Shan'do

Shan'do is an honorific title used by the Night Elves that means "Honored Teacher" in Darnassian. The term is an old one, stretching back beyond the War of the Ancients, but gained it's greatest usage in the arts of Druidism, as the Demigod Cenarius himself was referred to as "Shan'do" by his student, Malfurion Stormrage. It's complimentary term is "Thero'shan."

Use by Druids
Druids almost always refer to their instructors as Shan'do to reflect the shared relationship of respect between them. Malfurion Stormrage is almost universally recognized as Shan'do even by non-Night Elves. Shan'do and Thero'shan share a mutually beneficial nature of respect between them that mirrors the respect between Druid and nature.

Use by Demon Hunters
Demon Hunters also make use of the title Shan'do. The practice is more common amongst the Night Elven culture from which the tradition arises. While Blood Elven Demon Hunters may use the term 'Master' for their instructors, they have also been known to refer to their mentors as Shan'do. Some Demon Hunters may use the title of Shan'do in mockery of Malfurion Stormrage, in anger for his treatment of Illidan Stormrage, the "Shan'do" to all Demon Hunters.
