Sakura Shan

"Ishnu-lyuu'dorei. Tor ilisar'thera'nal."

- Dróttinn Sakura Shan

The woman who would become known as the Dróttinn Sakura Shan is a legendary figure in Lyuudri history. Born into bondage in Feralas, her intelligence, strength of spirit, and faith in Elune quickly saw her become a community leader, and when the Burning Legion invaded and Elos Astarion Zin-Shalla pressed her people into service as warriors, she began a revolt that ultimately toppled Zin-Shalla's regime and established the Lyuudri as an independent tribe. Her ultimate fate is unknown, and while much of Lyuudri cultural history has been lost due to assimilation into Arathi culture, Sakura remains an important figure to the Lyuudri people.

History
While history remembers this woman as Dróttinn Sakura Shan, she was born simply as Sakura. The names of her parents are not recorded, but it is believed that she was an only child born into an agricultural community just north of the Highborne city of An'dalathar. Like all Lyuudri at the time, her life was the possession of the Prince of An'dalathar, Elos Astarion Zin-Shalla, the Highborne warlord who had enslaved her people as they fled from King Ymiron millennia before.
