"Victory is our’s this night. Elune has given us the power to save ourselves. The Horde burned our forests, thinking to kill our hope! They died for that folly, for our hope resides not in the trees, but in our bonds to each other. We are Kaldorei!"
– High Priestess Tyrande Whisperwind, Leader of the Kaldorei
"These were the words spoken by our High Priestess when she awoken the ancient blessing of Elune’s wrath and the power of the Shadow Warrior. As King Anduin Wrynn refused to send more forces to our aid in assisting to retake our lands after the loss of Teldrassil, we chose to return home to face the savage Orcish Horde and their new warchief who was responsible for the incineration of our last world tree. We ask any abled body of our kin and of those wielding the blessing of our goddess to take arms and assist us on this conquest. A new army has risen, the Army of the Black Moon, and we serve as their Outriders.
Let us show the Horde the true might of the Darnassian empire. We are Kaldorei!"
– Priestess Eliadris Sagebreath, Black Moon Emissary

Brief History:
After the fires of Teldrassil and the High Priestess procure the ritual of Elune’s wrath, and with King Anduin not being able to send any assistance to the Kaldorei’s conquest on retaking the Darnassian lands, the remnants of the Kaldorei had been called to arms to protect the lands that are truly theirs. Some of the Kaldorei followed Tyrande’s wake in pursuing the powers of the Shadow Warrior and joined the Army of the Black Moon.
Priestess Eliadris Sagebreath pledge her full loyalty in the High Priestess new army and formed a cavalry of outriders under her known as the Black Moon Outriders. They seek anyone of the Kaldorei or of those who are blessed by Eline to follow them in the conquest of defending and retaking the lands which is truly theirs.
This is a new era for the Darnassian people.
