įor nearly 7,000 years, high elven society centered on the sacred Sunwell, a magical fount that was created using a vial of pure arcane energy from the first Well of Eternity. Their new name is a dirge, referencing both the blood of their many brethren who fell during the Third War, and their royal lineage. The blood elves (or sin'dorei, 'children of the blood' in Thalassian - pronounced, or ) are high elves who changed their name after the Scourge invasion of Quel'Thalas. Kael'thas Sunstrider proclaims the rise of the blood elves
as of this day we will take the name of our royal lineage! As of this day, we are sin'dorei! For Quel'Thalas!” We must enter a new chapter! And so I say to you that, as of this day, we are no longer high elves! In honor of the blood that was shed throughout this kingdom, in honor of the sacrifices of our brothers and sisters, our parents, and our children, in honor of Anasterian.
