A frequent sight around Stormwind's Maqe Quarter is a
High Elf dressed in red. The 'Red Lady' as Stormwind's
residents call her goes by the name of Skylandra
Silverwind and she descends from a long line of talented
healers. She is also, like most elves, far older than she
appears having been alive to see the Arathor Empire
established 2,800 years ago.
Unlike her kin, who found the humans to be detestable savages, Skylandra
was fascinated by their will to preserve their way of life on an increasingly
dangerous continent. During her travels she would come to reside among
the Alteraci. While not exactly trusting of outsiders they were in need of
skilled healers in their dangerous mountain home.
In time she would befriend Ignaeus who would in due time become
Chieftain of the Alteraci. She witnessed Ignaeus' defeat at the hands of
King Thoradin and was relieved when his life was spared. While Ignaeus
would become a general of Arathor and help defend the new city of Strom,
Skylandra would remain in the mountains she had come to see as her
home. The Alteraci suffered terribly during the Troll Wars but Skylandra was
a constant source of comfort to them in their time of trouble.
Over the ensuing centuries she would write several books detailing Alterac's
history, cultural practices, and language. She was a frequent guest at the
royal court and came to call several of Alterac's kings her close friends. As
the years passed Skylandra looked on with pride as the Kingdom of Alterac
became a great nation.
Skylandra only heard distant rumours of the Dark Portal's opening but they
left her uneasy. When war came to the shores of Lordaeron she worried
more. Like many within and without Alterac she was shocked when King
Aiden Perenolde's betrayal of the Alliance was discovered. However, the
occupation of Alterac and the later anarchy that descended over that land
left Skylandra cold. The land that she had come to love was left desolate
and its people dispersed. The warmth of the Light no longer seemed the
comfort it once did and increasingly she dabbled with the Shadow.
As the Third War ravaged Lordaeron Skylandra was forced to flee south to
the newly rebuilt Kingdom of Stormwind. She donned red, the old colour of
the Alteraci, in honour of the people she feels the Alliance has repeatedly
failed.
Skylandra happened to meet Kalimas Perenolde by accident one day. She
saw in Kalimas a chance to rebuild and the two began working together to
gather their scattered people. As Kalimas was under the surveillance of SI:7
Skylandra often acting as a go-between when negotiating important deals.
