Silvermoon Remnant

The Silvermoon Remnant are the remaining high elves, still reeling from the loss of their homeland and the Sunwell. A broken people, they have now reunited with their ancestral allies, the humans, which led them to rejoin the Alliance, seeking to reclaim their ancient lands and return their people to their days of former glory.

Lore
Following the fall of Quel'thalas, Prince Kael'thas Sunstrider returned to Silvermoon only to find most of the elven population murdered, the Sunwell corrupted and the city in ruins, and King Anasterian dead.

Seeing the situation, Kael'thas gathered the remaining Elves in Silvermoon who had survived the attack and renamed them Blood Elves.

With this, Kael'thas again set out with a regiment of Blood Elves to the aid of what remained of the Alliance of Lordaeron to support the recovery of the kingdom and protect its people, however, Grand Marshal Garithos hated them and that forced Kael'thas to separate from the Alliance after almost being killed in Dalaran, along with other racist attitudes that denoted hatred towards his people.

Lost, Kael'thas joined Lady Vashj and Illidan and set out with the majority of the Blood Elves for Outland.

Those who remained waited, but Kael'thas never returned, feeling abandoned and having heard worrying news from Kael'thas' new allies, they determined to gather as many of the remaining Quel'dorei left in Quel'thalas and in the around the devastated kingdom of Lordaeron and left in caravans towards the south, in search of a new future, settling in Loch Modan.

After a long journey, a large group of High Elves managed to settle in the Farstrider Lodge, not all managed to survive, many were attacked by the minions of the plague, by the Horde and the Dark Iron Dwarves, the Alliance immediately came to the aid of the refugees.

After this, several were taken to Stormwind, settling in a small alley in the Dwarven District, while others left diplomatically to be accepted as another race in the newly formed Grand Alliance.
