Archidian Dawntreader

General Archidian Dawntreader is heralded as the first, true Thalassian Warlord. While his brutality was not waged on the elven populace - indeed they benefitted from such - it earned him a name beyond the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas. General Dawntreader's ever-evolving ways of exterminating troll encampments throughout the southern reaches of Eversong ensured that the territories outside of the Capitol's walls were just as protected as the shining city itself, albeit through cruel means.

When the orcs came with the Second War, General Dawntreader had a new target for his practices. The orcs proved tougher, stronger and more resilient than the trolls he grew bored of dispatching, but it only spurred Archidian's nature on. The General was methodical, dispatching both the orcs and trolls through night raids, not bothering to discriminate between innocents and warriors. In the end, they were all the same thing; a threat. General Dawntreader's brutality knew little bounds when it came to dealing with such threats, a reign continued for over one-thousand years until his eventual disappearance with the rest of the Alliance Expedition.
