Vereesa Windrunner

11

Vereesa Windrunner is a High Elf ranger in the and youngest of the Windrunner sisters, after Alleria and Sylvanas. She serves the Alliance and is best known as the leader of the Silver Covenant, a militant High Elf group based mainly in Dalaran. Vereesa was born into the noble Windrunner family of Quel’Thalas. Her early life was shaped by repeated wars and loss. During the Second War and later the Scourge invasion, much of her family was killed and her homeland was destroyed. After the fall of Quel’Thalas, Vereesa became increasingly involved in politics and military leadership. When Blood Elves were allowed back into the Kirin Tor, she opposed the decision and founded the Silver Covenant. As its Ranger-General, she positioned the group as a rival to the Sunreavers, defending High Elf traditions and influence in Dalaran. Vereesa took part in major events during Wrath of the Lich King, including the recovery of the blade Quel’Delar. Her life was again shaken when Rhonin was killed during the destruction of Theramore. After this, she strongly supported Jaina Proudmoore and played a role in the purge of the Sunreavers from Dalaran.
