The Great Tree
Narrator: ''Long, long ago, after the great war had ended the Kaldorei were recovering from their great victory and loss. The great well had been destroyed in the name of victory and the safety of the world. But with it the Kaldorei lost their power and empire. However, they were all decieved.



The Betrayer: ''With these stolen vials... I shall reignite the well! For without it I will not have my power and without my power I am nothing! No! I will never lose my power! No matter who suffers, I will have my way! Nature be damned!



Narrator: ''So, the Betrayer threatened the entire Kaldorei race, creating another well upon a mountain, risking drawing in the demons back to the world. But he did not go unpunished...



The Savior: ''What have you done! You shall pay for this!

Narrator: ''The grand druid and hero of the war decided to chain the Betrayer for his crimes!



Narrator: ''He put the Betrayer in the care of the Warden, another hero of the war.

The Savior: ''You will be chained under the earth, where the dark things dwell, and you shall know humility! Warden! Take him away!



The Warden: ''I shall watch you forever, monster! My sisters and I will forever hunt your evil!



Narrator: ''But even with the evil of the Betrayer locked away deep inside the earth the well still thrived. Unsure what to do the Savior turned to the Great Aspects. Time...



Narrator: ''Nature...



Narrator: ''And Life...





Narrator: ''And all three of them thought long and hard. They knew the Kaldorei were protectors and had earned a reward for their acts during the war. So the Lifematron placed an acorn in the well. And blessed the Kaldorei with immunity to sickness.



Narrator: ''The Dreaming Lady blessed it with her power, allowing the druids to follow her into her dreams, to grow strong with nature.



Narrator: ''And the Timelord blessed the Kaldorei with eternal life, forever to guard the tree and nature.



Narrator: ''And with that the tree grew!



The Timelord: ''Forever the Kaldorei..

The Dreaming Lady: ''Shall guard this world...

The Lifematron: ''And have our blessings.

Narrator: ''And with that the Kaldorei ived and prospered. For ten thousand years they used this blessing to protect the world and nature. And even today, after losing this blessing, the Kaldorei continue their selfless protection.
