Ten thousand years ago, my city was radiant
The Jewel of the night elf empire: Suramar
Our people prospered for centuries, until the Legion came.
Entranced by the power they offered, our queen betrayed us to the ruin of the world
As destruction drew ever closer, a desperate choice was made
To conjure a powerful shield that would save our beloved city
It worked.
Centuries passed without moonlight, without sunlight
To survive, we turned to the Nightwell, a font of great power in the city's heart
Slowly, it changed us
And ultimately drew the Legion once more to our gates
They offered us a trade: the Nightwell for our lives
As the elders planned our surrender, some of us rebelled
We failed
Now the devils have taken Suramar
And by the curse of the Nightwell
I am damned to wither away as my city burns!
