The Magistrate that governs over the Thalassian Elves extends past the Magisters themselves. While they make up much of the Sin’dorei, there are several other groups that have been founded or put together by the Magistrate themselves for other various reasons; specifically for the defense of their homeland; Quel’thalas. The Military Department, or Department of Defense and Security, works closely with these non-magister organizations to maintain peace within Quel’thalas borders and within the Sin’dorei themselves.
Among keeping peace within Quel’thalas borders, the Military Department also keeps communication between other department branches, diplomacy for both Horde and Neutral organizations and gathers information with specialized agents called Pathstalkers.
Leadership[]
Moranai Sunstrike Councilor of the Magistrate
- Moranai grew up learning the arcane arts from several different teachers. A scholar and military woman, she spent part of her life in several parts of the Thalassian Army along with her twin Seylena. When not in the Military, she could be found teaching others how to wield magic or working with the Silvermoon Magistrate. Presently, Moranai is working to get back on the field as she oversees the military side of the Magistrate, as well as the diplomacy between the other Horde races.
Caesar Suncrest Minister of War
- Caesar Suncrest, in his past life, was a renowned magister who led a group of Thalassian defenders of Quel'thalas. However, due to the orders of his higher command, he was forced to make a heart-wrenching decision that sacrificed the lives of his family and his men's families for their own safe passage to Silvermoon, while escaping the undead hordes led by Arthas. After the siege, Caesar faced the fury of his Order witnessing their disdain for the leader they all once respected. After that, Caesar, locked in not only a deep sea of despair and animosity, exiled himself from Silvermoon and decided to give his service to those he failed, as a necromancer that raises the dead and marches them to properly made burials. Long after that, Caesar has finally come out of self-exilement to dedicate himself to the nation of Quel'thalas, as a magister, once more, still having trouble with leaving his past behind.
Kelanor Dawnwarden Chief of Missions
- Kelanor is and has always been a reluctant leader, the son of a well known and respected magister he was always expected to take his place. Kelanor, however, had other plans and was more often than not described as a troubled child. A talented arcanist to be certain but not one that enjoyed the game that was Silvermoon politics. More often than not he found himself ranging as far from the borders of Quel’thalas in seek of relics of the past. Anything to distract him from a destiny he didn’t want. When Arthas laid waste to his homeland Kelanor’s father fell and the Dawnwarden line was all but extinguished. In the months and years following Kelanor bounced between the city and the wilds. Serving his nation in his own way, honoring the fallen how he felt he had to. Years later in an odd twist of fate Kelanor is doing exactly what his father had always wanted for him. Serving Quel’thalas in a somewhat public role. Despite his past Kelanor is fully committed to his people and his role. Ready to perhaps make amends for years of running.
