= The history of Unkown Stormrage =

The exact date was lost since those who could track it were Elves, and Elves don't really care about time. But it happened long ago, nearly after the end of the Second War, when a young Elf named Ulua Whisperwind was traveling without authorization in Human territories. She found a young Human baby abandoned in a crib crying his lungs out due to hunger and despair. She approached the boy and she went to pull the sheet aside in order to see his face, whilst doing so she touched his forhead and was invaded by an Emerald Vision, it took her a long time to wake up, 6, maybe 7 hours for she was young and inexperienced. She had now idea how to absorb an Emerald Vision, let alone interpret one. Carefully she picked the boy up, still plagued by loose pieces of the vision. The vision piece vanished as soon as it apeared, and she made haste to return to her mother's territories with the baby safely held in her young arms.

The Burden of Destiny
Although Priestess Tyrande was already enraged by being defied with such insolence by such a young brat as Ulua, but she remained in an icy stance that prevented anyone from reading any emotions from her. When Ulua barged into the Palace Hall, still breathing heavilly from running along way, without any respect towards the Elvish etiquette, she had an outburst of rage and shouted loudly with her child, making even the tough Elf Warriors who guarded the Palace Hall doors tremble. After a long speech about rules and etiquette and Elfish behaviour, she noticed the sheets in the arms of her daughter and went silent... Silence however did not fill the room as Unkown's cries already were bursting loudly. The princess explained to her mother the predicament the baby was in when she found him ('forgetting' to tell her where she found him), and told her tale about the Emerald Vision she had when she touched the baby's forhead, how she came to pass away and was unable to fully recall more than that glimpse.

The Priestess rapidly recovered from her outburst and regained her usual icy stance, but this time she had a small concerned frowned, for an Emerald Vision is something very powerfull, and very rare that usually only the most powerfull druids have, or only beings that are strongly scarred by Destiny himself can trigger. Neither of those events had happened for millenia.... A strategy had to be devised as how the Elves should deal with such a situation, and specially what they should do with the baby. Temporary quarters and a nanny were arranged while the Cenarion Circle was informed of this, and most importantly Malfurion Stormrage had to be awakened from his Emerald Dream.

The Council Deliberation
Many nights passed while the Druids and the High Priestess discussed the case of the abandoned Human before they reached a decision. All of those attending the meeting were asked to touch the childs forhead to try and trigger another Emerald Vision. But although they all tried, none really could replicate the event described by Ulua. Concerned they were, was it possible that Ulua had lied? That was an unheard behaviour for an Elf, specially the daughter of the High Priestess, and it was also quickly dismissed by Malfurion since he sensed no deception from the young Elf. So what could have happened to make such a young Elf be honoured with an Emerald Vision, something that every Druid trained for hundreds of years to be able to achieve. She was barely 25 years old, and her druid training haven't even started, she was still only training with basic weapons, how could this be?

The council reached a consensous after the 67th moon, the child had been marked by Destiny, but that mark was shared with Ulua in some way. All the Druids could see the mystic aura surrounding the young boy, although only Malfurion could see it clearly as a mark of Destiny, his word was not to be questioned. The Emerald Dream awaited for Malfurion Stormrage and he needed to return there fast, so he made haste and left, leaving the details of the decision to be taken by his wife Tyrande Whisperwind High Priestess of Elune and ruler of the Elves.

Tyrande's Decisions
The Priestess was by far more tender than she ever let another Elf know, she decided to adopt the young Human herself and train him to be a warrior as most of his kind, although she also decided it would be best to magically connect him to the Well of Eternity and substantially extend his lifetime, shielding him from aging factors and allowing him to live for thousands of years. She was now faced with the difficult choice of giving the Human boy a name, but after much deliberation with Ulua she decided to name him using an old Human dialect, probably obsolete by now, and issued him the Human name of Unkown that meant Valiant/Brave/Shield Of Bravery, with his surname being the one of who she loved and respected the most Malfurion Stormrage, hence his name was formed as Unkown Stormrage. She hoped these blessings pronounced in the old Elfish language would magically help him fulfill his potential, binding him to the values his name represented.

The Orc Raised Human called Bloodwraith Chup'Aki
After the Dragon revolution against the Dragonmaw Clan, some other Orcish clans suffered the anger of the Red Dragons, one of them was the Storming Blade Clan. In one of their last bastions lied an important Elfish artifact and Unkown Stormrage and Ulua Whisperwind where ordered to retrieve it as the final test of their warrior training. After the fight of Grim Batol for that artifact, Unkown met Bloodwraith in the field of battle, after nearly killing

The Third War
Priestess Tyrande was very careful and hid every event happening on the Eastern Kingdoms from Ulua and Unkown, so that time went by them without any of them realizing the peril they were in, so they spent most of their time training and studying together. When by chance they had some free time, they would go and explore the beautifull sites near the river, and they played together, they grew to be best friends, and their loyalty for each other was second to no other... One day a message arrived in the Palace, brought by a Human. Unkown accidentally crossed him in the hallways, and was stunned... He never had seen another Human! He approached the man, and heard all about the problems that the Eastern Kingdoms faced, the impending war, and the invasion by the Burning Legion. Promptly after the man was admited to the Palace Hall for his audience with the Priestess, Unkown was also summoned. Apparently his services were needed in Human lands, he was to head to the city of Stormwind in the Eastern Kingdoms accompanied by Ulua, Bloodwraith and the Human courier he had met earlier. His life was about to change, a new chapter would begin...

The Royal Knights
Upon arrival in Stormwind he was secretly led to the presence of King Varian Wrynn, were he was faced with a new challenge, the leadership of the Royal Knights, that elite unit that was trusted to impose the King's Law and enforce Peace throughout the Eastern Kingdoms. Although some would see it as a heavy burden to be sustained by such a inexperienced warrior, Unkown accepted the task with serenity, he felt strangely at ease with the situation like he had been born to do this job. His first order of business was to nominate his seconds in command and define a full hierarchy, so he decided his seconds would have the military rank of Field Marshall's, and that rank would be filled by Bloodwraith, Ulua and by imposition of King Varian Wrynn one of his Paladins, and one of his most trusted advisors Teutonicus. Teutonicus rapidly proved his valour before Unkown Stormrage and their friendship flourished... And so, the Royal Knights were born...
