History

A peerless hunter by moonlight and the chosen of the goddess Elune, Tyrande has led the night elves in war for ages. Tyrande was born thousands of years ago and grew up in the company of Malfurion and Illidan Stormrage. She answered the call of the Sisters of Elune, followers of the night elves' Goddess of the Moon, and became a novice priestess, while the Stormrage brothers followed different paths. Their destinies merged anew when the Burning Legion arrived on Azeroth.

Tyrande and Malfurion grew close and battled against the invading demons together, but Illidan pursued a darker path, feigning allegiance to the Burning Legion and succumbing to the temptations of power. After the defeat of the Legion and the Sundering, Tyrande and Malfurion helped rebuild elven society; Illidan was imprisoned beneath Mount Hyjal.

The couple could not remain together for long; soon after the night elves settled near Mount Hyjal, Malfurion and the other night elf druids were needed in the Emerald Dream. While Malfurion slept in the Dream, Tyrande commanded her people, forming the Sentinels – the night elven army – to guard their lands and allies.

During the Third War, Tyrande sent her Sentinels to deter the advances of the Horde in Kalimdor, but ultimately ended up working with them to battle the armies of the Burning Legion, an effort that also forced her to awaken the druids, including Malfurion, from the Emerald Dream. Their time together was cut short when the elder Stormrage suffered from the corruption of the Dream, but Tyrande joined her lover to defeat the menace, and they both returned to Azeroth, where they protected their people (and the other races of the Alliance) from the destruction caused by Deathwing and the advances of Garrosh Hellscream in Kalimdor.

These are the voice over quotes repeated by Tyrande Whisperwind when the player clicks on her multiple times. Here is a transcript courtesy of Cemotucu.

"The Goddess calls."

"Anu therador mali. Do not presume that just because I'm a priestess my fury has been checked."

"Here, hold this apple for a moment... Alright, now put it on your head. Perfect."

"It's been a while since I used this bow. Would you hold this apple for a moment? I'm a little out of practice."

"This is my owl. There are many like it, but this one reveals foes."

"I'm celebrating my 29th birthday next week... for the 8th thousand time."

"You know, when women run things in Kalimdor we experienced an era of peace, THEN the men woke up and now we face a new war every other year."

"[Doorbell rings] Greetings, my name is Tyrande and this is Shandris. Do you have some spare time to talk about Elune?"

"What the...? How long have this leaves being in my hear?"

"I am High Priestess Tyrande, Champion of Justice. In the name of Elune, I'll punish you!"

"Goddess, make me fast and accurate. Let my aim be true, and if today you call me home. Let me die with an empty quiver. I could use another millennium or two of guild time."

"Malfurion and I have one rule that defines our relationship: NO shapeshifting. I'm not into that."
