Curators of Thalassian Culture

The Curators of Thalassian Culture are a sect of the Highguard devoted to the preservation and expansion of traditional Quel'dorei culture. Working from their Dalaran headquarters, the Hall of Thalassian Ancestry, the curators work to preserve their ancient culture in a variety of ways, including archaeological expeditions, traditional ceremonies, Thalassian lessons, historical and genealogical work.

Under the enthusiastic leadership of the elven nationalist Entilzha Firesong and with strong support from Ranger-Lady Aeriyth Dawnsorrow, the curators are growing in numbers and their work drawing support from throughout the SIlver Covenant.

Not hesitant to delve into dangerous places to uncover important pieces of history, the curators, though scholars, are a combat-ready unit, with potentially dangerous excursions supported by the 812th Farstrider Battalion and other divisions of the Highguard.

With a number of priceless artifacts among their collection, including a portrait of Sun King Anasterian Sunstrider in remarkably good condition (pictured), a scepter believed to have belonged to High Priest Vandellor, ancient spellbreaker armor, interesting runed items and a growing collection of tomes among their collection, the Curators have ambitious goals, not content to but display High Thalassian culture in galleries, longer term plans and hopes are to create a "living museum", a forest enclave built around the Ban'belore, Lord Firesong's dearest magical project, though the path ahead is long, the division strives to restore Quel'dorei civilization to its traditional forest setting, if initially a small enclave with the hopes of creating if not a home for their people, but a place which feels like the Quel'Thalas of times past.

Regularly conducting excavations and seeking out sources of historical knowledge, the Curators have a particular interest in aspects of Quel'dorei culture which are closest to extinction, with the traditional Quel'dorei priesthood and light-based practices an area of focus, as with architectural blueprints and designs from which to develop scale models of pre-invasion Quel'Thalas for display, and to better assure that when they're lands to work with, the structures built will capture the essence of the Quel'Thalas being destroyed by horde influence.

The Curators of Thalassian Culture welcome the aid or presence of all interested in passing on their own memories, as well as those interested in learning of the previously reclusive kingdom.

The pathway to the order's long-term goal of a living, breathing, truly Quel'dorei home and memorial is long, but with growing numbers and impressive finds coming in, its members are confident of their eventual success and unlike similar orders as the Explorers' League and Reliquary, value finds based on their cultural and historical worth, not their monetary value, and stand determined to usher in a Quel'Dorei renaissance.

Seeking broader support from the Quel'dorei diaspora and beyond, the Hall of Thalassian Ancestry sits near the pond in the Violet City, and offers a warm welcome to all neutral or alliance-affiliated parties interested in their work.
