Scourge Invasion of Quel'Thalas

The Scourge Invasion of Quel'Thalas (aka the Fall of Quel'Thalas or Fall of Silvermoon) was a brutal battle occurring during the Third War, instigated by Arthas Menethil and his diabolical Scourge. The battle took place throughout the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas, resulting in a major weakening of the kingdom, causing 90% of the population to rename themselves to the Blood Elves, or Sin'dorei, and is considered a major event in Thalassian history.
