Life and Death
Sale'tan Goldgaze was born sixty years before First War. Soon after reaching twenty years, he begun his studies as fire mage. He very quickly reached rank of accomplished sorceror and continued his studies under Voren'thal the Seer. Afterwards, he became one of master mages in high elven kingdom and advisor to the king. After fall of Quel'thalas, he followed Prince Kael'thas Sunstrider and helped him reclaim ruins of Dalaran. Later, he became part of Illidan's forces. He assisted conquest of Black Citadel, and afterwards followed Illidan to Northrend. That was were he saw his childhood friend Ziela die under effect of Death and Decay cast by lich Kryptikk Soulslayer. Enraged, he proceeded and along with spell breaker captain Thillean Emberscar killed the lich. As battle raged on, he was sent along with (living) High Priest Andorath to conquer small ziggurat of Scourge and set small forward base inside. Although they managed to break in, they were utterly exhausted by battle against swarm of ghouls. While they were able to fight off regular Scourge units, they were not suspecting attack from stronger foe. Ziela, ressurected as one of the first Darkfallen swept on back of frost wyrm and killed most of them. While Sale'tan saw that there was some undead warrior on back of dead wyrm, he did not knew true identity of rider. When Ziela landed, he was paralyzed by dread and Ziela pierced his heart.
