Alleria Windrunner is the eldest of the [[Windrunner]] sisters, all of whom have served [[Quel'Thalas]] and the Alliance with distinction. She also had a younger brother. Alleria always wore a necklace given to her by her parents, an exquisite piece containing an emerald, a ruby, and a sapphire.<ref>{{ref book |author= Rosenberg, Aaron |authorlink= Aaron Rosenberg |coauthors= [[Christie Golden]] |title= [[Beyond the Dark Portal]] |isbn= 978-1-4165-5086-0 |pages=199}}</ref>

When the [[Horde]] invaded [[Lordaeron]], [[Anduin Lothar]] called upon the ancient debt the [[Sunstrider]]s owed the [[Arathi]] bloodline. The ruling council of Quel'Thalas, seeing the Horde as more of an excuse to fulfill that debt than an actual threat, sent a small force of elves to assist the [[Alliance of Lordaeron]]. Alleria was one of the few in Quel'Thalas who believed that the [[Horde]] might pose a threat to the elves, and consequently chose to lead her rangers to [[Southshore]] to join the [[Alliance of Lordaeron]], despite not being ordered to do so.<ref>{{ref book |author= Rosenberg, Aaron |authorlink= Aaron Rosenberg |title= [[Tides of Darkness]] |isbn= 978-1-4165-3990-2 |pages=118}}</ref>
 
 
Alleria worked closely with [[Turalyon]] and [[Khadgar]] in the campaign to expel the [[orc]]s from Lordaeron. Upon learning that the Horde burned the borderlands of Quel'thalas, Alleria led the Alliance army to the defense of [[Silvermoon]], briefly reuniting her with her sister [[Sylvanas]] and comrade [[Lor'Themar Theron]]. Though they were successful in repelling the Horde invasion, it came at a terrible cost: eighteen of her kin, including her younger brother, [[Lirath]], were killed. Devastated, Alleria sought comfort in the arms of Turalyon, but ultimately, she chose to dedicate herself to revenge.
 
[[File:Alleria in Beyond the Dark Portal manual.jpg|thumb|right|Alleria in Warcraft II manual.]]
 
To the horror of her friends, Alleria came to see the orcs as little more than vermin to be exterminated.{{Citation needed}}<!-- Cited as BtDP - but what page? --> Alleria hunted down the [[Bleeding Hollow Clan]] who had so far escaped capture. When the orcs rallied behind [[Ner'zhul]] and the death knights, Alleria agreed to lead her rangers beyond the Dark Portal into Draenor to exact vengeance for Quel'Thalas and stop the Horde once and for all. Before she left, she had her necklace melted down into three pieces.<ref>{{ref book |author= Rosenberg, Aaron |authorlink= Aaron Rosenberg |coauthors= [[Christie Golden]] |title= [[Beyond the Dark Portal]] |isbn= 978-1-4165-5086-0 |pages=198}}</ref> She kept the emerald for herself and sent the ruby to Vereesa and [[The Lady's Necklace|the sapphire]] to Sylvanas, using [[Verana]], her lieutenant, as the emissary.
 
 
On Draenor, Alleria realized that there was more to the [[Alliance Expedition]]'s struggle than her quest for vengeance. The final event that caused her to let go her hate and mourn for her loved ones was when Turaylon ordered her to stay back. Alleria found that she could not let go of the young human to his death and rekindled her relationship with [[Turalyon]], much to the relief of their friends.<ref>{{ref book |author= Rosenberg, Aaron |authorlink= Aaron Rosenberg |coauthors= [[Christie Golden]] |title= [[Beyond the Dark Portal]] |isbn= 978-1-4165-5086-0 |pages=247}} Following the fall of Hellfire Citadel, Alleria sent most of her forces with [[Danath Trollbane]], [[Thalressar]] and [[Kurdran Wildhammer]] to pursue Ner'zhul, but herself accompanied Khadgar and Turalyon to retrieve the [[Skull of Gul'dan]] from [[Deathwing]]. She later aided in defending Khadgar when he finally closed the last Dark Portal to Azeroth, after which Draenor itself was sundered in a fiery cataclysm, sacrificing her way home. Alleria, along with her surviving allies, leapt into the [[Twisting Nether]] to avoid dying with Draenor.<ref>{{ref book |author=Arthaus |title=[[Shadows & Light]] |isbn=9781588469731 |pages=57,58}}</ref></ref>
 
 
After the damage that changed Draenor into Outland had been done, Alleria, [[Turalyon]], [[Khadgar]] and the rest all returned to the orcs' homeworld. They set out to return to Honor Hold, which was still standing even after the chaos that had occurred on Draenor. However, although Khadgar, [[Danath Trollbane]], and a few other heroes from this time are present in Outland, and players may interact with them, neither Alleria nor Turaylon are anywhere to be found, leaving their current whereabouts a mystery.
 
 
==In World of Warcraft==
 
{{Wow-section}}
 
Alleria's status and whereabouts are unknown, as told by [[Danath Trollbane]] to her son [[Arator the Redeemer]], and she has yet to appear in World of Warcraft. However quite a few references to the legendary ranger can be found.
 
 
* An Alliance stronghold in [[Outland]] bears her name, the [[Allerian Stronghold]].
 
 
* Horde players visiting [[Windrunner Spire]] in the [[Ghostlands]] can locate {{item|The Lady's Necklace|a necklace}} intended for her sister [[Sylvanas]]. The Dark Lady rages in fury at the messenger, but succumbs to her memories (see [[Lament of the Highborne]]).
 
 
* In Dalaran one can find {{item|Alleria's Silver Coin}}, which reads, "May my sisters realize their full potential, the name Windrunner known as result of their deeds." She is also referred to on {{item|Khadgar's Silver Coin}} which reads, "[[Turalyon]] and Alleria, wherever you are, may you be well."
 
 
==Personality==
 
{{RPG-section}}
 
Alleria is a superb forest fighter who prefers solitude and travels with others only when forced to do so. She speaks infrequently and only in short sentences. She shows passion only where orcs are concerned, hunting them ruthlessly and without mercy.<ref name="ReferenceA">{{ref book |author=Arthaus |title=[[Shadows & Light]] |isbn=9781588469731 |pages=58}}</ref> However, much of this personality dissolved when she rekindled her relationship with Turalyon. {{Citation needed}}<!-- Cited as BtDP - but what page? -->
 
 
In battle Alleria travels in forests whenever possible and prefers to strike from hiding — especially when attacking orcs, who she believes have no honor and therefore can be killed in any way she sees fit. In battle, she uses her great speed and mobility to weave in and out of the fight, taking point blank shots with maximum efficiency. If forced into melee in a situation where she absolutely cannot fire her bow, she swings it as a quarterstaff. She wields no other weapons — Alleria's special composite bow was her father's, and she employs it exclusively.<ref name="ReferenceA"/> She is also known to wield a sword with great skill.<ref>{{ref book |author= Rosenberg, Aaron |authorlink= Aaron Rosenberg |title= [[Tides of Darkness]] |isbn= 978-1-4165-3990-2 |pages=200,220}}</ref>
 
 
==Quotes==
 
*"There is no problem. The Alliance wants every orc dead. So do I. We can work together on that."
 
*"You never touch the other elves like that."
 
*"Do that again and you'll pull back a stump."
 
*"I can't stay behind. Don't ask me to. I stayed behind the last time. I won't watch [[Turalyon|someone I love]] go to his death while I..." (Jumps into Turalyon's arms.)
