Lucaerna Duskstalker

Lucaerna Duskstalker is a Night Elven Demon Hunter who typically works out of Southern Eastern Kingdoms and northern Kalimdor. Formerly known as Lucaerna Moonsong, Lucaern is presently undergoing the rites of Demon Hunter initiation. While skilled in magics, she has not yet completed her training. A former Night Elven priestess of Elune, Lucaerna forsake the Light of her Goddess so that she may act more directly against Demonkind, knowing that the Burning Legion is coming to bring the long night, and that only cleansing fire can illuminate it.

Early Life
Lucaerna was born roughly 1,000 years after The Sundering. A time when the Night Elves had shut themselves off from the world and peace for the most part reigned as the Elves began their long vigil. Lucaerna was indecisive for much of her early years, unsure of whether to join the sentinels as her family had, being part of the former warrior caste, or to explore the new order being created by Tyrande Whisperwind. Eventually Lucaerna came to be a part of the Elunian order and took her vows to become a Priestess.

Service to Society
As the years and millenia passed by, Lucaerna came to be a strong and intense believer in the Goddesses power, helping her people as she could. Thoughout this time she gained some note as rather zealous and outspoken about the Night Elves being confined to small a domain in Northern Kalimdor. But at the same time was treated as somewhat of an outsider, having not taken part in the War of the Ancients and lacking perspective. As time went on she tempered her zeal with wisdom and became a talented healer and capable vessel of the Moon Goddesses power.

As time passed and wars passed, Lucaerna spent her time among her fellow priestesses, guiding Elven Society towards the greater good and wellness. Lucaerna spent much of her life isolated with the rest of the Night Elven, only when the Quiraj, the servants of the Old Gods, broke out of Ahn'Quiraj did Lucaerna leave the lands for the first time. Traveling south with other healers and warriors, she served to provide healing and comfort to fallen soldiers during the War of the Shifting Sands. As the conflict came to a close, she returned to her homeland, exulted by her people's power to hold back such a threat.

Spiritual Crisis
When The Third War came and the Night Elves found that they could no longer ignore the world, Lucaerna followed Tyrande and the other elven forces to Mount Hyjal where the World Tree, Nordrassil, lay in danger of destruction by the burning legion. As the Legion marched up the mountain, tearing through the mortals defenses, Lucaerna was at a loss. Power unlike any other was thrown against the Night Elves and only did they barely hold them back. The Light of the Goddess could provide some aid, but not enough. As her powers and blessings, strong as they were, failed in the face of an overwhelming enemy, Lucaerna, for all years of service, felt let down that the Goddess alone was unable to repel such an enemy.

The Night Elvens joined the Grand Alliance afterwards, Lucaerna didn't interact much with them, preferring to remain in the New City of Darnassus. Only when the Draenei crash landed on the nearby Islands did she decided to leave again. After spending time with them, she found she spent much time providing solace regarding their own fears of the Legion, much like her own people. She would assure them that things are alright and that they were defeated, as they were before her birth, but she could provide no comfort. She eventually took it to Valen, who granted her a vision, showing her just how close the Legion was and how imminent their attack was.

Lucaerna was shocked and taken aback, how could they be back so soon? So strong? She could heal soldiers one by one, and help fight a Demon, but so many? So many numbers? What was the strength of the Goddess to that when they had barely repelled the last invasion. Unable to remain with the Draenei any longer she left the city, but did not return to Darnassus, instead staying in Ferales. Eventually she decided that she would have to do all she could to repel the Legion and began to search out new ways of combating the legion and trying to ready people for the oncoming attack.

Aspirations
People were divided and wars were fought, Lucaerna traveled among the Alliance lands, and greater Kalimdor searching for an answer. She spent many years searching, until she came back to Feralas and bargined entry into the Highborn's Libraries in Dire Maul. Finding the writings of an ancient warrior, The Writings of the Dark Embrace, she sought out a followers of the teachings. Eventually finding 'help' in her Shan'do, Olanthar Shadowreaver, a Demon Hunter. She began to take up the teachings of the elf, forsaking her priestly trappings for simpler cloth. As she moved further from her vows, her Elune blessed abilities began to fade, The Goddess abhors Demons.
