Blood Elves In World of Warcraft

Truley one of the most popular computer games is Warcraft. Many incarnations of the game have come and gone over the past years. One of the most recent is called World of Warcraft (WOW). In this massive multi-player game, players are assigned the task of building and developing a character of a specific race to pit against the evil minions of the world around them.

An expansion game for world of warcraft is called Burning Crusade. Within it players can choose from a variety of races including the Blood Elves. With the Burning Crusade Blood Elves, players are take control of a long standing, proud army of stoic warriors.

The Blood Elves’ history is steeped in slaughter and much bloodshed, hence their name. Born of the High Elf kingdom, these noble creatures were once a powerful part of the now lost land of Sunwell. Then when the mad Prince Arthas invaded their land and resurrected the Lich Kel-Thuzad, Prince Arthas decimated their people, nearly destroying the whole entire race.

But not all were killed that day. The survivors were hardened by this harrowing experience and thus became a darker version of their former selves. Learning from one of the last remaining of the royal bloodline named Kael, they began descending into an even darker escapade of their history. They started tapping into the mystic energy of demonic origin and are now being shunned by most of their kin.

Much before this changing of their nature, the high elves were considered outcasts from the Alliance and left their original homeland in search of something else for themselves. Thus the dwelling in Sunwell arose.

They were determined to create a life for themselves, a new beginning they had hoped.

Their power and influence grew as they settled into their new homeland, drawing much power from the Sunwell’s mystical energies. They fed on this power, using it to develop their powers to defend themselves from many of the harsh inhabitants of the world around them.

But this hardship only strengthened those that had survived, making them the powerful Burning Crusade Blood Elves that they are today. This is an army worthy of commitment while playing the game of Warcraft. Theirs is a proud history and one that should be thought of with reverence and honor.

Blood Elves are a race that requires a bit more finesse than the hard changing orcs for example or the slowing but relentless undead. Use their powerful magic to your advantage. Whatever party you may join in this huge sprawling multi-player world will benefit from your skills.

There are many classes available to Blood Elf players. Choose one that fits your style of play as you will spend many hours in this world of warcraft: The Burning Crusade.
