Early Life

Born into a family of Warlocks, Tyriana, being the youngest of three, was held in high regard. Her parents, the then Matriarch Loriel Darkstrider and her husband Naomhan, treated their youngest daughter so well that their other two children detested Tyriana. They believed so strongly that she would be the one of their bloodline to restore its honor and respect.

Tyriana was not concerned with fighting or even the dark arts that came with being a Darkstrider, more over, she tended to be more playful than her older siblings. Andalia and Kel'Raven, Tyriana's brother and sister, did not like the extra attention that their little sister recieved. It soon became aparent that Andalia was a warlock protege, being capable of summoning a demonic imp at a young age. Kel'Raven was equally gifted as a warlock, however his talents were hindered by his quest to became powerful enough to challenge his parents as the leaders of the covern.

When Tyriana reached of age to begin training as a Warlock, her instructor pushed her hard to excell over her siblings. Naomhan had bought the best tutors in the land for his beloved daughter, going as far as threatening them with their lives should they fail their given tasks. It was during a training session in which one of Tyr's tutors commanded his demonic minion to attack his student, simply to gauge if Tyriana was capable of casting a banishing spell, a natrual defensive manuver all warlocks are born with. With a single strike to the young Darkstrider, the demon was called off. Tyriana lay on the ground, her arms and upper body covered with lacerations. In fright the worried tutor would run to his student only to find her wounds already beginning to heal. Her dark violet hair would from this point forever change to a golden blonde, strand by strand, a sign of purity. The stresses brought on by this attack awakened something within Tyriana. After that day the tutor was never seen or heard from again.

Many years passed by since Tyriana's run in with her first demon, her dark hair almost completly changed by this point. Her parents saw this as a sign, a sign in which their young daughter would be the one they were waiting for. Kel'Raven had moved out of Darkstrider Manor, seeking to find a Grand Master outside Quel'thalas. Andalia, amazingly, had grown close to her little sister, many a time would the two sneak away from their daily training sessions simply to play.

Things inside the Darkstrider Manor were looking up for the longest of times, at least until the Death Knight Arthas stormed through the land with his undead army. Many denizens within Quel'thalas perished at the hands of Arthas, not even the Darkstriders were safe. Matriarch Loriel disapeared during the invasion, Patriarch Naomhan was struck ill by an unknown disease. Tyriana and Andalia took to thier old training grounds, hoping to remain safe until the darkness lifted. Thier arrival back to thier home would only serve to show the sisters thier true destiny's.

M'uru' arrival in Silvermoon City was one of the greatest achievments of the Blood Elven army. When Andalia caught word of this event she sent for her younger sister to return home, apon filling in Tyriana and speaking with their father, it was decided that Tyriana be sent to the city to speak with the captors of M'uru. Little did Tyriana know, she would become her family's first Blood Knight.

Tyriana's encounter with M'uru and her subsequent aquiring of the powers of the Holy Light, the young Darkstrider realised now why she was chosen, from the moment she was born, Tyriana had never been capable of wielding the dark magic of a warlock, at least not with skill. Tyriana set out for her old home, finding her father on his death bed, she walked over slowly, covered in blood red garments and cloak, her head covered with a crimson hood, standing beside her father as he gaze up into his daughters emerald eyes, Tyriana removed her cloak to reveal her golden hair, leaning forward to embrass her father she whispered.

"For your support and unending love, father, i want to return my love for you and my family with this gift....."

Patriarch Naomhan's body began to change color, from a deathly pale to a healthy tan, that night a light shone from Darkstrider Manor the likes of which had not been seen emitting from the house since before the third war. After his recovery, Naomhan left the elven lands of Quel'thalas to search for his lost wife. As for Tyriana, she left to train her new powers so that should she be called apon, she would be ready. Andalia continued to serve as a Warlock within the walls of Silvermoon City, as for Kel'raven who had witnessed his young sisters rise in power, dark forces have began to twist his mind into hatred for his family.
