Lore

Warcraft Wiki icon.pngThis section uses content from the Warcraft Wiki.
Tyrande Whisperwind (pronounced teh-rahn-dah) is the chosen high priestess of the goddess Elune, the former general of the night elf Sentinels and the current head of the Sisterhood of Elune. Together with her lifelong mate, the archdruid  Malfurion Stormrage, she has represented the highest leadership of the night elves since the fall of  Queen Azshara and the Highborne caste ten thousand years ago. Since the middle of the Fourth War, Tyrande is also the current incarnation of the Night Warrior, the embodiment of Elune's wrath.
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.

Official overview

High Priestess Tyrande Whisperwind has been a fierce protector of her people for millennia. Her wisdom is legend—she has seen kingdoms rise and fall, and she has faced every threat to Azeroth for thousands of years. She is the chosen of the goddess Elune, and under her leadership the Night Elves have survived and prevailed throughout history. Whether defeating demonic incursions, managing difficult relationships, or providing wise council to Azeroth’s greatest leaders, Tyrande always knows the right play.[3]

Trivia

  • Tyrande and her husband  Malfurion Stormrage have special opening remarks when playing against each other.
  •  Fandral Staghelm has a special summoning quote when playing against Tyrande: You would lead our people to ruin!
  • The release of Tyrande was celebrated with a special "Hearthstone Priest Extravaganza", a month-long mini-event featuring 8 priest-themed Hearthstone streams.
  • Many players and fans had been wanting the Tyrande hero skin for years after Tyrande was last available in early 2017. In April 2019, in a Q&A session with Team 5, it was announced that Tyrande would be made available again at the end of the year.[4] In November, principal game designer Mike Donais posted on social media that Tyrande would be made available in December.[5]
  • The following emotes were added with the introduction of the hero, but removed with the subsequent Patch 6.2.0.15181. All appear to correspond to upcoming events or features, and are not listed for other heroes, with the exception of "good game":
