-==Biography==
-[[File:Manga_Halduron.jpg|thumb|Halduron Brightwing in the Sunwell trilogy.]]
-Halduron served under the [[Alliance of Lordaeron]] during the [[Second War]] against the [[Horde]].<ref>[[Tides of Darkness]], pg. 211.</ref> Before the [[Third War]], [[Sylvanas Windrunner]] was the [[Ranger-General of Silvermoon]], the highest authority amongst the Farstriders. During the [[Scourge]] invasion, she 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==
-{{novel-section}}
-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 were at first reluctant to assist [[Kalecgos]] and his companions, and contemplated taking them prisoner at a time -- though the blood elves would ultimately ally with the blue dragon to rescue Anveena and defeat Dar'Khan.
-Halduron gained knowledge of Anveena's status as the Sunwell's mortal avatar, and she was put under the blood elves' protection.
-==Burning Crusade==
-{{bc-section}}
-Following [[Grand Magister Rommath]]'s return and the reclamation of Quel'Thlas, Halduron ruled the [[Farstriders]] and served as the ranger-general of [[Silvermoon]]. Like his compatriots, he was shocked by the sudden betrayal of the maddened Kael'thas.
-==In the Shadow of the Sun==
-{{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.
-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 [[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.
-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.
-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==
-{{wotlk-section}}
-Halduron plays a minor role in the [[Quel'delar]] questline, having briefly relocated to oversee and inspect the renewed [[Sunwell]]'s defenses. He allows the player to enter once the spirit of [[Thalorien Dawnseeker]] offers his blessing. For [[Horde]] players, he urges them not to be intertwined in [[Lor'themar Theron]] and [[Grand Magister Rommath]]'s political scheming within.
-==Cataclysm==
-{{Cata-section}}
-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.

-==Speculation==
-{{Speculation}}
-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. Recently, Halduron seems to have become more vocally frustrated with Lor'themar's attitude -- specifically, in regards to Vereesa Windrunner. Halduron's harsh exchange with Lor'themar's courier may allude to deeper friction between the two.
-===Thori'dal?===
-Halduron's model update following [[Patch 4.1.0]] granted him a new bow, sharing an identical model with the legendary [[Thori'dal, the Stars' Fury]]. This is curious in that no NPC besides Brightwing has been seen with this weapon model, begging the question of whether the Ranger-General himself is wielding Thori'dal.

-==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.
