'themar and Halduron have had various disagreements since their ascension to the upper echelons of [[Quel'Thalas]]' leadership. Halduron, while not openly opposed to the [[Northrend]] campaign, does not seem to have agreed with Lor'themar's motivations for committing to it. During the quest to restore [[Quel'Delar]], Halduron urges agents of the Horde not to be taken in by the Regent Lord's "political scheming" -- a strange way to refer to one's best friend and direct superior. Despite this, he was quick to halt Vereesa's vocal lashing towards Lor'themar, perhaps implying the Ranger-General is forced to mediate between the two.
−
* "Raw power is no substitute for true strength, [[Illidan Stormrage|Illidan]]. ''That'' is why I chose [[Malfurion Stormrage|your brother]] over you."
  
  +
*It was stated that Lor'themar was second-in-command to [[Sylvanas Windrunner|Ranger General Sylvanas Windrunner]] during the second war, though Halduron himself was chosen to succeed the role after Sylvanas' downfall. As such, there appeared to be some skewed logic behind this reasoning, though with Lor'themar's ascension to Regent Lord of Quel'Thalas, this disconnect seems resolved.
−
* "Only the ''[[Elune|Goddess]]'' may forbid me anything. I will free Illidan whether [[Malfurion Stormrage|you]] like it or not."

==Thori'dal, the Stars' Fury==
−
=== In World of Warcraft ===
  
  +
Halduron's model update following [[Patch 4.1.0]] granted him a new bow, the legendary [[Thori'dal, the Stars' Fury]]. This is curious in that no NPC besides Brightwing has been seen with the largely enigmatic weapon, suggesting the Ranger-General himself is wielding Thori'dal. Considering its status as a legendary elven weapon, and Halduron's status as Quel'Thalas' Ranger General, this seems highly likely, thus making Halduron one of the two lore characters to wield an obtainable legendary weapon - along with [[Illidan Stormrage]]. Regardless, there is very little known about the bow itself and its origins.

  +
*Despite being the leader of the Farstriders, a blood elven group known for its icy attitude to outsiders (and often, a fierce hatred for [[trolls]]), Halduron is highly respectful to both his [[Darkspear]] allies, and Chieftain [[Vol'jin]].
−
*{{Patch 4.0.3a|note=Updated for level 85.}}
  
  +
*Though he is classified as a [[??]] (boss) type character, Halduron has a miniscule amount of [[mana]] proportional to his level. However, none of his abilities deplete his mana bar -- perhaps implying that he has an unseen [[focus]] resource.
−

  +
*Halduron is wearing the [[tier 5]] [[Rift Stalker Armor]] from the [[Burning Crusade]].
−
*{{Patch 2.0.1|note=Updated for level 70.}}
  
  +
*Halduron has been described as being a [[bloodthistle]] user; interestingly, with "practiced ease."<ref>[[In the Shadow of the Sun]]</ref>
−
*{{Patch 1.7.0|note=Racial "Leaders" have been strengthened, and are now worth slightly less honor.}}
  
  +
*There seems to be some slight disparity with Halduron's eye colour. His eyes in [[Sunfury Spire]] appear to be a slightly darker shade of jade than the typical blood elven green; not quite blue but visibly darker than the verdant green of most sin'dorei. It could be due to the darker lighting of the spire, though both [[Lor'themar]] and [[Rommath]] along with the [[Royal Guard|Royal Guards]] retain their perfect green glint within it. However, Halduron's appearances in the [[Sunwell]] and the [[Ghostlands]] portray him with perfect green eyes not dissimilar to his compatriots, suggesting that the former could have been a graphical oversight.

Biography

Second War

WoW-novel-logo-16x62 This section concerns content related to the Warcraft novels, novellas, or short stories.
Manga Halduron

Halduron Brightwing in the Sunwell trilogy.

Halduron, a high elven Farstrider, served his country faithfully as the Amani trolls - emboldened by their alliance with the Old Horde - attacked Quel'Thalas directly. Halduron, disguised as an elderly cloaked man leaning on a staff for support, was stalked by a troll named Ter'lij and his war-party. However, Halduron sheds his disguise and quickly turned the tables on his opponents, cutting them down with his longsword and impaling Ter'lij mid-air with a spear. He was approached by Alleria Windrunner, a friend of his, who had convinced King Anasterian to mobilize his forces against the invaders. She instructed him to join up with her sister, Ranger-General Sylvanas, and waylay the enemy forces in the forest. Halduron and his company swiftly departed, and joined up with his comrade Lor'themar Theron's ranger company too.[3]

Third War

During the Scourge invasion, Ranger General Sylvanas was slain by the merciless Prince Arthas, and a void was left -- leaving the high elven rangers without a leader. The Farstriders soon chose Halduron Brightwing as the new leader.[4] As he was a great ranger, he was promoted to Ranger-General of Silvermoon, and rules the rangers to this day.[5]

The Sunwell

Template:Graphic novel After Kael'thas Sunstrider renamed the high elven race "blood elves" in honor of their fallen brethren, he joined with the New Alliance to battle the Scourge threat running rampant throughout Lordaeron. Halduron and his old friend Lor'themar were instructed to remain behind in the shattered Quel'Thalas, and attempt to find a cure for their people, fresh from the Sunwell's destruction. Halduron and Lor'themar coordinated guerilla attacks against the Scourge remnants within Quel'Thalas, with varying success.

At some point, Dar'Khan Drathir pursued the current avatar of the Sunwell, a woman named Anveena Teague, to the elven homeland. Lor'themar and Halduron learned of this, and resolved to avenge the Sunwell's destruction by killing the treacherous Dar'Khan. In a conversation with Halduron, Lor'themar reveals that Dar'Khan had befriended him in order to use his knowledge of Quel'Thalas' defenses against their people, after he betrayed them to Arthas himself. Halduron ambushed Dar'Khan as he taunted Lor'themar about his role in their homeland's destruction, though both Halduron and Lor'themar were pushed back after Dar'Khan raised undead high elves against them.

Halduron later discovers the presence of none other than Sylvanas Windrunner, his predecessor, active in Quel'Thalas. He and Lor'themar find and take Kalecgos and his companions captive, though they ultimately join forces after Kalecgos reveals their plight and Tyrigosa reveals her dragon form. Halduron witnesses the apparent destruction of Dar'Khan at the hands of a reinvigorated Anveena.

Halduron also gained knowledge of Anveena's status as the Sunwell's mortal avatar, and she was put under the blood elves' protection at an undisclosed location in Quel'Thalas.

Burning Crusade

Bc icon This section concerns content related to The Burning Crusade.

Following Grand Magister Rommath's return and the reclamation of Quel'Thalas, Halduron ruled the Farstriders and served as the Ranger-General of Silvermoon. During this time, he was supportive of Lor'themar's decisions to keep the nation safe, such as allying with the Forsaken to protect the southern Ghostlands. Halduron was opposed to the creation of the Blood Knights, and indeed shared Warchief Thrall and High Chieftain Cairne's deep concerns about the maltreatment of M'uru, which led him into several arguments with Rommath, who himself was a strong supporter of the Blood Knights.

Halduron and Rommath would come to harsh words on many matters, though Halduron came to develop a respect and trust for his compatriot after Rommath remained loyal to Silvermoon following the devastating betrayal of Kael'thas.[6]

With the elven scion no more, Halduron urged the regent lord to take a more royal and prestigious role in Quel'Thalas, though Lor'themar was consistently opposed to this notion.

At some point following the reclamation of the Sunwell, Halduron obtained a legendary elven bow.

Shortly after the great betrayal of Kael'thas Sunstrider, Lor'themar receives numerous letters from one Archmage Aethas Sunreaver, desiring an audience. His pleas being ignored, Aethas finally simply announces his intention to visit Silvermoon City, a notion which Halduron takes mild amusement in.

As Halduron, Lor'themar and Rommath await Aethas' arrival, Halduron hands Lor'themar a tabard -- the royal Sunstrider seal across its chest. Lor'themar refuses to take it, noting that he is the Regent Lord, not the King -- to which Halduron replies that he may as well be.

Following Aethas and Rommath's strong disagreement regarding the Kirin Tor and Malygos, Lor'themar retires to his chambers. Halduron soon joins him, and the two old friends discuss what should be done. Halduron again references Lor'themar's attitude to that of a King's, though Lor'themar remains silent.

Several days later, Lor'themar prepares for his journey south of the Ghostlands, against Halduron's advice. Knowing that he can't stop him, Halduron settles for ensuring Lor'themar has an adequate escort.

Halduron, Rommath and Aethas later await Lor'themar's return, and Aethas briefly inquires about how his journey to the High Elf lodge went. Aethas also speaks of the disapproval the few quel'dorei within the Kirin Tor give the sin'dorei, and Halduron is visibly irritated at the mention of Vereesa's name.

Later that afternoon, Lor'themar informs Halduron of the full picture -- that the High Elves of Quel'Lithien had come under attack from Horde agents in the name of Nathanos Blightcaller, and that the quel'dorei of the lodge had outright declined any assistance from the sin'dorei. Halduron notes that it was to be expected, especially considering Lor'themar had banished them from Quel'Thalas prior. Lor'themar reasons that he could not lead a nation divided, and that at any rate, the killed rangers were as much Halduron's company as they were his.

Halduron briefly questions whether or not the Dark Lady would know of Nathanos' onslaught, though retracts the statement upon wondering whether or not she would even care.

Following Sylvanas' visit to Sunfury Spire, and Lor'themar's conflict with Rommath in regards to a war in Northrend, Halduron formally asks what the Regent Lord's orders are. Having resolved to commit to the war effort, Lor'themar instructs him to contact the Farstrider lodges, and inform them of what has been decided.

Halduron simply nods, and gives Lor'themar a glance he cannot quite read.

Wrath of the Lich King

Halduron plays a role in the quest to restore the legendary elven blade Quel'Delar, having travelled to the Isle of Quel'Danas to oversee and inspect the renewed Sunwell's defenses. He now controls access to the Sunwell, and learns of Myralion Sunblaze and Caladis Brightspear's quest to see the blade restored. Halduron is initially skeptical of whether the blade is truly ready to accept another owner, and reiterates the fate of the blade's original owner, Thalorien Dawnseeker, a valiant high elf who gave his life to buy the Sunwell's defenders time to prepare for the Scourge assault. Halduron sends heroes to his resting place, and allows them to enter the Sunwell once the spirit of Thalorien offers them his blessing.

For Horde agents, he urges them not to be intertwined in Lor'themar Theron and Grand Magister Rommath's political scheming within, and to instead remain focused on the task at hand.[7] For Alliance agents, Halduron warns them that they are guests in the most sacred place known to the people of Quel'Thalas, and to behave accordingly.[8]

Cataclysm

Cataclysm This section concerns content related to Cataclysm.

Halduron Brightwing makes an appearance on the outskirts of Zul'Aman, meeting with his Farstrider Troll Hunters, the Darkspear Chieftain Vol'jin, and Vereesa Windrunner. He is approached by a Silvermoon Messenger, who conveys Regent Lord Lor'themar's demand to know why Vereesa had entered their lands. Halduron reveals that many of his Farstriders are unavailable, and that he had personally invited Vereesa and her rangers to help address the new Zul'Aman threat. The messenger mentions that Lor'themar does not agree with the sentiment, and that Halduron has no authority to do so, though Halduron dismisses it as necessary -- his role as Quel'Thalas' ranger-general allowing him to seek aid wherever needed to keep his homeland safe.

Vol'jin explains that the Zandalari are seeking to create a new troll empire, reaching out to all of the troll tribes, including the Amani and his own Darkspear tribe -- the likes of which would be a grave threat if not immediately dealt with. Halduron and Vereesa resolve to join forces, their Farstriders and rangers lending aid to Vol'jin's plight.

Personality

Halduron Lor'themar Ghostlands

Lor'themar and Halduron in the Ghostlands.

Halduron Brightwing, as the leader of the Farstriders and the Ranger-general of Silvermoon, represents the side of Quel'Thalas typically associated with its high elven roots. Halduron is a natural ranger, a Quel'Thalas patriot, and a level-headed military leader, demonstrating none of the more sin'dorei supremacist views shared by many of his compatriots. He is more than willing to put typical elven prejudice aside, and is highly respectful to members of the wider Horde.

Halduron is close friends with the Regent Lord of Quel'Thalas, Lor'themar Theron, and the two have been closely allied since their early days as rangers. Halduron appears to be Lor'themar's primary confidant, and is a strong supporter of Lor'themar taking on a more prestigious role befitting the nation's leader - even giving him the Sunstrider royal colours to better convey this. Halduron has likened his attitude to that of a King's numerous times. Their friendship seems to have been somewhat strained, as Halduron was not particularly enthusiastic about Lor'themar's decision to commit to the Northrend war, and even warned members of the Horde not to be taken in by Lor'themar and Rommath's "political scheming."

Like Auric Sunchaser, Halduron does not appear to consider the divide between the sin'dorei and the quel'dorei to be particularly large, and both have referred to the race collectively as "children of Silvermoon." With most of his Farstriders away, Halduron was more than content with calling upon Vereesa Windrunner and her rangers to assist he and Vol'jin in dealing with the new Zandalari empire; his reasoning being simply that Vereesa knows the land as well as anyone. He again came into conflict with Lor'themar regarding this decision, though Halduron does silence Vereesa after she refers to the Regent Lord as a "coward."

As expected of Quel'Thalas' Ranger General, Halduron is a master of combat (both melee and ranged) and wields a variety of weapons, including spears, swords, daggers and bows, with effortless prowess.[9] He has been seen wielding a longspear in tandem with his longsword, using both of their strengths to dispose of larger groups of enemies.

Appearance

Halduron is described as a handsome-looking elf with narrow features, more often than not cloaked and with his bow and blades at his side.[10] During his battles in the Ghostlands, Halduron was draped in a mixture of cloth and mail; his bow nestled atop his cloak and his chest covered by a large sin'dorei phoenix emblem. His hair is long, blonde and slicked, parted at the front, and further parted into two large bangs for his debut in World of Warcraft.

His initial outfit in World of Warcraft was a simplified version of the Farstrider attire; green and yellow leather with two daggers and a bow. His model update for Patch 4.1.0 showed Halduron donning a more exquisite outfit - dark blue mails and shedding his humble bow for Inv weapon bow 39 [Thori'dal, the Stars' Fury].

Halduron also wears a unique headband unavailable to players, studded with an engraved bird emblem (presumably, a phoenix) extending its wings at its center.

Quotes

  • "Did you think we could not sense you befouling our forest? You are not welcome here, creature, and you will not be suffered to live."
  • "You are in charge, you know. There is no one else to take your place."
  • "I never approved of that business with M'uru, or the formation of the Blood Knights, no, but that is behind us now."
  • "I daresay you sound less like a ranger and more like a king every day, Lor'themar."
  • "By all means, you shouldn't be going at all. I thought for sure you'd give up this silly notion when Aethas decided to drop by. But I can see that nothing I could say will stop you, so you're at least going to take an escort. Don't argue."
  • "Funny, that. Sylvanas was always championing him. Kae- er, some... were not so keen on letting a human train with the Farstriders. Myself included."
  • "We always knew it was a risk to trust the Forsaken, but who else would fight for Quel'Thalas at all?"

Zul'Aman

Halduron Sunwell Sylvanas

Halduron concludes the tale of Ranger General Sylvanas' downfall, and his own elevation to the rank in her place.

Silvermoon Messenger says: I bring word from the Regent Lord of Silvermoon.
Silvermoon Messenger says: Lord Lor'themar demands an explanation for the presence of this... exile in our lands.
Vereesa Windrunner says: Quel'Thalas is as much my home as it is yours and I would not see it fall to our ancient enemy. Now, you tell your cowardly regent --
Halduron Brightwing says: Vereesa, please!
Halduron Brightwing says: She is here at my invitation, courier. Most of my Farstriders are away and cannot be recalled easily. Vereesa's rangers know the land and are experienced combatants.
Silvermoon Messenger says: Lord Lor'themar does not concur with your reasoning, ranger-general. You have no authority to invite this --
Halduron Brightwing says: I am the commander of Silvermoon's defenses and I will seek assistance as I deem necessary!
Halduron Brightwing says: Now, Chieftain Vol'jin, before we were so rudely interrupted, you were telling us of the Zandalari's plans.
Vol'jin says: Dat I was. Da Zandalari called a meeting 'o all da troll tribes includin' da Darkspears.
Vol'jin says: King Rastakhan, he be plannin' to unite da troll tribes under his Zandalari.
Vereesa Windrunner says: Including the Amani?
Vol'jin says: Da Amani, da Gurubashi, all 'o dem. He be dispatchin' emissaries to every tribe.
Halduron Bringwing says: My scouts have reported nothing but quiet outside Zul'Aman.
Vol'jin says: Dey be holed up inside da ruined city, regroupin'.
Vol'jin says: Rastakhan be callin' me his brother, but da Horde be our true brothers. We gotta stop him before he can sweet-talk the others into joinin' his empire.
Vereesa Windrunner says: So how are we going to deal with this alliance between the Amani and the Zandalari?
Halduron Brightwing says: We must prevent it from occurring in the first place.
Vol'jin says: Dat be da plan. My men be infiltratin' the city and learnin' what dey can about da new Zandalari warlord.
Vereesa Windrunner says: Halduron, we should combine our forces and make preperations to act on reports from the Darkspear scouts.
Halduron Brightwing says: Agreed. Messenger, you may carry word of our plans back to Lord Lor'themar, but make it clear that I will not tolerate any further interference.

Speculation

Questionmark-medium
This article or section includes speculation, observations or opinions possibly supported by lore or by Blizzard officials. It should not be taken as representing official lore.
  • Though once considered close friends, it appears that Lor'themar and Halduron have had various disagreements since their ascension to the upper echelons of Quel'Thalas' leadership. Halduron, while not openly opposed to the Northrend campaign, does not seem to have agreed with Lor'themar's motivations for committing to it. During the quest to restore Quel'Delar, Halduron urges agents of the Horde not to be taken in by the Regent Lord's "political scheming" -- a strange way to refer to one's best friend and direct superior. Despite this, he was quick to halt Vereesa's vocal lashing towards Lor'themar, perhaps implying the Ranger-General is forced to mediate between the two.
  • It was stated that Lor'themar was second-in-command to Ranger General Sylvanas Windrunner during the second war, though Halduron himself was chosen to succeed the role after Sylvanas' downfall. As such, there appeared to be some skewed logic behind this reasoning, though with Lor'themar's ascension to Regent Lord of Quel'Thalas, this disconnect seems resolved.

Thori'dal, the Stars' Fury

Halduron's model update following Patch 4.1.0 granted him a new bow, the legendary Inv weapon bow 39 [Thori'dal, the Stars' Fury]. This is curious in that no NPC besides Brightwing has been seen with the largely enigmatic weapon, suggesting the Ranger-General himself is wielding Thori'dal. Considering its status as a legendary elven weapon, and Halduron's status as Quel'Thalas' Ranger General, this seems highly likely, thus making Halduron one of the two lore characters to wield an obtainable legendary weapon - along with Illidan Stormrage. Regardless, there is very little known about the bow itself and its origins.

Trivia

  • Despite being the leader of the Farstriders, a blood elven group known for its icy attitude to outsiders (and often, a fierce hatred for trolls), Halduron is highly respectful to both his Darkspear allies, and Chieftain Vol'jin.
  • Though he is classified as a ?? (boss) type character, Halduron has a miniscule amount of mana proportional to his level. However, none of his abilities deplete his mana bar -- perhaps implying that he has an unseen focus resource.
  • Halduron is wearing the tier 5 Rift Stalker Armor from the Burning Crusade.
  • Halduron has been described as being a Inv misc herb 11 [Bloodthistle] user; interestingly, with "practiced ease."[11]
  • There seems to be some slight disparity with Halduron's eye colour. His eyes in Sunfury Spire appear to be a slightly darker shade of jade than the typical blood elven green; not quite blue but visibly darker than the verdant green of most sin'dorei. It could be due to the darker lighting of the spire, though both Lor'themar and Rommath along with the Royal Guards retain their perfect green glint within it. However, Halduron's appearances in the Sunwell and the Ghostlands portray him with perfect green eyes not dissimilar to his compatriots, suggesting that the former could have been a graphical oversight.
