"Not everyone sleeps during the night. Under the light of the moon, I truly shine, for the goddess Elune grants me strength and her power shields me from harm. I am High Priestess Tyrande Whisperwind. Those who dare harm my people will not live to see the sunrise!"[1]
In the years prior to the Burning Legion's first invasion, Tyrande was the object of both Malfurion and his brother Illidan's affections. In the end, the priestess chose the druid over the sorcerer. After playing a pivotal role in the War of the Ancients, Tyrande was promoted to General of the Sentinels and would protect Kalimdor for over 10,000 years during the Long Vigil, while her lover and the druids slept in the Emerald Dream. Tyrande and Malfurion then led the night elves in the Third War, defeating the Burning Legion as they had done in ages past at the Battle of Mount Hyjal. She subsequently stepped down as general, handing the reins to her adoptive daughter Shandris Feathermoon, to devote herself fully as the leader of her people.
After Malfurion had become trapped within the Emerald Dream for a prolonged period of time, Tyrande journeyed into the dream to rescue him. In the wake of the Shattering, Tyrande and Malfurion were wed and began to lead their people as one. Together they supported the worgen of Gilneas in their return into the Alliance. Tyrande also restored complete night elf control over Ashenvale as a result of the Alliance-Horde war. However, following the burning of Teldrassil, Tyrande became the Night Warrior in response to the Horde's invasion of night elven territory and to claim justice against Sylvanas Windrunner and the Horde.
After killing Nathanos Blightcaller, Tyrande pursued Sylvanas into the Shadowlands. Though she eventually caught her quarry, Elune interfered at the last second, and the Night Warrior's powers became nearly fatal to Tyrande. In the end, Tyrande chose peace over vengeance, saving herself, and instead sentenced Sylvanas to atone for her crimes by collecting the souls of the night elves who had died because of her. Years later, Tyrande helped to restore Ysera to life, which came at the expense of her husband taking the Green Aspect's place in the Shadowlands, in order to help the Dragon Aspects defeat the Primal Incarnates. Following the defeat of Fyrakk and the blooming of Amirdrassil, Malfurion and Tyrande reunited and chose to step aside, leaving the leadership of the kaldorei to their adopted daughter, Shandris.
Tyrande serves as one of the main protagonists in the Warcraft franchise.
