Adrandis the Lightbearer
Adrandis was one of the Hero's in the war against the Scourge. He was a young paladin and just of age to become a warrior and was beginning to learn the path of the light. He finally became a Blood Knight of Silvermoon about 10 years of training and was on his first mission.

The Patrol
During Adrandis first mission he was assigned to patrol the eastern rodes of the Eversong forest and was followed by about 10 other soldiers. This patrol was just a simple check to make sure no Scourge were abound the Sacred forest of Quel'thalas. The patrol was normal as they rode on their striders for about 6 hours until something came into the ears of the Blood Elvs.. The village of Tranquillian was under siege! The leading officer of the patrol ordered a scout to observe the scene. As they watch the scout start trotting forward they saw a Frostwyrm, followed by horde after hordes of gargoyles and other terrors of the sky. The commanding officer then, immediatly sent a messenger to Silvermoon to warn King Anasterian, of this Invasion force.

Silvermoon
About and hour later they reached the gates of Silvermoon, as they had also noticed the walls were lined with archers. As one pointed to the distance, nobody could here what he said. Suddenly the forces stood dead still.. A Fearsome roar enduced the forces as the Elf finally shouted FROSTWYRMS!!! The archers strung back their arrows and the Ballistae were loaded. The commander shouted FIRE! The marksmen hit about 3 targets felling them as 3 more took their place. The ballistae fired missing their targets. The Frostwyrm finally reached the gates... The mighty dragons unleashed a Chilling blast freezing about 100 archers. Then something strange happened.. A foggy mist drew about as the skys dropped tears of sorrow. A scout sprinted up to Adrandis as the squad looked speechless at the surroundings happened. The scout took and deep breath and puffed out a few sentances telling about an approaching army of Scourge. The few warriors could not believe their ears as to what just happened. The officer stated, How could their be such an army, they just took out a fourth of our archers! Immediatly, Adrandis shouted to the gatekeeper to unleash the gates so that the armies of Silvermoon could prepare for a grounded defensive..

A steel hardened defense
The ground shook as the armies of Silvermoon rushed out knowing that the battle would begin soon. An hour earlier the frostwyrms were finished off and more archers took the dead's place. The laborors also came out and quickly constructed a few stone buildings in which the elvs could garrison to protect a few of them. They also set up ballistae on top of them. Adrandis put on a heavy armor suit and pulled a sword his father gave him that was enchanted with some of the water from the Sunwell. Its started to rain and they could barely see a mile in front of them.

The Battle for Quel'thalas
A sentry saw a figure in the distance that was slowly walking towards the front line. 2 minutes later more of these figures showed up then 10 then 100 then 1000! The soldiers had a gut feeling about what they were... the Scourge. Adrandis ordered the archers to ready themselves and told a small legion of cavalry to be ready to flank the force in order to small the numbers. Adrandis saw something fly through the air, suddenly hitting a battlement. Adrandis went to obseve.. it was a High Elf corpse. Then after that the Scourge let out a battle cry and started the charge making it about half way around the field the archers let loose a barrage of flaming arrows the set the ground including some of the Scourge on fire. The front line of the scourge had fallen but thousands more continued down the field, wave after wave. The Scourge was annoyed and then sent down a flesh giant to smash the defenders. It destroyed 2 battlements before it hit the ground and the elvs took many casulaties. The Scourges numbers thinned and so, Adrandis led the charge of a counter attack and as they charge down the field their dragonhawk destroyers flew over as the cavalry flank the remaining Scourge. As they reach over the hill, Adrandis lost his breath.. He saw a dreaded sight, about 10,000 Scourge stood at the ready and charge them as the Elves took their faith and charge at them. The two armies clashed as they both took many casualties except the Scourges Necromancers raised more bodies from the dead to serve the Lich King. The Elve fought on thinking they might win except when the Lich King arrived..

Arthas Arrives
Adrandis with the few band of soldiers formed a circle in hope to lessen the amount of Scourge fought each time. They fought on for hours losing many of friends and soldiers. Adrandis said under his breath "I sense a great evil is near". He looked to the right and their stood the figure of fear, Arthas. Arthas was swiping off all of the remaining soldiers with the legendary blade, Frostmourne. Adrandis started fighting with all of his might, while casting his holy fire on the Scourge killing hundreds, one after the other until all went silent. He stood up and saw Arthas staring down at him. Adrandis quickly went to end the war and save his people but Arthas froze his legs in place. You have fought my unstoppable army for long young paladin but you cannot stop the Scourge, you cannot stop me" Adrandis shot a bolt of light at Arthas impacting his chest, Arthas kneeled in pain." You will pay for this defiance Adrandis"stated Arthas."You may destroy me and my soldiers but you will never defeat our will to do what is right" Adrandis retorted." You speak words of hope but nothing will save you now". Arthas then stabbed Adrandis killing him. Then he fed his soul to Frostmourne."You now will serve me for Eternity foolish Elf". Quickly, Arthas raised the corpse from the dead, greeting his new commander."You will serve me in my quest forever". Watching as the Scourge marched to Silvermoon, litte stood in the way for defeat. Adrandis soulessly watching the battle end stated " Nothing can stop us for I now serve my master. The Lich King.

This is the story of my life. -Written by Adrandis from US server Silvermoon
