Andruil Ashenfire

Lord Auriel Verdantfire is a well known Highborne Warrior and Lord. He is well known among the people of Azeroth. He can be very cruel to the -lesser races-. He was once the Grand-Lord of Winterspring and will one day rule the Frozen Crown again.

The Time of the Kaldorei
The Dawn Council was first formed approximately 20,000 years ago with the intention to change the world to perfection. The founder of the Dawn Council was, Lord Alodren Verdantfire. Lord Auriel Verdantfire was born not long after the formation and was raised in the Highborne city of Kel'Theril, Auriel Verdantfire is the son of the proud Highborne Lord, Vingalmo Verdantfire. Who after the death of Alodren became the Grand-Lord of the Frozen Crown of Kalimdor and commanded the members of the Dawn Council with an iron fist. Vingalmo led his people to take and build a bigger land area for the Highborne, such as Moonrest Gardens and Shandaral. When he passed away, his son, Lord Auriel Verdantfire became the leader of the Dawn Council and Grand-Lord of the Frozen Crown. At this time the northern Highborne and the rest of the Highborne Empire had a moment of peace. The Dawn Council acted as advisers, commanders and spies of Winterspring. But the troubles of the north were hard pressed, there were occasional clashes between the Kaldorei and there enemy's in the north, the kingdom of Azjol-Nerub and its vast rulers the spider beings called, Nerubians. Along with the many tribes of Ice Trolls.

When contact between the Kaldorei and Nerubians vastly different cultures led, inevitably, to war. Lord Auriel led many attacks in this ancient war, killing many Nerubians. But the Nerubians had a powerful weapon against the Kaldorei, a crystal orb of terrible magic known as the Eye of Nerub. Lord Auriel and his cast were hard pressed to defend themselves against the Eye and its dark arcane power, until the forging of a great sword, Blightsear, a weapon crafted to drive back the darkness of the deep earth. He watched over the crafting of the blade, which he gave to his most powerful and trusted knight. The knight used the power of Blightsear to shattered the Eye, driving the Nerubians back into the darkness of the underworld, and winning the day for the Kaldorei.

The War of the Ancients
Many years later the foolish Highborne in Zin-Azshari and his once thought great Queen Azshara opened the way for the Burning Legion. During the beginning of the demon invasion Auriel led an assault on the fortress of Sargeron which ultimately destroyed the Wailing Knights. Auriel erected a temple around the holy cask, Elune's Brazier, and claimed the city for his own. Auriel was unable to lift the demonic curse cast upon the surrounding lands by the Burning Legion, and eventually, Sargeron was left abandoned. The Burning Legion attacked the cities of the north and all over Kalimdor. But back in the north, deep in the shadows and depths of the underworld the Nerubians, seeing the Kaldorei sorely pressed by the demons, seized their opportunity at revenge, taking fragments of the broken Eye of Nerub, they placed them in a temple-cities built beneath the homes of the Kaldorei. The dark power of the Eye unraveled the Kaldorei's magical defenses, leaving them helpless against the invading demons. The demons strode through the cities of the Kaldorei, slaughtering all they found. Auriel just returning home, was not going to bow before the demons and wait for death to take him. So he round up every male and female able to wield a blade or bow and held there deference as long as they could in Kel'Theril. But finally the demons forces broke through and the remaining Kaldorei had to flee into the frozen wilds of the north. Auriel watched as his people were slaughtered before his eyes by snarling fanged beasts. After, The Sundering brought further misfortune for Lord Auriel and the Kaldorei of the north. Alone, cut off from his people, He and the remaining Kaldorei of Winterspring became easy prey for the people of the Spider Kingdom. Auriel fought long hard battles against the Nerubians before he was the last of his people still alive and standing in what today is called Northrend. His so thought "last mission" for his people was to sneak into Azjol-Nerub and steal the shards of the Eye of Nerub. After being successful in stealing them he hid them somewhere in Northrend that sometimes even he forgets where he put them.

Northrend Life
After hiding the shards. Auriel went into hiding, building a home in the ruins of a destroyed elven home. He had already known how to hunt and cook his own meals. But building shelter was harder than he thought. But in time he had build quite a life for himself. Years went by as they were nothing and he lived on alongside his frostsabers. But every night since the day the Legion attacked and slaughtered his people, he has nightmares and is constantly tortured. But one day something strange happened. A Quel'dorei by the name of Zander Whitestrake, calming to be lord of an island, offered Auriel a position as a teacher of the old Highborne ways for his people. Auriel turned the lord down and returned to his lonely life.

Present Time
After his home in Northrend was destroyed he took up Zander's offer to travel to the island of Mistveil. He arrived on the island to find out that Zander had died and that his daughter and her husband had taken up leadership of the island. He offered the Dynar'doril family his guidance in leading and his position as leader of the ancient Order of the Dawn Council, to Flame-Lord Tathaln Dynar'doril. He was made the Commander of The Dawn Council. For what he has done for the people of Mistveil, Auriel is highly respected be all. Auriel built a home and a place with noble houses of Quel'dorei and Sin'dorei. He lives in the Capital city of Mistveil, Dynarras.
