The blood elves (or sin’dorei, “children of the blood” in Thalassian) are high elves who changed their name after the Scourge invasion of Quel’Thalas. Their new name is a dirge, referencing both the blood of their many brethren who fell during the Third War, and their royal lineage.
For nearly 7,000 years, high elven society centered on the sacred Sunwell, a magical fount that was created using a vial of pure arcane energy from the first Well of Eternity. Nourished and strengthened by the Sunwell’s potent energies, the high elves’ enchanted kingdom of Quel’Thalas prospered within the verdant forests north of Lordaeron. During the Third War, however, the high elves were nearly scoured from Azeroth. Led by the death knight Arthas, a Scourge army stormed into Quel’Thalas, slaughtering almost ninety percent of the kingdom’s population. Arthas then used the mystical Sunwell to resurrect the fallen necromancer Kel’Thuzad, irrevocably tainting the fount in the process. Prince Kael’thas Sunstrider rushed to his homeland’s aid, and the survivors of the onslaught were renamed the “blood elves” in honor of their fallen people. The tainted Sunwell was destroyed, but the elves had grown addicted to its energies over the years and were left weakened and despondent without them. Kael’thas assured his brethren that he would find them a cure, and left Quel’Thalas in the hands of his regent, Lor’themar Theron, while he traveled to avenge his people and find a way to sate their hunger for magic.
The blood elves strove to rebuild Quel’Thalas and reclaimed much of their land from the Scourge. Kael’thas had assured his people that one day he would return to Quel’Thalas and lead them to paradise, yet time revealed that his promises were nothing more than lies. On Outland, the prince became twisted due to his reliance on fel energy, the dark and corrupting essence wielded by the demonic Burning Legion itself. Unbeknownst to his ally, Illidan Stormrage, Kael’thas also came under the sway of the Legion’s commander, Kil’jaeden. The prince ultimately returned to Quel’Thalas, seeking to usher his new master into Azeroth through the defiled Sunwell, though was killed for his treachery before his cataclysmic ambitions could be fulfilled. The draenei prophet, Velen, then used the essence of a darkened naaru to restore the Sunwell as a fount of both arcane and holy energy.

I was only 3 when this game came out. Growing up with my grandma, dad and uncle in the same house with my first memories of them raiding in black temple. This soundtrack has stuck with me since I was a kid now I’m 21. I can’t wait for wrath classic
It reminds me of things I've never lived, places I recall that I've never been… It's weird to think about that. I can recall things like me and my friends sitting on the benches of Sunstrider Isle drinking something and feeling the wet and warm weather hitting our faces, while watching the sunset far away in the horizon. I can't even explain exactly what it feels. It makes me feel like 17 again, and I'm 31 rn. Thank you for this video.
Love these. I turn them on when I need to sleep. Helps my insomnia so much! Your a hero
Oh that feeling of making a Blood Elf Paladin and running around completing quest and fighting your way down into the undead area to meet knucklerot and Luzran!!! Memories!!!
38:00 how did you do these shots if you don't mind me asking. I'm just wondering since you can't fly in that zone
Who composed this music? What a genius . And most likely someone who didn’t know too much about WoW. Probably was given a quick rundown of blood elf culture and told to make a song out of it, and they knocked the shit out of the park.
Never played original TBC and was letdown by the gameplay when it came out in Classic, but I can't deny how good the music and art is.
Anu belore dela'na, Selama ashal'anore
Are there any plans for a Draenei video? I looked, but couldn't find one by the great Meisio
Thank you so much for this!
I still remember my adventures with my blood elf paladin.. sigh what a journey..
Did I just hear a quack at 24:23 😂
Bal'a dash, malanore. Glory to the Sin'dorei.
Thank you, thinking about playing again, trying to solo some of the old dungeons
Listening to this while melting into my couch, realising how perfectly the ambient music binds everything together in this video. Outstanding work ❤
Lovely environs!
Lots of pleasant hours passed in Eversong… 😊❤
Your videos are brilliant! Thank you very much for putting such good work for us
I DON'T KNOW BUT I THINK THE CREATIVITY IS ENDED AFTER 2010
Been listening to this for a couple years, I never realized how GORGEOUS that first panorama shot is.
salama ashal'anore
Priest blood elf: Sin' Dorei for life 🫡.
Thanks man, good job. :-)) Amazing sountrack and I just don´t have to play it, because i played MOSTLY because of muzic. :-))
14:18 hear wrenching nostalgia
The Blood Elf music is masterful. I love all the Warcraft music, but don’t think any other music in Warcraft captures the full scope and aesthetic of a narrative the way this music does for the story of the Blood Elves. You can follow their entire narrative arc from Warcraft 3 to the end of TBC in the way the music evolves and changes.
Wow this takes me back. Way simpler times. Still in highschool, so I'm probably 16 years old, maybe 17. I decide to finally level a blood elf after only being an Alliance player. I decide to make a blood elf paladin. I load in and am immediately met with the music and ambience of the zone… I'd take my laptop over to my friends to have a hangout and sleepover and we'd just both be playing WoW, doing different things. I remember how beautiful this zone was and I loved what the NPC's would say to you when spoken too lol. I'm 30 now almost 31, and I still play. But I don't think I'll ever be able to recreate THAT feeling again. Everything is different now. Good or bad it doesn't matter. I miss the simple days. Just going to school, coming home and logging on to see what was happening.
