Highborne Empire

The Highborne Empire was a massive ancient kingdom that spanned nearly the entirety of the landmass of [[Kalimdor] during its apex. For nearly three thousand years, it prospered as a multicultural empire of scholars, sorcerers, and warriors. Due to increasing disparity between social and economic classes, rising tensions between Highborne and Kaldorei, civil wars between the Great Houses, the mania and narcissism of Queen Azshara, and the emergence of Druidism and Naturalism as prominent philosophies, the Empire fell into rapid decline, ending in the War of the Ancients which destroyed the Highborne Empire and shattered Kalimdor in an event known today as The Sundering.
