Once upon a time, during the war in which Thrall rid Durotar of the Burning Legion, there was a woman and a soldier. The Woman was Eilia, the soldier was Alh-Eh. The two met on the bank of the Southfury River, though it was not known as the Southfury River then. It had no name.
To return to the story, they eventually fell in love, marrying years later. Eilia was proud that, after their first year of marriage, she was with child, a daughter that she would name Wah-Lei. Three years later, another child was conceived, again, a daughter who would be called Delani. One year after that, Alh-Eh was once again gifted with offspring, this one a boy whom he would name Ele, after his own father.
A year after Ele's birth, Alh-Eh was called to the battle against the Burning Legion. The end of the war was near, all could see this, and Alh-Eh knew in his heart he would not return. That night, he made sure his wife knew that he loved her dearly, and the next day, went off to war...
Alh-Eh did not return, killed at the hands of a warlock of the Burning Legion. Upon hearing this tragedy, Eilia sobbed for she was once again with Alh-Eh's child. A year younger than Ele, it was another girl. Eilia named the child Belindia, after her mother. Belindia would never see the face of her father whom her kin loved so dear.
The family of Trolls took refuge in Sen'jin Village, the birthplace of Wah-Lei and Delani (Ele and Belindia were conceived and briefly lived in Razor Hill) Eilia was open-heartedly welcomed by the village, their light spirits, not healing, but consoling her wounded heart.
Four years later, the day of Wah-Lei's ninth day of birth is another heartbreak for Eilia. The oldest daughter of Alh-Eh left her family behind to join the clergy. Even at a young age, Wah-lei felt the call of Priesthood. The family has not seen sight or word of her well-being for seventeen years. Eilia is distraught with worry.
Ele, even as a young child coming out of infancy, was amazed by technology. He loved every cog and gear and coil in every machine. He would spend his days on his inventions and fixing any gizmo that came his way. He now works in Orgimmar as a Artisan Engineer. He's in love with his work.
Belindia was always spending her time praying. Others thought that she too would follow the footsteps of her older-by-five-years sister and become a Priestess. But she did not, choosing instead the role of a Shaman. The elements are at her will and she uses them for her own gain.
And...
The blue-skinned Troll crept over the peak of rock in the wasteland of Durotar. Her keen blue eyes narrowed, concentrating on her prey. The boar snuffed it's nose once, not noticing the fierce Hunter raising her bow and pulling back her arrow. Her fingers curled around the wood of the weapon shooter as the girl bit her blue lip. There was a slight rush through her veins as she released the bow, quickly pulling another from her quiver and repeating the action quickly. The boar squealed, running towards the source of the arrow. The Troll fired once more before her target became to close. the adrenaline of the fight rushed through the Hunter as she tucked away her bow. Swiftly, she pulled from her belt her fathers
axe, the trolls reflection invisible from the light of the sun. The Hunter cried and charged, weapon in hand as her long braid bounced against her navy blue hair while she charged...
As for me, I took my role in the family as a provider. I decided to become a Hunter, as my father was. Mother says I look like him, that I act like him too. I take this as an honor.
Delani swung the axe with grace and power, cutting the boar's fur. Blood dripped onto the black coat as the beast snarled, attacking the girl with his tusks.
Seeing as how Ele was not going to provide for us, being so busy with his toys, I decided to take the job. I hunted and fed my family since I was able to. And now, as Mama is being provided for by Master Gadrin, bless his soul, I can now provide for myself.
The daughter of Alh-Eh gave a final fierce swing of the soldiers axe, slicing the head of the boar off and chipping a tusk. She bent over the creature and removed the finest chuck of boar meat she could find in the creature after removing the tusk she chipped. She wiped the blood of the boar onto her victims fur before placing it back in her belt.
My name is Delani. Just like that, get it right. Not De-lani. Del-Ani. Like that. I am the second child and second daughter of Alh-Eh, the soldier Hunter killed by the hands of the Burning Legion...and I will do my best to protect Durotar as my father died doing.
