Thori'dal, the Stars' Fury is the name of a legendary bow that drops from Kil'jaeden, who is the last boss of the Sunwell Plateau 25-man raid instance. The name Thori'dal was first seen in the 2.4 PTR patch notes.[1] This bow is currently the highest dps weapon in game, excluding wands.
The first bow was obtained by Stefang, a hunter from Last Resort on May 29th, 2008.[2]

Notes
Thori'dal generates magical arrows when the bow string is drawn, thus eliminating the need for the hunter to carry ammo. Attempting to add ammunition to the paper doll slot Thori'dal will not add extra DPS, and instead produces an error message "Ammo slot full." The high DPS of this bow is most likely the result of this lack of need for arrows since there will be no +damage added from such. The current top arrow is [Timeless Arrow] with a +53.0 bonus and this gives Thori'dal a comparative DPS of 109.8 - presumably. However, due to the nature of Steady Shot, this weapon vastly increases Hunter DPS, in spite of having comparable DPS to [Golden Bow of Quel'Thalas] with [Timeless Arrows].
Thori'dal also has a +15% attack speed effect not stacking with ammo quivers or pouches, allowing the hunter to carry a fifth normal bag.
Speculation
| 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! |
There has been some debate in the roleplaying community and generally with those interested in lore, about who this bow belonged to and what makes it a legendary quality item, beside the stats of course. Some believe it's the bow of Alleria Windrunner, judging by the model of the weapon which is highly reminiscent of High elven style, the yellow description it has and other loot Kil'Jaeden drops - among them is Coif of Alleria. It could also be a weapon of some forgotten Night Elf hero from the War of the Ancients, seeing as some other drops from the encounter date that far back.
So far the bow has no confirmed official lore behind it, but until then the above speculation is among the most likely explanations.
